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

Dropped off the Tundra yesterday for the new engine. They told me it should be done by Saturday.

They gave me the Taco as a loaner. This thing is not built for anybody over 6ft haha.

 

Dropped off my truck to get the engine replaced, as well as getting some other little things looked at, and they gave me a ‘24 4Runner as a loaner. I’ve been a passenger in one before, but never driven one. Wish they gave me a new one so I could drive the new power train. I miss my truck already - this thing is gutless and gets the same mileage as my truck on e-load 35s lol.

 

Awesome neighbor, looks great

 

I was offered a Taco or a Tundra...took the Tundra. Wife wanted me to get the Taco but I've sat in the prior gen and figured it was just as bad....she's 5'1 so it would fit her perfectly. lol

 

decided I didn't like the $129 GST non-optional "option" black tailgate inserts. came off so easily it's like they didn't want to be on there.

 

Ordered and installed some Tuxmat mats for my 1794 Limited Edition. The provided Velcro clips and slide in clips really made for a nice, tight install. The mats that came with the truck are nice because they have the 1794 LE branding on them put they never covered all the carpet and plastic like these do. Very happy with them so far!

 

LE mats looks really cool. Never seen them before.

 

those are some cool looking seat covers. what are they? i'm not going back through 300 pages to see if you posted on them!

 

They are oem for the 1794 limited edition, includes the seat back saddle style bags

 

Thank you. That makes them really expensive seat covers.

Appreciate the info.

 

I parked along side an LE and got to chat with the owner and look over the truck. I like what they did with it, from the door emblems being unique to the interior.

 

Use a dongle. Can plug it to the oem plug in the roof.

 

Looks better without the insert imo

 

That loaner is fugly

 

How long do the motor swaps take? I imagine some people can rack up some miles on a loaner.

Edit: Helps if I read the details in his post about the swap, lol.

 

Looks good to me

 

Took 3 days. I was limited to 100 miles per day on my loaner

 

I was wondering. Thanks for the info

 

I went to install some LED bed strips today. Wanted to tap into the tailgate LED based on your posts. What I found was slightly different. I have a small red wire instead of a small blue wire. A large blue wire in place of your black and white wire. And a large pink wire in place of your green wire. I assume they're all the same minus the colors. I didn't like the options I had to tap into them. How specifically did you splice into these wires?

 

Traded in my 23 SR5 TRD OR short bed for a brand new 25 1794 with a 6.7 bed.
Love everything about the 1794 inside and outside. So does the wife. Especially the power running boards as I just retired and as I age they will come in handy.
Added bonus is not having to wait for an engine replacement that keeps getting pushed out further as it is in the final build grouping for replacement.
I want to travel extensively this summer and the engine replacement was like a monkey on my back!

 

Very nice!
Where did you order them from?

 

Tuxmat but Amazon got them back in stock shortly after I ordered them as well.

 

Looks just like mine!

 

I need more on this. How does one find said dongle? Right now I just have an ugly wire going all over the dash.

 

I did something similar down the middle, as that was my primary glare issue, using plastidip. Don't have any great photos on hand, but here's one that kind of shows it:

 

I believe this is the unit I've seen referenced here before:

$43 Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (10-pin Type B). Compatible with Select Toyota, Lexus, Subaru Models. Connects to Rearview Mirror, Built-in USB Power Source, Easy to Install

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BH4G1NW/?coliid=IMCTWK3S0382C&colid=29LBUEVHQSP61

Currently showing unavailable.
Give it a week or two and I bet it comes back in stock.

 

Closer to completion

 

That thing looks legit!

 

Where did you get the door window frame panels with holes it it? Looks like a different version of Mole panels.

 

Get some colored PPF so you have rock and UV protection.
