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

Huge upgrade.

 

At some point my wife is going to make me put something back on. If I add a lift some point might come quickly.

 

Looks 1000% better!!

 

Not today, but close enough.

Bilstein 5100's at position #4 (+1.8")
Stock height in rear. Unsure if I'm putting a 1" Cornfed spacer on the rear coils.
DX4 Capers, 18X9 +12
Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT, LT285/75/18, E load.

Sorry about the turned wheels in front and the downhill driveway.
It sits perfectly level.
Poke is just the tire bulge. Outer edge of tread is flush with the fender.

Likely going to power wash the "white letters" off.
*edit* DONE. They look much better black. Will update some pics with the final stance/"look" once the 1" rear coil spacers go in. But the center caps turned out good. See other thread in Wheel and Tire: "Fun with aftermarket center caps."*/edit*
Failed experiment on the white letters. They're tire marker and not happy with how they turned out.
Already fading.
Cooper didn't offer this size in white letter.

 

Looks amazing - did you wire the marker lights to always on? Or did you use some other solution to tie them to the DRLs? I am looking at doing exactly what you did with my '25 Platinum but want the marker lights to turn on and off with the running lights - I'm deep in several threads on the site but still haven't stumbled across a great answer yet.

 

If you pull out the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel, there are plugs that plug in to the switch blanks, unused. Start checking wires there & you'll find power when running lights are on. They are tiny wires, but you can get power for your marker lights there.

 

Just got my front windows tinted. Looks much better.

 

Picked up a scratch and dent Decked toolbox. Loving it so far.

 

Westcott Designs 3/1 installed with Toyo Open Country R/T 37” tires with some minor cosmetic surgery for them to fit. Rides great. Had been wanting to do this upgrade and extremely happy with the results.

 

The plastidip on the emblem is a couple weeks old and I'm still digging it.


Truck got a bath this morning.


And I got my first rock chip.

 

what was the size of the garage this happened at? I’m driving to the airport tomorrow it’s 7'8" im stock hoping it’ll be fine

 

You'll be more than fine at anything 6'8" and over

 

1st dash cam. Pretty happy with it so far. Vantrue n4 pro and Dongar pro adapter

 

Installed my RCI HD bed rack

 

I used a 7 to 4 pin adapter and ran power from the trailer harness. No cutting or splicing factory wires.

 

Just sold my 2011 crewmax and I’m already missing it lol but I must say I’m loving this 2025. I’m happy I was able to get the limited TRD pro, based on my research that seemed to be the best one for me. Wish it had the sun roof and TRD lift package but I can live with that. Can’t wait to get out and drive today.

 

I'm more than a year into mine and I still feel the same way! Sweet truck!

 

Proper wash inside and out today with my little helper who loves the truck just as much as I do.

 

My guy drying the door jams yesterday. He is learning that a nice truck stays nice when it's cared for.

 

Got some Cali raised step edition sliders put on!

 

Very nice.

 

Had LLumar Ceramic CTX 15% tint installed all around with Ceramic Infrared AIR 80 on the windshield.
Installed a Amazon bed step and TripleAliner bed mat.

 

What's the weight capacity of that bed step? And nice set up!

 

Thanks, 300lbs.

Awesome thank you - did you add a fuse between the trailer light circuit and the marker light or did you wire directly & rely on the truck's fuses?

 

Apparently, I like to live dangerously, so I took the Tundra out for a 4100 mile road trip without the engine blowing up.

Some thoughts, in no particular order or topic:

1. I averaged around 17 mpg, with a best tankful of 20.5 mpg, and the worst of 14.5 mpg, carrying about 600 lbs of payload, with average speeds of 80-90 mph.
2. The truck is limited to 108 mph, and it still had plenty of power reserve at that speed. Pity the tires are what limit it.
3. The engine is a gem of a powerhouse. I do miss the old V8 burble, but its own turbo whooshes and smoothness make up for it in a big way.
4. Stability is great at high speeds, with no wander or float, and it tracks very well in stiff crosswinds.
5, The transmission temperature is steady at 194F while cruising, 198F at triple digits, and hit a high of 215F powering up long mountain passes over 11,000 feet.
6. The maximum fuel flow rate I saw was just shy of 10 gph.
















8. Did I mention that the engine did not blow up?




It is not perfect, however. The truck is still newish at around 14,000 miles, but there is a faint rattle from the right front door or the right side of the dash that I need to chase, and the differential does have a barely perceptible whine at around 80 mph that I will keep an eye on for the duration of the warranty at least.

 

Nice!

 

Which mfg. window vents do you have? How do you like them? Front coverage OK where they taper down? It looks like the rears are much longer than they need to be.

 

These vents are by APILT. I agree they seem to be too long at the rear, but they go to the edge of the rear door, past the window as you observed, and work very well at speed with no added wind noise.

 

FOX 2.0 set with coil over added to front and shocks for rear. Measures at a gain of 2.25" in front without alignment or settling. Measurement show rear is slightly higher but not eye test. With air ride in high position looks better. Have not made adjustments to rear yet. Going to move linkage to highest, if that doesn't help will install Westcott linkage.
