What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

All done. Took about an hour in 50 degree weather. It wasn't as easy as some of you make it seem. I like it a lot more than the black.

 

You just used your hands? No heat gun or anything?

 

What LED's are you using for the interior?

 

i only did the low beams and fogs, both of which are H11's. I'm not sure about the high beams.

 

Damn, get a heat gun son. Took me all of 5 minutes per side in my unheated 35° shop. Once the whole decal was up to 90-100° it just peeled off in one quick motion. The TRD decals weren't nearly as easy but still didn't take very long, maybe 10 minutes per.

 

No, all are existing holes that already have screws or plugs ready for a screw to be put into them.

 

I ordered them from www.superbrightleds.com there's a thread on here about the part numbers for each bulb to order, how to put them in, etc. It cost about $30 and took 5-10min to install with a tiny flat head screwdriver.

 

How did it take so long? Didn't even take me 5 minutes total with out heating..?

Can you take a picture of your front coils? Did you leave them at the height out of the box or crank them down?

 

Yes, I just used my fingers and a flat push blade to start them. They would peel straight down and tear at the seam in the door arond the window. One rear got stuck in the inner door flashing and starting in there was a bitch. I didn't want to use a heat gun because I read that it left a terrible residue. There was no sticky residue left when I did it cold.

 

I cranked them down to 2" and 1.75" of thread showing. They come at 1.5" from the factory.

Thanks, is it pretty rough like that?

 

Good for the street wouldn't want to do a long trip off road though. Thinking I might do something else upfront.

 

TRD decals left residue, b-pillars didn't, for me anyway. Even then it only took a minute to get the residue off. After a coat of wax you can't tell they were ever there, even under an inspection light.

 

Were you testing it in Gorman?

 

This is where having the cdcv resi's really help. Definitely improve the ride quality and gives you the ability to fine tune the ride to your liking. But, Icon, king, Fox etc are all going to give a more firm ride over stock

 

Yeah but I'll wait until icon gets their stuff figured out for the 16. They're testing now. Maybe they'll be better with 700# spring straight out of the box

 

Yes, went out for about 4 hours. Just drove around mostly. Only did two real trails. Got it up to 25 degrees of side hill on a few spots and a few steep hills up and down. It does very well. I thought it would feel longer but it was good. I realized after the hard stuff that the tires were at 36psi. Still did very well in sand and steep stuff
