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

I bought a 4'x6' horse stall mat for $40 from tractor supply and cut 6.5" off the long side. 4' is a perfect fit between the wheel wells.

Even the smooth side is super grippy. The textured side is excessively grippy so it went down.

 

Noticed my lug nuts are rusting out. These are Gorilla brand and thought they were decent? Any suggestions for a lug nut that holds up better that are black in color?

 

O.E. wheels, right?
Why not O.E. lug nuts?

 

They were chrome and looked like doodoo. Wanted black. Forgive me I’m new here.

 

No worries. Not a big fan of chrome either.
Toyota does make them in black.

 

My Toyota black ones are holding up well. My black lug locks are not.

 

16.25 a piece from Toyota. Almost $400 before shipping for lug nuts is crazy town.
Any other ideas?

Yikes. Did not know that.
Crazy town indeed.

Search the Wheel and Tire subforum. "Black lug nuts" (If you haven't already.)
Someone must have come up with a decent alternative.

 

I installed VLED footwell lights today and they are so much better than OEM! I did a writeup on my build page quoted below if anyone is interested. They come on like normal setting for OEM footwell lights and also when the headlights come on!

 

I tried the 12V cigarette lighter Port for the first time today and it doesn't work. Popped the Accessory Fuse Box underneath the glove compartment and discovered the "Power Outlet No.1" Fuse Popped. Replaced it and the 12V started working!

 

Can buy a lot of rattle can black for that $$

 

And also added one of my OEM footwell lights to my glovebox that was missing in my SR5 trim since I had trim off and was already doing the upgraded footwell lights. I didn’t have a light for my glovebox but there was a spot for one so I used the passenger OEM light and the harness at that spot and extended it up to the glovebox. Now I can see what’s in there! Here’s my write up:

 

2 weeks ago upgraded my Qi charger to a dual unit I got from BeatSonic. Works great

 

I made an aluminum tailgate overlay with $44 of scrap aluminum from my local metal store. Once it warms up I’m going to add some marine foam so it’s flat yet doesn’t kill my knees!

 

Found some used OEM ones on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/1672706050...AfCWkk2Q2N9vkbm-4rnpBZqo3OO2_SJBoC9I4QAvD_BwE

Extreme Terrain has these as well. https://www.extremeterrain.com/tund...Up63WDpg8hVnp7Uzh4hoCivUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

thanks for taking the time to help! Just got the eBay ones

 

Always happy to help. I'm glad everything worked out for you.

 

I would imagine so. It's very grippy, but gently grippy....if that makes any sense. I keep a tool tote(s) in my bed, and it's hard to drag the crate so I got one with wheels. I'm sure your doggos would love it. They definitely won't slide around.

 

Went to big bear yesterday. Didn’t feel like washing the truck but it’s not going to rain this week so my son and I took care of business.

 

Like the clean and simple set up you have. Great truck

 

Looks incredible! Did you have to relocate the swaybar with the king setup? ie, using spacers, etc.

 

6" Readylift, Fox 2.5 Elites, Camburg UCAs, Black Rhino wheels, MT 35s

 

Looks good! How's she run and ride?

 

Somehow BETTER than stock

 

Transmission fluid change and external filter. Gonna have to order some oem clamps...those ugly things are killing me, but they're all I had.

 

wow, great set up!!! looks a lot like mine lol great taste!

Ordered an X2 27F, thanks to @PapaDave418 and his write up. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow and install sometime this week. I had my dual baja designs 20" bars on last night for maybe 20 mins....noticed that started flickering so I shut them off. Truck BARELY cranked over and fired up. Not going to play games with this battery, been a solid 3yrs but I cant trust it if it cant power some lights for 20 mins.

 

It's sad batteries aren't what they once were.

 

Drove 900+ miles overnight, so I could get to this. Truck was a dream to drive, even with the strong north wind killing mpg. Respecting this truck more and more.



250” in the U.P. so far. Love it!
