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

Installed TRD filters…

 

I installed the KG-1000 radio and Midland antenna on the truck this weekend. If anyone is interested in the details, I did a write-up over on my build thread: KG-1000 Radio Install - Duster's Double Cab Build

It was a fun project and I like how it turned out. Side note: Ignore the dust & dirt in my truck. I don't treat it like a princess, and it gets dirty in the desert.

 

How do you like it? Been back and forth on a 3rd party vs OEM and think I’m leaning towards the OEM even if it costs more for what you get. Just like the simplicity of it vs other options.

 

Finished exhaust and intake projects. I settled on the dirty deeds muffler with the factory non trd tailpipe. That's the right sound level. Also installed the AFE CAI and hot charge pipe. Seat of the pants says the turbos spool faster.

 

so far, so good. The video is 1080p but could be clearer for sure. I found one on eBay at a good price so jumped in it. I like how integrated it is, though.

Hi Guys. I recently joined the group. I previously had a Taco that I modded the heck out of. Anyway, your conversation is similar to what I have been wondering and I bet you all can address my questions. I was wondering how you are electrically adding so many auxiliary items (additional lights, winch, etc.). The Taco was easy since it was a normal battery under the hood. However, I have read many posts that caution against messing with a hybrid vehicle. I too want to add a few things.

My thoughts are to install an auxiliary fuse panel that is fed from the battery. That will allow accessories to be hooked up to it instead of the battery. A winch would be a different story since it will need battery cables.

Are you using a bus bar of some sort?

Here is what I was considering from Amazon. It has the fuse panel, switches, etc. Seems like a descent kit.

Thanks for your time, Mark

 

You might post in this thread with a better chance at getting a bunch of responses: 2022 Hybrid mod install reference. It's a dedicated modding thread for hybrid owners. Enjoy and welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures. How is the Badlands winch working out? I had the 9K on my Taco and never had a problem, but I also kept it in the bed of the truck when not in use. Does yours hold up well to weather? TIA.

 

Hadn’t seen that group…Thank you!

 

Pretty sure my speakers would be fine.

 

Would you make them and sell them?

 

Got a little closer to make a first oil change and to install a Fumoto valve.

 

Finally got my Thule racks on. Also added the inverter to the DC connectors from Leer.

 

Hey where’d you buy the shells and do you have a coupon I could use? Lol

I was pretty concerned when I got my truck over a year ago. No one had modded a hybrid yet so I was the Guinea pig. Hooked my Switch-Pros up to the battery in the back seat and put bus bars on the other side of the battery in the backseat, makes the under hood super clean and simple. Winch- running 2/0 cable from the winch to battery in the backseat. Should probably put a breaker or something on that power line but haven’t yet.

 

Finally installed the bed step thingy I've had in the garage for weeks...

 

Just picked up after ceramic coating.

 

Lookin SHARP !

 

mustache is next

 

@joao67 where did you get the black Toyota emblem on the grill?

Got my TRD 3" lift installed, along with the scs f5 18" wheels(+12 offset), 315,70r18 Yokohama Geolander MTs, Diode Dynamic ditch lights, SDHQ switch pro, and some RCI sliders. Had to do some cutting, currently rubbing on the sway bar, haven't looked into a fix for it but I imagine I'll need them to adjust caster on my alignment. Other than that truck turned out perfect.

 

My daughter made fun of me a said the living room looks like a warehouse,will installing my fenders and Alpharex headlights!

still gotta figure out which wheels I want to install. Any suggestions?

 

Grille update: TRD red painted letters with black overlay. Dont mind the missing trim... Still working on repairs from the accident.

Wheel update: TRD red paint fill to get rid of the white lettering (how it should have been from the factory)

 

Did a DIY color match for door handles, tailgate handle, and bumper covers. 089 Wind Chill Pearl.

Just recently leveled, put on new tires, sidesteps, and BAK Revolver bed cover. Purchased truck 3 weeks ago.

 

First mod for my Tundra; AJT cup holder. Big enough for a Nalgene now.

The list of future mods is growing...
