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

I have a full King Racing suspension tuned by @AccuTune Offroad (highly recommended by the way). After the front bumper and winch install the front sat a little lower but not much. I'm just noticing it more right now because the rear is an inch higher than it previously was because of the new rear springs.

King does make a 700 lbs spring for the front coils that I'm looking into with the team at AccuTune but they haven't used those on the King coilovers yet for a 3gen Tundra. Not sure if the 700 lbs spring will keep the font end up a little more or not. I need to take some measurements for Accutune so they can do the math and make their recommendation, but it's going to be a little while before I can get it back on a lift to do that.

Either way, with the setup I have the ride is great and there is enough clearance for 37" tires.

Rear bumper is on my list, I like the CBI option and after seeing the quality of their front bumper I will likely go that route as well. I was waiting to see if someone will make one I like with an integrated spare tire mount on a swing arm.

Also the Magnaflow overland exhaust is on my radar. Sounds like you have good taste! lol

 

Do it! Just finished install this morning. Pretty tame with the ndt canister installed. Just enough purr with no drone or cold start nonsense

 

Smoke, holding up great.

 

funny you blanked out your personal info but left the tracking number in so everyone can still your personal info if they pull up the ups tracking #


well i guess you cant pull up an old # if its past 120 days. lucky you

 

For sure 100% and well said.
I was lucky enough to camp pretty much my entire life, living the best you can with natural resources at your disposal is priceless.I felt getting the kids outside and exposing, teaching them about the lay of the land and nature vs a game controller or a phone in their hands is much more valuable and rewarding in building self confidence and leadership.
Funny that the majority of people you meet doing the same as you are down to earth and see the same values in family and life itself.

Keep it up man and enjoy them kids grow up waaaaay to fast.

 

For those that like a rake, what is your opinion on what amount that rake should be? My truck stock was around 1" I think. But I've read where people say the "normal" rake on any given truck is around 1.5" - 2.5". Anyone running a rake that high 2.5"?

 

Going to be wrestling with this beast of a tent later today, fortunately I have a forklift to help with the install.

 

Installed Dobinson IMS suspension this afternoon. Now waiting on Diamondback Cover which won't deliver until mid December.

 

There were a couple of Diamondback covers for sale in the Marketplace on this site. Pretty good prices too. One of the ads had some accessories selling separately.

 

How you liking the Dobinson thus far? Have any issues with sensors, etc? I have that truck in a different color and am thinking about that lift.

Sharp truck! Don't think I've seen a Platinum in Lunar Rock before?

 

Added KEY200.4 Amplifier to ^above setup. Tucked away in the shared space with stock headunit, hidden from view, accessible for adjustments by popping out dash tray. Has automatic DSP setup which is a nice feature to achieve ideal tone, level and balance to fine tune the amp to individual system. And independent gain dials for front and rear pref levels. Had a local audio shop do the install (placement and connections), then i ran DSP in my garage. Nice add; it brings the existing Kenwood door dash speakers to same sound level as the existing Infinity subwoofer which was already powered and amplified.

 

Westcott 2/1 lift for AVS/rear air installed.

Busy afternoon
- TRD dual tip tail pipe. Minimal change in sound, prefer the smaller dual tips to the larger diesel poser tip. Install easy, jacked drivers side frame till tire 2 in off ground, dropped spare, disconnect drivers shock and gently dropped axle watching brake line. Pipe in/out real eazy. Had to tweak the rear hanger and mount on pipe to clear power step.

So far so good but only put on this afternoon. Took it in and had front end alignment done and is driving true. I had the same lift on my 2nd Gen Tundra and had no issues at all, highly recommend the lift. Both times I ordered through https://exitoffroad.com/. Their customer service is great and very helpful in answering questions. They are have a Black Friday sale all of November offering 15% off all purchases.

 

Added some dirty sevens !!!

 

No issues with the power bed step? I have one of these on order and remember reading some concerns about that. Also, 5 or 6' bed? Thanks!

 

Had to tweak the hanger. tried the pipe side first, could not get enough, then did chassis side. It's ugly. If the hanger rubber stretches I'll take the air hammer to the pipe next.

 

Same here. I like my IMS setup so far and also ordered from ExitOffroad. It shipped quickly too.

 

I was thinking of adding a Pro Grille but this is so much more functional.
Pro Grille is $1200 with install. Can I get that setup for that amount?

 

Bumper is $900 from YotaMafia, the winch should be on sale soon at Harbor freight for around 450-500. I do my own installs.

looks great! Any chance you have part numbers and were they difficult to change out?

 

All the part numbers I found are listed here
Very easy to swap out just watched a few YouTube videos I found

Which Diamondback did you order?

 

TRD pro grill is super cheap from your dealer- sub $200. Install is easy, just take your time

 

Wireless remote?
If not, how do you store the remote?

Newbie to winches.

Thanks

 

Dobinson's IMS lift on!

 

Ordered the SE. Considered the HD however couldn’t justify for what I will use it for.

 

Good choice, I had the HD on my Ridgeline but that was overkill, Got an SE for the Tundra and it works just as well.

 

Ordered 35x12.5x17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires, Method 316 wheels w/+25 offset, Cornfed 2/1 level, Go Rhino Dominator Xtreme D6 side steps and a screen protector. Can't wait for everything to arrive!

 

Did the Pro grille and surround swap today. Surround parts were from paintedoemparts.com. Reflect what basically everyone has said: quality is great.

Plan is to remove the Platinum side pieces and eventually swap out the black fender "flares" with color matched. Still debating on eventually swapping to a wheel with less offset, but that won't be happening any time soon.
