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

Really nice...if you don't mind, would you tell me what you hated enough about the pro suspension that led you to ditch it for Kings?

 

I didnt hate the pro suspension. They’re really nice and smooth but I needed a 2.5” lift to run bigger tires and take the truck to some remote Offroad camp locations (rock sliders soon). The pro front coilovers aren’t adjustable

 

Are the pro suspensions still available for sale?

 

I haven’t posted them for sale yet but yes, they’re still available

 

cool. looking forward to seeing the listing... I've been thinkiing about the TRD lift kit.

 

Surprised with the start of rust on there for a west coast vehicle.

I used fluidfilm on my undercarriage and that kept the rust at bay in the northeast rust belt. (thanks to the towns using salt on the roads in the winter)

 

I saw those in your photos. Hmmm. I've had to touchup some spots as well but I think they were from rockchips.

 

I bought it from a Jeep dealership who bought the car at auction ~8 months ago and it sat on their lot way overpriced. They called me friday and told me they would take MSRP if I came in that day.

The papers in the window were a notice that it was being sold without a warranty from the dealership, but it still had the Toyota warranty on it since it had ~500 miles on it.

 

How did you delete the fake noise?

 

lol yeah it kinda does look like rust but it's actually red dirt from flagstaff/sedona when i picked up the camper. I still need to power wash all the dirt from that area

 

Speaking of powerwash....
Do you know of any forums where I can poll an audience to see if my Costco purchased Husqvarna 3200 can be dialed back to something that won't blast off my Tundras paint?

 

I own the Generac version of the Husq and make sure you are using the right nozzle. Adding a prewash soap foam helps too.

 

Yeah I think it depends on the nozzle you're using. Some are meant for washing the car and some are meant for stripping paint. Hopefully your power washer came with a few attachments.

 

I asked the dealer to have the tech remove it during the oil change. They did without any issue. I’ve gotta say, it really sounds waaaay better without it

As for today, dropped her off at the body shop to have that ding in the roof fixed. It’s sad what’s about to be done to her, but at least it’s a certified Toyota collision center and the company that caused the damage is paying…..

 

How often do you have to apply Fluid Film?

 

Do you have part numbers for the black matt door handles? And, did they come with the access system? I have that on my limited and I need to make sure the door handles will have that too.

 

I bought them from Sparks Toyota and they sell whatever flavor you'd like. Click the link and then select the color you want. Comes in a set of four, and the sensors are included (built-in) with the front handles.

Glad you are safe! Please share the link to the safety review, I'm sure alot of us are curious about what your experience was with the 3rd gen Tundra and its ability to protect you in the accident.

 

Installed my tonneau cover

 

Wow. Glad you are okay. Sucks for the truck though. Hopefully the guy has good insurance.

 

Us northerners that use fluid film (or similar product, I prefer surface Shield) and apply it annually. Put it on in the fall and don't do car washes with an undercarriage cleaning

 

Snow in Dallas!

 

Rip .

I’ll never forget as consultant I was in Atlanta when it snowed a half inch and it shut down the city and people were abandoning their cars on the highway.

 

Decals off, de-badged, polished, and sealed. Came out great and will hopefully protect until I can ceramic coat it.

 

looks great!

 

I like those white letter tires. Old school!

 

Here are the sliders I'm running, and here is the rear bumper.

 

Picked up a new iKamper X-Cover 2.0 and then did a night-shoot

Just little stuff... dog seat cover and short leash that plugs into the seatbelt socket. And the BedRug mat. Before several of you guys say get a rubber mat realize that this is to make my bed work more like a big trunk than to haul heavy junk. It is ideal for that... and will take occasional abuse when necessary. One thing that I thought was interesting is that they provided Velcro strips with adhesive to attach this to the bed. Totally unnecessary when you have a Tonneau cover. And, personally, I would never use this type of cover in an open bed. That's what those rubber ones are for. The first BedRug photo was it taking a nap in the living room to straighten out after arriving rolled up.

 

Which one did you get? I have the OEM Toyota folder and it seems pretty solid. But I don't believe that it can be locked down in an intermediate position like the old Pace Edwards retract on my Tacoma, which is something I find useful quite often. Unless there are some tricks to do that with the folder?
