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

What the heck is that?

 

Same tire here, I choose 275/70/18 and white letter out

 

I did a thing yesterday. Toyota Open Country ATIII 285/65/20.

 

Never seen that. Maybe because I've never touched it in 4L. Now I need to see!

 

This have the factory lift?

What is the offset on those stock platinum wheels?

Looks great.

 

Nice! I've had good luck with the Coopers on Tundras. I spend a lot of time on logging roads and haven't had a flat in 15 years.

 

Now that's some RAKE! Damn!

 

2" readylift. Thanks! I have no idea what the stock offset.

 

It's just the angle. The rake is actually probably only 1/2".

 

Ok. I'm looking at the wheelwell gaps.

 

Yeah it does look a lot like big gaps in the picture. Yes there is some rake, but less than what came stock

 

Is this gap more to your approval?

 

Yep!

Looked way worse in that other picture.

 

The auto load leveling also changes a bit from time to time. The rear height is never exactly the same.

 

Just picked up a used Yakima Overhaul HD

 

This has me cracking up, lmao.

 

I took it to a body shop and had them paint it. Much better result IMO. Body shop used a special camera that takes a closeup picture of the paint which turns out a perfect match to the rest of the truck.

Compared to the cost of the other options, this turned out to be the best one. If you know how to take the front facia off, remove the mustache and drop it off at the body shop.

 

I have a Platinum trim and had the same layout as you. I installed their kit that changes the orientation, gets rid of the little cup holder door, the wasted space, and makes the cup holders deeper. I like it way better.

Finally got my bed lights installed. They turned out great! Here’s my write-up and the final product.

 

Also got another source for my illumination wires from the center combination switch assembly. Thought that was a better spot to source illumination for switches. Here’s a quick write-up of what I did.

 

Genuine question here... Mine has bed lights from the factory. Is that a new thing from Toyota for '25?

 

I think it’s based on what options you get with the trim? It seems that higher trim packages have bed lights standard. I think SR5s are based on option packages for if you get it. I see you have an SR5 but don’t know what the Rally package is?

Mine has premium package and other bells and whistles for an SR5 but didn’t have bed lights among other simple things. Don’t know their rhyme or reason behind what they consider standard on different trim levels.

 

Mine is supposed to be a base SR5, but the Rally package gives it a 14" screen along with a bunch of other goodies. My windows sticker doesn't show a convenience package, but I'm 99% sure I got the bigger 30-something gallon fuel tank. Because it has that and the BSM, I think there is some sort of convenience package that includes the bed lights?

The Rally package is an SR5 TRD OR with
- TRD Pro exhaust
- TRD Pro steering wheel
- TRD Pro shifter
- Tri color stripes in the softex seats
- 14" screen
- de-badged with tri-color stripes
- Base model grill

I call it my poor man's TRD Pro.

It's priced just below a limited TRD OR.

I read somewhere that it's Toyota replacement for the TRD sport.

 

Any long bed configuration (6.5’ crew/8’ double) gets the larger fuel tank too. And there may be other ways to get it.

 

Yeah, mine is just the 5.5. The fuel tank spans from the rear axle to the trans x-member. It's huge!

 

Do the math on mpg so you can have an educated guess OR drive it until 0 miles left then fill up to see how many gallons it will take.

 

On my Limited I needed the Power package to get bed lights, 120V inverter and whatever else it included.

 

That explains it. I don't have the plug in the bed either so I guess that whole package is tied together. I do have the 2 usb plugs for back seat passengers but no 120V inverter in that spot either.

 

So, Toyota eliminated the TRD sport in '25 MYs? I have the convenience package in mine.

 

It's pretty simple to add your own bed lights, just takes time, & you can configure it however you want. This cost a total of about $30.
