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

Had this delivered yesterday. Box arrived all beat up (I assume it happened in NC where it was delayed several days). In inspection, I noticed a crack in the grille I’ve emailed BAM asking for an exchange or for a small refund of my original purchase price. I don’t mind keeping it if the refund amount is agreeable.

 

That looks great. I'm looking at the same 3/2 readylift with CV axle upgrade. Next step is to find the lightest 35/11.5R20...

Bummer. Hope they do right by you.
Potential fix? Super glue crack together then a little plastic weld on the back side? Should be nearly invisible when done right.

 

Something like that, you could also use a bit of JB weld on the backside so you can't see it.

 

You could use a plastic welder on the backside.

 

Got some door lights today, no big deal, but better than what was on there from factory.

 

This truck wins. Well done

 

NICE!
Great minds and all that.
Also can see the additional blue footwell lighting I added.

 

Which TRD Off-Road light is that exactly if you don't mind?

 

https://www.mvpautosupplies.com/
is the website for the manufacturer, but I got them from Etsy, where the seller name is MVPCUSTOMSshop.
That's assuming my Etsy versions aren't knockoffs, which is possible.

 

Yup, ans some of you mentioned, I’ll probably use JB Weld on the backside. It’s a fine hairline when pieced together, so shouldn’t be noticeable . I’d hate to exchange it at this point.

 

All-Pro tailgate panel. Good quality for the price. No more destroyed knees.

 

I added the OEM dashcam and seatjackers from Desert Does It. I opted to only go with the 3/4” lift on the seatjackers but it makes a world of difference in seat comfort.

I also pulled out my Bedrug XLT and swapped it for the full Bedrug. It was a wash from a functionality standpoint but I prefer the more finished look.

 

I installed Tufskin rear tailgate tundra overlay,
Trd overlay for front grill and door sill overlay

 

Installed 1/2" cornfed rear spacers today to give it just a tad bit of rake.
The 1.75 front level made it perfectly level front & rear. (About 1/4" higher in rear). So I added the 1/2" spacer, now it's perfect.

 

Did you have the physical metal key inside? I bought my 24 with 5k miles and they don’t have the metal insert key for the second fob and said I should have got it when I bought the truck used

 

So, are these used lots possibly keeping the second key to give to the bank. You know for those repo days !!!!

 

I bought my 2022 tundra used from a dealer. No second key. I called my local Toyota to see if by chance my vin had a second key issued already. He never really answered me but did tell me it would be $400 for another fob and key.

 

Thanks! Just ordered.

 

Made a few more mods.

4Runner "Raptor" lights modified for the TRD OR grill


1.25 Wheel spacers until I get new wheels and tires


NYTOP exhaust dump


This one took the most time. I wanted to mount my fridge slide and tilt but didn't want to drill into the Deckd box. I fabricated the robust bracket from a 1/4" flat bar, angle iron, and 3/4" square tube. It's attached to a 3/4" plywood sheet coated in a rattle can bed liner. I can take it out in a few minutes to have the full bed when needed. I may need to reinforce the passenger side rear corner as the plywood wants to flex when fully tilted, but it is good for now while I put it through its paces.

 

How was the NYTOP dump tip install? Mine arrived this weekend and it’s on my growing list of things to do on my new Tundra. Any change in exhaust sound? TIA

 

It was pretty easy. Prepare to cut the factory part in half where it goes over the axle if you are lazy and don't want to jack the back end up A little louder and more aggressive on cold start. A little "rumble" or drone in cab but not in an annoying way. Sounds better to me but not a huge change, which I am glad for.

 

Received store credit towards the purchase of a new one and get to keep this one. If anyone is interested let me know.

 

i've got the nytop axle dump waiting to go on when the weather clears, how was removing the oem axle back? did you have to jack up the drivers side, or just lower the spare? thanks.

 

So, are you selling or giving away the damaged one they gave you full credit for?

 

Just threw on the Go-Rhino RB20 Slim side step rails. I really did not want rails to take away from the overall truck, but be super functional. So far, I am super happy with them and the look.

 

I'f I had lowered the spare I wouldn't have had to cut. but I didn't wanna mess with a jack or the spare so once it was loose, I cut it near the big bend with an angle grinder.

 

I think you succeeded in your mission - looks great on your truck. Those tires look mean, what are they?

 

Thanks! Tires are 37" Mikey Thompson Baja Boss M/T with RRW 17" wheels.
