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

I installed catalytic converter shields today. I went with Cali Raised for these and I figured I'd post because I hadn't seen anyone here with them. Installation was super easy - took about an hour, and works well with the TRD skid plate.

I was a little worried that someone could slip a long blade through, but after installing them, I don't see how that would work. I live in Seattle and I feel _much_ better now about parking outside when I'm away from home. I also recently installed Go Rhino RB30s, which make it a little more difficult to get under the truck to begin with.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

Does anyone know if these these fit/replace the rear console cup holders as well?

 

Has anyone else had an issue with Code p2c9000? I called service and they said something about possibly a hose disconnected or the air sensors. It sounds like my S&B intake could be the cause of the code, but it had no issue for over a month after install. I don't see any hoses disconnected. Either way, I'm taking the intake out before I take into dealership. Has anyone had any issue with an intake tripping codes?

 

Can we see the RB30's?

 

Took it right on through a car wash and out the other side.

 

Better find a way to protect your gas tank too… had a friends get drilled while at work in Seattle…

 

Yep, here they are.

 

I saw my Army green brethren posting so I thought I’d share my recent upgrades.

OEM TRD running boards and Katzkin leather seats. This is my first post so I’ll post the progression. Just got this baby like 3 weeks ago and love it.

 

Also, the TRD running boards kind of remind me rb 20/30s

 

Painted the bumper caps. 4 coats of paint+primer looked kind of bad, so I added 4 coats of plastidip. Hopefully it holds up.

 

Painted my bumper caps too! MGM Dupli-Color rattle can from the auto parts store for $17. Sanded and the sprayed about 8 light coats. Also did the badge on the front. Turned out pretty good.

 

plastidip is amazing it will last. Did my front bumper in it and friend did his rims and they didn’t peel at all! Going on 2 years so far!

 

Just got this tattoo!

 

I didn't know your leg was a 3rd Gen Tundra.

 

Drove by a shiny building

 

In honor of my 3rd gen, even got a 3” lift added to my height.

 

Well that sucks! My AJT is literally being put in my mail box as I type this. I can see the postman now.

 

Cleaned it, not much but it made for a good Sunday

 

Where’d ya get those ?

 

Dropped it off for some bodywork to take a crease out of the roof where it caught a tree limb.

 

Any photos of how you mounted the rear camera?

 

I've been reading through the manual, and it does state that when it's wired in like it is, it does have a collision detector that wakes, records, and captures/stores it. Hopefully I don't find out if that works.

 

Received my AJT Cupholder today (wasn't in the mailbox like USPS said it would be yesterday), and found it very easy to modify my Cup Grip to fit.





The original issue is the center dividers in the AJT designs holder won't allow the Cup Grip to fit down in there.




I did a super quick (and not the prettiest cuts) mod with a box cutter (and appropriate safety gear) and made a couple of notches down the side of the Cup Grip. I didn't really measure or mark off the cut area, and just eyeballed it. I could have made it a lot cleaner with a Dremel and cut off wheel, or heated up the razor blade, but I honestly just didn't care that much, as it won't be seen.

I just cut down a little on the sides, and every so often used some needle-nose pliers to break away a small section at a time. Again, crude, but effective. I kept it as narrow as I could with fitting, so it would be a somewhat tight fit.

Works great, and now I can fit both my big water bottle without the Cup Grip, and my UGA Big Cup won't tip over any more with the Cup Grip.

Entire process took about 10 minutes.

 

I may have to bust out the Dremel and get after it.

 

Won't take you long.

All done with mine. For anyone that does this in the future, you can install the shift knob pin from the back to make it easier for future removals. EDIT: Scratch that. My pin fell out and down into the shifter boot, so I am headed back to put it back in the correct way. Nothing to capture it in the back.






Also added the AJT Designs Key Fob Cover.

 

Aaaand ordered a cup grip. Thanks!

 

Me too. I was about to pull the AJT cup holder out because of these exact issues. If this works, I will be pleased. If not, back to OEM I go…

 

Anyone contact AJT? They may be interested in feedback for design improvements.

 

I have an email and pictures drafted and am taking some measurements to send to them.
