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

Westcott Designs preload collar lift kit, 17” Method 703’s with +35 offset, and 35x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country AT3’s in E load.

 

Yesterday was plus 3 degrees so I took the opportunity to lay on my back on a little piece of plywood. I found that I needed to thread the bolts in equally, that is a little on one bolt then switch to the other. From what I could tell this is needed because the bushing on the sway bar needs to be compressed slightly as you torque the bolts down. After I snugged the bolts down I started at 35 ft lbs and worked up to 55 as I read the horror story of the guy with the sequoia that had the tack welds on the nuts break off.

 

Much appreciated!

 

Installed Rough Country Wheel Liners and Sunsdrew Mud Flaps. WeatherTech Mud Flaps were on back order and I decided to spend 1/3 the price to test these.

Install including “cleaning the areas” took 57 min for all. Only hitch was the outboard bolt on LR wheel liner didn’t perfectly line up. It works, but slightly skewed. And the Phillips head screws (green in picture) on both rear flaps. Not an ideal access point with wheel on.

But all fits as expected, and hopefully will protect the front end of the stock running boards (mud/dirt covered).

$165 total well spent, hopefully.

 

If I ever decide to install hooks, u can bet I am gonna chase the threads first. Too many people struggling with this.

 

my bolts turned out (after broke loose) and tuned in by hand very easily.

 

Installed a Toyota tonneau cover picked up today at the dealer. Really like the look.

 

That is on my list!

 

Can you do me a solid and measure from the center of your hitch to the ground?

 

Will do when I get home from work!

 

A new name for my truck thanks to Mother Nature. Say hello to my Yundra!

 

Everything here is coated in a nice thick layer of ice.

 

Got the tailgate spoiler installed and wired. Now the back has marker lights to match the front. I was going to have it painted to match, but honestly, the black camo pattern looks great with the gray truck so I'm going to leave as-is.

 

Have anyone installed door edge protection and which one would you recommend?

 

Will be doing this hopefully this week. Just waiting for my plug to get in to wire them up.

 

Busy week, a few upgrades this week:
Icon Stage 4
Rough Country Rear Wheel Well Liners
Toyota OEM Door Edge Guards

 

new Rekgen mud flaps. Tires stuck out a bit so needed a little more coverage than the factory mud flaps.

 

Installed oem tow hooks.

 

I took my DiamondbackHD of to get this thing water tight, then caulked the top rails down and put it back on

 

OEM. Its color matched and pretty cheap. Install takes minutes.

 

This!

 

Oem is the way

 

Installed TRD skid plate on tip of my Talon cat plate

 

I actually DROVE my truck today. It's been in garage since before Christmas. Weather was good so I put 100 miles on it. I know, I know...

 

Bulletpoint with low profile radar detector mount

 

What size tires are those? They look great!

(Low post count and he hasn't been around since May...and I was curious myself, so I went looking.)

 

How is this plugged in?

 

There is a cigarette lighter 12 v in that nook. They covered it up nicely with that little metal grill piece, looks sharp.

 

Do you find the radar detector useful at all? Last time I used mine on a long trip it was next to useless. There are now so many cars and trucks that have radar sensors not to mention all the hidden radar units along the interstates every few miles. My detector was constantly going off and I had to shut it off. (Even in City mode while on the highway)

I spent several hours designing a 3D printed bracket to hold my radar detector and was excited to get to use it for the first time only to be disappointed by it's constant false alarms.
