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

He did eventually. He hit two other cars and then slammed into the k rail for like a quarter mile.

I was shocked that he didn’t flip and that somehow he could still drive. Subaru chased after the Silverado because he kept going a little while longer. Insane stuff

 

Finalizing the TRD Pro tailgate spoiler installation today and see this...


It is glass smooth but looks like the clear is trying to separate from the metallic underneath??? WTF?!?!!

 

Installed some bed lights today, big improvement.

 

Sumo springs!

 

I like the look of those! Info?

 

And put the tailgate letters in finally.

 

Thanks, cheap & easy, just alot of wiring.

Ever try a bedmat? Seems to keep stuff from sliding and great on knees when climbing in.

 

Yeah, that may be next!!!

 

Real truck one worked for me. Was tired of trying to use 2x4’s. Would buy again.

 

I have the spray on bed liner, but thought it was way to grippy. It chews everything up that goes into it, so I opted for a bed mat. I went with the TripleALiners one, and it has been fantastic.

Here's a Link to my reddit post from back in July so you can see what it looks https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTundra/s/vUZS2W6b1c

Wonder if my dogs would like it

 

I bought a 4'x6' horse stall mat for $40 from tractor supply and cut 6.5" off the long side. 4' is a perfect fit between the wheel wells.

Even the smooth side is super grippy. The textured side is excessively grippy so it went down.

 

Noticed my lug nuts are rusting out. These are Gorilla brand and thought they were decent? Any suggestions for a lug nut that holds up better that are black in color?

 

O.E. wheels, right?
Why not O.E. lug nuts?

 

They were chrome and looked like doodoo. Wanted black. Forgive me I’m new here.

 

No worries. Not a big fan of chrome either.
Toyota does make them in black.

 

My Toyota black ones are holding up well. My black lug locks are not.

 

16.25 a piece from Toyota. Almost $400 before shipping for lug nuts is crazy town.
Any other ideas?

Yikes. Did not know that.
Crazy town indeed.

Search the Wheel and Tire subforum. "Black lug nuts" (If you haven't already.)
Someone must have come up with a decent alternative.

 

I installed VLED footwell lights today and they are so much better than OEM! I did a writeup on my build page quoted below if anyone is interested. They come on like normal setting for OEM footwell lights and also when the headlights come on!

 

I tried the 12V cigarette lighter Port for the first time today and it doesn't work. Popped the Accessory Fuse Box underneath the glove compartment and discovered the "Power Outlet No.1" Fuse Popped. Replaced it and the 12V started working!

 

Can buy a lot of rattle can black for that $$

 

And also added one of my OEM footwell lights to my glovebox that was missing in my SR5 trim since I had trim off and was already doing the upgraded footwell lights. I didn’t have a light for my glovebox but there was a spot for one so I used the passenger OEM light and the harness at that spot and extended it up to the glovebox. Now I can see what’s in there! Here’s my write up:

 

2 weeks ago upgraded my Qi charger to a dual unit I got from BeatSonic. Works great

 

I made an aluminum tailgate overlay with $44 of scrap aluminum from my local metal store. Once it warms up I’m going to add some marine foam so it’s flat yet doesn’t kill my knees!

 

Found some used OEM ones on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/1672706050...AfCWkk2Q2N9vkbm-4rnpBZqo3OO2_SJBoC9I4QAvD_BwE

Extreme Terrain has these as well. https://www.extremeterrain.com/tund...Up63WDpg8hVnp7Uzh4hoCivUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

thanks for taking the time to help! Just got the eBay ones
