I’m a regular dude that likes GM trucks, but nothing looks better than a slightly lifted new generation Tundra on 35’s. Totally bad ass!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man! I appreciate that.

[@joecharmley]

Well done :) after gives it’s aggressive look to it

[@PureBlood777]

Proper stance, color combo and wheel/tire choice. 🔥👍🔥

[@96kylar]

And does dick for actual use. Cool

[@Jr.1738]

After 🔥🔥🔥

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

Should come factory like that. Looks awesome. 👏🏻 You can live very comfortably with this particular set up.

[@TRDJon]

For sure!

[@Dano-MX5]

Enjoying your channel and your Tundra is looking sweet! We vacation in Destin yearly, sometimes twice a year. We stay at Silver Beach Towers. Maybe we will see you cruising around in that beast the next time we are down there. I knew you lived in Florida but I guess I never realized it was in the Destin area.

[@georgefromiami]

yes, the automatic steps make it more enjoyable and a regular daily truck experience., awesome Jon.

[@TRDJon]

Totally agree! Thank you man. I appreciate it.

[@TheVendeada101]

Looks good! I'm the same with the amount of poke on my Plat. Not too much but still super clean. Can't wait to see what your doing next 🔥.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man!!!

Finally been waiting patiently 😅. 🔥

[@TRDJon]

Sorry it took a little. There was alot of detail to cover.

[@itssjrc]

Hey Jon, another great video. Hope you can get back to me, where did you get those sunglasses dude!! Super clean.

[@jax1079]

Look at you swapping in sexy B roll with your A roll tour! See, next thing you know you’re going to have a giant camera and stabilizer… 😂 Dude, that setup looks SO GOOD. It really amps up the look of the Tundra. Perfect combo on the lux Tundra!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man! lol. No big camera here haha I love my simple set up haha. I get frustrated when it gets over complicated.

[@tigerbiterhater]

Looking good 👍

[@peterandersen454]

Great video! What is the exact height to the shark fin and roof? I am deciding between the 2” and 3” lift dobinsons ims lift. I need to be able to clear 82” height. Is yours under 82” at the shark fin?

[@jpentzien]

How are you getting such good MPG’s? I have a 22 tundra and I’m getting 15mpg in the city and 18 highway (I live in Phoenix). We are putting on a 3” Ready Lift SST kit w/fox shocks this week. Swapping the TRD 20’s for 18” Method NV 305 wheels with 295/70R18 KO2’s. We were going to do true 35’s but worried about rubbing so went down a little. Can’t wait to see all the other goodies you’ll be adding.

[@ismh]

Looks good!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks so much!!!!!

[@leektphi]

For breaking not only the weight but I dont know what to really call it but its like a reverse gear ratio because of the increase in diameter of the tire that's sending more energy back to the break rotors which in turn takes more to stop. I really notice it with the 40s.

[@TRDJon]

Ah I get what you are saying too!

[@TheHeadman]

I love the 35’s but not a fan of the rims… I’m considering getting a Tundra … I want to see what the 2024’s look like. Thanks for all the videos

[@JeffJamestarheel48]

Bronze is definitely the way to go! I had bronze wheels on my Calvary blue Tacoma. Looked awesome

[@TRDJon]

Good choice!

[@edwined82]

After looks a lot better

[@Hengsha]

looks good, they should come with at least 35s from the factory imo and the offroad variants optional 37s, the stock tires look so goofy and disproportionate.

[@jtalonrider4769]

How is the turn radio got worse? Btw looks nice and clean

[@BayouToad]

Looks good, I still really, really liked the previous one

[@TRDJon]

Yeah me too!

[@dysutopia4238]

Thanks for modding and posting. Enjoy your channel. I'm waiting for a 2024 Tundra release, so this is very helpful. I'm planning on 3 inch suspension lift on 35 x 12.5 AT with R18 wheels, but your 37 x 11.5 R 17 looks proportionally fitting for a Tundra. Have you been able to measure the overall height increase from your suspension and wheel setup? I imagine it would be around 84 inches tall?

[@TRDJon]

It's close to 84" yes. It still fits in my garage. Thanks! The only thing is in photos the wheels look a little small compared to the larger 37" tires. But in real life it's perfect imo.

[@dysutopia4238]

@@TRDJon I like the 17 wheel to show more sidewall and that goes well with the zero offset. Looks more off-roader aggressive.

[@edwinvasquezp]

Hey Jon, great videos. How much can cost that build? Also I would like to know more about the AirB&b business, open a new channel and let’s talk about that also. I want for my 2023 SR5 SX Tundra 35 12x12.5x17, some advice would be appreciated. Thanks

[@MikeSchneider-wz3ol]

Looks good👍

[@TRDJon]

Thanks 👍

[@wasachevyguy]

On 37’s I would have went with 20’s, especially for a grocery getter. But it still looks pretty good.

[@TRDJon]

18s I get for sure

[@ernestgibson2200]

John did your Tundra came with thetowing mirrors , why i am asking i knew your Sequoia came with thetowing mirrors if you swaped them to your tundra did you haveto get them calibrated at the dealor thanks

[@bobdoc3534]

Very nice. After!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks!

[@christophergodschalk3627]

Looks great! Did you upgrade the bump stops as well? Also, did you have to recalibrate the speedometer?

[@TRDJon]

Not yet. They didn't have any in stock at the time we installed.

[@jamesbluma6028]

looks nice !!!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks!

[@edwined82]

Noti gang on deck

[@TRDJon]

You already know!!

[@TFMOffRoad]

Could you align it just fine without upper control arms or does it have to have it?

[@jasontf2947]

Should of done gun metal color rims. Bronze looks good on white or red. IMO

[@daddyk5023]

whats your average MPG with this setup? Are you able to stuff a 37" spare underneath?

[@mohi91]

Looking great! How is it offroad? Nothing too serious

[@daytrading5456]

Awesome looking! Not entirely sold on the 17's with 37's as it gives it the "balloon" tire look. Almost like it could float on water. Overall looks so much better.

[@TRDJon]

Right on! Ya there is alot of meat for sure. Maybe a little to much.

[@jackbauer9347]

SPC UCA are great. Just be certain you have it aligned by a shop that has experience with them. Also, what do your CV angles look like after 3 inch of lift?

[@TRDJon]

CV aren't bad but I am looking yo add the trd axles

[@Efra0315]

Looks very nice. I am planning to keep the original 20” rims for now. Do you think 35” tires would like nice?

[@TRDJon]

I do yes.

[@Johnny_Bee]

37’s look great, only issue I had was on the highway and going over hills and inclines at highway speeds it would want to downshift, around town though it was fine.

[@TRDJon]

That's what I was trying to explain in the driving portion of the video. We don't have many hills here in FL but it would wanna downshift a little yes.

[@Johnny_Bee]

@@TRDJon Same here, I’m in Houston so it’s only noticeable when we go traveling and the elevation increases.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man!

[@jaxsonhutchins24]

I personally prefer before because I think more platinum look is a bit more fitting, still badass truck

[@TRDJon]

No worries it’s a classy look for sure. The bronze was a bold approach

[@Westonated]

Hey Jon, thanks for the vid, This is the exact build I’m looking at doing for my tundra, can you tell me how tall the truck is now?

[@TRDJon]

It still fits in my 7' garage. so i'd say just under that.

[@SaltyDog711]

I actually like your white one better but good job. I'm in the process now of selling my F150 for a Tundra.

[@TRDJon]

Best of luck in the sale!

[@MrLewispb]

Love your truck. Planning to get one very similar to your's. Question, and maybe i missed it in your previous videos. Why did you opt for the iForce and not the iForce Max? I'm on the fence on which engine to get. Thx

[@TRDJon]

I like it! Under seat storage and they didn't have a max coming.

[@MrLewispb]

@@TRDJon thank you

[@KendrasEdge757]

That looks sick bro!!! I’m tryin hard to find anything negative and I really can’t, but if I had to give a negative it would be the wheels. I love the wheels themselves, but, on the video at least, they look a little small. Not sure what size they are as I’m writing this, but if they’re 17’s than 18’s would probably look better. Again, I’m just nitpicking lol the truck is great and significantly improved over the oem for sure!!! 🤙 Edit: yeah they’re 17’s so 18’s would probably look better, but I’m goin off a video and they may look perfect in person.

[@TRDJon]

Yea 17s looked fine with 35s for sure. But with 37s they do look a little small. I look forward to putting 18's on it in the future.

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@TRDJon yeah ok that’s it then the 37’s, yeah. Still not bad, just looks a little small on the 37’s, but yeah 18’s would be perfect for the 37’s. I had 38’s on my old F250 on 20’s but it was a much bigger truck-F250 6.7 so I’m also used to bigger wheels. When I got my 21 T4R TRD ORP the TRD Pro 17’s looked small to me at first too, but now I don’t think I’d go larger on the 4Runner. At least not until I do my lift-level kit one of these days and see how it looks.

[@pawg206]

Dam those are nice! I thought they were Volks racing weights which cost a pretty penny btw 😂😢.

[@TRDJon]

Oh many they do

[@TRDPRO]

Looks great! Are you upgrading or adding some spacers to the bump stops (especially in the front)? Also, did you do at least a diff drop (icon)? Since you don't have the OR axles or extended front axles I heard that the factory ones (without OR package) are too short and can pop out destroying everything, especially with a 3 inch lift. PS. No hate just don't want to see something get destroyed on your truck

[@TRDJon]

No I appreciate it. I may do the longer axels in the future. But I'm not doing any insane off roading with it to need the longer axels. But I will keep an eye on the boots to make sure that they don't get messed up.

[@TRDPRO]

@@TRDJon no problem at all! I’ll be doing a lift similar on my platinum soon as well. But on this year Tundra, it’s not even just the boot angle, it’s the axles actually being too short. I would highly recommend even just throwing the Icon diff drop in for now.

[@dannymenchaca5188]

Also 2” of lift in the rear , requires a adjustable panhand rod. If not your rear axel will be off center

[@TRDJon]

Yes, working with Dobinsons to get that as well.

[@willwilliams141]

Are you concerned about the front drive shafts being too short? (not the Red TRD longer ones) Do you need to extend the brake lines? Thanks, Will

[@TRDJon]

Looking into getting longer axles

[@TroyKelley517]

Needs a little higher on some 40’s !! Just my opinion !!

[@djr01974]

AFTER 100%👌

[@vinhdoan3629]

Hey Jon , did you have to get extended cv axles for your lift or do a differential drop? Thank you

[@TRDJon]

I havent done either. I plan to do the axels though

[@SaltyDog711]

Just picked up my Tundra today, was looking at your lift you did but saw a video on KZbin where someone said they had issues with the axles leaking, have you encountered any issues with the lift on the Tundra?

[@TRDJon]

I haven’t. But I will be adding the TRD axels in the future. No issues at the moment

[@EverydayEnthusiast]

Did you do the differential drop or update the CV axels like Robinson recommends with a 3” front lift

[@TRDJon]

Not at the time of recording. Looking to do the longer axles. I don't like diff drops.

[@EverydayEnthusiast]

Got it, i love Robinson, but that I feel like the trd lift may be a bit of a better deal to get the axels plus UCA

[@MrNovaAddict]

Did they recommend TRD CV axles? I think I saw somewhere that they were recommended.

[@TRDJon]

Yes

[@_Spacecraft]

Think you’re going to need regear with 37s? I saw someone else with 37s who had their transmission overheating. I have a platinum iforce max I was wanting to put 37s on. Wondering if that’ll need a regear.

[@TRDJon]

Wonder why they had it over heat. I don't think I will.

[@wpaternoster2]

Did you regear or change the tire size in the computer? Looking at getting a 3rd gen soon, curious as how the 37s do with stock gearing.

[@TRDJon]

It does fine for sure. But no updates to the computer or regear.

[@wayneh1562]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@givememangoz]

wondering if this is possible to get a good ride without having to replace the UCAs? don't really have anywhere here in town that will install aftermarket UCAs

[@TRDJon]

It rides good for sure.

[@Efra0315]

What driving mode do you like the most? What do you think about a Grille Guard?

[@TRDJon]

Just normal. Not sure what you mean by a grille guard. Not really a fan of bull bars if that is what you mean.

[@Efra0315]

Like a full bull bar that covers the grille and lights. Often use to protect against deers.

[@frankbailey1733]

you running hub centric rings?

[@charliegermany9449]

Looks nice but 35s would’ve been plenty

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

You drive with open toed sandals, you might want to rethink that habit JON, where I live, the insurance won't cover you wearing open toed sandals and your involved in an accident, good luck. The lift looks great and the color match is stunning, great job on that part of it.

[@TRDJon]

[@TRDJon]

Lifetime powertrain is fine still. Just the suspension is gone.

[@romanracela]

I like it. Looks really good, dude. BTW, now that you have 37s on the truck, your speedo is about 10% off. So, if your speedo says 60mph, you're really doing 66mph.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks! Keep forgetting that.

[@makatron]

Ways thought these trucks should have the option to set which tire size you're running so the dash shows accurate information.

[@John-hw3ds]

Not off roading but put big marshmallow tires with little tiny rims. It does look better, but I think a bigger rim would have fit the platinum look a bit better. But its your hard earned cash, so don't worry about what anybody thinks. Congrats and enjoy.

[@TRDJon]

I agree with the mass that 18’s would be the call with 37s

[@Jonboy4371]

Did you just order the kit and brake lines to get this done or were there other components you had to purchase ?

[@TRDJon]

I got it all through Yotamafia. They supply at all so you can do the brake lines in the suspension kit on their site. I put the link to their site in the description for you.

As a previous owner of many previous gen Tundra's I must say this truck is an embarrassment to the former Tundra legacy. Seriously it's small, sits about as high as a Ridgeline and is just not a good locking truck. What segment of truck is Toyota trying to compete in with this this latest generation?

[@TRDJon]

Same one as last? Their own? Toyota doesn't care about taking down Ford or Chevy with the Tundra. That is what the Tacoma is for. But thanks for watching a video ON YOUR OWN and commenting just to express your opinion about the old vs new truck...
