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

Did you have to buy the red axles from a dealership for the Westcott TRD lift to work?

 

Finally brought the truck in to get the front windows tinted 20%.

 

Added a 2” Front and rear lift to my 2023 Limited Hybrid Crew with rear load leveling. Now on 34” Nitto Recon Grapplers. Used the Readylift SST 2” lift for the rear, but replaced the shock rather than using shock extensions with an N3 from Rough Country. Added the N3 strut from Rough Country up front. Everything is an even 2” higher and has about 1” of rake. Rides same as factory as far as I can tell. I think it’s a nice proportion for these trucks.

 

I went up to a 35” 12.5 r18. No lift no rub.

kumho at52. Great bang for the buck, and very nice tire. They are underrated. I would compare them to Toyo for sure. Quiet, great in all weather, and $1300 installed. Pics don’t do it justice!

Have a bumper and lights being installed. And she looks bad a$$!! Also have viair compressor bad tank under left rear passenger floor for when I get loaded down. Have an extra bumper $1800! Will meet half way will to travel up to 250 miles from Sioux Falls, SD.

 

Cleaned wheels and tires…after washing otherwise. Goes in for more ppf and some tint corrections Monday.

 

I am putting my new front seat spacer design back on the shelf for a while. Haven't had any luck getting the dimensions I need to complete my prototypes. For now just continue to pay double my planned price for the "jackers" and I will focus on another project.

 

Finally got the rear Icon shocks and coils installed, also got Lassfit bed liner and floor liners installed. Got console tray Leather from MacGregors Leather. Rear springs brought the back up, need to lower the fron 3/8’’ then she will be level.

 

Is your flag going the wrong way or am I trippin? I mean I can understand if you are saying the country is going in the wrong direction.

 

Good catch, I didn’t notice, just put them on, thanks for the catch

 

Welcome!

 

Second oil and filter change today at 5601 miles. (First was a few ticks over 1K)

First one was pre-recall notice, so I wasn't looking at anything too closely.
Dump, change, carry on.
Used gen-yoo-wine Toyo (Exxon Mobil) oil and Toyo filter.
Other than the typical realization that 0W-20 oil has the consistency of water, nothing to report.

This time around I:
1) had the drain stream going through coffee filters before going into the pan
2) cut the oil filter and pulled the filter media completely out, spread out and inspected in between all the pleats
3) pulled a sample for Blackstone
4) refilled with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (and another Toyo filter)

Results from numbers 1 and 2:
Zero visible glitter, absolutely nothing caught in the coffee filters.
A little more to be seen in the filter pleats: you'll have to zoom in
(Knife blade on right pointing to shiny speck)



This was the next "biggest" chunk I could find (allen key pointing)


And finally, micro-mini non-forbidden glitter:


So.... I'm no Lake Speed tribologist, but based on visuals alone, I'd say my engine is healthy.
As far as stuff on the microscopic level, I'll leave that to Blackstone and report in that thread when I have results.

 

mine is due soon for 5k oil change. I plan to inspect this filter as well. Did you pull the sample for blackstone pre coffee filter?

 

Yep.
Coffee filters sitting in the drain container over the drain holes. Held the sample jar right in the oil stream before it got there.

 

I noticed how cheap the floor mats are, at least in the 1794 edition…

6,500 miles and its going to have a hole before it hits 10k, sorry, thats just pathetic.

 

For me… oem floor mats are always the first thing I toss and get some good all weather mats.

 

I see why. The quality of those floor mats is worse than junk. I drive a lot for work, 1.5 to 2hr trips, and i typically kick my shoes off and just have socks on my feet, makes longer trips so much more comfortable.

 

Had Katzkin “OEM Match” leather installed.

Also wrapped some trim pieces in VViViD Stealth Medium black camo vinyl. The shift console and door inserts came precut from a company called The OCD Plug. The rest I wrapped with a roll of the same vinyl. The climate control area and the area around the parking break are actually matte black overlays that I bought off of Amazon and wrapped before installing. The dash center part was removed and wrapped, then reinstalled.

Other interior bits are AJT Designs matte black door handle covers and a matte black steering wheel emblem overlay from a store on Etsy. Also, Husky Liner floor mats with TRD Offroad custom emblems, the emblems also came from a store on Etsy.

I’m really happy with how the interior came out. I wasn’t really a fan of the silver, but I think the black and gray camo pattern ties the black and silver interior together really well.

 

just stumbled upon this last night and was curious. have you noticed any results? especially with having the stock filters in?

 

I did pull the sound bags but haven’t driven the truck since . I’ll ask my guy driving the truck in the morning if he’s noticed anything different . He was out of town when I pulled them so he has no idea lol . I’m curious too !!

 

I don’t understand why they took away the pocket on the passenger side on the limited ? I liked that on the sr5 ‍♂️

 

Tire/wheel swap today

 

Or why there are no pockets by the transmission tunnel. Toyota made some strange design choices.

 

Got the westcott on. Toya at3 295/65-20
The ride is almost the same. I’m happy with it

 

Beat me to it. I also like the humor. I’d have given you a laugh instead of a like if it were possible.

 

This looks nice. I've been really debating on wheels or just bigger tires since my tires are going to need to be replaced within the next six months. I'd love to run 17x9 with a higher et to be more flush with the fenders but can't find anything that's not -10/0/10, or 1200+ per wheel for what I like (rotiform roc-h/bradley v TAKUMI)

Edit: Can you dm/post the exact kit you bought
edit again. This one? https://westcottdesigns.net/product/2022-toyota-tundra-preload-collar-lift-kit-new/

 

I want one of these for my 1348/1500. How did you get it?

nevermind. I found it and ordered one.

 

Installed GoRhino RB 30s

 

That’s the kit. Had to pick mine for the sport that sits lower in the front.

 

Cleaned TRD air filters

 

Thanks again man, I appreciate it! If I can help with anything else just let me know!
