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

Picked up some kings from accutune this morning

 

Yeah, my truck already has the factory rally stripes and a tri color license plate frame. I went with flat black as not to throw on too much tri color.

 

No video, sorry. I got the idea for the external filter here, https://www.tundras.com/threads/magnefine-tranny-filter-install.151283/#post-3820865

Last night's fluid dump was achieved by pinning the t-stat, removing the hose from the hardline, right in front of the filter. As you can see in this pic, fluid flows out of the trans (Green arrow) through the bottom line. Do not disconnect the top (red) line, the bottom one is easier to work with.



I have an aftermarket remote start, so I can turn it on/off as many times as Id like. So with the hose removed, I just aimed it down and into a 5qt home depot mixing bucket https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-5-qt-Small-Mixing-Bucket-05QHDX55024/300225941 I pumped out 4qts, dumped that into my oil jug, wiped the mixing bucket clean and filled it back up to the same level as I took out but with fresh fluid (I used this https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-sig...nsmission-fluid-atl/?zo=5150300&code=ATLTP-EA )and used this hand pump https://www.amsoil.com/p/bottle-hand-pump-g2039/?zo=5150300

Put the hose back on the hardline, hand tighten the fill plug, turn the truck on for 5 or so mins and then repeat the process until you swap as much fluid as you'd like. It's a one man job if you can work the remote start, you have plenty of time to pump out the 4qts. A little easier if someone is in the truck turning it on/off and cycling through the gears, but not necessary.

My driveway isnt level, so I cant do a proper fluid level check...I'll have my dealer do it next time its in for some work.

 

What did you spray them with- something to help preserve the finish? looks good

 

Line-X

 

Ya, you aren't going to step on that part to get in anyway cause it's out front, and it helps have the extra in the back for rear passengers. I can still use it to clean the window or reach the center when I need to.

 

Put on 4 inexpensive mud flaps on my truck and put a Rough Country bed mat in the bed my son bought me for my birthday. I'm going to paint all 4 flaps gloss black this weekend to blend with the truck, flat black doesn't look as good!

Next week I'm ordering an Access LOMAX Professional Series Hard Folding Tonneau Cover from RealTruck.

No pics, but I got my Fitcamx front & rear cams w/the Sienna mod for parking mod. Super simple install and it works great! I would highly recommend it.

 

I rinsed off the winter grime today and ordered an Alu-Cab Contour cap. That stung. A lot.

 

Washed mine today as well after putting a couple hundred miles on it this morning. Sitting at a whopping 1710 miles now.

 

Drove 500 miles round trip to pick up this canopy

 

Mine are 21 mm

 

I found something that said chrome lugs are 21mm, black lugs are 22mm.

This evening I added some headlight "eyelids". Matte black vinyl to protect the top of the headlights. The tops were the first to oxidize on my last Toyota.

Before:

After:


Spy the sweet Scion with Matrix wheels.

 

The headlight eyelid wrap is a great idea! I may just do it too haha after my moms cars headlights went south on a brand new car, makes sense.

I had to use a heat gun on it for a couple seconds to make the outside corner lay down.

 

17x8.5 0 offset with 35x12.50x17

 

Any issues with fitment on the ADD bumper ? it's top 3 on my list.....

 

Washed & detailed it, installed the Auto start stop reverse switch & the always 400w. I didn’t just order or receive stuff for my truck this is what I actually done to my truck. Yup I read the title & I’ll say it loud for those in the back.

Put the Stillen on Race mode today and changed Carista setting to 6 flashes for the turn signal.

 

Put the trd pro shift knob on because why not!

 

I didn't know you could make it always 400w. What did you use?

 

Mine are black (TRD wheels) and 21MM. 13/16” works also. Could be a supplier change as mine was a COVID truck (2022).

 

Removed the TRD 4x4 Bed stickers. What an absolute pain in the ass, but happy with the result. Took off the top layer using a hair dryer and then hit the bottom layer with an eraser wheel.

 

5 for me. Because I’m odd…

 

I installed a Spigen tempered glass screen protector. I was tired of my sunshade scratching the screen when it sprung open. I was rubbing a gouge in the corner and the screen FELL OFF!!

Then I realized I had never taken off the factory cover, so that’s what was scratched and fell off. Never noticed it was on there, so my screen is still perfect and now has a protector.

 

washed mine, installed trd pro lower valence.

 

Finished up installing kings, Camburg uca’s, silver axles. Kings ended up being almost exactly the same amount of lift as my prior spacer lift so I’m stoked. Dropped skid plate for engine recall appt next week. Just needs an alignment tomorrow! (and a new front, lower shock bolt on the passenger side since I stripped that pretty decently yesterday)

 

I bought a spigen thinking my screen was getting beat up as well. I went through both cleaner wipes before I realized I was cleaning the factory film. Glad I realized it was a film before I destroyed a $30 glass screen protector.

 

What part are you referring to?

 

My thought as well. Had I not tried scraping one of the gouges hoping it was grime, I totally would've stuck it on there.
