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

It's the ebay special. I actually have an extra if anyone wants it. For some reason they sent me 2, and I have the marker lights to go with em. Just gotta make a bracket for the light bar to fit the grille. I think I saw one of those on ebay as well. Its pretty bright and no moisture. Not bad for a Chinese knock off.

 

@saleen079 did you just splice that into fog light wiring ?

 

Tapped into the right fog light wires. Green is hot, white/blk is ground. That plastic cover around the fog lights is a pain in the ass to remove.

 

Yep, I've gone thru this entire forum and I can't find anywhere that shows someone using the fog light wires for the grille lights. I keep my fog lights switch in the on position anyway.

 

Yeah. I always do my own work. Installed Westcott lift myself and did 500 miles oil change myself. But this was the last free oil change and I wanted to take advantage of it so I let them do it and checked everything after. Also the oil filter, I manage to tighten it another half a turn by hand.

I was going to look into doing survey but I just notice on my Repair Order I got from them, the email was incorrect. But I emailed the service manager to let them know I was disappointed in the service that was done and should train their lube tech again.

 

Not a damn thing but at least I got the ‘22 6MT Taco waxed up. I’ll hit the PRO next week.

 

Added a few items in the back to help with gear mounting and storage. As well at the RTT.

 

How do you all feel about the afe intake vs their drop in filters? They are on sale right now. While I typically like intakes, the way the new gen is set up, the only difference to me from stock looks to be the filter itself. The air delivery is still the same.

 

I have the afe cold air. It looks cool under the hood and give a little bit more sound but other then that no change

 

I like the molle in the bed, Im looking to add one on the front near the cab, to carry my rotopax as you have shown, what brand & how did it attach? using bed rail & tie down cleats?
tks

 

Bummer. I like the idea of it but even with the sale price it hardly seems justified. The drop in would still give better airflow than stock.

 

Installed auto stop/start disabler and redarc Liberty brake controller

 

Diode Dynamics hitch pod

Installed bajadesigns grille and bumper light bars along with their fogs.

 

How do you like them, are they significantly brighter?

 

They're awesome. Considerably brighter than the stock fogs and now with the two 20in bars to add, it's even brighter

Added no slip inlays. I got these free since I’m an Amazon Vine reviewer. So far I like them. They come in all black, red, and blue details.

did you install? Plug in play or did you have to cut wires?

 

Fogs are plug n play. Bumper and grille lights require relay harness wiring.

 

Added some bed lighting to my MY22 Limited. I used (2) Baja Designs LED rock lights. Drilled 1/8" holes on center with the mounting holes and then tapped them with a M4 - 0.7 tap which allowed for the Baja Designs supplied mounting hardware to be used. The power wire(s) run through a grommet (7/16) and then under the bed where I tied into the factory cargo light harness that is just behind the receiver hitch. Very pleased with the results. Next up is a RetraxPro XR install later this week.




Location of the harness which was tapped (only operates when cargo lights are active - can be disabled with interior cargo light switch)



The blue wire in the harness below (see attached wiring diagram) is what supplies 12vdc to the Trailer Assist Light, which is the LED light next to the tailgate handle. This should be present on most trims and is adequate to supply these two rock lights which pull a combined 0.75 amps when I tested them at 11.9 VDC, and of course less amperage draw as voltage increases. The white and black wire is ground.

 

Pic is both 20in bars and fogs. Have the aim down the grille bar and aim up the bumper light. Too much foreground messes with your vision at night. Fogs are perfect, for now.

 

ahhh yeah man that looks great, that's exactly what I have wanted on mine. I have the TRD Pro bar but want to add one on bottom and upgrade fogs as they are wimpy. Great set up, looks nice!

 

I'll have a Westcott bumper light bar brackets for sale soon. Bought it back in September and never used it...ended up using the BD brackets instead. Paid $230 shipped, probably gonna list it for $150 shipped to lower 48 if youre interested.

how does the locker perform?

 

It did well. I wish it came with a front locker as well and had more droop like a true 3 or 4 link but honestly it did fine for what I am hoping to accomplish. I ditched a 2017 Ford F350 Crew Dually and a 2011 Taco for this and it needs to haul our 8500lb camper after I transfer all my stuff from the Taco. Time will tell it's only 2 days old.

 

Glad you are happy with the lights @eddiefromcali.
Best,
Brandon
