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

Ordered both from Ebay, the actual skid plate that mimics the TRD one is on the way, should be here later in the week.

The rough country cat shield/trans plate was from their ebay store as well, free shipping.

Total was about $360 for both i think.

 

I have the same cat shield, been on for about a year and no issues.

 

Not bad just followed the instructions. Note the driver side wire is tan not purple.

 

Added sound deadening material to all four doors thanks to this forum for ideas on application and assembly. Was pretty fun to do honestly and recommended highly if you like to tinker. It’s not hard at all to remove/install door panels. I may do the back wall or floor down the road but honestly already happy with the results.

The doors close with more thud, it’s noticeably more quiet inside, sound from stereo seems sooo much better, driving it feels awesome and tight, and less pesky rattles! Sorry my explanations suck but just trust me and do it.

Recommendations:
- Bought a box 76sq ft. - would have divided the total by 4 so I knew how much could be applied per door. Ended up with about 8 sheets leftover but if I knew would have spread those out and just doubles up or applied to inside door skin.
- front door puddle lights are easier to plug back in if you knock them out of door panel and pull wire through. Light just pops back on.
- the front doors/mirror area covers are a pain to pop off. There are two white clips that you’ll have to get out of the mirror mount area to reinstall the cover (put on cover first) I ended up breaking one of them so be aware. Ordered box of 30 from Amazon.
- take your time. All in all probably took hour per door.

 

Pull out your front seats and use the leftover on the floor. A bit more involved but worth it. I also added Dynapad to mine and it’s so much quieter.

 

Can’t even let the cuts on my hands heal and already getting more ideas lol. Thanks Dudeman.

 

If you do the floor, I wouldn’t recommend the Dynapad. Functionally it works well but it was hard to get everything back together. I had to modify the kick panels slightly to get them to fit. I believe the Dynapad is about 5/8” thick. If I did it again I would use sound skins or the Resonix product.

 

Finally picked up my GFC. Pretty happy with it so far.

 

Do you want to sell the OEM shifter knob? I removed mine incorrectly when installing larger cup holders and the retaining pin popped out.........

 

Do you still have your Leitner? I'm curious if there's been any issue

 

Today I dropped it off at the shop, on the list: TRD axles, ICON upper control arms, ICON coil overs (front), ICON shocks (rear), Dobinson springs (rear), and new wheels and tires. I've been waiting to do this since May of last year when I was originally going to do the TRD 3" lift.

 

what bike rack is that?

 

Installed the Heritage grill.

 

Installed factory color matched side view mirror covers

 

Added a 2 channel dashcam. For now powdered from the front usb port. Going either 12v tap or dome light or even fuse tap for parking mode.
Dash cam is VIOFO 229 plus. Ran the power wire to the right , under the dash, footwell and usb port. The rear camera to the left , A pillar , plastic trim by the doors, up the C pillar and by the rear window weather strip.
Rear support made my a very good neighbor of mine - from here - https://makerworld.com/en/models/830855-toyota-tundra-rear-camera-mount#profileId-775203

 

Truck looks good!

 

Loved the GFC on my Tacoma, can't wait to get one for the Tundra. Congrats & Enjoy!

 

It’s the second generation Recon Rack, before 1up bought them out

 

Thanks! Pretty stoked on it, my 9 year old son likes it even more, tree fort on wheels, haha

 

Working on my bumper install and got my lights today. Strands Lighting Division has some unique DRL’s for the rounds and cubes.

Committed now- old CBI stealth bumper coming out


Test fit


Had to build new fog light mounts in the center for my diodes


Options!


Driving light DRL’s

 

Dropped off the Tundra yesterday for the new engine. They told me it should be done by Saturday.

They gave me the Taco as a loaner. This thing is not built for anybody over 6ft haha.

 

Dropped off my truck to get the engine replaced, as well as getting some other little things looked at, and they gave me a ‘24 4Runner as a loaner. I’ve been a passenger in one before, but never driven one. Wish they gave me a new one so I could drive the new power train. I miss my truck already - this thing is gutless and gets the same mileage as my truck on e-load 35s lol.

 

Awesome neighbor, looks great

 

I was offered a Taco or a Tundra...took the Tundra. Wife wanted me to get the Taco but I've sat in the prior gen and figured it was just as bad....she's 5'1 so it would fit her perfectly. lol

 

decided I didn't like the $129 GST non-optional "option" black tailgate inserts. came off so easily it's like they didn't want to be on there.

 

Ordered and installed some Tuxmat mats for my 1794 Limited Edition. The provided Velcro clips and slide in clips really made for a nice, tight install. The mats that came with the truck are nice because they have the 1794 LE branding on them put they never covered all the carpet and plastic like these do. Very happy with them so far!

 

LE mats looks really cool. Never seen them before.

 

those are some cool looking seat covers. what are they? i'm not going back through 300 pages to see if you posted on them!

 

They are oem for the 1794 limited edition, includes the seat back saddle style bags

 

Thank you. That makes them really expensive seat covers.

Appreciate the info.
