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

best wheels out of the new gen imo, but then again i'm a little biased lol

 

For the 20" oem, absolutely. Been eyeing them since I saw the first pics of the TRD sport. The grey platinum rims are too similar for my taste to MGM and these are black + oem so win win. I've seen black powder coated platinum rims on ebay and those would've been a good option too.

 

Whoa... that's SWEET!

 

Did you disarm or just install the vinyl like this?

 

Had my new Retrax MX installed on my 1794 Wednesday - little morning dew and tremendous fit and finish - highly recommend.

 

Love those Rhinos

 

Had the grille mustache wrapped in satin black and got it tinted all around. Will plasti dip all the emblems over the weekend.

 

How much bed space do you lose in the front and side to side? Side to side, it looks like you lose very little.

 

Sparks has new mustaches pieces that they send out for oem paint. Not cheap. I would like to paint my silver ‘stash super white to match like a trd sport. I already ordered the bumper panels.

 

It’s super white.

 

My lasfit 22” lightbar + harness is in today! 3 hrs later…

 

is that smoked mesquite? Hard to tell from the pics. But if it is I am curious to see how the emblems turn out. Are you going to do the window trim as well?

I have a smoked mesquite hybrid coming later this month. Can't wait and will be interested to see how you modify as I will be in the same boat. Looking good so far!

 

Looks great, thanks for sharing! Was there any extra hardware other than the wiring harness needed? That's exactly where I'm thinking of putting my ambers.

 

What mounting brackets did you use???

 

Thanks! It is the smoked mesquite, color of the truck is better than I expected and loving it. Yeah, I’ll wrap the window trim and the door handles.

 

Loving this truck!
Added the Undercover Flex cover today. Simple and easy install. That bed mat is a stall mat from Tractor Supply that I cut to fit. I've got a board under it, that's why the 'wave' in it.


Added the Go Rhino RB20 Slim steps last weekend. Thanks to @SantanaRealtruck for the help with discounts on steps and cover.

Installed relations race wheels rr7h
Bfg km2’s

have some nice trd offroad stock wheels and tires up for grabs now!
I like the offset and color on these wheels
I have some method nv305’s from my 2021 and while I like them, the bronze on the new wheels is more to my taste

 

You have to buy the harness separately from lasfit. It came with everything O needed. I used the pre tapped hole on the inner fender by the battery to mount the relay. It doesn’t come with instructions, but there’s a diagram available online. I ran the wire through the rubber plug in the firewall, and used a coat hanger to pull it up from behind the battery. There’s enough wire to mount the switch on the driver’s side. I’ll post more pics.

 

I pulled the wire down a bit to show where it’s at. I had to remove the kick panel on the passenger side to access the rubber grommet/plug.

 

I just wish I had small enough hands to swap out these damn amber halogens. I really don’t wanna take the headlight assemblies out or the front end off again. This dude on YouTube, Mark, said it was easy, but he must be a pro contortionist as well as a vinyl wrapper.

 

Okay! I found a way! I take out the air filter housings. Super easy..

I used to the front facing mounts. The others were for top mount. Which didn’t align properly. Basically the light bar has to be vertically and horizontally centered on the aluminum crash bar to be aligned with the opening in grill.

 

Wow, really appreciate the pics and info! Awesome stuff, this will save me some headache for sure

 

TRD tail pipe section is on.

looks great. I did not think that there would be a exhaust note increase but there is. There is also a slight drone at 40-45. Other than that I like it.

 

How’s the stepping surface of those RB20 slims especially in the back. Is it easy to use steps to get out of truck back there? I’m leaning toward the slims as well but don’t want to prioritize aesthetics over function since my son will need them to get in and out. Thanks.
