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

That turned out really good. I used the exact same stuff off Amazon on mine. That mesh is perfect because it's really rigid, small enough to block most debris, plus it still lets plenty of air through. I was thinking about trying to do the whole grill, but the main radiator on the hybrid is mostly covered by electric fans so I just focused on the turbos.

 

@SpilledTheSalt
I have seen pics of others with their grills off and the additional fans. Is that only on the hybrids or the higher trims as well?

It seems most of the time the active grill shutters are closed and I thought about doing just the intercoolers but went this route for now.

 

That’s a great idea for summer use . Not sure where you live but I’d be concerned about snow and ice blocking it solid in the winter . Just something to consider if you get much snow .

 

I put on the rear NYTOP fender flares. They are much wider than I anticipated.
Have +0 offset 17s I’m putting on tomorrow with 285/75/r17
Only did the rear, debating if I should keep them.
Will see what it looks like tomorrow after the new wheels/tires

 

Puke. There is no wheel/tire combo in the world that can make those look good.

 

haha, you're not known for your tact, are you? They definitely look like something you'd see on a jeep with angry eyes, but to each their own!

 

Nope, tactfulness often wastes time....no need to sugar-coat.

 

Yeah, was expecting about half that amount of protrusion but like I said, will see tomorrow and will update then with thumbs up or down.

oh, and pics for s&g

 

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there has to be a nicer looking option for fender flares for the 3rd Gen. For me the debate would be over already. I am a Canadian sorry about that.

 

Yeah, I feel like this would only work with 37s and a negative offset… there’s a few videos of the same setup I just mentioned. But I’ll never have more than a level and 35s
Again, we’ll see tomorrow. But as of right now I think I’ll be buying some goof off and installing the stock fender flares.

 

Installed a quick connect flag mount for driving on the Northwest Dunes. 3D printed an anchor for the bedrail and then aluminum angle iron for the flag mount.

Nope. Unless you’re going extreme with everything else and graphics. They look cheap

 

Man, can you return those? they kind of different to say it nicely. Unless you are planning to have 6 inch lift, custom offset wheels with 37s they would not look good. Imho...
Keep them only if you like it, rest of the world can cry, lol

 

A 2" spacer and a 35" tire will fix you right up.

 

Not unless it magically turns into a dually. Those gotta go!

 

They sure are different.

 

I installed this.

Yeah that’s why I only put on the rear.
Honestly don’t care about what others think, I had a look in my head for build and this ain’t it. Doubt I can return them but oh well. Luckily they came off easily and it’s not too much effort. I do like the matte carbon fiber but those were just too much.

 

Can’t fit 35s yet. Waiting on suspension. It’s got 33.8/11.2/17 (285/75/17) on there right now and it’s JUST enough room.

 

Backshot blocker

 

It’s really not that bad with the new tires/wheels. Still a little too loud for me so took them off.

 

Pic with them off? They don’t look terrible. I think it’s the carbon fiber that takes away.

 

From Timbren to Sumo Springs. I will tow my track car on 10-4-5, so I will update my thoughts then. The Timbren beat me too much in daily driving.

 

I

just did this yesterday myself. Not exactly what I was hoping. Didn’t know they would make contact all the time. Will see how they effect my off-road experience.

 

It’s been raining and haven’t put the stock ones back on yet

 

The Timbrens SES are Rated Capacity: 6,000 lbs
The SumoSprings are The SSR-631-40has a 1,400 lbcapacity when compressed at 50%
They have to be softer than the Timbrens.

 

Yes sir I’m sure they are but they will still limit upward travel. I was under the impression that they would sit an inch or two off the axel while at rest. But haven’t tried them out yet. Fingers crossed.

 

They do sit 1 1/2 off. But our springs are soo soft that the hit all the time.

 

Ah, yeah maybe I didn’t consider the 150lbs of decked and tools in the back. Haha, oh well.

 

Put one of these steps onto my Tundra. Certainly makes getting onto and down the tailgate much easier.
