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

Ordered an X2 27F, thanks to @PapaDave418 and his write up. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow and install sometime this week. I had my dual baja designs 20" bars on last night for maybe 20 mins....noticed that started flickering so I shut them off. Truck BARELY cranked over and fired up. Not going to play games with this battery, been a solid 3yrs but I cant trust it if it cant power some lights for 20 mins.

 

It's sad batteries aren't what they once were.

 

Drove 900+ miles overnight, so I could get to this. Truck was a dream to drive, even with the strong north wind killing mpg. Respecting this truck more and more.



250” in the U.P. so far. Love it!

 

35x11.5r18 on Tacoma pro wheels. Stock height. Had to remove the flaps and crash horn to pin the liner back. Still have rubbing in the front I need to square away.

 

I need to find a tacoma guy to trade me. I have the 20" trd offroad wheels, I'd prefer 18s.

 

I hope it goes well! My battery has been solid, even powering my Propex heater all night while camping in Montana. It got down to 16° and even then the truck fired right up

 

I'm going to see if I can fit a 2nd battery under the seat...my previous truck had dual XS D3400 batteries and a 300A alternator. Power was never a concern. This thing is a far cry from an adequate setup for any prolonged use.

 

Iron Mountain by chance?

 

Further north.

 

My buddy let me use the back of his shop so I could finally install my running boards (RB20 Slim).
I know... needs a wash but the snow here has been crazy.




Also put on the OEM Tonneau and a bed step.

 

Installed the NSV dual qi charger today. Very easy install & looks totally factory. Works great as well even with my otterbox phone cover. Took maybe 30 min.

 

Glad to hear it works with an Otterbox cover, both of my phones have them and no wireless charger really works with it. Time for another mod hahaha.

 

I installed amber DRL/amber sequential turn signal vent lights from Yota Xpedition. Great product. The DRL dim when you turn the DRL on. Otherwise they are on all the time with the lights in Auto.

 

Dropped off my truck to get full front ppf, full vehicle ceramic coating, and 5% window tint all around. Wondering if it would be worth it to do full vehicle ppf?

 

Installed some vinyl graphics. Clear paint protection film is next.

 

Yes, PPF is worth it. However, they are going to strip the ceramic coating off to install the PPF properly. Then you should install ceramic coating on top of your PPF. Especially if your truck is not in a garage and exposed to the sun all day every day.

 

No.

 

I think I’m going to just do full front ppf for now. Didn’t realize how much full vehicle ppf costs after the installer told me haha

 

Now that's CLASSY!!!

 

What vinyl is that? I'm planning on doing something very similar with the hood, with the additional of the center filled in with matte black, and extending it onto the roof and rear spoiler. I bought a 25ft roll of VViVID+ Stealth medium pattern camouflage in ghost metal, but I thought it was a little to metallic for the Lunar Rock color.

 

Very nice. Unfortunately, Ballistic Fabrication store is closed. I guess they are out of business.

 

Nice! Here it is: 3M 2080 Shadow Black Textured Vinyl Wrap. I have a wrap business so I was able to buy it from https://metrorestyling.com/

 

You didn't realize "after" the installer quoted you, or "before"?

 

Lol! I had asked how much it would be for full ppf as opposed to just the front and I told them I’m fine with just the front for now haha

 

I'm guessing 3-4 grand. I've heard it cost as much as a new paint job.

 

I had Xpel put on, they pretty much did the whole front 2.5' on the hood,headlights,bumper,lower valance and the front quarter panels for just over 1K.
Toyota has been know for easy front chipping so getting this done was a no brainer.

 

My hood, door cups and a small place on both front fenders was $700.

 

I’ve had mine sitting around since Monday. Just waiting for time to install it. Maybe tomorrow during my lunch break!!

 

For full vehicle ppf, it’s more than that actually. For trucks a lot of times they do a double layer
