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

Full front PPF, ceramic coat, running boards on, OEM bed step

 

Did you just order the unpainted ones? Considering that for my bumper and front mustache

 

I installed the Binize Wireless Carplay Android Auto 4G video box. This thing is great. I also dropped in the OEM bed mat that was delivered today. Things are coming along slowly. I just received the APA color matched Lunar Rock film to de-chrome the mustache. Contemplating whether or not to attempt the install myself or to have it professionally wrapped. I've never wrapped anything...but I am a DIY type of guy. Anyone have any pointers on wrapping the mustache? Lay it over and wrap or take the mustache apart and wrap? Or should I just have it professionally done?

 

I've got 10 of those extra brackets that go under the board. Ended up using the smallest ones when the next pack had enough mediums. I'd still be out there if it wasn't for youtube.

 

how big of a perfectionist are you? I’m pretty anal so will pay someone to wrap a project like that

 

Yup unpainted flat black looking.

 

Added some marker lights to the flares..

Always been a fan of lights on the side, ever since my first car was an ‘85 Monte Carlo with the park lights in the fender skirts.

 

Sweet Build man, love your lighting setup!

 

I would take it off to wrap it if it were me. If I remember right the lunar rock wrap wasn't really that expensive so if it doesn't work out you're not too much in debt. I'd watch a fair amount of youtube videos to build up your confidence and make sure to take pictures and let us know how it goes. I for one am very curious how it matches as I'm debating either wrapping or painting.

 

nice !!
Does she know she can’t make calls or text from her phone? Lol

 

I'd say I'm somewhat anal. I submitted for a quote and it ranged from $250 to $800 just to get the mustache wrapped. I'd rather just pay to order a paint matched set for high $700's than pay to have it wrapped for a price of $800.

 

I paid $122 for the wrap once all was said and done. It was like $72 for the wrap and $50 to ship. I've been watching YouTube videos on wrapping to see if I can tackle the project. I'm still debating on whether to do it myself or have it professionally done.

 

After another trip to CBI for more prototype work, we got the front bumper on and skids installed! The truck is looking pretty tough lately.

 

Hey evergreenoffroad, any idea what lighting setup your going to be running?

 

It's still up in the air at the moment. Always been a big fan of Baja Designs products, though!

 

Well if you decide to run our lights, I would be glad to help you out on your order.

Thanks Brandon! I'll shoot over an email right now =D

 

The truck I was waiting for months was delivered on Saturday. Although the dealer told me that they will throw different “beefier” tires (not wheels) and a tonneau cover in the mix, they never told me what tires or cover and certainly they didn’t tell that they would charge 10k for it. Besides the 3k for a GPS tracker and some Ceramic coating.

Although the market is crazy right now, I’m not going to play this “hey we don’t have any market adjustments” but then inflate price for accessories game and told them to F. off… will look for an honest dealer and wait a few months more…
Otherwise I would have installed a (Retax) tonneau cover…

 

Ridiculous, I'd be pissed. You should at least name the dealer.

 

That's pretty shady. I agree with in_the_mud. These dealerships need to be called out.

 

I was and in fact I still am... I did send my feedback to the General Manager of Toyota Marin (San Rafael, CA) and his response was: "Thank you for your feedback and good luck in your search for a new Tundra" or as I'd say "The fish stinks from the head"...

 

Funny you say Toyota Marin, we bought a Highlander Hybrid from them in March of this year and paid ~2k over for a GPS tracker (I asked them to remove it and they wouldn't, said it takes too long...I removed it in 5min when I got home) and the paint protection, they wouldn't take it off. Chalked it up as we needed a car so we went along with it because its exactly what the wife wanted. They got us hook, line and sinker though, drove 90 miles to get there with my 2 month old daughter...sucks. Certainly wouldn't pay a markup over what we paid though, 10k for tires and a cover is insane.

 

Yes, I would have paid for the GPS and paint protection, even if 3k is "a bit on the high side". The 10k for tires and cover send me over the edge. They probably would even have kept the stock tires and sold them to someone else... Anyway, there is no way I would want to do any business with such a company that isn't transparent about their "markups" and even tell customers "we don't have any markup"

 

Yup they advertised no markups too. I almost want to ship the BS Starguard GPS thing back to them with a steaming pile of poop.

 

Added some corner lights

 

Be great looking for moose and deer standing in the ditch waiting to jump on the hood!

 

These will hopefully be handy driving the back roads of PA where there are no lights anywhere and deer are plentiful.

 

Looking good!!!

 

Looks good, do you have any other angles of pics. Also are those the bedliner or black powder coat? Picking up mine tomorrow and not sure if I want the slims or full size.

 

I’d get the full size. I couldn’t imagine the slums have much stepping surface. And it’s the bed liner. Got ‘em for $500 here
