WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TUNDRA TODAY?

These are their 0 offset. It’s got some decent poke, more in the front. Hoping once I level it this week it’ll look a bit more natural.

 

Need a hug?

 

Added the TRD running boards. Dig them - very grippy…

Hoping to do Westcott 3/1 soon with 35s (maybe 37s)

 

What percent tint is that on the front?

 

Not sure what his has but here's a pic of mine with 30% all around and a visor strip. I feel like this was a good percentage without feeling too dark at night.

 

The bronze wheels look really good. Tint always help with the looks of a vehicle

 

Thanks! I never tinted my last Tundra so I made it a priority on this one.

 

Every vehicle I’ve owned always gets limo in the back and 20% (or equivalent) on the front. It’s a must! I feel naked and the sun will get me and melt everything inside lol.

 

Has anyone removed that gloss black vinyl on the A-pillar yet? In my opinion, it would look a lot better without it

 

I'm waiting to hear this same thing. I'm thinking of removing mine but just too chicken to go first, lol

 

I think some SR models even come with out any wrap on the a-pillar.. here is an example i found on facebook. Not mine. Honestly the oem wrap is not the best quality.. i took a close look at the edges on mine and i can certainly see chips along the bottom of the a-pillar.. we'll see how long it lasts. Personally I kinda like it, resembles my motorcycle helmet visor.

 

The SR trim does not have the vinyl wrap on the A & B pillars. If your truck is one of the 4 "base" colors (White, Midnight Black, Magnetic Gray, or Celestial Silver) then you can just go to the Tundra builder on Toyota.com to see what the truck looks like without the black vinyl on the pillars.

If you want to see additional colors with the vinyl removed...there has been a few people that have done it on the various FB groups. Search some of the FB groups and you'll eventually find a few different trucks. I know I've seen one in Lunar Rock floating around with the black vinyl removed.

IMO it looks bad without it, but to each their own.

There's even a guy who went the opposite direction and wrapped the entire top of the cab & roof in matching gloss black. THAT looks really strange. To each their own, but when I see that truck I keep expecting it to turn into a convertible or something.

 

I personally like the pillars blacked out. When the OE fails I’ll either have it replaced under warranty or have it redone. Just depends on the failure timeline

 

Yeah, huh... I completely forgot that the SRs don't have the cosmetic vinyl

 

LMAO, Transformers Tundra Convertible

i've seen that one too with the entire cab/roof blacked out... here it is. Wasn't my style either.. but to each their own

 

Why didnt they black out the chrome window trim? Would have actually looked good that way

 

That's the one! I keep expecting it to do this...

Side note: This is a legit conversion that can have done at Newport Convertible Engineering. No photoshop.

 

@Demar002 Care to share which 14" Matte screen protector you have? Looks great (Along with everything else you've added).

 

Good on you. I didn't have to secure the fabric trim with anything when I folded it back after removing the mud flaps. I just folded it and squeezed it to put in a fold "crease" in it. Then reinstalled the 3 (or 4?) 10mm screws that held the mud flap on. The fabric is still tucked away a week later.

If it ever pops out, I'll try some carpet tape or just poke a hole through it to secure it with a zip tie.

 

Very cool, quick question i meant to ask you before, but did you end up buying aftermarket tpms sensors for your new Battle Borns? Or did you have them remove the factory sensors from your stocks. Curious if the truck read the new sensors without issue? I heard somewhere that sometimes aftermarket sensors would have to be reprogrammed... at least for the 2.5 gens..

 

I just had the tire shop swap over the existing TPMS sensors onto the new wheels. I thought about buying a second set of sensors, but I'm still undecided if I want to sell or keep the OE Wheels & Tires. If I end up selling them, I didn't want to waste $60 per wheel for new TPMS sensors.

 

Good deal, ill do the same then. I guess we're paying them so i dont have to feel bad lol. Felt bad they had to unmount the tires and remount them just to get the sensors out.

 

Don't feel too bad. They just have to air them down, pop the bead, take out the stem/sensor assembly, slap in a rubber valve stem, and then air them back up. They don't even have to fully remove the tire from the rim. I would venture a guess they do it 90% of the time when people buy new rims. I seriously doubt very many people buy a second set of TPMS sensors for their new rims.

 

and might as well gloss black the mirror caps too

 

Going for that Land Rover/Range Rover look I see

 

2” Leveling kit from an old Gen.

 

Nice

Ceramic coated. Chrome delete next week

 

What’s a 5 year coating?

 

Got some seat covers on. Kind of a temporary solution until I can come up with the money for Katzkin leather covers. The grey cloth seats are a stain haven waiting to happen when you have kids. I found these on Amazon for sale for $132 on the black and grey color. Matches the interior great! The ad said it fits 08-22 tundras so I kind of knew it was a long shot they’d fit perfect. They fit well enough to use for a while, better then the Autozone universal ones. The back seat accommodates the 60/40 split but since the old rear seats have square corners there is a little dead space at the corner, not a huge deal. The material is a “soft leatherette” but is also waterproof so should protect the original covers and clean up after any spills, dirt, etc.
