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

It’s definitely a dance with the devil with the dealer and if something happens to the motor when it comes to warranty. I’m not scared though!

Also, I have to verify with AFE but the “stock” map seems to have improved mpg’s and drivability over actual stock. I’ll contact to see if anything was tweaked for that map

This is with 35’s and ~2.5 lift. I couldn’t break 15 driving Miss Daisy before

 

Verified, the stock setting is a stock setting

 

Finally took delivery this past Saturday and color matched the front trim on Monday. If anyone is interested in the dark chrome pieces, you may PM me. They were removed with 170 miles on them and basically in new condition.

 

Installed Go Rhino RB30 Slim running boards

 

Changed the center caps on my Method wheels



Check for sale section for the old ones

 

Looks great! I would love the dark chrome moustache but not too sure where you are located? I am up in Vancouver, B.C.

 

I sent you a PM

 

Thanks

 

Can spot that suspension linkage from a mile away.

 

I just had my CAT Shield installed!

 

I rolled out my Bed Rug into the 6.5’ box. I got the one with the tailgate protection as well. I still have to install the Velcro strips but it looks like a nice product.

Biggest thing to note is how little it weighs.

It has lived in a box all rolled up so I have some weight on it to help flatten it out.

 

it doesn't mess with the front sensors, they all work perfectly fine. i dont have a front camera so im not sure.

 

post pics once its in. I loved the bed rug on my silverado and Im considering it for this truck as well. I mostly haul soccer gear or stuff that can get scratched by the oem bedliner, so the rug would help a lot

 

Can we get some kind of a deal on ECP up here or we're just stuck with what Toyota.ca is offering?

BTW, I remember there used to be a Gold Plan too. Whatever happened to that?

 

Now, that's embarrassing.
I would but I have no idea how

 

Yesterday, I received my Diamondback 270 and installed it.

 

I like Diamondback a lot but for my needs there are only two options: tonneau with t-slot rails (like Retrax) and a rack over it (like KB VooDoo) or a canopy. Both equally expensive

 

It may be that you could add the pieces you want to make the DB cover work for you.

I am on my second cover (second truck with a cover) and have the Kayak racks installed and will be adding a set of cross bars for the bikes. You can do a-lot with these covers. DB also sells a ton of add ons and boxes!

 

I've been deciding the route to go with the Tundra for almost a year now. I have a cab height canopy on my Tacoma but wanted to go without it this time to keep camera and roll down window usable. For what I carry in the bed all the time the options are very limited so I just narrowed it down to these two I mentioned.

 

Installed oe marker lights for the heritage grill. Here’s everything I bought for the install

Installed a Talon's Garage Powder Coated carbon steel Cat Shield today weighing in at 38.6 pounds. Used a Craftsman ATV jack to position the Shield making it easy to install the tamper proof bolts:

 

Installed my Peragon bed cover between the rain showers. Seems to be well built

 

Got some 295/70/18 Cooper at3 XLT tires installed on my otherwise stock TRD OR. No rub on normal street driving, even with mud flaps. Very happy with these tires.

 

did the powder coat chip at all? We have a huge disclaimer but are not getting a ton of feedback so we are hoping that is good news!

 

I’ve got pics on my build thread, if you want to see it in use for the 3rd Gen. The pics are when I installed my swing cases, but you can see the bed rug. I really like it. First time I’ve used one and I’ve been impressed. It has this ability to make loading easy by allowing things to slide but they don’t slide around while driving/turning, if that makes sense. I’m sold on them.

I'm liking this bed cover. One question, what happens if there's a load shift from hard braking that moves cargo to the front of the bed? Do you have to crawl under it to shift the cargo back to open the cover?

 

Looking good. They look pretty squared up. Any chance you can post a shot at more of an angle to show how much the tires balloon?

 

I'm a satisfied customer!

Purchased Talons Garage Powder Coated carbon steel Cat Shield for a discount with possible powder coat issues as stated on their website. Before installation I inspected the shield only finding one small 1/4" powder coat blemish on the transmission side of the shield where it was bent in a brake before powder coating that can be easily touched up with black paint. The bottom of the shield is perfect as seen in my photo.

Could not believe how fast you shipped the shield. On the same week I ordered it, received it and had the shield installed. Your link with instructions were great. The fit was perfect and easy installation for this 67 year old in the driveway with the Tundra on ramps.

Been looking on your website, do you have a Cat Shield for a 2003 2.4L Base model Tacoma?

Thanks!

 

Hopefully this helps a bit. This is at about 40 psi. Less bulge than you would expect on a 7.5" wheel.
