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

Yeah it’s a plastic washer to keep the skid plates from making the metal on metal squeaking.

 

Got the windows tinted with ceramic film. 5% sides and back, 45% windshield. Also installed Diode Dynamics fog lights.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Need to finish mounting subs, add grills, and tune everything with oscilloscope. Going to remove port and run it sealed for break-in, cu.ft. more on point with a sealed box.

 

This is so sick and makes me wish I didn't have a hybrid.

 

Not top of the line, but have used Skar in the past with no issues. Last truck I ran Rockford Fosgate, if I went with much better subs like JL or Rockfords I would have spent close to $2k on subs alone, too much for me.

 

Removed the emblems and decals. Now to find time to polish and ceramic coat the entire truck.

 

Wheel and tire combo are perfect, well done.

 

Ground-shaker.com sells boxes that fit the hybrid with very little modification to the truck. I have one running 2 shallow mount fosgates pushed with a Hertz mono amp and it sounds great.

Fox acoustics has a hybrid version as well.

Today is fifth day I've owned this Tundra.

I used the tailgate as a comfortable seat today.....had a cooler of bottle water and Powerade Zeros as a back rest.

I needed it, too. Yard work was not advisable ln the 90 degree--6,000% humidity....but it was the only spare time I had.

During one of those breaks I'd checked the mail and saw my new key fob cover had arrived.

The tailgate made for a handy workbench when adding grease to the weedeater's gearbox.

 

Was that 1794 style fob from dealer or did u buy a new cover?

 

It is simply a cover.

I used to be a goofball who carried around way, way too many keys on a keychain. Many of them I likely couldn't even remember what they went to.
As a result the constant contact with other keys would wear on my key fobs something fierce, occasionally depressing the buttons which wore the batteries out prematurely.

When I bought my new Tacoma in 2017 the issue was compounded with the big ol Taco key that had the integral fob.

Found a solution on the web....silicone to the rescue.

They are very responsive to the "contact us" feature where you can ask about customization

 

Nice set ups. Which G-Shock model is that?

 

The cheapest one I could find.

My job doesn't allow any type of watches, rings or loose clothing for safety reasons around the machinery.
I'd pretty much quit wearing watches, simply relying on cellphone.

There are times when I simply needed a watch. I wanted something durable, accurate and one I can read at 3:00am in the dark...without cheater glasses on. It would also need to survive the heat when left in my parked truck while at work.

GunMag Warehouse had 'em on sale late last year.


Evidently it does a pile of stuff that I've never tapped into....step counting and links with iPhone ?
I need to study up on the particulars.

 

As much as I like the factory mats that came with my truck....the coverage isn't very good.

I'll have the carpet worn down and embedded with dirt, debris and stains in no time.









This truck is my daily driver that will also have to be easily cleaned up for date nights.


I ran WeatherTechs in prior vehicles, but stuck with the factory mats in my last truck, 2017 Tacoma SR5.


Before ordering another set of WeatherTechs I wanted to first see what everyone's experiences are with current aftermarket versions.

 

I've been happy with these.

I went with Tuxmat based on recommendations from this site. Very pleased so far & coverage is second to none. We will see how they age. I’ve moved on from WeatherTech & have had Huskies before as well.

 

Same for me, Tuxmat fits my truck better than Husky or Weathertech fit in previous vehicles.

I’d recommend them to anyone!

 

I got my ceramic tint installed this am. 35% front and 50% back. Next I need to find a good bed mat and the right sliders. Also have to mount my Escort Max 360c and M2 dash cam via the blend mount that I have. Then need to figure out the best way to power them. In my Gen 2.5 I used a blend mount power tap kit into the rear view mirror connector but I see in the Gen 3 the connector doesn't plus into the mirror, but instead the mirror has a pigtail that plugs in elsewhere.

 

I power my escort with OBD2 adapter

 

Speakers mounted, not sure about the grills, the mounting holes are too close to the box seam for my liking, so I didnt mount them. Need to see what else is out there.

 

Turn them on 45's?

 

I thought about that, good suggestion though. Ill post up a pic once seats and trim are back in. Ordered a Steve Meade Designs DD-1 to tune, scope was being a pita.

 

Thank you, guys.

Looks like I'll have to wait on Tuxmats to reload their inventory.

 

They sit to high regardless, seats would not go down.

Everything is hidden as I wanted.

 

Installed dual 10's in my hybrid.

 

It got a wash because I just bought it last Wednesday and by the next day it was covered with dust and pollen. And yesterday we got mud rain which is always fun...I also removed the dealer license plate frames and plate from the front. Debating in removing the "SX" off the fenders...

 

I have the SX package, too (in white). Also have been debating taking off the SX decal. Let me know how easy it is if you decide to.

Also need to take off the 4x4 badge on the back.
