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

Relocated my cameras due to the bed rack and the shelf I built for my tables. So worth it to have my Digital Rear View and Bed View cams back in action


How To Relocate Your Digital Rear View and Bed View Cameras, on 3rd Gen Tundra

I did mine yesterday and the most time consuming part was cutting the screen to fit just the way I wanted. Removing the grill maybe took 10 minutes. I used the existing mounts for the scoops to hold the screen in place.

 

I added running boards today at the request of my 5'-3" wife. LOL
I like them but I'm just a little concerned with the tiny tack welds.

 

Added rock lights via diode dynamics bed light kit to have approach lights. In this picture they’re on low mode. Now they’re on high.

added some big bangers hxb’s. Just need to wire them up.

 

10 inch behind seat night and day difference highly recommended

 

Full-size 37” bed mounted spare set-up. I like chase racks but wanted something that would lay flat so I could keep it covered under a tonneau cover. This set-up seems popular with Raptors and I found a shop that would make one to the Tundra dimensions.

The main piece is a horizontal Badland jack mount from JDS Customs. This piece is the exact width of the forward bed mounting bolts and utilizes those to bolt the mount to the bed floor. This mount has a D ring mounted in the center for the tire tie down strap. The mount is designed for a Grove Fabworks Badland jack cradle. Additionally from JDS Customs are two separate bed bolt mounted D rings, placed under the middle two factory bed bolts.

The second piece of the set-up is a Badland jack carriage from Grove Fabworks. Like I previously said, this bolt directly to the JDS Customs mount.

The last piece of the set-up is the Y style tie down strap from Alpine Offroad.

The whole set—up is completely bolt on, no additional holes needed to be drilled.

 

The approach rock lights look great and are exactly what I was planing on doing to my truck. Did you also do the 4 extra pods, extensions and splitters with the magnetic mounts?

 

Full camo kit on my Limited, Heritage grille, front and rear marker as well as flare marker. Still waiting for my Baja Designs so the bumper is gonna come out again. Also the most difficult mod of all the Meso Lights, I couldn't take that main harness out no matter what, ended up tapping into the wires and had to do everything with it hanging by the harness

 

Looks good! I still need to do the spoiler.

wires my big bangers today.

 

You have some serious lights going on there!

Are those Fogs DD's in white?

 

Yessir.

ss18 white grill bar and ss18 bumper bar as well.

 

I have a S18 in the grille white driving configuration, I still have to aim it and damn thing is bright.

Looking forward to getting my S6 amber fogs in, but I need to pull the front and deal with the painting of the silver stache black.

What lights did you pick for the rock lights? Are they switchable from inside?

 

You can do the fogs without pulling the front end off.

They are DD rock lights. I used the bed kit, so controlled by the bed light switch. They way they turn on when unlocked or a door is open. I didn’t want them to be on when driving around, more as ahh approach light. But again I could turn them on with the bed lights if I changed my mind.

 

I didn't know that about the fog lights? I thought there were some screws buried in there. Is it just a matter of releasing the clips for that section? It would be much easier to aim them as well if the grille stays installed.

Just remove the fog surround and you can access the screws and wiring. Easy peasy.

 

Very much different. I used a diode dynamic bed kit. Not tapping into wires. Plug and play.

 

Well that's good to know. Their install video shows them removing the entire grill

 

OK, I tapped the wires in the cab. Plug-in-play is the way to go.

 

Thanks for the tip @Ipaddick I popped the surround off the fog lights and put the DD S6 ambers in. Took very little time and now they are in and adjusted. Should be great when we get some crappy weather.

 

New shoes, decided to go with Defender LTX Platinum since I drive 99% of the time city/highway not offroading 275/65/R20

 

Got trd pro hood scoops. Still debating if I like them

 

Seems all these trucks need something on the hood to break up the lines. I dig it, but I know folks will call you a PROser. Rave sells inserts to replace "pro" with your trim or whatever else you'd like. If you decide you don't like them, hit me up. I'll give them a shot without shame.

 

Honestly I'm ok with trd pro badge, it's looks better than rave stuff. I know that my truck is not trd pro model but I did not want hybrid anyway and just trying to make truck to look good to me ( not to mimic trd pro ). I don't like black mirrors on trd pro and black accents/spoiler on tailgate either.
But I do like trd pro scoops, my wife says it looks bad "a" and that's all I care about lol

 

Boxed up this piece of crap and got it ready to ship back out

 

Looks good! Thinking about this myself on my limited after I do the level kit & tires, gotta wait & see how it all looks.

 

Installed EGR flares over the weekend. Spidertrax 1" hubcentric spacers will go on today and have 295/60 BFG KO3's going on next week! Worried about the added weight with 10 ply, but oh well. Now I'm cool.

 

Had the dealer change the oil at 1000 miles.

 

Please let us know what you think of those headlights. They look sharp!

 

They are a must have, if you do not have the premium headlights.
The output is so much better than before. I got them with the amber I think it looks perfect on white.
