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

Haven't "done" it yet, but I just picked up a brand new Fab Four hidden winch mount last weekend from @JohnnieBoy (who is an awesome individual BTW). Spring black Friday sale at HF just picked up this to mate with it...

 

Installed the rave grill with running lights and rave light bar. I tied the marker lights into the fuse box but still need to figure out how to run the light bar into the Fuze box for power and use the 5 wire trd light bar switch. Any help help in sending me to the clearest direction on how to run this would be great.

I felt shorted when I got my trd 3" lift UCAs and they didn't have the TRD markings on them so I put some caliper stickers on them.

I installed the black letters on the tailgate vs opting for it as an overpriced option from the dealership.

Got this carbon fob case which makes this cheap fob actually feel kind of nice.

 

Removed the bullshit oem footwell lights and installed some proper footwell lights. Will do the rear next week.

 

Just went through this myself. I surmise your grille light bar didn’t come with a relay switch, correct? That would be the easiest way to power up the bar.

If it didn’t come with a relay, you can purchase one off Amazon for like 10-15 bucks. Plenty of credible YouTubers have videos powering up the light bar.

Just finished up the grille swap. While I had it all apart; I added DRLs with amber turn signals, OEM marker lights, light bar, a 20” lower light bar, and DD amber fogs. Crappy pics, but you get the point. My buddy said the damn thing looks like a Transformer.

 

Getting mine done next week for $515. All 6 windows with ceramic. Was wondering if that’s a good price but after reading what some people pay I’m guessing it is.

 

Yea if that includes windshield that’s a real good deal! The place I took it too charged 250 alone for the windshield, so 515 is definitely a solid deal for ceramic.

 

Yep I was rocking 35's on a 0 offset wheel with no lift. That required minimal fender liner trimming but most importantly had to remove that large chunk of metal in the rear of the front wheel well behind the fender liner.

 

Getting it serviced, recall fuel line, seat extender replaced. Got a letter for second fob but I already have it was trying to get a 3rd but no go.

 

Inserted Toyota heritage grille inserts, applied Spigen screen protector, and secretly built seat ejectors and rockets (I’m good friends with 007). Seriously though, I couldn’t stand the two blank buttons so these cool stickers are fun.

 

Tuffskinz FTW!

Looks so much better than factory. Presents a more finished look.

 

Okay….. how do I get stickers like that!??

 

Joycourt novelty stickers, Amazon

 

Just got my tundra & had got some tint
coming from a 2022 Tacoma TRD Offroad

 

Got my TRD amber marker lights and Diode Dynamics light bar hooked up to their own CaliRaised switches. I previously had the marker lights tied to ignition, but I wanted more control.

Several videos online have guys running the harnesses through the cowl, but I ended up zip tieing it to the bottom of the cowl instead. Didn't want to mess with getting too close to the wiper arms, etc. A little less clean but everything is up and out of the way.

 

Wondering if the factory plugs for the foot well lights are there in the trims that didn’t come with them?

 

Easy enough to check. Just pull out the passenger side top panel and take a look if the wiring is there. I say the passenger side because it’s slightly easier to pull out.

Nice foot well lights! Were they direct replacements for the oem’s or did you have to do something special (relay)?
Also, could you please tell us where you got them?

 

Hope this thread isn't just about "upgrades"



Didn't get as dirty has my buddy's 2nd gen but still got a lot of mud on my steps and undercarriage with a few scratches here and there. I'm gonna have a hell of time cleaning...

 

Get some 0 offset wheels and AT tires and try it again. I am sure you can get just as much mud on yours with pokey wheels!

 

Let's see those pics!

They are from VLEDs. Not direct from plug in replacements, but pretty close. They sell pigtail kits that clip on to the factory wires. Pretty easy to install.
Here are the ones used for the front. Color is 5500k pure white

And for the rear I ordered these… I’ll upload pics of rear once I get them installed

Also orders 2 6ft cables for connecting the rear to the front lights and a 2 way adapter to connect the 2 rears together.

 

Which recovery points are those on the front?

 

1 - Price, Service, Fit and use. All are great. I have one in my Taco as well. It is great for knees and for keeping stuff in place. They look great but you can still throw dirt and mulch in the bed. Just wash it out.
2. / 3. /4. The dividers are one 2X6X12 kiln dried fir cut in half, cut to size per the dimensions in the manual, and then trimmed to fit (about another quarter inch) for the bedrug thickness. I just cut it 1/8th inch at a time and checked the fit. Keeps them nice and snug. I used 6-inch height as I put fishing rods in the back. The holes (4-inch holes saw) are for weight reduction and additional tie-down/pass-throughs. The front and rear are identical. See pict of the final result. I rattle-canned them with Rustoleum truck bed spray and added hardware.

I really like those, might have to build a set myself!

 

Plugged in the Pedal Commander. Works very well the TTV6 in my opinion. Obviously, it does not make more power but it is nice to have the gas pedal function exactly the way I want it to.

 

Nytop makes some really good ones also
