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

There are certain times when the sun hits the hood on the area that tilts toward the windshield and its brutal. I’ve wondered if adding a matte type wrap there would help that?

 

I had my hood matted out with a topo map pattern on my my Tacoma when I had it. It made a world of difference, plus I thought it looked cool.

 

Definitely do your platinum mustache with clear. It chips a little. Wish I did.

 

Dropped it off for it's new engine. Advisor said i shoukd have it back by Saturday.


Idk how you sr5 guys do it. These things are so crude. Cab shakes like crazy and the tiny screen is pretty much useless, need tweezers to use the volume knob.

 

First world problems

 

I had never ridden in a yota with the 14” screen until my mom bought a new ‘24 limited sequoia. Getting back in my ‘22 sr5 with the small screen made me immediately look up how easy/expensive it’d be to swap lol. Build quality definitely improved over 2 years, but I still love my truck

 

Was your current engine running fine? Do you know the build date on your truck? How did they let you know your engine was in, via the app or did they call?

 

How you like them?

 

Truck ran fine. I posted all my oil analysis reports in our report thread. 11/21 build date. I have a really good relationship with my service advisor and she let me know she had ordered my engine about 2 months ago...then that it was in but I was like 10 of 15. Then today she called and asked if I could drop it off by end of day so they could start working on it tomorrow.

 

Good things are coming your way Eddie,and from what I have been reading here you will feel a difference in engine response,even if you didn't have problems before hand.
All the best,cheers

 

We stare at the road, not the screen.

 

Cab shake? I can't imagine that being normal across all SR5's. How many miles on your loaner? More likely, a typical loaner/rental that's been rode hard/put away wet and/or beaten like a red-headed step-child.

 

Noticed my fender light was out. So fixed that.

 

Should have removed the cones. Someone photo shop!

 

Doubt it's been abused. It's a 2024 with 2,200 miles. Maybe it's the lack of hydraulic cab mounts, but this thing definitely shakes a lot more compared to my Platinum

 

Fair enough.
Did not know there was a difference in cab mount design between trims.

Do you have a picture of your hood graphics? Truck looks awesome! Have you seen the front vent lights they have now from "Yota Expedition"? Those would look great on your truck.

 

Love the Tomcat in the background. Fellow Naval Aviation sailor?

 

Chief Wraps - are those available pre-cut from a vendor or custom...... I agree 100% on the glare issue and with a light bar pending even moreso.... and Iwould like to do some of the hood center as well - plus the whole tailgate panel.....

That’s what I’m talking about!!

 

No, not precut. I used Knifeless Tape. Place the knifeless tape down first (really easy and not expensive. Look up YouTube videos). Then lay any vinyl over top and squeegee air out from vinyl (again, lookup youtube vids on this). Then use knifeless tape to cut the vinyl to desired shape, then remove knifeless tape pieces and press edges down. If you are located in Washington, I would be happy to install what you want for free. You pay for materials. I have a side business installing vinyl wraps and graphics and PPF.

 

Not as much as a new paint job.

 

Yes adding a matte vinyl will eliminate that glare completely. I did some custom hood graphics for my friends new GMC. His hood was really bad with glare.

 

The Toyota powered running boards are great. Just had mine installed last month.

 

The small amber lights on your front fender flares, did those come stock or did you add them? I have a 2024 Tundra Platinum and they are not there.

 

Those are TRD Pro flares

 

Google Yota Xpedition I ordered mine from them. They work fantastic and look great.

 

I've been wanting to get those, but the my dealership said it will void my engine warranty. Have you been told that?
