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

for all those gay mountain lovers

 

LOL

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Today I figured out the best use for the console cavity. Wireless chicken warmer

 

I'll bet it's much better at that than charging a phone!

 

New engine day!

I just found out that the AJT cupholder downgrade requires you to buy a part from Toyota as well. Adding that part in puts it at about $200. If you have to buy a part from Toyota, could you not just buy the whole thing from Toyota and switch it? Has anyone tried?

 

Truck looks badass…..

Factory lift? If so I have the exact truck in midnight black metallic.

Do 285/60R20 on the stock wheels give you any rub at all?

Thanks

 

Out with the old and in with the new

 

Damn that old engine was filthy!

 

@PapaDave418 how many has that dealership done?

 

I used it! Haha

 

They have done about 60. I have worked hard to have a good relationship with my service advisor and he put the best tech at the dealership on it. He can usually do the swap in in about six hours. The dealership also has a couple little tricks they’ve learned to make everything go smoother. For example, Toyota‘s work plan dictates to use chains off of the cherry picker to lift the engine, but they found that it puts a lot of stress on the hooks so they made a bar to lift the hooks straight up. Small thing, but made me glad to see that they are experienced

 

Beatsonic and I could not be happier. The phone has a consistent charge now and it adds the additional functionality of charging two phones. I have a Google Pixel 6 with a case, BTW.

 

Love the black trim piece too. Ordered a sequoia trim piece cause that is the only one I could find in black.

 

Was it a hard install? I'd definitely want this for my truck

 

Finally adjusted the air suspension. I only had about an inch at the bump stops and the ride wasn’t terrible but speed humps were bad. I also thought the truck looked a little squat how it was - I like my trucks to have a bit of rake. The back end came up just shy of an inch, the adjusters aren’t quite maxed out, and the bump stops are right around the upper end of spec at 1 3/4” passenger and 1 7/8” driver. Ride quality is better across the board and speed humps are night and day better. I’m thrilled and when I get 34s and new wheels I think it’ll be looking good.

 

Yeah nice touch on the trim piece!

 

What is the max supposed to be on the bump stops? I thought it was something ridiculously low that was impossible not to hit them on small bumps.

 

Spec is 35-45mm. With the upper end at 1.77” it was enough to make it stop bottoming out.

 

Installed bedrug

 

Very easy. Mine took maybe 20 minutes or so. Beat Sonic’s install video lays out each step

Looks good! I need that sill protector, my 9 year old boy is destroying mine, lol!

 

Thanks. It's the optional Toyota 3" lift. No rub at all. I could easily do 34.5"s before getting close to the mudflap

 

The trim took about 5 minutes to switch out, via YouTube. Super easy.

 

I was not aware of this but am now very interested... the TRD sway bar design allows for larger/wider tires to eliminate rubbing?
I have 35x12.5x20s and get a lil bit of rub on the sway bar, same 20" TRD wheels and don't really want to add spacers

edit:
Also, it looks like you removed the sway bar drop brackets as well? is something different with the TRD sway bar that you removed them or just decided not to use?

 

That's correct. The curve and geometry of the TRD sway bar allows for bigger tires. The first place bigger tires seem to rub is on the sway bar and once clearanced, the rear mudflap seems to be the next spot. My dealer told me not to go over 32.5's with the factory sway bar. With the TRD sway bar he knows you can go at least 34 in but not sure how much larger after that before you need to remove the mud flap and pin the wheel well liner back. I have a lot of room in my wheel well right now with these 33.5s. Two advantages of the TRD sway bar is being able to use normal skid plates again because it dosen't require drop brackets and fitting larger tires. And it's red, lol

 

Is this black trim piece an overlay or just a Seqouia part? Sorry if I missed the link.

 

Interested in this sway bar so I can install a skid plate on my truck with factory 3” lift (also like the red).
Besides the sway bar did you also need the links and shorter bolts?
