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

nice, thanks!!!

 

@CappyKD

Picked up a new x2 and the guy behind the counter at batts+ asked "What kind of vehicle is this in?" When I told him, he said it made sense and that they see this a lot with Tundras and Tacos. Got my one time free replacement, looks like I might be on the hook for a prorated exchange next time. They did say 5 months was an awfully short life for the battery though, so maybe I just got a dud.

 

it’s a game changer

 

Decked Drawer System. My broken body was tired of climbing in and out of the bed to get heavy tool boxes out.

 

Got new shoes. South east Toyota is running a special buy 3 get one free. So Michelin LTX M/S2 it is. The factory LTX trails wore out at 27,000 Miles. While at the dealer I had the driver side visor swapped out, brakes all the way around and air filters.

 

Car Thieves are only good for Target Practice.
No repeat offenders!

 

The Michelin LTX M/S2 is the tire I choose, I like them good all-around traction for my needs. I don't go off roading in my 1794

 

Ordered a meso dome light, waiting for the maps to come back in stock.

 

Can you post more pics of the tires mounted? I’m looking at the same ones in 275\65\20. How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking at them on tire rack for $347 each.

 

They were $331 each totaling $370.50 mounted. The sale has them at buy 3 get 1 for $1. I also had an alignment done. So just under $1,400

 

The longer I drive on the stock bilstein shocks with the cornfed kit, the more I realize how good of an upgrade for the money it is.

 

I haven't posted anything in a minute... but here's a before and after... 6 months of ownership.

 

looks great, can you provide info on the wheels/offset/lift/tire size?

 

No more rally decals?

Also, looks like blacked out factory wheels with spacers?

 

Decided to bring the ole 65 Nova SS home today. The Tundra is smooth as silk. My son is behind me in his 95.5 Tacoma 4WD, V6, 5 spd. It’s kind of a magical journey together. The Nova has been 2+ hours away for over 7 months while we freshened her up.

 

Oh...My!!! Very nice SS

 

Under the hood. True V8 SS car.

 

Those center caps are fire. . Well done.

 

when I got home, I realized I already have a posi in her. Not the gen 3 Tundra type “limited slip differential” type.

 

Haha, best way to test for one!

 

That brings up a great question.. how do you guys get me most power off the line in these tundras for some peelies? Tow+ mode or sport? Turn off traction control and Auto LSD on? Sport mode on the shifter? If so, what gear?

 

Reminds me of the good old days. These turbos launch hard.
TC - off, LSD - off, tranny - manual mode in 1. Left foot deep on brake, right foot on gas.
Slow step into accelerator & let brake pressure off slightly until wheel spins, & totally off brake once (only one tire will be spinning), let tire smoke begin. Keep stepping into gas & be ready to slap shift into 2 before hitting rev limiter, be ready for 3.
Dry concrete should get you well over a truck length mark with stock tires. Bigger tires driveline things may start breaking…

 

Thanks, they look great

 

Well went to replace the cabin air filter (Amazon) and the engine air filters (TRD performance). Found that a mouse had been making himself a nice home in one of the engine air filter boxes. Chewed a hole through the plastic mesh and was using the sound deadener material as stuffing. Took the boxes out and actually has a nice easy place to put some metal mesh between two pieces of the intake tube. Cut some leftover material I had sitting around to the shape and put a couple dabs of glue around to keep in place, not needed though. Removed both sound materials and glued plastic baskets back in place. Well worth taking a look in there fellow Tundra owners. Maybe took me an hour to total but good piece of mind now. Truck has about 20k miles. 2023

 

Also recently did the eyelid tints and really like how it turned out. Almost looks like it was supposed to be there and hopefully will help protect that plastic facing up.

 

Did you buy them precut or make them yourself?

 

Precut. Had a tint shop apply. A couple options out there.

I finally received my Black Armor bed mat for the 6.5' bed. I like it, tighter fit than the OEM one was in my 2.5 gen. I waited 5 weeks for it to arrive, so I had better like it lol.

 

OEM wheels with 1.5" spacers blacked out. Rough country front level and 285/75/18 Open Country AT3's

Yup you're right. Still on OEM's.
I peeled off the decals... it was too much. Decals on the front, sides, tailgate, center caps, on all the seats inside, on the dash.... lol

You have no idea how many times i've been asked what the decals were about from non-car people/friends. They thought i stuck them on all over the truck.
I did however leave the one on the tailgate.

Thanks... that's just how they came.

 

Sunday wash day. Been slacking the last months getting ready for deer season working on my farm. Back to washing every Sunday after church again!
