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

Doll baby? Great looking truck btw.

 

Added the OEM TRD Pro Hood [Fake] Vents. First time placing them I kind of F'ed up a bit and had to reposition...bit trickier then one might think. Used the adhesive only, no drilling. I guess my comment for others would be just be a bit patient. I was however able to lift them off with some force and reposition. That adhesive is tacky! Hopefully they stay on. Cold up here so I heated the hood up a bit with a heat gun, then the vents before placing. Then added an 8lb weight in certain spots to apply some pressure for about an hour. Here is hoping they do not come off ripping down the highway !

I love the look of these things, even if they provide no real benefit other than aesthetics.

 

Not Dolly baby, it’s a forest road by Bray Creek, near Whispering Pines.

 

I need to get up there again, I've passed it on my way to clear Creek and always think about stopping but never do. Some beautiful country

 

Heres The VLEDS with VLEDS Frame and the connection.

 

Diamondback HD installed today been waiting for the snow to melt

 

Decided it was time to finally wire up the grille light bar and get it working since it was too cold to mess with the day I did the TRD Pro grille swap.

After about an hour of messing with that 10-mile long relay harness with its God-forsaken super stiff wire and trying to find a path to hide the switch leg into the cab, I cut off about 2' of the end with the light bar plug and threw the rest of that crap away. Quick trip to AutoZone for a wireless relay box, and now I have the light bar working with a Homelink mirror button. Easier, faster, and simpler. Done.

 

Last weekend, I installed the Westcott collar lift paired with the longer TRD shocks and mounted a new set of wheels and tires on the truck. I went with 17" Fifteen52 Range HD wheels in Magnesium Grey (zero offset), wrapped in 315/70/17 BFG KO3 tires.

I debated a lot on tire size. My 2022 had 37" KM3s, and while I loved the look of the larger tires, they were honestly pretty impractical for my daily use (no disrespect to the 37" crowd!). I’m excited to see how the KO3s perform. Even just driving around so far, the truck feels way more balanced and responsive with the "smaller" tires.

I also added Rockblokz mudflaps and the Westcott tire clearance kit to complete the setup. Looking forward to putting it all to the test!

PS - My son is finally old enough to actually help me with the installation. That was a special moment! He was more useful than my wife when reinstalling the LCA spindle bolts!

 

Looks great! I just got the a new PRO grill and will be doing the same.

On my 2022, I had the twin air compressor installed on under the right passenger seat (I made my own bracket) and installed an air tank too. It was great! However, I don't know that I want to put it under the seat again. How was the install using the SQHD kit? Would you buy it again?

 

Button is the OEM drivers side, harness I got from Garrick Vanderwal, don’t know if he is on here, but he is on Facebook

 

Iced down the whip. Used Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic. This stuff was very easy to use.

 

Do you have a part number for the button, i cannot find it. i'd like to order online.

 

I have wrap my calipers today with a reflective red vynil, looks unreal at night.

 

They almost look like they are glowing red hot! How does the vinyl hold up to the brake heat??

 

Yes, vynil is for high temperature

 

Assembled and installed a Smartcap EVOa

 

Here it is 84945-0C01 for the button, u will also need 81568-0C160 (this part will need to be modified)

 

What lift and tire size are you running, looks perfect for oem+ keeping the front mud flaps.

 

This is a great looking set-up!

 

Factory Lift, 285/65R20, Toyo Open Country ATIII.

Even though Toyota states that sized tire wont rub, they rub on the sway bar... I believe the TRD OR wheels have a different offset as compared to the typical factory wheel. I may try throwing on a small spacer to see if that helps. If not, maybe I'll change wheels down the road when these tires wear out.

 

Good to know. I have the nightshade 20s/stock tires and want to step down to 18s, and I'm also installing the trd front sway bar this week so thats good info about the bigger size tires rubbing. Could always throw some spacers on.

 

Decided to take the Blazer module back and ordered the Garmin PowerSwitch instead....I just couldn't resist the lure of using the truck screen to control stuff in Android Auto.

 

I installed the Fitcamx dash camera this weekend. Have an issue getting the smaller piece of the cover snapped back on, but I gave up knowing it would be coming back off once I get the cable to plugin to the OEM connector. Also not having much luck getting the rear camera cable hidden along the rear window.

 

I'm going to do a paint correction this Spring and try Adam's AGC too.

 

My installer said it wasn't too hard and it looks really good. It is a well made kit.

 

Spread my cheeks and paid for my reg renewal. $796

 

where do you live ??!!!!

 

I’ll give you a hint….

 

Toyota OEM recovery points and Talon’s garage catalytic converter shield installed. Next month will be full front ppf, full vehicle ceramic coating, and window tint!

 

just one
