    2017 Tundra TRD Pro - Cement - Crewmax
    Hey everyone! My name is Mike. I live in El Paso, TX. Well after quite the fiasco at our local Toyota dealer I am finally the proud owner of a new 2017 Tundra TRD Pro Crewmax in Cement.

    I've been stalking these forums for quite a long time and finally decided to join up. You all are an absolute wealth of tips and information.

    I am an avid hunter, shooter and outdoorsman. I don't really fish as much as I'd like to...there's quite a lack of fishing spots out here in the desert.

    As far as plans for the Tundra, I already have some Coachbuilder +3 shackles, poly kit, and ABS drop kit on the way. I've really been looking at sliders after that...what do you all think of Metal Tech / OPOR Sliders???

    Thanks for posting that. Actually, I have seen those but it says '07 +. I just figured that meant '07-'13. Maybe they work for 3rd gens. too, there really isn't that much difference between 2nd & 3rd gens. They do look very good and not a bad price.

    Not a problem at all. I give them a call tomorrow and ask them if they'll fit the 3rd Gens and report back. I'm concerned cause of the difficulties that have been reported from some slider installments due to the 38 gallon fuel tank. I wish I had the cash for some SDHQ sliders...they sure are sweet.

    So I talked to Metal Tech right now and they said that their sliders "are not directly compatible with the 38 gallon fuel tanks" and would "require some user end modifications to the sliders to get them to fit". They also said that they didn't have any plans at this time to update their sliders for the 38 gallon tanks.
