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

2024 trd sport 4x4 with an icon stage 6 and fuels on 35 ridge grapplers

 

Make sure to take the speaker out and put dampener behind it. Also would recommend covering the mounting area where the speakers screw in to the door panel. I did this to my truck.

New toolbox

 

thats a funny looking 3rd gen

 

Added Homelink for garage door & gate opening by changing out rear view mirror & doing no wiring.
Took 5 min w/ Torx 20. Used Toyota PT374-00210 rear view mirror that was about $135 shipped. Easy upgrade if your trim came without homelink. Fitment showed it’s used on RAV4 & other new Toyotas, but the mirror fits great in Tundra cabin. The mirror overall shape is about 10-20% larger than stock, its wider so view is better perspective than old one. Seems to me was able to be adjusted higher/tighter to sunglass console than original mirror - good for taller drivers. It has lithium battery good for to +10 years. It is still manual dim - so doesn’t have auto glare. I was ok as that was unnecessary with the rear tint already installed. Simple mirror swap gaining newer prism frameless style mirror adding homelink with no wiring.

Is this mirror different than the ones that are used for the rear view camera(digital rear view)? I have an SR5 and that one looks pretty sharp! Wondering if it's a straight swap with the basic SR5 mirror

 

Definitely the plan! Testing some new speakers later today and will get some deadener inside the door and under the speaker adapter.

 

Reading is hard...if only the thread had a title explaining what it was about...

 

Anyone used PPF on the front fenders? Worth it?

 

Yup the whole front end and half the hood with Xpel PPF.
Toyota has been know for front end paint chipping.

 

Thanks!

 

What's the coolant level cold. I popped my hood one day and nothing wad in the tank. Warmed up the engine and levels were at the low line?????

 

I got the Viofo A229.

I bought the Dongar 5-pin Type A adapter for the map light. Made the install super easy. It took a little less than 30 min. Although I still have to install the rear camera, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to mount it.

I bought my camera on sale for $160 on Amazon.

I've read too many stories about fake Dongars from Amazon, so I ordered it directly from their site.

 

Please show a pic of it installed.

 

Small update today. G lock nite ize carabineer and ajt fob with a little Paracord. A 1 beer project.

 

There is a whole 3rd gen on rear view mirror upgrades I just saw. Look at post 58# for some good pics. Here are few bad install pics my kid took tonite.

 

No, this is just a Toyota homelink mirror upgrade without having to do any wiring that fits very easily.

 

Spa day

 

My coolant level was low. I told my dealer and he said, "well there's a range". Then I explained that I've seen coolant on the top side of that fake skid plate thingy and that's when he said, "oh maybe we should take a look at that then".
If you can't see any when cold then it's too low

 

Very nice and thanks for the heads up! I just ordered mine. What did you hear about the dongars?

 

Hello Degausser. Rear spoiler looks great. I want to add to my Lunar rock. Where did you run the wiring for the 3 red lights? Thanks

 

I used this Rave Off-road harness. Click the drop-down and select "Plug and Play Harness Only." It plugs in to either of your tail lights.

Follow this video for install.

Thank you. Did you run the harness inside with the factory harness going through the tailgate or did you run it like the video? Think there would be a pinch point there.

 

I ran it just like the video with no issue

 

Thank you.

 

Yes. I have the entire hood, front fenders, all flares, front headlights, painted areas in front, mirrors, rocker panels all the way back to rear bumper. Worth it imo.

Legend PPF, self healing, hydrophobic, and backed by a 12yr warranty.

 

I love the paracord on this.

 

I have the same camera installed and I used the 2” version of the following. You pull down the weatherstripping at the top of the rear window and it sits in there. Doesn’t affect the operation of the window at all.

Finally got my camper shell installed. Had them re-seal the shell on my Gen 2.5 while they were at it.

 

Added a strip of gunsmoke Lamin-x to the light bar. The clear glass and reflection off of it against the dark grille was driving me crazy. Light still comes through nicely.
