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

i washed and dried my key

I was super surprised everything worked, thats 1hr in water and 1hr in heat

 

You're living on the edge

 

Hey Brad. That is how I crossed over from the hater side. I rented my wife one in Bentonville, Arkansas. She convinced me to try it, and I was sold on the first ride. I could get to areas I could not on my analog bike. It increased my enjoyment exponentially. I still have the analog and ride it some and keep it as a spare. The wife and I each have an emtb now. Most of our vacations are to locations we can ride. Utah is on the bucket list!

 

Got a couple of new things. Front gloss black emblem to match the platinum. Bakflip MX4 cover, love it so far.

Nitto Recon Gripplers in 275 65 r20. Could have gone larger, but I am about 3/4 inch from hitting the bottom of my garage door.

 

yeah, eveyrthing matches on the platinums except the grille and grill surround. believe they call it ‘dark metallic’, but i just replaced it all w black color matched components yesterday.

 

Love the write up. Did you install a amp for the new door speakers or just install with factory radio?

 

blacked out front end/grill surround—went w the trd sport/off-road grill. dealership installed. only hiccup is that instead of making a small, $2 dollar piece of plastic that connects the front camera to all the variety of trim level grills, toyota puts specific camera mounts that fit in each different grill so had to be ordered and installed on top of the labor. it’s a ~$350 camera for those wondering and if anyone wants a 3 week old one that came w my platinum, i gotchu.

 

Why Toyota doesn’t offer a sport package on any trim to get rid of the unwanted chrome is beyond me. Not like it can’t be done at the factory. On the plus side the limited trim, for 2024, is a nightshade now in Canada at least and I have one on order

 

Had the Westcott Design level kit installed along with some 35s on new Methods. Got a chance to throw my Pro grill on this past weekend as well.

 

That looks great, where did you get the wrap from?

 

awesome, thank you. Went with speakers to factory headunit, and powered subwoofer, feed to door/dash speakers not amplified. Chatted with the installer re amp to speakers, he recommended see how it sounds first while assuring we can add later if needed. Turns out that was good advice. May not need in my case. Overall nice upgrade, sound vastly improved in my truck for my taste.

 

looks great!

 

The camera should be able to move from grille to grille. The mount is a little different going from the TRD Offroad to the Heritage grille. There are lots of options to get a suitable mount without having to spend a lot of money. Some members are selling 3D printed ones for the Heritage grille and some venders are making mounts as well.

I took my TRD Offroad grille off, but used the mount and some rubber blocks to switch it over to the Heritage grille. It is bigger and works but clunky. The camera has 2 little torx screws that hold it to the mount. Just remove the screws and the camera can be put into the other mounts.

 

• A little rear diff breather extension. Reused the old breather and used 5/16 fuel line and Toyota Union
  $8 90404-51319 Toyota Union - 90404-51319
  90404-51319. Nice little $20 project to add a few extra feet to make sure the diff doesn’t flood out.
  
  

 

Been waiting to do this for months and Amazon keeps shipping me the union but I never receive said unit…

 

Sounds like it fell through the crack! Maybe reorder it? Mine came in 3 days

 

believe ur mistaken. me n the technician noticed the obvious torx screws that hold the camera to the mount, but the mount from my platinum simply wouldn’t fit the new sport/off-road grill i wanted installed. the issue is toyota doesn’t sell the varying mounts that attach to the grills, they sell the cameras w the varying mounts already attached. being in a loaner for a few hours and finding all this out via txt while the front end’s completely removed, obviously 3D printing a mount that fit wasn’t an option. they ordered the camera (w the mount) that fit and the install was completed the next morning. thx for learning w me tho

 

What bump stop setup do you have in there? looks not stock

 

Well that’s too bad. With the 5 different grilles, one would hope that they would be interchangeable to a degree. Having to buy a camera to complete a grille swap would make the prospect very costly.

I have to post my TRD grille in the buy and sell section and will make sure that the “T” shaped camera mount is included.

 

I use the Timbren ones here

Looking good! I'm out of town for another 5 or 6 days and will be doing mine along with the mustache bar when I get home. Can't wait to see installed photos.

 

Done that 2x now and still nothing

Westcott designs sells 3d printed brackets for the cameras, using one on my heritage grill…. No need to spend $300 when you can spend $30

 

u need to when ur halfway thru install my guy. i’ll get something for the ‘old’ camera don’t worry.
again, toyota doesn’t sell it and it was at the dealership being done. hopefully this clears up ur confusion. lastly, westcott can keep their shit but by all means enjoy it. thx

 

Is it the black grille or the silver one?

 

Don't want to know what happened to your Wheaties this morning

 

haha just don’t tell me bout some $5 dollar piece of plastic form a 3rd party seller after toyota’s already kicked me in the balls.
the coffee is flowing..

 

I have the blackish one that came on my Limited TRD Offroad. I wouldn't say it is a perfect black but more of that plastic matt look with the chrome Toyota logo and of course the "T" shaped camera mount.

Here is a photo of the grille before I took it out.

 

Terrible

 

Added the Diode Dynamics SS6 Amber Fog Light Kit that replaced the stock fog lights on my 23 Platinum. Very easy plug and play install with all necessary components included. Next up is their stealth Amber light bar. Just waiting on my cali raised switch to come in. Also getting refunded for my Toyota OEM tonneau cover so I ordered the diamondback SE today. Fun times for me.
