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

probably sell it for a bill plus shipping. Will post when the next one comes in. This way we all save.

 

Uh oh. We've seen this before with a guy trying to sell some MESO lights (I think?) that were defective and replaced by the company and it wasn't pretty. Most guys don't think it is very ethical to sell parts you didn't pay for.

 

I appreciate your opinion. And you seem to have many of those around here.

but when a company says keep it and do what you want with it, I will.

Im not going to start a back and forth with you. You asked me a question and I responded. Good day!

 

You are correct, everyone here, myself included, has opinions. There's no back-and-forth needed. *IMO* (there it is again!), it's a douchebag move to sell a damaged item you received for free in order to offset the cost you originally and willingly paid for it. The company did right by you....why not pay if forward and GIVE the thing to someone?

 

What kind of modifications did you have to do to get the Raptor lights to work?
TIA

 

Leveled with 295/60R20 Falken Wildpeak AT4W’s.

Leveled with Bilstein 5100’s on 5th clip. The truck sits about 3/16” higher in the front. If I did it again I’d use the 4th setting to make the truck slightly lower in the front.

Also put on Icon UCA’s

Bilstein part number is 24-329200

 

Hope the solid move by BAM Auto (Brunswick Auto Mart) doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Good for them..

 

They seem to be pretty comparable to the stock 4600’s. Ride is great. I definitely prefer this over something like a spacer lift.

 

Just picked up my RB20 running boards tonight. Install planned for the weekend, but your slims have me wishing I had gone that route. Nice Tundra

 

Talon’s Garage full skids. Quality items, powder coating seems tough. Got the steel version as she is a big girl and I wheel hard. These should be more expensive then it is hahaha.

 

You got anything of value you want to give away?

 

Nothing comes to mind at the moment but I'll think of you first if I score any freebies.

 

yeah the lady got me the TRD Pro Grille for christmas but had me look at it to make sure it's correct. The box looks like it went through a warzone, will definitely have to inspect it again after seeing your post.

 

Hopefully not. It was a little tricky trying to figure out the return/exchange policy. Had to go back and forth with BAM and their Ecommerce drop ship provider. I think I went through six people until someone laid it so it all out for me on getting a replacement.

 

Thanks brother, yeah went with the slims on a whim in hopes they would not stand out too much from the truck. they do get really slim on the backside on the truck and there is not a lot of step room on them for people, but they still work with enough to help get into the truck.

 

love the set up, bet that rides really smooth. Clean truck brother

 

I used a utility knife to cut al the excess plastic off both sides of each light. I also cut the small retaining tabs off. I left the bottom longer plastic intact to have a base for the 3M VHB tape to adhere to. I marked up two here but modified all four.

 

Didn't even know they made the 5100 for the 3rd gen...I had the toytec lift on my tacoma that came with the 5100s, all the lift i ever needed.

 

Backwoods Adventure Mods front bumper, Warn VR EVO 12-S winch, Factor 55 flatlink winch shackle, Rhino D-Ring shackles. Waiting for the rear bumper to arrive, hopefully soon.

 

Is the bumper plastic or metal?

 

The winch cradle is steel, outside shell is aluminum. They do this to save weight.

 

Sick

 

That is a super clean look! does not stand out a lot and looks like it doesn't stick out too far.

 

GoRhino Ceros roof-rack installed. Was dark last night and I'm posting on break at work now, so no pictures just yet, but I put the write-up over here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/thetuppers-not-a-build-thread.139294/#post-3793889

TLDR;

7/10 (deductions for parts issues and shipping concerns) - Happy with it overall. Time will tell.

 

Added fog lamps from @Caliraisedled

 

Was wanting to get those fog light. Are they yellow or amber . I would love to have amber fog light

 

They call them amber but they look yellow to me.

 

But it does look cool. Nice work.

 

Looks really good. Did you have to relocate the winch control box? I have a Zeon 12S winch and it won't work with the 20" S8 light bar.
