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

I heard beat sonic only affects front channels, doesnt seem worth the $$

 

It is.

 

• 1.75" Rough Country front spacer level
• Method 316 17" +25mm wheels
• 35/11.50/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Full turn barely kissed the liner carpet. Folded and creased with my hand, 10 second fix no rubbing. I didn't flex but looks to have plenty of clearance everywhere.

 

Installed the AJT Design radio and mode selector knobs.

 

Installed the Meso Customs map and dome lights.

 

How was it fishing the spoiler lights through the tailgate to the taillights?

 

As I was installing the recovery hooks, I probably should have used some kind of Loc-Tite? In retrospect it’s bothering me that I did not. Might disassemble and install next weekend if anyone thinks it wise. Or tell me I’m crazy and it’s fine.

 

Test drove a '23 Plat with 13k on the clock. Really like the truck and the deal is good, but can't really justify to the wife spending $20k from my paid off '18 Plat on the benefit.

 

Well then. You should probably buy a ‘24 or ‘25 and spend $35k.

‘But honey, it’s new. The old is almost 7 years old and fully depreciated. The accountant said so.’

You are welcome!

Oh, back on topic. I did first oil change at 3750 miles. Then washed her.

 

Blew off all ashes from the Line Fire here in SoCal.

 

Man, you guys just can't get a break from all the weird weather and natural disasters happening in your area. Mother Earth is telling us something.

 

yeah...fires, had an earthquake right when the fire started, then a little storm hit which caused other fires too...all in the same weekend. I had to evacuate...fire started 1/4 mile from us.

 

That is scary stuff. I wish you all the best.

 

Got my knobs for AJT. They are really nice, glad I purchased them.

 

Banks Pedal Monster with iDash

 

Just some small stuff.

APS running boards from Amazon. $209. 6 inches wide. Basic, but solidly built aluminum.

Gator SRX soft roll up tonneau from Realtruck. $239. Got here in two days from click to order to arrival. Low profile, easy install. Not sure about how water resistant it is. It looks good and will keep my bed from getting filled with leaves and snow and other things.

No name mud flaps from Amazon. $25. They sit pretty low. Combined with running boards, sides of truck won't be caked with dirt mud snow as much.

Meso customs rear light. Huge improvement over stock. Stock unit has 4 LED's. This one has 40. Iphone photo overplays it a tiny bit, but not much. This thing is bright. I have the map light units, but haven't put them in yet.

 

Also got this trim piece. Covers up that nasty piano black crap. It looks like it came from the factory. Really good match.

 

That looks nice, who sells it?

 

Bought it 2 days. Slapped on BFG KO2 37's with Lock Off Road wheels today. Truck looks tits. Now to resolve the rubbing issues.

 

Another AJT change with red screws, looks OEM and much better quality.

 

Trd lift? Wheel offset? Are you rubbing on swaybar?

 

TRD lift. 0 offset. No rubbing on sway bar, at least not on the road haha.

 

On my way to work today, about 1/2 a mile to destination and got dash notification to check tire pressure immediately. Fortunately there was a gas station close so whipped in, jumped out of truck and I immediately heard the hissing sound of air leaving my driver side back tire. Found a large metal thing sticking out of center tread. No way I was going to make it anywhere before complete flat so woohoo changing a tire at 5:45am CT (in the dark). Let me tell you, I had never experienced spare tire swap on a Tundra before so I learned alot in a short time. Finally got spare on and made it to work. Later, I went to Discount Tire down the road and they said it was a wheel weight stuck in the tire and was not repairable. To make matters they didn't have a suitable replacement(stock Bridgestone Dueler H/T) and would have to order one. I barely have 10K miles on these and it hasn't even been a year since I bought the truck but I was already looking at upgrading to some new AT tires anyway soooo

TLDR - Today I got 4 new Cooper Discoverer ATP II - Pics coming soon.

PS I am glad I had watched YouTube videos on the subject before it happened.

 

You will be happier the stock tires are really 3/4 tires ordered by Toyota for epa estimates. I ditched my neutered at3w at 5k and bought real at4ws.

 

I sure hope so. I wasn't quite ready to pick new tires because I wanted to drop down to 18" or 17" wheels(which I hadn't settled on yet) but life interfered and forced my decision.

 

now go get your free alignment from the dealer

 

Yeah the ‘new’ AT3W on my TRD Pro take offs are pretty lame tires tbh

 

Got the Rave Off-Road lightbar bracket and TRD lightbar installed. My kids were acting up so I wasn’t able to get it wired in. I’ll have to finish it while they’re at school haha.

 

That red is hot fire
