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

Debadged and 35% ceramic tint installed.

 

Put a TRD badge above the twinkie shelf.

Undecided if it looks tacky or not, anyone else have any opinion?

 

Im going to put the TOYOTA trim piece from the trd pro dash in mine some day. No pics

 

If it was 1/4 the thickness, would be a lot better, something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255437576316

 

Go Rhino D6 Steps and color matched mustache installed. Still painting the front emblem

 

Just got a ceramic tint done & got the predator steps installed.

next up: chrome delete on the back bumper & TRD Pro grille.

 

You're 100% right, also did you personally buy the grille inserts you linked?

 

Yes, I did, they fit well..

 

Installed a black tailgate handle to replace the chrome, easy. Editing a simple how-to video right now for it.

 

Mine is en route and should arrive next week. Will be having a quick watch of your video!

 

Short and sweet video, very easy mod if you want to go from chrome to black or black to chrome.

This is where I get my parts

Mines coming this week. Thanks for the video! That was super simple!

 

New tires today!

Pirelli Scorpion AT+ 275/65r20 P-rated tires on the stock Limited TRD wheels with stock suspension and no spacers. They're 34.1"x11.2" vs the factory 32.5"x10.8". Largest tire I could find without stepping up to an E load rating.

No poke. No rub. Didnt even pin back the liners.

Drives exactly like stock with just a touch heavier steering. No perceived increase in road noise. Exactly what I wanted! MPG differences TBD. I had 16mpg average on the computer for the first 600 miles. Not a great baseline lol

 

Are the the all terrain plus or atr? Thanks

 

AT+

I updated the post since I forgot that part

 

Today I got the "Northwest Protection Package", paint and interior, applied at the dealer. It may be BS, but if I get a little bit of warranty against coffee spills and food stains on the interior and some rock chips on the paint, cool.

And I took delivery of the method 705s, which will go on the truck this weekend.

 

Are your Predator steps for a double cab vs a crew cab? They look a bit short on the rocker panel.

 

Good catch…they should extend the entire length I think.

 

Why is this not an option for all TRD trucks? I was pissed when I got mine and the steering wheel and shift knob didn't have it. I didn't even know about the passenger dash. All of it looks awesome!

 

Anyone painted their bumper to match the body color? Just a quick mock up on an app on my phone...

 

seen a couple of trucks color matched like that

 

Made a quick Rotopax DIY mount. Cost was free with scrap pieces in the garage. Waiting for a '22 molle system.

Cut down a piece of 1x4 with two bolts to the c-channel, then added a back piece to fit in the divider slot of the bed to keep it from moving. Holds nicely, and prevents them from sliding around the back of bed.

Tires/Wheels are updated; Westcott 3/1 being installed on Fri.

Method 705 18" 18mm backspace
Maxxis RAZR AT 295/70R18

There is some rubbing at full turn, which I'm not worried about because I can just take it easy a couple days.

I did a few mile test run at freeway+ speeds, and was VERY happy that, while there's some road noise, it's not as much as a little wind noise, and less than engine noise. I'm really happy with the upgraded look, and excited to see how things look after Westcott. I'll post more before/after photos then.

Here's on the way to Les Schwab for the new goods, and back from Les Schwab, and a photo of the poke of the 18mm wheels (with my FJ cruiser in the reflection).





Poke's not quite that much, as I took the photo at an angle. But the 18mm backspace and this 34-ish tire combo is pretty well known.

 

I can see the sun poked out a bit in between the before/after pic that made the Blueprint show up as 2 different trucks.

Looks good

 

Yeah, the paint is really hard to capture, especially in not-full-sun. But clearly the sun is happy with the new shoes on this truck too

 

So you don't rub on the front mudflaps? My 295s barely clear the fender well....so I have been holding off on installing the front ones until my Westcott Black kit finally gets here....

 

I definitely am rubbing on the last couple inches of the tire's turn radius. For my purpose, I can put up with being careful for a couple of days. I'm not sure I'd want to do that for longer (or I'd pin back the liners, more likely).

 

Nice set up

Nice set up!

 

I like those wheels
