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

They didn't have the XOverland edition when I first started using it...but now that I know they do, I may switch it up. My current setup at the moment is the GetOffRoam system that I modified to utilize a quadlock wireless charging phone mount, but that's one because I love the Quadlock cases

 

I got the Rubigrid from bulletpoint, its pretty slick.

I ordered and installed this Thursday. Pretty robust and the wireless charging works well.

I paired it with a slim unobtrusive case that has a magnet in the specific charging location. When I was looking into wireless charging for the Tundra on this site it seems like one of the major factors in the OEM or OEM style charging pads is the phone can shimmy away from the charging point with road vibration. The MAG mount keeps the phone where it needs to be. I also like that the phone attached to the mount quickly, one handed without fidgeting. If it's even a minor PITA, I know I will just leave the phone in my pocket instead of messing with it.

This is the case I used for my Pixel 8

Rotated the tires at about 8800 miles. The rears seem to be wearing more than the fronts.

Looks good! Really diggin that grill and bumper combo

 

This is my first time hear about Atlantic Built but I'm sold! thanks for the video.

 

Wow sounds great! How noticeable is it in the cab when driving down the road?

 

will let you know. I’m heading to get lunch shortly.

 

Do you still have the OEM tires equipped? If so, mine were the same. I had my tires rotated a couple of months ago. The rear were at 2/32's and front tires were at 8/32's, I'm only at 13k miles, give or take.

My Tacoma was the same way with the OEM tires. I’d say it’s just my driving, but when I switched tires on my previous truck, I put 50k miles on them, and they wore evenly the entire time. They were at 10/32's when I traded it in.

 

Yes, I am still on the OEM tires, and frankly I am not impressed with them. I will probably go to a different brand and perhaps upsize a little for the next set, whever it might happen to be. I do have a matching spare that I included in the rotation, so the total life of the OEM set might be a little longer than I would like.

Edit:

Tread depth at 8,800 miles OEM tires:

New: 8 mm.
Rears: 6 mm. Projected life without rotation: 26,500 miles approx.
Fronts: 7 mm. Projected life: without rotation: 56,000 miles approx.

 

how was the drive to lunch? lol

Initial driving impression.
nailed the 1/4 wave. Shocked at how quiet it is at light throttle cruising.

But man, when you step on it the thing comes alive.

Getting serious GTR vibes out the back.

 

Installed MillerCat v2 stainless cat shields.

 

those looks good!

 

Theft or rock protection!? Looks burly!

 

Little of both! They are precision-machined and fit perfectly. Stainless everything including backer nuts and hardware. Very pleased.

 

These seem very reasonable for stainless… I think they are going on the list. Do they just bolt up to existing threaded holes on the truck? On my 2008 I had to install rivnuts.

 

Yes, existing threaded holes and backer nuts are used. No rivnuts. Less than 30 min install.

 

If you don’t mind, please; what was your decision to go with the stainless steel over the aluminum? Knowing the higher cost, was there a decision to go that way?

Thanks,

Cheers.

 

Harder to cut and will always look nice.

 

Looks great! Should definitely hold up to trail abuse and tweakers!

 

That bumper is awesome - I need something like this for our 1000’s of deer out here…..LOL

Couple questions, tell us about the install, how long did it take and level of difficultly? Look like you have a lift but does this bumper require any modification to the front suspension due to weight, I think it is around 250lbs right?

Thanks

 

Do you tow at all? Interested in how bad it drones while towing

 

It has taken longer than I expected. Ironman’s instructions are a video and it is lacking to be sure. They don’t really tell you which hardware and such for each step along the way. I had a CBI stealth bumper that I had to take off and that ended up being a chore with a couple bolts, then my winch that fit with that bumper does not with the new one; the winch head is too big. So I had to relocate the head but given the shape of it, it’s still kinda huge. So I used a project box and moved the electronics into it and mounted above the side intakes as pictured. Then I made fog light mounts in the center as the fogs are too wide for the side wings which was my original plan. Then waited for my Strands cubes to come in. I’ve been working a lot this week and weekend, so all this got stretched over a couple days and I should finish soon. But I would say 8 hours or so. It lowered the front by about .05-0.75 inches or so, and no you don’t need a lift.

But the bull bars are huge which to me gives it a great look and protection for the trail or road. Deer are stupid.


Winch head relocation and re-boxing


Winch head hard mount and access perspective with the grille on and hood open

 

Thanks you the answers, gotta think about this.

 

What winch are you using ? I'm down to the Ironman or the ARB......I know on the 200 my winch install was a lot longer then the shop expected....but the result was worth it, and it held up really well over time.

I have the Harbor freight badlands 12k winch which has been great. I’ve used it a bunch. It comes with a master battery switch and relocation kit which is great, it’s just the shape of the head that proved to be challenging.

I like ARB’s new tundra bumper but it was $2495 w/o the option of a bull bar or grille protection, that’s what I need.

 

Installed new mud flaps from Amazon on my new 1794.
Wider than factory by about 2” (I have a spare set of rears from my old truck) they look good, drivers rear seems just a little misaligned, but all others look great. May just need a little adjustment on the one.

I added a garmin cam today.
