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

Got the windshield tinted with SolarFX FX Plus 65% ceramic. It has a slightly blue hue on the roll but it turned out fine.





And apparently it’s raining because all it does is rain now.

 

Good thing you didn’t hear the JBL Premium Audio in the 2.5 gens…. I could turn the volume all the way up, roll the windows down, and still have a conversation.

 

My Silverado had a pretty damn good system in it. Was a Bose and I added some Rockford Fosgate gear to it

 

Yup. I have the Talon and the first time I changed the oil after installing the skid, I thought it would just drip down the hole cut-out… I was wrong. So wrong.

 

Just get a Fumoto valve or similar and some tubing and you'll be fine.

 

Yea, that’s what I plan to do during my next oil change haha

 

I have a powered sub getting added next week. Hoping this will round out the sound enough.

 

Added banks pedal monster and set at track maximum, truck took my soul away, had to change it to city lol

 

35x12.5/18 Nitto Recon Grapplers on stock suspension. No rub whatsoever.

 

Last of the chrome!

 

Looks beautiful. Food for thought you may have had an easier time with some heat applied and using some flouro fishing line makes them come pretty much all the way off with minor residue left on paint. Even could use a hair dryer. Just a little bit of heat goes a long way

 

I used some fishing line but the sun was setting so it definitely wasn't as hot as I had planned, heat gun would have helped though.

 

Right on. Yea I had learned that the hard way on an old project so I gotta use the heat no matter what now. I had mine slide off like butter. Only spot that I got residue for me was part of my limited badge. Everything else came off all together thankfully. Put my tundra badge on my yeti tundra cooler now it’s almost like adding spinners to it lol

 

Going to combine Saturday and Sundays activities in one thread.

On Saturday I had to remove the front bumper clip to adjust my Diode Dynamics light bar so while I was in there I vacuumed out the bugs from the intercoolers and added some metal screen over them to add a little protection.

Nothing fancy, I just cut them to size and gorilla taped them on pretty taunt.



Today I washed the truck and detailed the rims with a graphene coating and a mat ceramic coating for the tires.

 

Where did you get those tailgate letters? They look incredible and exactly like what I want for mine.

 

What subs are you putting in? What sound processor are you going to use? I'm curious because planning on adding 2 10" subs myself but exploring the different options for setup

 

You dont necessarily need a sound processor to add subs/amp. Get a good amp that has gains, low pass filter, and other settings and you should be good, done this a few times.
Also would recommend tuning with an oscilloscope to make sure you can get the most out of it without clipping. I purchased one and it made a world of difference in getting it right.

 

Did you have any trouble with the sub working with the active noise cancellation feature on the JBL? In my last truck (GMC Sierra) I had the turn off the active noise cancellation to prevent the bigger sub from causing a feedback loop. I've not been able to get a straight answer about this for the JBL system on the Tundra

 

I have not done this yet on my Tundra. Since I did do it to my Silverado, ANC will cause problems. On my sons Infiniti we didn't need it when we added RCA low level inputs on the line-in side of the Bose Amp, it didnt have ANC.

 

Added WeatherTech window deflectors front and rear. Love the look and now no water dripping on my door from dew or rain when I crack the windows in the morning.

 

Finally got around to installing the grill mesh for the turbo inter-coolers that I bought a while back. I used a roll of black rigid metal grill mesh off Amazon with small diamond shaped holes. I measured and cut around the radiators with notches for the ducting bolt holes. Gave the cut edges a quick zap with black spray paint and then re-assembled everything. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and it also makes the radiators less noticeable.

 

That looks great. Is your mesh touching the cooler?
I have mesh on order. I was thinking of using the bolt to the right in your second picture. That would lift it off the cooler by an inch or so.
I had three acorns and a bunch of bugs in there. :-/

 

Thank you. It touches the sides around where the mounting bolts go. The cooling fins are slightly recessed in proportion to the sides, so when mounting the mesh directly on the radiator, it left maybe 1/4 inch or so between the mesh and cooling fins. I had a bunch of bugs as well. The mesh is really heavy duty so hopefully it helps.

 

Received our first bill and didn’t like the interest charged after 10 days of purchase (even though it was reasonable), so we decided to pay it off!

 

I put a genuine Toyota bed step on my truck this past weekend that I bought for $260. Easy install. My son was pissed because his came with one for the factory that they charged $400+ dollars for on his window sticker.

 

His came with the install fee, $140+ to install sounds fair…

 

good to know! Need to rid out my stock Falkens asap.... Nice rig by the way. I have the same rig and color. TRD Pro baby!!

 

Why did you get a loan? I took Toyota’s 1.99% loan and put the money in a 5% CD.

 

I bought used at 4%. Debated on getting the loan or not. I’m a big Dave Ramsey guy so it was hard for me to go back into “debt”. Haven’t had it one month and we decided to take the money out of a money market account we have.

 

Got a MGM water bottle to match the truck.
