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

I'd poke my head around with a flashlight first. It's a pain to take it all apart! NW IN here.

 

Your not getting anything for Christmas, you have all of the reindeer in your trucks bed…

 

Added Peragon cover, Predator steps, Bed Slide, and raised tailgate letters.

 

Took it on a road trip along the north shore of Lake Superior.

 

Swapped out my front bumper and headlights
fab four matrix
alpharex luxx series

 

Yes, easy install, they just give you 4 longer stainless bolts that replace factory box bolts, and it comes with brackets that fit perfect. I have the factory bedliner, only had to cut liner around factory bolt heads with utility knife, then they just pop right out. The bed slide is pretty heavy, weighs about 200lbs, so install is not a one man job, but I love the thing, completely eliminates need for climbing up in box and you don't lose much space compared to storage box type setups. Cost was about $1,600, depends on which model you get, I went with the 1000 CL, its really heavy duty, built like a tank!

 

Ha thanks, yeah she really turned out nice, yeah not many Tundras around here, took me almost a year to get mine but it was worth the wait! I plan to put a Fab Fours Matrix on next, just like the post after mine!

 

i'm from Cottage grove MN, i've seen a good handful of 3rd gens now. there's 3 total just about a block or 2 from me but they are stock though. but not many modified ones i've seen.

 

TRD exhaust is on. Sounds better than stock but is waaaay quieter than the TRD on my old 2nd gen Tacoma.

 

Sweet rig man! I love the DRL pattern of the Alpha's. Did you go black or alpha black?

 

Little bit of product testing. Air damn delete via JB4

 

Rear Dobinsons 2in lift springs, Dr. KDSS track bar correction kit installed. Wow wow wow the handling is night and day better over the oe springs with the westcott puck. The kings came alive too

 

Do you have the part # on those Dobinsons springs? My setup is almost exactly the same except I went with the Dobinsons adjustable panhard bar and upper trailing arms. I also have those Timbren bump stops because I tow a 23" overland trailer and still don't like the sag that causes.

I'm pretty sure Dobinson has different spring rates and heights on those rear springs so I'm curious as to the exact ones you got.

 

Yup, mine is the C59-841 (2” with 0-110 added weight) I haven’t yet towed with them but I left a rake for that reason. I only have the front coils at around 1.5” lift(10-11 threads)

 

Cool, thanks. My front coils are at max height based on Kings recommendations and I have the Wescott puck in the back with factory rear springs and with that there is about 1/2 of rake. I assume the rake will be closer to 1.5" with the Dobinsons 2" springs. If that's the case the trailer will basically level it out when I'm towing.

 

I’ll have to measure it but I think you’re spot on. The rear definitely lifted up considerably(surprisingly)

If you’re towing often and want to compromise a little no-load ride quality possibly a higher spring rate? Mine are like pillows compared to stock lol

 

Black carbon fibered the mustache, PPF'd the hood, added Ranch Hand grille guard with 2" receiver...

 

Picked up a bolt in the sidewall last week, so new pair of shoes went on this afternoon.

After:

 

looks 100% better. what are the size/brand?

 

Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/65/R20 on stock rims and no lift/level

 

Had a flat tire this am (road trip last night home from Ketchum, ID) and took it in to the tire shop. Turns out one of my wheels was broken… back to stock while I wait for a replacement, looks absurd

 

Changed the grill to TRD Off Road and added Falcons Garage Front Skid Plate, not pictured added the control know to add MTS/Crawl control, Crawl control doesn’t work, as I don’t have locking diff from my understanding

 

Install was straightforward. You can see the opening they left for the camera... they provide a panel to fill the opening, I may look at relocating the camera and filling that. No sag noted.

 

Install wasn't bad, just need patients with the clips (which is one thing I am on short supply of,LoL), had to get a 3d printed bracket, got if from Brian Hall @roboots21, it was $25 for the bracket. No issues with sensor or cameras, just make sure you do reconnect all the sensors, lessons learned from others. From start to finish, taking my time and taking breaks, it was done in about 3 hrs, there are some good YouTube videos on it.
The skid plate was only about 38 lbs didn't notice any sag, also have access to the filter and there is a hole for getting to the oil

 

Received and installed a set of Wet Okole front seat covers. I had Wet Okoles on my 2012 Tundra and they held up great, are waterproof, were very comfortable and allowed me to wear wet waders in the truck without hurting the original seats. The new set didn't fit quite as well as the ones I got for the 2012 and the arm rest covers were not a good fit at all, due to the design of the consol. Honestly, the seats themselves in my 2012 Tundra were more comfortable than these in my 2023 and the new seat design made it a bit more difficult to install these seat covers. Overall though, I'm glad I got the Wet Okoles. They are a fairly thick neoprene and will add some more cushioning to the seats and are warm in winter and still very comfortable in summer. Mud and water won't hurt them.

 

Oem grille, oem marker lights, tuff skinz tri color, dd grille and stealth bar. Surround is off as it goes into the shop to be fixed after someone side swiped me. Excuse to color match and ditch the (dark) chrome!

 

Even your dog looks impressed by what you did.

 

More like mad I spent time on the truck rather than taking her out for a run/bike haha

 

Any issues with the sensor for cruise assist?

 

I was able to find someone local who can print this form me. Is the 20oz bottle version also posted?
Thanks!
