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

Which mesh did you use inside the grill? I like it.

 

Are they that bad? I was looking at getting the TRD grill kit from them. Thanks

 

you should sell those without the light cutouts lol

 

I’m running the rave front grill kit. It’s honestly pretty good quality. Wish the center bar light was a bit better also that it didn’t do a weird squeak plastic noise when I apply a decent amount of force to the grill but other than that I can’t complain. I’m happy with the purchase

 

Those lights could be used for counter or boost indicator!

Or each light could be used to count the number of engine replacements! But seriously, it is a nice addition and makes it unique.

 

I can make and sell a set for anyone who wants them (the inserts). I don't have time to manufacture the whole set for folks though. LMK if you're interested.

 

"Number of engine replacements." BWHHAAH! #ImDead

 

Boost counter idea is pretty damn good too lol

 

Got the TRD tailpipe. Installing this weekend

 

Are they off of backorder yet? Or have you been waiting awhile for it? Also is it the regular chrome or black?

 

It’s the black one. They are still on back order I think. I’ve had 2 orders canceled this year. My local dealer told me to reach out randomly and see if they can locate one. I reached out yesterday and they said they noticed 1 in stock at a warehouse in Houston. Got an email today saying it was ready for pick up. Came out to $268

 

Is it going to be pretty plug ‘n’ play? Keep us posted on whether it’s worth the wait and cost.

 

Thanks for the info. My dealer here is terrible and won't even give me any help or advice. They just want money and say "just pay us and we will get one as soon as possible." Might have to expand my dealer search...

 

My local dealers seem to be way more expensive then others across the country. I usually search online for part numbers and find dealers that run discounts and free shipping. I can usually find parts 30% cheaper than my local options.

 

Where are you at in AZ? We've got a parts guy at AutoNation Tempe that will get pretty close to the online prices of stuff. You just have to act like you're in the AZTG Facebook group and there's a decent discount he can apply.

 

Picked up a K&N cabin air filter for $40 on Amazon...reg price was $50 pn VF2080

 

Running boards and a Rough Country Tri-fold cover got her lookin’ like a snack

 

Like a snack!

 

I'm in Chandler so thats not far. I just ordered the TRD Pro billet UCAs from Serra Toyota of Decatur Alabama.. paid $244 for each with their discounts and free shipping. Compared to Big Two Toyota in Gilbert... quoted me $441 for each with local pickup.

 

Yeah Big Two isn't great... Talk to Chad at the AutoNation parts desk and mention AZTG and he'll get you set up with stuff. I'm working on a list of parts with him right now for the wife's rig.

 

Thanks for the recommendation! I called and spoke to him.. He is on par with what I can find online so that will be my new local source going forward. However, the Alabama dealer is running an October sale and I was able to save an extra 20% on the UCAs.

 

Glad to hear! He's usually right there on prices, but some sales prices are too low. I use him for all my regular maintenance parts on the 2018.

 

Bought a Diamondback Tonneau today for my new 24 Limited L
Sold my Tacoma and the Diamondback I had on that one.

Bought an Amazon organizer tray for the center box.
Got the amazon steps installed.

Waiting on winters and rims to show up.

Next will be a dashcam

 

Congrats on the new truck!

What else do you need for want for the truck?

 

Added a set of Rokblokz mud flaps, no more rubbing with the 35s, kinda spendy but excellent quality and look awesome!

 

ARB twins with SDHQ behind rear seat mount. Routed the switch and air output to the bed. It was a fun install, ridiculously pricey just for air but oh well.

 

Where are you putting it and which sub?

Replaced the crappy non-JBL 9 speaker system dash corner speakers with some Kenwood eXcelon DFC-X3C coaxial speakers. It's amazing how weak the factory speakers are, they are rated 10W at 8Ω. The Kenwoods are rated 50W RMS/120W peak at 4Ω. I order a pair of harnesses to make installation easy as I would have to otherwise tapped into the very short factory harness in the very corner of the window (Yikes).

Here's a pic of the new verses factory speaker. What you can't see in this pic is that the magnet on the Kenwood is about 3 times larger on the back of the speaker.

I bought this particular speaker because I read in the Audio/Video forum that it fits perfectly in a 2022+ Tundra. Well, that wasn't the case and although the speaker fit the space the bracket was too short and the holes for the mounting screws were about 1/2" off on each side. I fixed this issue by firing up my 3D printer and making a set of bracket extensions for each speaker. Just had to cut the end of the Kenwood bracket to keep it from blocking the new hole locations.

Although it took quite a bit longer than expected to do the install as I had to design and print the bracket adapters I'm overall very pleased with these speakers. Much more clarity in the high end and mid range of the audio spectrum. It also seems to have boosted the output of the door woofer speakers. I had to adjust back the bass a little. It seems the impedance difference in the corner speakers caused the other speakers to get louder. I still need to either replace or disconnect the center dash speaker as it is still factory and seems to be the exact same speaker that was in the corners. So it looks like the factory non-JBL Tundra 9-speaker system has 3 mid-range speakers in dash and no tweeters.

 

Washed and Ceramic coated the baby today. 4 hours. Ouch! Can you say back ache!?! But worth it!
