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

Installed the 1/2 of the Westcott pullback kit (couldn’t bring myself to cut the frame). Solved the front tire rubbing issue with 295 65R20 tires.

Thanks. $100 extra is a small price to pay for security and longevity.

Cheers.

 

Thinking of ordering this bumper before my truck arrives next week. What do you think?

Installed Rago bed stiffeners. Recently put on a Leer 100XR shell and these are cheap insurance for the composite bed.

 

I got them off Amazon.

 

I think it gave me the installation effect

 

Installed the Bak X4S.

 

Made a nice board to fit in factory bed slots. Had some extra stain, so I worked on it off & on all weekend to stain & clear it (I was bored), then added some rubber strips on the side to help keep it from moving. (Don't need floppy wood) so here it is.

 

Alu-Cab Contour canopy was installed today:

 

Did a manual wash this weekend and found this on the driver side roof. It's not dirt but looks like some sort of separation. Taking it to dealer this week and let them diagnose it.

 

It turned your 2G into a 3G? That's quite an effect!!
That's some downright magical shit right there!

 

Heritage grill installed with no lights for now. It wasn’t fun but not bad in the end. 1.5 hours taking my time.

 

Good practice for when you have to take it all off again to install the lights.

 

Added a wireless charger that hopefully charges faster.

 

You can actually install the lights with out removing grille. You can do it by removing all bolts for shutters & moving it around enough to get hands & an arm down there. It's not bad at all.
Light bar might be a trick, but the amber lights are easy to do.

 

Where were you a month ago?

 

what tires on those on the stock 20s? looks like some sort of lift/level as well?

 

Interesting, hadn't seen this before. are you running 295 65R20 w/ no lift/level with this installed? Or is lift/level still needed just don't have to cut frame/trim anything else?

 

I can honestly have it off the truck with shutters removed in 5 min. Most of the work with the swap is unclipping stuff that doesn’t need to come off for lights.

 

Finished the Ironman Bumper install, added 6 new Strands Lighting Division cubes and rounds, made new fog light mounts, winch head relcoation and re-boxing, and installed the Icon Sway bar drop kit. I feel like it turned out great, I can switch the marker lights amber or white as well.

HOWEVER…on my VERY first test drive the truck threw error codes and the engine is dying. My local dealership confirmed it and ordered a new engine for me. But at least it’s a new engine at 51k which ain’t bad

 

The rubber seals you added inside tailgate. How are they performing? Still have water getting in?

 

No water getting in. The seals are great. Modified the install a little because I am running a BedRug carpet kit as well.

Here is the seal kit from Amazon $32

$33 ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal Compatible with Toyota Tundra

Lastly some night shots

 

so sorry to hear about the motor - a real kick to the teeth after the struggle with the bumper.... hopefully they get it swapped out and you enjoy a few extra ponies and smoother motor.... I was tolking with a guy at the dealer local to me yesterday who has 2k on his replacement and he's loving the new motor and improved tuning /smoothness.

Installed the LoMax Professional series tonneau cover last night. My SIL is coming over to help me do the final adjustments but I installed it in about an hour.

 

Now I need to wash the poor girl this weekend!

 

I have a 1.5" level on the front. The specs purport that you can install up to a 37" tire without a lift, but the kit requires you to cut the frame and weld on a new piece in order to accomplish that.

 

Let us know how weather proof it is. Looks good.

 

Looks great. Lomax covers are top notch.

 

I have the Lomax Tri Fold and it does not let any water in even with the touchless car washes.
