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

I looked closely and did not see any damage or rubbing. Maybe a high spot on your rail?

 

Interesting they designed the guard and exposed the sway bar, guess sway bars don't need protection from the elements

 

It’s cause he running the TRD lift.

 

Ordered the rock sliders and lift/leveling kit from Westcott Designs on Black Friday! Finally got them installed with 35” tires today.

 

No high spots. That's weird because it's on both of the covers they sent me. Is your metal not exposed like this?

 

Ahhhh! I see now. I took a look closely while in the folded position and flipped up. Yes I do have exposed metal, but it is rounded and de-burred. I can see how potentially the metal can cut into the rubber especially if the aluminum portion making contact isn’t smooth. No cuts or visible damage, for now. Fingers crossed.

 

Thanks for the picture, that helps me see I'm not crazy. I am going to see if I can find a thin piece of foam to put over the edge that doesn't affect the closing.

 

Nice. Any wheel spacers or is that stock offset

 

Just added a busted windshield. Hit a turkey this morning on our way to the campground. Looks like an early Thanksgiving dinner in my future.

 

Just went to my local car stereo place.

Getting new kenwood excellion tweets for dash

Installing 2000w inverter/separate AGM batter behind back seat to get me 110 power and extra USB in back seat mounted where factory should have been. There will be an off off switch on the button console on dash since it’s its own system and won’t tax the truck battery.

It will also be able to run bed mounted 110 outlets later should I choose, however I’ll have DC power there anyway when my Leer topper comes in.

1300$ everything. ‍♂️ way cheaper than the 400w OEM set up. You’d need to pay up from TRD SR5 like $3000. Although I guess you’d get the 14” screen.

 

Hope there was no paint or body damage.

 

Picked this up today…



brought it home…



aaaand debadged platinum moldings. Used a bottle cap to hold the molding up and fishing line to cut the tape. Moved it forwards as I went.



On the drivers side I started on the skinny side. Look a little to get the platinum badge up. Passenger side I started at the platinum badge at it went way faster.



I just pulled the tape every few inches and it pulled right off.



I think it came out great!

 

Just beautiful, definitely less is more in this case. I also don't like that fake vent badges on the I-Force Max hoods. Really so much cleaner without all this badging going on. The truck is easier to wash and keep clean without them.

 

Ways easier to clean - I agree... Problem with the Hood Badging is the holes in the hood if you remove them.

 

Damn !! That sucks… no “A” pillar damage ?

 

Thankfully, No other damage. Could've been a lot worse for sure.

 

But how will everyone know it's MAX?!?!

 

It's the RC hidden winch mount.

 

You will, who cares what others think. Also with the extra torque off the line consider it a sleeper.

 

added tvd vinyls @rrentrop to the rear and front. red on paper, more orange in reality once installed. at least they match the wheel color (candy red)

added the wheel for comparison

edit: resized the pics for easier comparison

 

just ordered some rek gen sport mud flaps for the tundra. oem mud flaps are solely lacking if you are using anything but oem wheels and tire sizes.

set of 4 @ $155 plus $11.50 shipping.

I replaced the OEM TRD skid plate and installed the RCI skid plate today. To be honest, the install wasn't as smooth as I had hoped. Between my lift kit and the CBI bumper, I had to change up the skid plate mounting. RCI's website says their skid is compatible "...with all 1-3″ coilover lift kits..." so I assumed they had taken into consideration the sway bar drop that most kits include. If you have the OEM TRD 3" lift, like @Eurodriver, you can install the plate above the sway bar (same as the OEM TRD skid plate). He has pics showing that. However, if you have a lift that uses a 3/4" drop bracket (like Icon) then you still need to use additional spacers, just like with the OEM TRD Skid Plate.

I won't rehash everything in this post since the solutions are a little niche vs being applicable to everyone. So, I'll link the post from my build thread if you want to read more details and see more pics. If you have the full CBI bumper, you might check out my post before you pull the trigger on this.

CBI covert and RCi aluminum skid. Side note a BD onyx6 20” and a Factor 55 offset fairlead will not work.

 

I wish you could get them sans logo.......

 

I had them on my RAM with a gloss black logo, it basically disappeared.

 

you can get them in black logo, you cant see them on dark colored mud flaps.

 

Mounted 4 bike racks & mud flaps yesterday!

 

Super minor, but this has been bugging me since I brought it home.

 

Just got the F5s installed

 

now you just need the trd fender flares to give a better protection than the oem ones
