What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@jeff_taco_4x4 I think I am going to go this route. Did you tell them to just paint it black? Or did they ask for glossy/flat?

 

Is the lettering from CCG? Yours lettering looks bigger than some other ones... Which looks much better if you ask me.

 

He recommended a semi flat black to make it look "hidden". They mix and make their own paint at the shop. I'm impressed with the quality so far. NO signs of scratches/peeling after several car watches and road trips.

 

Finally got my wheels in so now I have everything. So next week time to install!! Icon stage 4, 285/70r17 ko2 on fuel vectors.

 

^ ^ ^ Smugly...you mean there's some kind of *benefit* to us TRD "Sport" owners?! FWIW, I take mine up to 100mph *often* (I work in the sticks and usually leave late and *no one* is around on this particular highway) and never have experienced any kind of "flex" in the hood. I'd freak. On a completely different topic and remember....i'm new to this and don't know how to search an old thread (i'm trying to learn) or start a new one but....just for kicks I thought i'd throw this out there (and if there is a *correct* way to post this or a different thread please feel free to point me in the right direction). My rear (4X4) mudflaps were completely beat within just a couple of years of buying the truck new. I even lost the one on the passenger side (right side) recently and bought a new pair as a buddy of mine (at the time) worked at a Toyo dealership and got me a new set (with all the clips/fasteners). My question is....is there anything I can do (as in sealing and/or painting/clear-coating) the flaps so they don't look so beat so fast? Thanks in advance for any info and again, sorry if this is in the wrong thread....which I think it is....

 

@urbantaco and.... I'm in your will.... right?

 

Absolutley. The debt collectors will be happy to know I was responsible and left them a contact to collect after I'm pushing up daisies.


PS - this setup only works if we all die in the right order and shit doesn't get repro'd. Lol.

 

More pics and a link please

 

Installed the Tonneau tri-fold cover, and drove her from Tampa to Aspen and back. Just ordered the Predator side steps, and a set of 16" Konig Countersteer Offroad. Next is Icon suspension and still trying to make up my mind on tire

@urbantaco Sounds Good To Me.... I'm so Excited!!!

 

Do I put you down in the paperwork as my long lost relative, or as my side piece on the down low?

Also need $2500 down payment so I can get my overseas inheritance.

 

I have a rattle on my passenger side window, but happens with the window shut, partially open, or open. Gonna have to pull it open and see what I can find. Don't really want to take it to the dealership, plus looks like somebody already brought their's to the dealer only for them to say it's normal.

 

Can someone please explain better what is this hood issue you guys are talking about?

I have the exact same problem and it's annoying for sure. I just up the radio volume but I will have to open it up sometime this weekend though since something is definitely loose as hell.

 

It's from ECG Fabrication. Great product. Much cheaper than CCG, but it took a month and a half to get even though they told me it was a one week lead time. Eventually they stopped answering emails too. Was close to canceling but figured I'd wait it out. Was in no hurry. I figure they were just backed up due to the holidays or something.

 

Thanks!

 

Acidently sent you to page 20 something...but I'm sure you can navigate to page 1. No hand holding...we're real men on this place...except you violated rule 1....never ask for directions....get the womenz to ask.

 

Thanks I went 5% in back and 20% up front it just looks darker because pic was taken at night in parking garage

 

Haha yeah went to the mall had to find a spot a mile away
