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

Finally got the goodies to get my radar detector installed. I've always used BlendMounts, but the mirror stem on this truck won't allow it. I'm very happy with this mounting setup.

 

SES. I would have to look but I think there was at least a 1/2" gap left. When I go over the large speed humps in my neighborhood they really make a difference. It is a really firm "catch" but not harsh at all if that makes sense. There's no wait for the suspension to react to the hit and return coming off the hump. I'm really looking forward to getting the camper on and seeing the difference they make.

 

Did you buy a special cable for the radar?

 

What mounts are those? And which detector?

 

Faceted edges. Now you are stealth!

 

It is the BulletPoint system with the Diablo magnet mounting base and nano arm. The detector is a Uniden R7.

 

Looks great. Did you paint or use overlays like Chrome Stoppers?

 

@lapoolboy: I installed the exact Rubigrid system setup recently. Having Blendmount experience as well, I was disappointed that there was no mirror mount solution. One question for you: from your photo, it appears you were able to route the RJ11 (phone style) connector thru a Rubigrid slot allowing you to hide most of the power cable underneath the Rubigrid. My Escort radar RJ11 connector is too wide to route thru a Rubigrid slot and the power cable is fixed to the 12v adapter which doesn't allow for routing thru from that end. How were you able to do that?

 

Maybe I have to adjust them, I did it about half the low beam as well. Thanks! Next time I’ll try and get a pic of current output

 

I ended up getting it painted. The price difference wasn’t too bad. They also de-badged for me and painted my bumper caps.

 

I used a 15" MirrorTap power cord I recycled from my last truck. I just drilled a hole in the forward wall of the tray to run the end of it through. It is tapped into power on the wire connector on the backside of the cigarette lighter plug. This is much cleaner and I don't have a big, ugly plug sticking out of the socket. Plus, this keeps the socket open if I want to use it for something else.

 

Yes, it is a MirrorTap cable.

 

@lapoolboy thank you sir..... perfect!

 

You bet.

 

Finally installed the TRD Pro flares. Tapped into the turn signal/DRL in front and used a diode dynamics 7-pin trailer harness with double output connectors for the rear. Was a major pain to get everything tucked away nicely and used deutch connectors all around for ease of removal if needed but overall happy with the results.

 

Just ordered the DiamondBack Switchback. Love there products.

 

Added the Bulletpoint mount for my phone and Redline radar detector. TRD Pro grill up next.

 

Lemme know how ya like the setup, I love it!

 

Pretty much same color:

 

DAMN YOU
I just convinced myself I don’t need these and here you go posting the same color I have with them and they look so good!

 

Dropped the truck off at the dealership to have the TRD lift installed, they gave me a Tacoma to use, sure is a small truck.

 

Which gen or what year?

 

2023

 

I made it white.

 

Finally got the 14in radio swap complete (sans volume knob) and found a dealer to do the VIN sync while I got my recall taken care of. Added the Spigen matte protector as well and very happy with the results.

 

just came back from montana to pickup new project m topper. FUN drive.

 

Got the TRD lift yesterday, before and after. Stock tires still. I’m still trying to figure out what tires to get, want to keep the wheels.

 

First oil change at ~1600 miles. Sending in a sample for analysis.

 

Wash and detail day.

 

Installed some awning brackets and a arb touring awning.
