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

Cup Grip

 

Thank you sir!

 

Pretty sure the 20” TRD rims are 20” x 8.5”. How much the spare will hang down will depend more on the tire width used. Mine was a 305/55R20 BFG A/T K02. From behind the vehicle stock the skinny spare doesn’t show below the rear bumper. Online says the BFG tire is about 1.5” wider than the spare.

 

Starting my TRD trim upgrades. I am going to badge this as a TRD Limited.

 

Looks great. Did you have any issues with the electric air dam, if you have one?

 

Not at all. I had to figure out how to release the air dam first to access the sway bar bracket for the recovery hooks and bolts for the stock skid plate, but that was pretty much the hard part. lol. Everything else was pretty easy, just bolt on. It took about 30mins all together. Here was the video clip on how to do that. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U4oRCGkopGQ

 

where did you pickup this vinyl wrap?

 

De-chroming continues...Ordered the following from PaintedOEMParts, painted in Smoked Mesquite for my 25' 1794:

1) Grille Surround Kit

2) Fog Lamp Bezel

3) Rear Bumper Filler Panels

Will buy some grill lights/light bars sometime between now and Black Friday and then do the complete Heritage Grill swapout and final de-chrome work after that!

 

Installed the Timbren SES system with spacers! I’m going to be towing a close to 7k pound boat here on Sunday along with quite a bit of belongings and didn’t want any squat.

 

Tested my brakes...they're good to go. BMW 3 series, not so much. Kid tried to leave the scene, pos was too slow. He finally stopped at a gas station where he fled again and CHP operator told me to let him go

 

Dude, no! Again? I'm sorry to hear that. Did CHP get him?

 

^^^Yep, sucks to hear. You're a magnet for dipsh*t drivers.

 

They did not. No plates, CHP didn't seem to care once I told him that. He's just gonna write the report for my insurance purposes.

WTH..

 

You literally can’t catch a break what was the guys explanation?

Nvm read the posts above, that kid has never been taught to take responsibility and it’s just sad. I’m sorry and hope you weren’t injured.

 

What a fucking punk.

 

he had no explanation...when I asked him why he ran he said "nah man I stopped here" (3 miles, 1 freeway exit, 3 right hand turns away). When I asked for insurance, he said he had none and that he had just bought the car at an auction. He got back in his car and left. CHP advised I don't pursuit, so I kissed $500 goodbye and let his dumbass drive off

 

Hope they get him and hopefully your uninsured deductible is low. I bet the kid shit his pants when he saw a 3rd gen closing in the gap lol. I need to get a rear dash cam for stuff like this.

 

$500 deductible, so not too bad. Glad I had the JB4 on map 5 and a tank full of E30...never lost sight of his pos. Karma will get him

 

Got the driver’s side headlight changed out finally under warranty. It was delaminating on the inside.

Seems like I’m in for a fight on the bumper cover popping off. They want me to bring it back when the tech tat changed the passenger headlight months ago is in so he can fix. Not buying that.

 

mikev25, do you know the part number for black lug nuts? I'm having trouble finding it.

 

You can get OEM black lugs from eBay. Worked great for me.

 

Part No.: 90942-A1008: NUT, HUB W/WASHER

 

Careful to get black and not black chrome. I made that mistake with eBay lugs.
