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

BAM is very popular in the TacomeWorls forum.

Doing some “window” shopping.
Will these fit my third gen? I’ve done tons of rear h on offset and bore. I think I’m good, but want that extra reassurance.

Adding the wheels specs as the picture on the website is for display purposes only.

You’ll need six bolt holes

 

That’s just the picture.

Here are the wheel specs under the picture:

I tried the wheel and tire thread, but that’s not very active right now. I’m just looking for some concrete confirmation that I can fit 285/75/R18 Toyo AT3s without any clearance or rubbing issues. My wheels are +18 offset and 9 inches wide. I have a 1 inch front level and my truck is a SR5 4WD. I’ve gone through the first 100 pages of that thread and I can’t find anything confirming fitment. Lots of people have these specs, but usually with 1.75 inch front level. Thanks for any help.

 

Put on my sweet new center caps today.

 

High quality thread, but tough to plow through for sure. Call your local Discount Tire Direct.., they confirmed largest fitment for me staying all stock... Free to do and can't hurt to make the phone call.

 

When I search the bam site under my truck and under TRD pro I can't find the grill. You have a link?

 

Pic shows regular grille, but description says TRD Pro. Also, if you google the part number or search this thread you can confirm it’s for the pro grille. Just in case it worries you like it did me at first.

Thanks. When I search based on the vehicle it just says no items found, doesn't even show a picture of a different one lol. This link does not work BTW lol.

 

google “BAM wholesale parts 53101-0c220”

should pop-up

 

Got it, thanks. Any clue if you can get the lights and camera relocation bracket as well?

 

Just picked up Tuesday. Trying to figure out where I want to start on it.

 

You likely can. You can anything on that website. It’s not something I’ve looked into for myself.

 

Got it some moofer box

 

It's perfect, nothing else needed! LOL

Joking aside, I would start with a Tonneau cover. I love being able to leave tools and stuff in my bed and not being robbed. My old truck had an open bed with a large toolbox (chained in place) but I had to deal with createans trying to rip it off.

The Audio: The Beatsonic amp is a great first step and very easy to install yourself. I also replaced my dash corner speakers and honestly I think I'm done with audio upgrades. It sounds pretty sweet. It's not a "rock your entire neighborhood" type of system but I'm a grown up now. ;-)

Bigger tires: I'm likely going to increase the 33" factory tires with 34" AT tires eventually. I'm not looking forward to the MPG hit but I feel like 4WD is a waste when you're on factory street tires.

 

What is a Beatsonic and what speakers did you get? Are they drop in replacements? I have the non JBL layout. I don't care about big sound but more clarity would be nice.

 

Threw on the NYTOP axle dump tip. Just wanted to clean up the look and not have that bulky chrome tip

 

Put some new shoes on- Falken Wildpeak AT4's 295/60/20

 

Google is your friend! If you scrool back in this thread you'll see my previous post about speaker upgrade: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...gen-tundra-today.104778/page-255#post-3750781

 

Change sound much?

 

hardly. maybe just the tiniest bit louder only because it dumps underneath the truck now instead of out the back but I dont really notice a difference

 

I have a similar size of the same tire on my truck. I had 295/60R20 Toyo AT3's on the Tundra and now 295/70/R18 AT4's on the HD. In the first few hundred kms, they are nice and quiet.

 

Good to hear!

 

Changed oil, rotated tires, and put some power stop rotors n pads on the front bc I didn’t want to wait for tsb parts to come in. Only one stop at O’Reillys for some caliper spreaders!

 

Nice! What did the pads and rotors set you back if you don't mind sharing? (Hope you didn't forget any caliper bungee cords.)

 

Can you post a picture? Do you have a lift?

 

I did forget them on that side but remembered once I went over to the other side lol. I got the power stop set K8932-36 on Amazon for $270ish bc they were on sale. Looks like they still are on sale. I had good luck with the same set on my grand Cherokee before this truck so I figured I’d give em a shot. If I did it again, I’d probably do Napa rotors for like $100 (that’s what they were for ultra premium rear rotors) and power stop z36 pads for like $80. Im hoping that the drilled n slotted rotors will dissipate heat better than stock since my oem rotors warped a decent amount in only 50k miles, but this truck was a rental previously. OEM pads were somehow at 7.5mm but I figured they’d be toast after being paired with warped rotors for so long. I’ll post an update sometime next year when I’m at like 70k miles.

 

Falken AT4W’s on the blue one has a 2” factory lift

Toyo AT3’s on the black one with a 1.75” levelling kit.

-34” outside diameter for both!

 

More sidewall for the win! I’m not bias

 

Took it to Cotopaxi Co for Thanksgiving.

Got to one section of the trail all snowed in with little to no chance of making it in my own but the rest of it was maybe 6” and had zero trouble. Fun trip overall.
