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

Thank you so much for the information. Some more photos, when you get a chance, would be awesome.

 

Yep, same stuff. Mine was 5/8 version #27008, also rated for fuel I believe. I should've just bought 25 ft. off Amazon. Shit was almost $4.50 a foot at the parts store.

 

Cool, I'll take some more detailed pics after I get home tonight. Also, as @eddiefromcali noted, you do want to get PCV/EEV/Fuel or multipurpose hose also rated for PCV. I should've clarified that originally. Stay away from heater only hose. (Gates #27008, which you can get off Amazon) is what I used for this.

 

What did I do ? I picked it up from the Dealership today !! Woohoo , finally after months of waiting

 

Curious how much oil they capture - let us know when you get a few miles. Before install, happen to look down the intake to see if oil coated?

 

I've got a single can from JS...catches some...not a lot

Has anyone pulled the weird baffles or prefilter bs goin on under the air filters ? I installed some TRD filters today and scratched my head on what the purpose of these are ,, school me plz ?

 

yep...you get more turbo noise. That blanket under the mesh is supposed to catch vapors...meh, I removed and havent noticed a diff

 

Man , I’ve feed a lot of turbos but I’ve never tried to smother one lol

 

I glanced in the intake tubes but didn't notice much (I'm only around 2000 miles currently). However, the small U shaped vent hoses I replaced between the engine and intake had a decent amount of oil coating the inside. The cans you can buy that are pre-designed for the 22+ Tundra just use a single can off the PCV in the back of the engine. Not sure how much more or less you get vs. running one off of each intake like I did. I'll probably check it in about 500 miles or so and re-post.

 

A note to those seeking front seat spacers. I am a retired Department of Defense hobbyist with a modern machine shop for my hobbies. I have been making Toyota (rear bracket) and Ford (front and rear bracket) spacers for years longer than any of my competitors. I actually made front bracket spacers in 2018 and canned the idea because they did not work for me. Hindsight bit me on that one. My rear Toyota spacers are $20 cheaper, unique and much safer made, than any others in the market. I am now developing a unique safer front spacer for 2022+ Tundra. These, once developed, will be half the price of the main USA manufacturer. I also only make and sell in the USA. I would not copy something already in the market. That is the Chinese way. They copy and undersell to support the communist party. I am seeking someone to assist me in development and then to beta test the 1st set or 2. The 1st couple of pairs will be shipped with fasteners and instructions for around $25 per pair. Just offering if anyone is interested.

 

Installed my Diamondback HD cover and the Bulletpoint mount with phone charger and radar detector.

Also installed the Beatsonic amp. So so easy. And it made a huge difference. If you’re on the fence on an audio upgrade, do the Beatsonic amp install for $299!!!

 

@VCheng

Here's a few more pics of the can mounting and hose routing on each side. I noticed my hose is actually stamped Gates #4219XL, but #27008 seems to correlate to the same hose. Either way, that would be what to get.

 

I think I ordered the wrong size hose, but let me wait until the cans get here so that I can see if that fits or not. Many thanks for those photos, they will be very useful to me.

 

Please chime in anyone, but aren't the intakes designed to have that little bit of oil go back into the intake ? What is the purpose of an oil catch can if the intake is supposed to have this?

 

Oil in the intake reduces the octane level of the fuel. It will also shorten the cat lifetime if a high zinc oil is used.

 

But if the engine is specifically designed to collect the oil vapors, why take them out?

 

Looks great. I don’t want to alarm you but it looks like someone has vandalized your rear window. Hopefully you can pull video footage from neighbors to catch this criminal.

 

Wrapped the dash center bar or whatever you call it with VViViD Stealth Medium Black Camo vinyl. I have a couple other matching pieces I’ve order that are precut for specific interior spots that I’ll install once it arrives to tie it all together.

 

I received the components to create a proper spare that a seventy thousand dollar vehicle should have come with in the first place: shame on you Toyota!





Next step: install it into the vehicle and readable by the TPMS. That'll have to wait a few days still.

 

Installed a Thinkware U3000 front/rear dashcam.

 

Mount…

 

Which mount, specifically did you use for your radar detector? Is that just a magnet? I have the bulletpoint system as well? Thanks.

 

Made it to 50k

 

Explain the Beatsonic Amp. Is it sound system louder, cleaner, better highs/lows?

 

Part 2:

So I compared the two. The supplied spare has a sticker that says "Temporary Use Only", not something I want to use on a full size truck, ever. My truck just cost me another thousand dollars due to penny pinching by Toyota. Shamefu.l To add insult to injury, the spare tire supplied was not even balanced: no weights on it at all.








To program it, my old version of Techstream did NOT work on this truck. However, to Toyota's credit, they made the process easy from the dash options. I went into Vehicle Settings > TPWS > Relearn and here are the before and after results:

 

The specs state "full size spare" however full size spare only means that it fits and is approximately the same width and diameter. The sad truth is that even the 2024 $45k to $65k Tacoma is also coming with temp spare tires. Through the 2023 models even a basic $25k Tacoma SR had an actual full size spare that was not a temporary spare. I don't think many 4 x 4 Tundra owners will be comfortable off roading with a temp useless spare. This is just part of the Toyota USA pay more get less business model.

 

How do you like the dash cam? Why did you ultimately choose this model? Would you buy it again?

 

Finally wired the trd marker lights. took it to Minute Maid to see the Astros lose and when I got home I smelled coolant. Yay.
off to the dealer again.
