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

I already have the grill. I see their marker lights, but can't find their light bar; and, certainly can't find a package deal with the two.

 

Ohhhh gotcha. Yea the bar they have is pretty good I’ll honestly probably just leave it. And look for a high output set of pod lights

 

Ooooor, you can sell that one to me to put toward something better. I have two young kids, so my days of romping through a dark forest have been limited (those damn limiteds). I just don't want to drive around with a hole in my grill.

 

Did some maintenance. 31k miles.

Oil change and rotate tires. Every 5k.

OEM Wiper refill, 2x OEM engine air filter, cabin air filter to Lexus LS500 Charcoal filter.


Front diff fluid change to Amsoil. OEM honestly still good. Still gold. Probably going to do 60k interval.





Rear diff change to Amsoil too. Decent amount of metal and glitter in fluid. Definitely doing 30k intervals.




Transfer case oil looked good too. Probably stick to the 60k miles interval too. Came out still red. Forgot to take more pics. Was running out of time. Had to remove RCI skid plate.

 

Should do the transmission too.

 

Not required till 60k miles for severe duty. Was considering doing it to flush out the factory debris but when I looked up the procedure it had some extra steps that I didn’t want to bother doing yet. Using Techstream to air bleed pump, perform Active Test, and reset ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate.

 

drain pain, refill...pump out 1-3qts at a time via trans cooler line and refill. Repeat pump n dump until youre happy with fluid color. No need for anything else.

 

That’s what I do for customer cars. But my personal vehicles I follow the book to the T. Torque everything to spec, replace every crush washer.

 

Did you do the OEM grill or the rave grill? I am looking at the rave grill, market lights, and light bar. Costs $515.

 

I did the whole rave package. honestly it was cheaper when I purchased.

 

So it not a simple drain and fill, lol.

 

Glad we don’t care about customers cars. If I had that mentality on air planes it wouldn’t be pretty.

 

I cant help but comment on this. You're saying you do as you please in regards to customers vehicles, but when it comes to your own you “follow the rules”. Doesn’t seem quite right…

 

Welcome to the new service industry standards. Higher costs, lower quality.

 

Nothing new about it unfortunately.

 

I've got a light bar id be willing to sell you if you were looking for a deal. I may also have some marker lights, not sure though...id need to check. if you're interested shoot me a message and I can tell you about it and send some pictures. good luck!

 

Ordered these today because why not.

 

How are they an "upgrade"?

 

Guess we’ll find out. Possibly getting a little more turbo noise. I already have AFE ProDrys and carbon filters removed.

 

Meso dome and map lights....plus little heat shrink in the volume knob because I noticed some cracks

 

Picked my truck up yesterday after seat was re-covered, and fob programmed. i noticed that the valet person disconnected the camera for majority of the drive to and from the upholstery shop. Seems a bit messed up if you ask me, didnt know they are also techs. Not to mention having the volume blasted all the way up during the drive. A tad bit annoyed to say the least.

 

seat ok?

 

Yeah, that shop did a good job

 

I'd be pissed too. This is why I hate taking it to anyone. It will will come back in worse shape every damn time

 

my dealer will disconnect my dashcams too. As long as the work gets done right, i dont care.

 

Good call on the heat shrink. After mine broke I just put some JB weld around it to make it strong. No issue after that lol.

 

If the person is not a tech, or if the component has zero to do with the repair, they should leave their hands off.

 

ok..ok.. you can have pics. But They don't do it justice, and I'm not a photographer. The fender flairs are only 1". That's what I wanted.

 

Do those flares just mount to the underside like a strip? Cant say I ever seen ones like that.

 

Yes. The top side of the strip has a sticky surface. To expose it, you must peel away a protective cover strip. Clean the inside of the existing fender flairs. Although, it has been my experience, that there is not enough "stick" to that after-market flair extension. It has maybe 10 pounds of strength. So I add Gorilla 2-sided 60-pound tape. Problem solved. Also, this fender flair extension is quite soft material. I got it knowing it was temporary. But I want the extra protection for the paint.
