Was this a Mistake? I swapped out top-shelf mods for these... Tundra TRD Pro!

- Was this the right call? I personally really like Go Rhino Running Boards... especially these RB20s with the bed liner finish. However, swapping out the awesome Cali-Raised Rock Sliders for them was tough. It's always an easy decision for me to get the Go Rhino running boards when I don't already have a great set of sliders on it. For those of you who don't know, I bought this 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro WITH the sliders, ARE bed topper, and decked drawer system already installed -I didn't do those mods. Although the setup looked incredible, it often hindered the utility of the truck (for me). For me, I really like having an open bed. What do you prefer in a truck?

"V8 sound through speakers"
OMG...freakin' GenZ is CRAZY!!!
The reason for modding a truck, is to make it more usable for what you use the tool for. Don’t apologize for making your truck more valuable to YOU.
Appreciate it brother =]
Looks so much better. Keep it forever!!!! Trust me, 10 years from now the rumble of the V8 will make it worth it. Especially when everyone is driving a truck that sounds like a microwave, and looks like a shiny fridge.
Thanks man. You’re absolutely right about that. Looks like I’ll be able to keep it after all. =]
For me the camper shell is a must have for taking all my camping gear and fishing gear and being able to secure it. But to each their own
These people on this channel are ignorant. The camper shell is a must and a classic look for this vehicle.
@@IowaHiker looks good when you’re 65
Looks better now, Untamed!
Thanks Tommy! Much happier with the overall look and added utility. =]
I like this look better Untamed👍🏽
Looks fantastic! Congratulations on hitting 50k subscribers.
So now you might be hanging onto this badass truck for a while🧐🧐🧐!! I’d say keep it brutha looks great!!!
I have the 6.5 ft bed with a topper and a ladder rack it carries a ton of stuff while I travel around the country and I love it. I just use a trailer for all the toys. I can see why that shorter bed is tough with a topper but with that cover you also lost about a foot of bed on an already tiny bed.
Looks great, I like the look both ways. I have this exact truck with Toyotas factory running boards. Going with yours for sure.
Thanks Jerome! I really appreciate this subtle look and having the added utility of the bed. =]
I think TRD Jon is trolling you in his latest video. In his video title he refers to himself as the Toyota Simp. Intelligent people prefer your unbiased reviews and commentary. Your mods look 100% better. The cap was nice as far as caps are concerned but in my opinion it really takes away from the good looks of that truck! I would also have removed the deck system as well. It just takes up way too much usable space.
Personally, I still don’t get the hate behind TRD Jons channel. He’s referred himself as a Toyota Simp multiple times in the past as one and isn’t afraid of admitting being one. He likes Toyotas and at this point he embraces the newer platforms more so than Untamed. Not to mention, Untamed has a family to look after for, while Jon does not have kids. Big difference seen here especially for budget for cars.
@@arhamkhakwani5851 TRD Jon is a bum kissing grifter. He will take any company line as long as it benefits himself regardless if what he says is true or not. He would probably eat dog turds and say they tasted like tootsie rolls if Toyota promised to invite him to more events.
Much better now! Exactly like mine, only I have the backflip tonneau cover 👍
Looks awesome! I saw that you posted the sliders and hopped on here to see what you put on instead. I’ll be going the same route.
Haha nice. Thanks Devin! I really like the subtle look of this setup and added utility of the bed. 💯
I love the looks of your Truck now. Awesome.
Another great video! Love the color-matched Arie bed topper. I would totally switch my tonneau cover for the Arie bed topper if I was at all handy. I like the extra practicality for my needs.
Thanks brother! 🙏 Agreed, both are great options, just a matter of what your needs are.
Much better. I have the same running boards and the UnderCover Ultra Flex Tonneau cover on my 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. I love it!
So much better! That camper top looked terrible.
You have no idea
The camper top made the truck. You must 9-5 in your truck and never utilize its full potential
@@IowaHiker Wow.. trash the guy because he thinks the cleaner look of a tonneau cover is better? 🤣 Is it a bad thing if he goes to work during the week? 🤔
@@xenogears5177 don't mess with a classic look. Your smooth brain wouldn't understand
@@IowaHiker Not sure why you get so triggered when someone else changes something on their truck? Also, I never knew there was only one way to make a tundra look.. 🤣🤡🤡🤡
@@xenogears5177 maybe you should buy a ps2 and play xenosaga 3
Your new Running Boards are a 10 out of 10. 🏆 They are the best looking and they look top quality.
I think it looks so much better and more functional!!
Are you still in counseling? Ha ha! You make life fun! Never know what’s next! Love, love your videos! The voice for the working man! 😂
Haha lord knows I need it 😂
Thanks Harold! =]
For big stuff I would have probably gotten a trailer and kept the canopy.
Looks good to me! You do you dude!
Thanks man! =] I’m very happy with how it turned out. Subtle and added utility.
I would’ve kept the camper shell but removed the decked system and lighter steps
Love your truck man, I’d buy it if I could afford it.
Love it!I own a 2016 Crewmax TRD -PRO.
I agree, I like the looks of the tundra without the shell-top. I have the same running boards on my tundra.
Thanks Mike! I definitely appreciate the subtle look of this and the added utility is a nice perk. =]
@@UntamedMotors Love these running boards, just put a set on my F250. Funny how some of the most expensive mods are just a PITA and less is more.
@@WranglermanLevi I agree 100% 👌
Looks good, I went with the roll n lock with the t channel mount rails. Love it. I am loving those side steps.
Great choice, I’ve only heard positive things about that cover too. 👌 Thanks man, I certainly appreciate the more subtle look and added utility of this setup.
@@UntamedMotors Id say the only annoyance with the load n lock is the pull strap, Ive loaded the bed up and then realized that the strap was under everything. A removable yakima rack might be next, toss the yakima roof carrier on it for extra dry storage when traveling with the family etc..
Love it. It looks much better.
Much cleaner look now Untamed and you gained far more bed space at the same time. I have been eyeing the Truxedo Sentry CT as I like the ability to roll it up so it is out of the way if I need the entire bed. I also like the matte fabric finish as it is far more durable than vinyl. I still haven't decided on which sidesteps to purchase for my '21 Tundra, but those Go Rhino definitely look good on your Pro. 👍
Good choices looks great
Love your Luna rock 2nd gen. Those v6s can kick rocks. I’ve accepted the fact that I am a grandpa with my campershell. With two kids I can always have our stroller and bike in the bed and dry. Incase of an EMP strike we can still be mobile and get to our destination. Some love the camper and others don’t. That’s okay, everyone uses their rig in different ways. I got a 2 bike motorcycle hitch carrier for when I transport our scooters. That’s a good option for bikes if you don’t want to remove your shell. Stay hard brother, tundra 4 lyfe
Truck looked great with the topper shell, but I agree, you need that bed space.
Love my Retrax. Leaks a bit of water but keeps everything very safe.
Nice. It’s extremely well built and glides open and closed. Super happy with the move so far. =]
Good call removing the cap and installing the tonneau. Truck looks so much better!
Thanks man! I much prefer it this way 👌
The Tundra looks so much better without the cap on the back! More functional and less Grandpa-ish.
Cap
How do you like this bed cover compared to a diamondback?
Looks great! I like the N-Fab Podium Steps, but these steps are higher from the ground.
Looks good
All good until that first snow and ice storm…
Doesn't look like a grandpa truck anymore. Much better.
Thanks man! I love this setup and appreciate the added utility… for our needs anyway. =]
awesome truck
Love the new running boards; mainly because there lighter like you said UntaMed👍🏻. I want to purchase for my Tacoma trd pro, some Greenlane aluminum sliders down the road.
Hope you don’t get rid of that killer Tundra btw UntaMed 😳
The truck can now be used as a truck, I prefer the Diamond Back bed cover.
You indicated a while ago that you were selling this truck. What changed?
We weren’t able to secure the “dream house” so we’re getting something more within our budget. Allowing me to keep the truck without stress. =]
What are U R thoughts on the engines going bad??
Those mods are a positive addition
Looks much sharper,good move.👍🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
Appreciate it, Albert! I really enjoy the subtle look of this setup… and love having the added utility of the bed. =]
I tried to order the tonneau through your link. Hawaii isn’t a shipping option
Darn that’s a bummer… =\ thanks for letting me know though!
I would have kept the topper but you do you.
Wow !! That was a great idea to get rid of that topper and drawer system . Followed by a bad idea to ruin it again with the bed cover , IMO . But , each his own :D
I removed the shell off my Ram Cummins and sold it. Now I regret it… I’m thinking of buying a new shell again. My truck looked so cool with it on. My wife said it looked like a grandfather truck. But she’s a lot younger than me. My truck is lifted on 22” wheels and she liked it without the shell. But! It’s my truck and I’m going to get one again.👍
What kind of mileage and range are you getting with the TRD Pro?
14-16 on average 😬
@@UntamedMotors I’ll take the mileage hit compared to other trucks for the reliability. Sure wish it got 16-18 though 😂. I’m in Fort Collins area and actively looking for one
@@huntsonora you and me both brother =] doesn’t bother me one bit tbh.
Are you selling the other runners?
looks good
Thank you! 🙏
U did good bro! I never liked topper campers! I always thought they looked gay af to be honest!
Saame😂
Big improvement. Get a Bedrug for that bed next and some morimoto tails and we can be twins
Consider keeping the sliding drawer. Makes accessing cargo much easier and it also can be stopped in various places along its slide. You can partially extend the drawer slide and it will give you the full bed length again with the tailgate down. Although it does reduce the depth of the bed by about 4”.
Now you're ready for some crossbars so you can mount a rtt on the back ;)
What are you doing with the Decked system?
Selling it on Facebook marketplace
How much do you want for the camper top ?
I’d save you $1000 over new. 👍
Great move…your Tundra looks way better…👌🏿!
Hype this!
If you don’t need the weight of the sliders and you are using this for the kiddos so the step makes more sense. I am looking to get a Diamondback for my 23 Tacoma ACLB
Looks 100% better now! Love it.
Thanks a ton! I’m very pleased with how it all turned out. Love the added utility of this setup. =]
I have a camper top on my taco...I hate the look but it serves a great purpose...your new look is what I would prefer...sharp truck!
Looks wise you made a huge upgrade. Camper tops are for people who really wanted a sequoia lol. Why even have a truck if you can’t haul things that an suv can’t?
LOOKS GREAT !!!!!!
Thank you! Much happier with this setup. =]
Untamed. I’m thinking of a Highlander 2.4 turbo. You think it will hold up at least ten years 100k. I don’t drive much and take care of my stuff
I like the running boards better. The topper looked better but the open bed with cover is more practical and nearly just as cool looking.
I've never had any use for a topper. I totally prefer the new setup.
Yeah I held my tongue before…this is a major improvement.
I’ll never understand the giant shell on top of the bed. Might as well just get a big van.
It would be nice to still have the Decked roll out but without the Drawer system.
I agree. I preferred that piece over the actual drawer system too. 👍
what color ?
Love this truck! Own a 4Runner.. bought one before the redesign, but if I bought a pick up it would be the tundra. (Not the redesign)
Thanks brother. You bought a solid rig too 🙌
@@UntamedMotors Plan to keep it for the long haul! Bought it in December of 2023 and I plan on paying it off December of this year. Only $14k left. I’ve been attacking my payments with a vengeance. My dealership isn’t going to profit from the high APR if I can help it.
@@WesternRAM that’s awesome man! Congrats! Home stretch. 👌
How much for the sliders?
Have them on marketplace now for $950 but would take $800.
Bruh, the ONLY mistake would be selling that beautiful, bulletproof, lunar rock beast. Keep this one, please. Or sell it to me.
Haha I’ve peeled off the expensive dream house… now sticking to something more comfortably within our budget. So the truck can stay!
@@UntamedMotorshellz yeah. This and the 5th gen T4R are the last two legends until Toyota comes back to its boosted senses.
Looks much better now. Looks like a truck. I'll be honest, didn't like it before when you had the top on. Good decision.
In your own opinion, which is better Diamondback or a Realtrax cover?
@untamedmotors
The topper is nice, but it did make it look like a land yacht. I think without it it gives a more clean look and this way you can still use it as a truck.
Really want one these older tundras but 13mpg…
If it suits your needs how would it be wrong.
I want that truck
UM..the Tundra looks good with or without the topper on or off..what I like most though is that color it nice 😁
looks better in my opinion
I would have done the same exact thing. Looks good brother!
Gooood move!!
Thanks man! Very pleased with the look and utility now. =]
You needed a turbo to compensate for all that extra weight 🤣
it looks much better w/o the camper top
You have chosen.... wisely.
Yep a goober, but toppers are really cumbersome and don't allow for use of the bed. The downgrade of the steps makes it easier for short people to get in.
I like it better now.
Man, i was going to get a Bronco but their expensive lol
The camper looks good but I like it better without it 👍
so not selling the truck now?
You should have looked at the Westcott Designs Rock sliders - I think the Go Rhino boards are big miss. But as long as you like it - who cares what I thing, enjoy!
Had them before, they’re nice… but overkill for what I truly need.
It looks so much better to me now but, if this setup is better for you and your family, then it really doesn't matter what others think....
Appreciate it, Rusty! Definitely a more ideal setup for our needs. =]
Canopy is useful if your a contractor or a senior citizen. Otherwise canopies look hideous. Tonneau cover is much sleeker and more bed versatility .
💯
Ok...gotta ask.... Why have none of your neighbors planted any trees except that one house near the end?
Here where I live in Wyoming is a tough spot to grow trees… super tough. The harsh elements (mainly wind) tend to ruin things quick.
@@UntamedMotors Ah....that makes sense with the local conditions.
I get similar questions being in South Florida about our lakes. Mostly it's "why don't you swim in the lakes?". They get a little nervous after I point out the gator eyes staring at them as they ask the question. ;)
Nothing against Toyota but I am glad I have a 2013 Silverado with the 6.2 L9H with no AFM versus the new Toyotas and new turbo 6s and 4S
Defintely better.
Thanks man! I really like the subtle look of this better. 👌
Now you're talking.
Thank you, Fred! Love this setup. =]
Looks much better
Now that’s what I’m thinking about. It’s a real truck. Hade the same set up with the canopy. Now retractable and amp running boards. Very clean set up 👌
