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

Where did you find the covers for the hood emblems?

 

vendor who we shall not name here

 

Yeah. Don’t recommend. Good from far but far from good.

 

This looks nice! I'll have to check that out. I liked the OE a lot but last I looked you couldn't get it.

 

I had a bakflip on a previous truck and I’m liking this better. Not sure about waterproof yet but it’s not a huge issue in AZ.

 

Thanks

 

Just installed RC Vertex Crossovers, need to set the height, didnt realize you need a spring compressor to do so. Expected to jack up truck and make adjustments.

 

As it sits after install

 

What size lift?

 

Those are Vertex 2.5 coilovers, no lift, just level

 

I talked with a local shop who builds some nice trucks and semis, they said the front could easily settle the 1/2" to 5/8" needed to be more level. They are going to do an alignment on Friday and I will run it for a few thousand miles to see how much it drops. I will say, testing the coilovers, I feel the ride is as good as, if not better than the stock front suspension. And I used a rough train crossing, PA roads, and some road to bridge transitions to test it out.

 

Wheel and tire specs? I am LOVING this setup! Nicely done

 

Wheels are Vossen HF6-4 Terra Bronze 22x9.5 @ 20 offset
Tire are Toyo Open Country AT3 305/45R22 (32.8x12x22)

If I recall, I have 1.25 inches of poke past the fender flare edge.

As dumb as this will sound, the truck is taking on a different stance than I was expecting. I didn't think it would sit as high as it does, which most will think is nothing really. I am 6'4" and it feels bigger to me, lol. I can't imagine driving a truck that has a 6"+ lift on it. All said and done, I am happy with it so far, plan to lay off the mods for now.

 

I think you put it together perfectly. Never realized how much I like a Wind Chill 1794 with bronze wheels. Those Vossens work just right.

 

I owe the coilover install to my son, he got home from work and seen me in the garage and immediately jumped right in and knocked it out. So glad he is a go getter, lol

 

I have added 2 K&N Air Filters, and a stage 3 for more HP, and torque!
I like the difference. Check out Thorton Chip Tuning!
They say 50 to 60 more H/P and more torque with a bump in MPG!

 

They claim 60hp and 5 mpg for my 2024, sorry man, aint no way that is gonna happen. Read alot about this across many forums and it just doesnt live up to the claims.

 

Also be careful with the K&N filters they can cause you some issues.

In Feb 2025 (after I get my bonus check) I will add wheels and tires:
Wheels: WELD CINCH W104 20x9 6x139.7 +20 W10409098576-P2 - 31 lbs (confirmed by Weld)
Tires: Toyo Open Country A/T3 275/60R20 115T SL - 42 lbs
Total weight: wheels 31 lbs + tires 42 lbs = 73 lbs (stock Platinum setup is 76 lbs)
This super lightweight setup will have minimal impact to gas mileage and ride quality. Anyone running a similar setup today?

 

Finally put my chase rack together.

 

Installed a FitCamX dash cam today. Pretty easy install and a very clean finished look. So far so good.

 

I installed GoRhino RB30 originals on my 2024 TRD Sport yesterday. I did flip the boards the opposite direction after looking at photos preferring the square facing the back. Youtube videos helped a lot! Definitely like my choice with originals with bed coating, though GR only uses powder coat on bottom. We hit that with Rustoleum bed liner & primer along with the mounting brackets. Will see how it holds up. Bought from vendor santanaRT here. Happy I can now get in much easier at 5'5" lol...

 

Installed the OEM bed step and the Rough Country tri fold flip up bed cover. All in all, took me three hours total.

 

Well, first off, Thanks to TTCM and his post for the Tundra Backseat for Dogs. I only bought this Tundra 2 weeks ago and knew that I was going to remove the rear seat, hence why I got the Double Cab with the 6.5 bed. I was searching for "rear seat delete" kits and happened upon his post. Which I knew I had to do.

So his measurements are 58 x 32, I presume for the crew cab. I measured mine and figured I would need to be about 28 instead. And before anyone gives me grief for what I found in the garage, just know that this was picked up probably 10 years ago out of the clearance/as-is section. Price tag was faded out but I paid $12.90 - for a 59x29 Ikea Table Top! You can see the line on the right is all I had to cut off.



So I originally planned to just spray paint it with the truck bed liner spray. But while I was at Home Depot, I happened upon this outdoor rug that was cheaper than 2 cans of the spray. So I just got it and some spray adhesive. You will see that I cut notches in the underside of the top so that it fits flush over the seat belts and latches.


In fact, with the carpet, it now fits very snugly and covers up everything in back. While I do have dogs, my plan was more for tailgating and camping items that I don't want left in the bed. And since there were no modifications to the body, I can just pop it back out and put back in the seats in about 10 mins. Note that it is actually perfectly level and covers everything in back, fitting nice and flush.


Note that it does sit above the storage area about an inch or so.


If anyone else wants to make one, here's the measurements for all the slots to cut to go around everything:

 

I swapped my wheels and tires from KMC wheels +18 offset with K02’s 285/70r20 to ProComp 0 offset with Nitto ridge Grappler 295/70R18. I like the poke from my 0 offset. It looks more aggressive. This is my cup of tea. Pic 1 with KMC, pic 2 with ProComp

 

I'm just happy that I'm getting to start using it more for the main reason I bought it; drag the boat to go fishing. San Diego has a big cold ocean, so we get going later than most think. I've gotten to make some short afternoon trips recently... and I love the way it tows in comfort. This was two days ago and I haven't seen the sun since. We call it May grey.

 

CBI overland rock sliders, issues with aligning one of the “c” clamps on passenger side frame. It appears to conflict with a factory mount for fuel tank.

since there’s 4 I may just cut the one off and live with the three attachment points. I marked a line in orange where I would cut.

 

I don't have a rock slider, but did you check if you have the correct side?

 

I wouldn't cut anything before contacting manufacturer asking: what the hell?
