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

Joined the Michelin “Old Man”faithful. Changed my Falken Wildpeak TRD Pro take offs for a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 285/65 R18 SL on the BBS 18” wheels.

These are the same diameter, 32.6”, and weight, 38lbs, as the stock Yokohama Geolandar X-CV that came on my Limited.

Much improved SMOOTH and QUIET ride. Yes, it’s not as aggressive looking, but I don’t care since I am after great highway ride/handling.

 

Changed a few settings with the Carista:

• Windows and sunroof open with Unlock hold on the fob
• Lane change blinks from 3 to 5
• Decreased volume of parking sensor beeps and turn signals
• Ensured ANC (active noise cancellation) was "ON"
• Disabled ESE (fake engine noise)
• Disabled seatbelt warnings/dings in front
• A/C temp dial calibration -2C

 

You got the trd pro fox shocks to or kings?

 

The swap was pretty easy all things considered. I used the few threads posted here and the video posted to YouTube to guide me through it. The hardest part of it was removing the hex bolt that secures the wheel. I don't own power tools, so I ended up using a breaker bar to get it loose. Other than that part, it was not challenging at all if you have done any work on your own vehicles before.

I have the front fox shocks already, waiting for Memorial Day sales to order the rears and the TRD Lift UCAs. I've been patient in collecting suspension parts as I want to do the install right one time, the first time. I've got a Wescott lift ready to go as well.

 

Nice I also been building a sr5 mini pro!
I just seen a totaled trd pro I love to get the red seats out of but I'm holding off and hoping they make the tacoma trd pro seats for the tundra with the built in shocks! Next on the list thou is a new front bumper!

 

What is your rack and bed cover setup?

 

Diamondback with the Thule rack

 

Close: Diamondback and Yakima Overhaul HD

 

I had a Thule on my Diamondback. It wasn't straight bolt on as I needed some spacer to create the bed rail that the Thule needed.

You can get all sorts of add ons at the Diamondback online store.

 

Had my Stillen exhaust installed. Not 100% sure how I feel about it just yet but it’s definitely got some giggle factor for acceleration. Kinda wish it was a dual tip instead of the single one but just need some more time to see how I like it. Potato pic for proof

 

The eBay listing went live.

 

Got myself the Rough Country Sport Fenders and got them installed. The color match from them is pretty spot on.

 

Can you post a side pic and a 45 degreee too? What is your wheel offset?

 

Running 20X9 +18 right now with 295/60/20. I'll try to get a 45 degree angle shot but here's a side shot.

 

Compatible with OEM mud flaps?

 

I'm pretty sure they are not. Our truck didn't come with the factory mud flaps so I won't be able to know how much you can modify either to make both fit.

 

Ceramic coated front wheels last night. Turned out awesome.

 

Finally got the front of my kings turned with the eibach rear spring for the TRD Pro.

 

Orange looks great.

 

I agree. I love that octane orange on the Pros. If I had the money, that's what I would have gone with.

 

Added L track for tiedowns

 

Buncho fixes

 

Now you are ready for that 3" lift!

 

Took it up Yankee boy basin today in co. We couldn’t make it the whole way due to snow and some fairly deep ruts

 

I had clear wrap put on my headlights to keep them clear foryears to come.

 

Nice view!

 

Swapped out my 24 limited grill to a TRD Grill and added some Tuffskins Tri-color decals as well. Keeping it the monotone look I opted for the gray/white/black. I did the TRD as well as the three strips coming down. I May out the “ D “ to solid black as it looks weird from far away. Let me know your thoughts. Also installed Diode Dynamics fog light replacements. Also see if you spot the Easter egg.

 

Could your easter egg be that hood plastic that says "TUNDRA"?

 

Made some weighted bags with my vacuum sealer and some old sunglass case holders for covers. Holding down my RV backup cam monitor.

 

I took Friday and finished it Saturday ceramic coating my truck with Adam’s advanced graphene ceramic. Amazing product. I used their last graphene on my Highlander and after 4 years of abuse it was still going. Strip wash, clay mitt, iron remover, Adam’s polish with orbital as it was in good shape and ceramic.
