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

Not the most amazing but a major quality of life upgrade for larger drinks. The install was easy, it was just a matter of go slow and not break any clips.

 

Do many run the pro grill without the market lights or light bar?

 

not sure. I’ve had to pace myself since buying the truck. It’s gotten new tires, TRD exhaust, the grill, a few other things. . That will come soon.

 

I absolutely plan to

 

You'll have to take it all back apart again.

 

Really? Doesn't it just look like a giant gap without it?

 

Got tint

 

In my opinion, no. There’s a pic a few posts up. The gap isn’t any taller than all the other openings, just wider. But really I just don’t want a light bar.

 

I'm with you based on the pictures. It think the light bar gap is fine.

I actually more concerned about the notches for the market lights.

 

I’ll probably grab the smoked ones from rave eventually.

 

Just added these vent lights.

Gave it a much needed hand washing.

 

Installed Rok Block tailgate gap filler:

and Bedrug tailgate cover. Makes life easier for the knees.



Also unplugged and taped off the walkaway beeper under the d/s front wheelwell.
One more annoying nanny gone!

 

Went to the local mountains for lunch.

 

I wish rave had actual pictures of all the options.

 

600 mile oil change on new engine.
New fomoto valve with the long nipple.
Not pictured but started mocking up the external trans cooler.

 

Tyger soft roll up bed cover. pretty good quality and fits really good for 200 bucks.

 

I've been needing to get something. Where'd you purchase?

 

Amazon.

Nice!! How was the install on those?

 

Rough country, ebay, Amazon, all of them sell them, they are made at the same plant in china. All of them are good and i could not find any difference among ones i checked even tho they bear different names. Maybe some made on another factory just around the corner

 

Looks good. Mine arrive today!

 

What’s wild to me, is that the TRD off-road package doesn’t come with skid plates.

waiting on the front one from EBay soon.

I don’t do enough off-roading to necessitate a 1/4 thick plate, but something that’s sturdy enough to take a hit and deflect the blow, as well as deter catalyst thieves is a win in my book.
And it was $129.00.
Say what you will about rough country, but they solve problems at a reasonable price.

 

Let me understand, rough contry or ebay?

 

Ordered both from Ebay, the actual skid plate that mimics the TRD one is on the way, should be here later in the week.

The rough country cat shield/trans plate was from their ebay store as well, free shipping.

Total was about $360 for both i think.

 

I have the same cat shield, been on for about a year and no issues.

 

Not bad just followed the instructions. Note the driver side wire is tan not purple.

 

Added sound deadening material to all four doors thanks to this forum for ideas on application and assembly. Was pretty fun to do honestly and recommended highly if you like to tinker. It’s not hard at all to remove/install door panels. I may do the back wall or floor down the road but honestly already happy with the results.

The doors close with more thud, it’s noticeably more quiet inside, sound from stereo seems sooo much better, driving it feels awesome and tight, and less pesky rattles! Sorry my explanations suck but just trust me and do it.

Recommendations:
- Bought a box 76sq ft. - would have divided the total by 4 so I knew how much could be applied per door. Ended up with about 8 sheets leftover but if I knew would have spread those out and just doubles up or applied to inside door skin.
- front door puddle lights are easier to plug back in if you knock them out of door panel and pull wire through. Light just pops back on.
- the front doors/mirror area covers are a pain to pop off. There are two white clips that you’ll have to get out of the mirror mount area to reinstall the cover (put on cover first) I ended up breaking one of them so be aware. Ordered box of 30 from Amazon.
- take your time. All in all probably took hour per door.
