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

Picked up a family toy.

 

Just grabbed it from the dealership. Took about 5 min. Super easy. The one screw from my SR5 piece was stubborn and very tight but it doesn't do a whole lot anyway.

 

Also if you want the two other small trim pieces to match on each side of the gauge cluster (Driver area, the part numbers are 55475-0C130-B0 and 55474-0C130-B0).

 

Nice trailer congratulations

 

This looks interesting. Does it now constantly yell at you that the windows are open?

 

I get the extra beep when I turn the truck off and the one notification on the app but that's it.

 

All these people complain about wind noise and you go and do this.

 

Ha definitely not driving around with them. I work directly out of my truck so instead of ideling all day I'm hoping this will keep me cool while working off the computer or making calls. I can only imagine how loud these would be on the road.

 

The tailgate switch add was with all OEM parts? Can you get me some more details on this? I was planning on buying the whole sequential taillight assembly from a higher trim level but this could be a much cheaper option. (Although the sequentials would be a nice add)

 

I got the harness from a guy who makes them but all the rest are all oem parts. 2 oem parts and one inline harness. All plug and play

 

Yes, please give the details on part numbers and where you found them for the tailgate switch. I haven't been able to find a wiring harness for it with the OEM parts.

 

The only two parts needed are
84945-0C010
81568-0C160
and the inline harness made by Garrick. He is working on his next batch now. So should be ready very soon.

Dang, no Facebook for me. Thank you very much on the info!

 

I don't have FB either just messenger I just used an account to find him on the link there and get the harness

 

According to the comments on YouTube (video link provided above) the harness can be purchased on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325947680149

 

yes when it goes live ... He activates the link. The FB post is to notify when his harnesses are ready. He makes his custom in Missouri. His are not the knock off ones from overseas.

 

Ceramic tint all the way around. Why it has taken me so long to do this on any of my vehicles is beyond me. Yesterday versus today same time of day. Taken after an hour of sitting in the sun.

 

Installed the rear footwell lights today

 

It appears the Bedrug covers up the LED bed lights? Is there a cutout already formed on the Bedrug, or is covering the lights simply a negative side effect of the rug? Great install by the way.

 

Love this. Well done, Sir!

 

How long is that thing? we also joined the hideout fam. Airbags go on soon.

 

Got a real spare tire installed 285/65R20

 

My Tundra didn't have bedlights other than the ones on the back of the top of the cab. I may put some after-market ones in later.

 

Did you guys have to seal your beds at the corners to make sure water didn't get in before you put the bed rugs in?

 

I sealed my tonneau cover at the corners to prevent water from coming in. he cover has water channels and drains that have hoses that go down to the front of the bed. I have to punch small holes in the bed rug to allow the tubes to go through. Just used an awl.

 

My Tundra and my Tacoma both had 1/4 inch gaps at the cab end and let a little water in. I sealed it in the Tacoma and will do the same with the Tundra.

 

It’s about 30” with hitch. Pulled effortlessly through hilly terrain. No issues people complain about hooking up, backing up, etc. we have factory bags and there was no squat. Need to adjust the hitch though.

 

Quick question: did you do the sunroof and windshield too? Also what did you pay if I may inquire?

 

Did my 10K service at 9,230mi. Oil, fuel line temp. fix, & transmission reprogram. Took them 7hrs!!

Also noted a slight seep from main rear seal. Had them look at it. Plan is to clean off seep and see if it returns to be able to claim as warranty. Really hoping this was simply “new manufacture wear from assembly! Will up date if it returns.
Before & after pics of main seep.

 

I had that same problem in the late 80's on a Mustang. Different era; however, it was a result of the engine block being warped and too much pressure blowing the rear main seal. I eventually had to Lemon Law the car. Not saying that's the case, but stay on it. It might be the result of a bigger issue.
