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

This is awesome that you’ve gotten a lot of STL files. I’ve been looking at trying to recreate the top center dash tray piece that has the cigarette lighter outlet. Do you happen to have a file on that one?

 

Nothing major...

Blackout of door handles.

I KNOW, TRUCK IS A HOT MESS. Was Minus a Bazzillion here the other day.

 

are you looking for a "cover for it" or the actual stl of the tray itself ?

I have a 2023 SR5 Tundra , so if its the same, then I can covert it this afternoon. I went alittle crazy on scanning everything I could when I took my dash apart to put some simple mods on/in.
I started to create some custom items and listed them for sell, but I also like to share the files with the group.

Had 1 person already take a file and try selling it.. (which sucks) but ohh well...

 

I was wanting to get the tray itself. I'm trying to make mine into a wireless charger for my phone up in that area. I tried scanning it with an app on my phone and drawing from it in SolidWorks but didn't turn out like I wanted. That piece is surprisingly more difficult to model than I thought. I'm not looking to sell it, just wanted something to go by so I can draw something up and 3D print my own custom tray there that would have my integrated wireless charger for my phone. The trays should be the same for all of our third gens. Any help would be great!

 

This might be irrelevant if you popped that tray out to scan it / already thought of this but: What you could do is pop the tray out, mark and drill some holes for an adapter plate and then print whatever customizations you want to do and mount it to that plate. I wouldn’t drill into that tray while it’s mounted to the dash bc there is some wiring / the head unit behind it. Double sticky tape sticks really well to those plastic trim pieces, so that honestly might work too. Love the idea of a plug n play tray replacement but designing the drafts / mounting locations to the rest of the dash seems like a pain.

 

That's a good idea. I have popped it out a couple times to check what's below and you're right - definitely don't want to drill into it while it's mounted. I started up trying to recreate the drafts and all but you're right it's been a pain so far. I'm still making tweaks and printing examples for myself. At some point, I think I'll get it then can hopefully share that with others here. I've already purchased a wireless charger body that would go with my setup as well as a way to plug it into the connector that the cigarette lighter plug was connected to so that there is not splicing into factory wires. Just need to get the tray piece correct!

 

@TundraWA2017 dude, you're profile pic and caption under your name is amazing. Love that movie.

 

How long was your wait on the Blaze gear? I have their Garmin mount, rear bed power, ditch light harness and SDHQ terminals on order. Going on week 9 of 6-8 week wait. I know they are slammed and not complaining, just curious.

 

That sounds like a long weekend of installing. You are gonna hate having that compressor inside your cab they are so loud. I hated listening to mine in the engine bay of my tacoma.

 

Installed VLEDS LPX License Plate Light bar with Frame. Install was 15-20 mins. Thanks to this thread! I would have never known it existed.

 

same. Installed mine 2 weeks ago. I like it

 

You guys have pictures? Have you towed yet? Curious to see if it messes with any of the tow systems.

 

no pictures. Haven’t towed with it. But it’s exactly like the photos in the website. The $170 one comes with a 7 pins connector that you “piggyback” to the oem trailer connector. Shouldn’t mess with the system

 

I bought my '23 Tundra used and the recall showed up in the app right away. Dealer provided the second fob no problem... only catch is it does not include the shank! Apparently, the original buyer should have had two shanks one one fob, so the recall only provides the second fob. New (second) shank costs around $60.

 

Check in your owners manual sleave. The dealership put mine in there since I only got one key fob when I bought my Tundra last year. Found it when I got my second key and programmed last week. Was wondering why I didn't get the actual key with the fob. And dug through the glove box. And it was in the owners manual book.

 

Swapped out my Retrax retractable bed cover for a Rough Country tri-fold unit. Retractable was very nice but it was taking up much needed bed space. This should do the trick until I shell out for a topper.

 

well. no need. Pulled the cabin filter, it already has a frame that will hold generic material -

 

Checked there- no luck! Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Pro tailgate spoiler finally arrives and when it does, one end of it is shattered.

So much for the install I was planning for this weekend.

 

I think it took like 6 weeks. Shoot him an email. I know they moved buildings.

 

Just put Bilstein 5100s on the front to level her out. Went with the 4th setting which is 1.8” of lift. Rear is stock. Here’s some before and after pics. Looks pretty level.

 

Looks good. I plan on doing the bilstein 5100s as well, had them on my tacoma for several years and they were everything I needed them to be. How is the ride after? Any plan on lifting the rear for some additional rake?

 

I had @boatzNhoez do the install. The compressor sound isn't that loud. Plus it is just me and a dog so not a big deal.

 

Ride is good. Feels pretty much like stock. I can tell the front is now firmer than the back, but only when going over a speed bump. Going to keep it this way for a while, but you never know. Might do something in the rear at some point.

 

Have the same, would recommend without hesitation.

 

Are you currently running the Dobinsons IMS? If so, how do you like it?

 

I installed my Bulletpoint mounting system the other day and I love it.

So far it's front windows tinted, Rokblokz mud guards and the Bulletpoint. That's 3 mods in 6 months. At this rate I should start a build thread!

 

Explored some of the trails just north of Payson, Az.

 

Could you please point me where to get the button and the harness?

 

x6 here. Punishment on the wallet from both forums. I kept my 2011 Taco
