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

Why did you remove the flares?

following as well

 

I found a super expensive fabbed up mesh filler plate but then found this series of cover plates. That and an universal light bar bracket should fill it up nicely. The plan is to have the grill sit in behind the bumper. Just waiting on it to get in to test the theory.

I removed the flares only because I was digging them off during the bumper removal haha

 

Ahhh…I see. Lol. Silly me thought you were talking about the pro grill and having a matching filler for it.

I see you want to cover the bumper light bar opening.

 

Oh gotcha haha. That’s easy too, a little abs grill material and jb weld

 

More pictures? Side shot, build tread?

 

gotcha, was thinking for the TRD pro light at insert as well!

Color match the flares and slap them back on, looks super mean with a bumper

 

Man that looks good. I may keep them around and see what a coat of AG does for the look

 

I didn’t document much for the bumper install but here’s one more picture. I’ll take more once this smoke subsided. The overall build is pretty extensive and I need to put it all on one sheet. You’re more than welcome to cruise through my posts for the progress.

 

I like the body cut angle for that bumper, looks really good vs C4, lil b's CBI, etc

 

I do like that little angle bit it leaves before the two bumpers meet. Either way, these trucks are night and day with the front end tucked

 

Looking 10-8 !

 

Nice car. Thanks for the pic.

 

Was there something wrong with them? Or wasn't the look you were going for?

 

Nope nothing wrong with them. Just got reunited with the flareless truck during the project and decided to keep them off

They’re great flares and flow well with the body lines.

 

Finally got my Leer topper on really stoked how it turned out. Tires this summer. Leer did an excellent color matching job. And the locking with the key fob is fantastic. Inalso got the DC charging ports in the back too.

 

So this goes over the top of the original? How thick is it? Just trying to see how much higher it is than the hood.

 

You can always adjust the height of the hood..

 

Installed it and drove to the airport for the truck to sit until Friday night. I'll get some more seat time and can report back. For now though, sound is definitely punchier and louder.

 

The very first modification was to delete all the chrome (mustache and bumpers). The second mod was RetraxOne tonneau cover. This allows me to install options for bikes, ski equipment and even roof mount tent. And, secure items in the back of the truck. Wheels and tires were next, since the initial wheels and tire upgrade, I’ve increased tire size again to 34.3x11.6R18.

I just like to point out, I didn’t have any rubbing after pinning back the felt and removing the mud flaps. A week after adding the 34” tires, I lifted the front end with RC M1 coilovers. Then added color matched fender flares. In my opinion, trucks look better without the factory rake. Last but not least, I purchase Go Rhino E1 electric running boards.

Before mods:





After mods:

 

thanks for the side pic of the flares, makes the choice easier now that i dont want the rivet/baja looking flares.

 

Looks awesome. Have you driven it with the back widow down? I love the look of a cap and I never use the rearview camera, but love putting the back window down. Just wondering how it affects the airflow.

 

Not a huge upgrade, but took silver running boards to Line-X for coating, they turned out great.
Boards now match the Diamondback cover.

 

Have not yet. On my old 2005 it was fairly quiet with window down with the shell.

 

Yes I have, and there is no change. Absolutely no turbulence. The back window is one of my most favorite things about the Tundra.

 

I’ve jumped on the forum because I wanted to replace my 8” head unit with an oem 14”. Unfortunately, No one has any. Has anyone tried to install the JBL in a non-JBL harness? Or is there a mod that can overcome that issue?

 

Ok

 

Looks like the S&B filters are shipping now. I wonder how it compares to the afe in terms of boost at similar rpms.

 

Has anyone done the wood grain of this on their 1794? How does it compare against the wood grain already there?

seeing as how the 1794 is real walnut veneer i am going to guess the oak is not a match at all. only one way to find out tho!

 

Thanks. I had no idea which wood it was. What do you mean real? It's all just plastic isn't it?
