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

Grea point. Can you share what you have and where you got it from? Also shat do you use it for!

thanks

 

So are you planning on cutting the tonneau cover top to allow the bars to still mount to the OE bed rails? The RC Cover is similar to the OEM cover in that it uses an additional rail on the bed cap that allows the cover to “snap” into. I don’t see how you can mount the cover and the tent rails at the same time…even if you plan on never opening it. That’s got my curiosity piqued. Pics once installed.

To date, I’ve only seen soft, roll up style covers used with tent rails like that. Haven’t seen a hard cover used with tent rails yet.

 

I have the Bed Slide 1500CG. It pulls out and holds 1500 lbs extended (they say, doubt I'll test that). It comes with rails that go around the edges, but I don't care for them and didn't install. The two mini bins in the back are additional options, great for keeping stuff out of the way.

I have only used the Bed Slide product a few weeks on this truck, but like it so far. I had a Cargo Glide in my last 2 trucks. That is a nice product as well, but I'm liking the Bed Slide a little more thus far.

What do I use it for? Everything. When you can pull the bed to you, you will. I don't even load groceries without pulling it at least to the tailgate edge, lol. As a matter of fact, groceries are what turned me onto the product to begin with. About 20 years ago, I got my first truck and put groceries in the back the first week. When I got home they were everywhere and I said - there must be a better way. I haven't been without a slide since! I'm short and can reach the back of the slide from standing at the tailgate.

The biggest downside to the any type of slide is losing 4 inches or so of height under the tonneau cover. I find coolers and such will fit, but not gas cans and things of that size.

I bought mine from real trucks.com because they gave me the best price. I installed myself, it's only 4 riv nuts. I don't want to go into the weeds with this post, so message me if you go that route. Maybe I can keep you from drilling extra holes like I did

The last picture is the cargo glide in a Titan.

 

Billiebar website has a lot of info stating that these work with almost all covers including the hard trifold ones. RC is not mentioned, but I guess I will have wait and see when is arrives.

 

The "Decked" system looks cool, seems like they have their system ready for the 22s now (pic shows Gen 2).
Decked pull outs

 

Drove to portland last night to pick up an oem tonneau 6.5 bed. Gladstone Toyota had a crazy sale.. picked it up for $849 no tax. Was driving down to Oregon anyways to visit a family member who is having surgery. Killed 2 birds with one stone kind of trip. Installed it this morning. Took about 2 hours.

 

Just ordered a burger with a side of TRD filters, console safe and Hard Tonneau. Now somebody make a nice exhaust, down pipes and drop kit. Pretty Please?

 

Nice! My Diamondback cover comes on Thursday if I can believe the delivery notice!

 

Yeah if you are interested in KB Voodoo racks just PM me

 

Installed lower left dash switches to run my rear dust lights.
Detailed the steps on my build thread if interested

Installed my Go Rhino D6 and Autovent Shade window deflector

 

well done man, clean instal, looks factory

 

man, you gotta color match that stash, cost be damned, lol. would look a ton better and match all the nice rest of the truck.

 

Truck looks amazing! Too much dust in my neck of the woods for a dark color like that though.
Did you get the steps directly from the manufacturer? I've been trying to find some and various websites say nothing is available yet for the '22

 

Yes I went directly to Go Rhino. Shipping took a while though (about 3 weeks). https://www.gorhino.com/search.html?#!year=2022||make=TOYOTA||model=TUNDRA

 

Got my spare tire mounted up. Went with 295/70r18 on the 7" wide steel spare.
If anyone is curious the 35x12.5r18 is only a 1/4" taller than the 295. Went with the 295 on the spare because didnt want to buy another wheel lol. Diameter wise they are about perfect when mounted on the truck. Both come in about 34" when on the truck under load.

Toyo OC At3

35x12.5 measure out to be 34 1/2" tall under no load.
Tire Weight 67 lbs. (Load D)

295/70 measure out to be 34 1/4" tall under no load.
Tire Weight 64 lbs.


Fits really good and tucks away very nicely, barely visible from the back.

 

Good info thanks!

 

It’s the little things…Could not stand the glare

 

Looks awesome, do you have the link? Id like to do the same. Thanks!

 

I don't have the link but I got it off Amazon for my other truck and they sent two that time, so I just checked if it would fit and it did.

 

Lift and 35’s today.

 

what I have done: just put 2k as deposit in the dealership

 

other than that, is there any aftermarket drop-step for 22+ crewmax yet?

 

wheel specs?

 

I used it as God intended. Also applied some vinyl.

 

Swapped the Baja Designs XL to the S2. Much smaller profile. Doesn't vibrate or shake when on the road. The XL were just too heavy for the tiny ditch bracket. Excited to see how these look on the trail. Usually when i hit the trails I go early around 4 or 5am to avoid any crowds, these should do a good job of cutting through the early morning fog.

 

Did you trim the plastic part at all when you installed the bracket?

 

No left it off entirely for now. I'll trim it eventually and reinstall that trim.

 

New BFG’s and Tint installed today.

 

Westcott lift, 35” Nittos, and 20x9 Fuel Sledges this week. Feels like a completely new truck
