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

Added the Beat Sonic plug and play mini amp to the average sounding JBL system.
This thing does not disappoint and a truly simple install. Sound is so much crisper and the bass thumps pretty good and now I don’t need to crank the volume to 55!
Thanks to all on the forum for their recommendations.Easily the most bang for the buck I have spent on a mod so far and Beat Sonic had a 15% off cyber sale to boot!

 

Took her work yesterday. Loaded down with tools and materials. Was a little disappointed with the reduced size of pretty much everything inside and out. The rest of the ride was great. Went Christmas tree hunting in the mountains today. Tested out the new off road features and was very impressed. Seemed to lack a little suspension travel but everything else was awesome!

 

Almost forgot I turned off the world’s most obnoxious seatbelt chime with Carista. Does anyone know if they work for multiple vehicles? If so, I’ll be helping out every 3rd gen owner I know.

 

Yes you can use it on any other tundra, as well as many other males and models. It's not tied to any specific vehicle.

 

Thanks for sharing! Cyber sale is down to 10% now, but still going on. I just ordered mine based on your post. Appreciate it.

 

I got one sitting at home as well. Going to install it after the dealer replaces my sub!

 

You'll like it. I've had mine for 6 months now. No complaints, hasn't skipped a beat

 

you got any pics/info/part numbers of harness for the fog light to split power and power the amber markers? I cant stand mine being on 24/7

 

This will connect to the wire that would be going into the fog, giving you a split connection. You can get away with just that splitter, and cut one connection off and wire directly to the amber marker wires.

Just to note, the green wire on the OEM connection is positive, white will be ground. You can only plug the actual fog light connection in one direction, so plug the splitter in accordingly.

I didn’t want to cut the splitter, so I just bought

$8 iJDMTOY Pair H11/H8 (Male) to 9006/HB4 (Female) Converter Adapter Socket Wiring Harness Kit

this to cut that connection off, and added an in-line fuse to make myself feel better lol. Not necessary, IMO. But with everything costing ~$25, I said why not.

My truck is getting PPf’ed as I type this, so I can’t get pictures now. But I can when I get it back next week, if you still had questions.

 

good deal. thanks man

 

Digging the way those tires look with the stock Platinum wheels, might have to copy you.

 

Had big plans to lift and swap out wheels and tires. Saw the dealer owners truck and liked the look. Put the caliper covers on, swapped out the center caps and put the tires on-I like the look. Had a lift kit ordered and cancelled since it will live in my garage and with the 35's and the auto steps it works for me.

 

Finally got around to post some mods to our new Tundra (2023)
Added ARE cover with windoors - excellent
Tinted driver and passenger front windows
Added slide out for cycling obsession
Added Yeti goal zero tied to 30a
trailer harness.
Still working on upgrading seal cab/cover and want to black out grill and bumper.
Finished first run on seal today 24 Dec 2023 - will test tomorrow!

 

Nice mods.

 

Had some Dobinsons installed, appreciate @ToyoMafia hitting me with the recommendation.

 

I love the Klevers. Those 35s?

 

Yessir!

 

How does it sound? I don't need it to shake peoples butts in the car next to me, just mine

 

Makes it fuller/louder. Nice little extra bump

 

Did you need to install bed stiffeners? I know they make them for the Tacomas, not sure about Tundras.

 

They do make them for the Tundras

 

Now that a few owners have went with the Beat Sonic amp and had some time to experience the difference I have a question:

I'm sure folks were looking for better sound but are you really happy with the end result? I'm not trying to knock the amp, but want to justify if its worth it. Or do you think you will look for more volume/bump by installing a more powerful sub amp/door speakers setup?

 

Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Easy install. I went through many reviews, which were positive, before I pulled the trigger. What I will say is that I don't think I need anymore power-amp definitely works. Some of the reviews I read thought that it increased clarity but I am not sure that is the case-maybe its me. Does it sound good-I think so (best stock system that I have had). They, Beat Sonic, I think don't recommend changing or upgrading speakers (?) but think if you wanted to you could and probably enhance the "clarity". I am standing pat on this one for now (not changing speakers). I think this an easy do it yourself mod that does exactly what is advertised and keeps me from spending a lot more on modifying the entire system. My 2 cents.

 

Thank you @Hunter1699 - I prefer a little bump in the stereo setup and Toyota's volume level stinks on these JBL systems. I may go with Beat Sonic amp then add an external amp and sub bypassing the factory amp and sub. Appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.

 

Took it in to get my 2nd key fob, brake ECU, and label recall done. My dealership still didn't have a clue on when the temp fix for the fuel line recall would be there, which was no surprise.

 

Falken wildpeak AT3W 275/65/20 and an alignment after

 

Great to hear. Im getting mine delivered next week. Hoping to get some clarity, more vocals, and tad more bass out of the back. Currently back sub sounds like it's off. That should hold me over until there is a harness setup for the JBL 2023 tundra then I'll do the full system.

 

looks good. I have same setup but 285’s. Curious, would you post your alignment specs? I’m going in tomorrow for alignment for the 3rd time. I can tell the camber is off by just visually looking at the front of the truck (wearing outside edge of brand new tires). Thanks!

 

Just received a bulletin on this yesterday, they have kits being sent out for the interim repair. No part number developed for ordering bulk quantities yet, but things are progressing. For those wondering!

 

That's great! Everyone can thank me for taking mine this week before it was ready. Had I waited to get everything at once the kits wouldn't be ready for a few more months lol
