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

I've only had my 24 Tundra for a couple weeks now and really haven't figured out yet what I want to do, but today I did add the red lettering to the front grill.....baby steps for me, considering it is the first truck and new vehicle I've ever owned.

 

Looking good!

 

Found a Toyota OEM bed cover on Facebook!

 

Forgot to post the first picture I’ve taken with the trailer in tow from this past weekend. Got a wonderful view of the aurora borealis as well.

 

Finally got around to installing the NYTOP front recovery points. It was an absolute pain getting the lower valance on and off mainly because I have the Bumpershellz mustache chrome delete installed. It was challenging getting the left and right side lips of the valance under the bumper cover and original mustache.

I found that using a multi tool saw (the one that vibrates) was the best choice to cut the holes for the recovery points. I used a box cutter to fine tune the hole to make it fit correctly.

 

I added some KB Voodoo cross bars to my Retrax cover. The fitment is top notch and I like the low key design of them. Some of the other options were a bit too bulky and aggressive for my liking. The only hiccup was they sent me cross bars that were not threaded for the bolts. It took about 10+ days to finally receive replacements and I was unable to use my RTT for my last camping trip.

I was hesitant about purchasing these considering the past issues they had with rust and customer service but it’s now backed with a lifetime warranty. We will see how they hold up.

 

What are you going to use that for? Bikes, Kayaks?

 

Looks like a fork mount bike rack on that.

 

There was a recall on those covers. Does it have the newest retainer system on the front bolts? If not be sure to check your bolts periodically that they haven't come loose. If you're not sure there are definitely posts about the recall repair that probably have pics.

 

Ft Mac?

Stay safe!

 

Right now I got it set up for my mountain bike with a Rockymounts fork mount. I highly recommend it. It’s a little extra work taking the front wheel off but much more stable compared to the racks in which you keep the front tire on. I’ve brought it through some pretty gnarly terrain and crazy high winds and it didn’t even flinch. It comes off easily with the T-slots when I need to throw my RTT on.

 

It’s has the recall and it’s got 2 bolts with cotter pins now. Thanks for the heads up tho!

 

Yep

 

Added the Baja Designs S2 pods directly into brackets of the bedrack, gives it a clean install!

What did you use to black the emblem out?

 

Installed Rokblokz mud flaps today. Not as easy as expected based on their video instructions. Two of the holes inside the wheel well that were supposed to take their screws were actually plastic snaps instead. I muddled through by using some bolts/nuts. Not sure why the difference between expected and reality. But I still like them.

 

Well, the mods have started. In the last 2 weeks since I bought it, got bed cover installed with bed rug, and removed rear seats and built a platform for the doggos and tools (see my post above). Last Thursday, got the windows tinted and the Toyota Predator step installed.

Today was starting the change to the Stormtrooper Edition. Got the decals installed, vent visors installed, even got a fire extinguisher and propane tank mount put into the bed. Then ceramic waxed the whole thing. What a PITA that was (now I know why they charge $100s to do that). Still a work in progress for a while.

 

Looking good!

 

Paid off mod! Drive it until wheels fall off or upgrade hmmmm!

 

You forgot the “pay it forward, and pay off SilveradoSwaps truck” option, lol

 

haha! Start the go fund me, I’ll be the first donor! Haha.

 

Haha, thats hilarious, congrats on the payoff. Its a good looking truck as well.

 

Swapped out my steering wheel and shifter for TRD Pro version. Also added heated steering wheel switch. Definitely makes a SR5 feel much more premium.

 

All you need now is the RED TRD start button to finish the ensemble

 

Oh yeah, I already did that a while ago lol. Lots of mods I've done that I just never noted or posted about here. This is just what was done today. I'd need to start a build thread to go through everything else. I'm basically running a SR5 PRO.

 

How was the steering wheel swap? I have a
SR5 with the heated steering wheel already but would like the TRD Pro.

 

Looks really good.

 

Joined the Michelin “Old Man”faithful. Changed my Falken Wildpeak TRD Pro take offs for a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 285/65 R18 SL on the BBS 18” wheels.

These are the same diameter, 32.6”, and weight, 38lbs, as the stock Yokohama Geolandar X-CV that came on my Limited.

Much improved SMOOTH and QUIET ride. Yes, it’s not as aggressive looking, but I don’t care since I am after great highway ride/handling.

 

Changed a few settings with the Carista:

• Windows and sunroof open with Unlock hold on the fob
• Lane change blinks from 3 to 5
• Decreased volume of parking sensor beeps and turn signals
• Ensured ANC (active noise cancellation) was "ON"
• Disabled ESE (fake engine noise)
• Disabled seatbelt warnings/dings in front
• A/C temp dial calibration -2C

 

You got the trd pro fox shocks to or kings?
