What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They do not look bad. Probably next thing I do

 

Saturday.

 

They look a lot better in person..the wheels were covered in water so it didn't come out well in the pics

 

i want to do all blue leds on the interior lights... anyone done the courtesy light on the bottom of the dash under the climate controls?

 

Thanks! They are just simple MB wheels. I got a really good deal on them from a buddy. Quality wise, from what I have researched they seem to be pretty decent.

Here is a link. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/wheels/mb_wheels/size/viewProductDetail.do?pc=74742

 

did you have to install load resistors or just plug them in?

 

Gave the truck a quick wash today......and noticed that with only 1,800 miles it is already beat to crap without mud flaps. Crap! I really liked the look without.

Where are people getting a good deal on the stock flaps?

 

Thanks a lot! I actually just saw this now. Yesterday I pulled the trigger on this exact size with some KO2's. They fit perfectly and I can still use the truck practically without having to worry about rubbing.

 

For what?

 

Looks great! I'm wanting a set with mini fist to hold a couple fishing rods.

 

Was undecided about removing the Tacoma emblems, but I finally removed them. Had a Zagg invisibleshield for an iPad Mini that I got rid of a while ago, so I cut it down and installed it on my deck. There's a thread on here about a screen protectors and while this isn't my first touchscreen, the plastic on the face is soft and scratches easily compared to the aftermarket touchscreens I've had. Might be overkill, but I'll leave it for the time being. Also loaded up my MTB and went for a rip through some trails.

 

I can probably get one up tomorrow just need a buddy to rev it for me.

 

Thanks! And yeah it's really nice to be able to mount them out of the way

 

Anyone tried the trd dual exhaust? want to know if it is smooth, loud or obnoxious.

 

How is the sound compared to stock at idle and Highway speeds?

 

Minimal cabin noise, no screaming at people in the cabin and no having to blast the radio. I would describe it as a nice deep rumble at start up then quiets down but when you get into 2500-3500 RPMS you can hear its sexiness... One reason i love magnaflow exhaust you get performance and a great sound exhaust system that isn't over the top like flow master.

 

Compared to stock at idle its much louder and a better beefier sound like a small V-8 then trails out when the RPM's settle to idle then its just a nice low rumble (again I have to adjust my clamps to shut off some leaking I have) but hitting the highway cursing at 60 then accelerating to 80 its deep low and sound great. I have a 2007 FJ with TRD exhaust and KN Intake and thats a way higher pitch and wine to it than Magnaflow. I'll get a video up as soon as I can maybe even have some of the sound guys i work with get some professional audio.

 

any more detail on the Zagg cuts (measurements or how to actually cut it) - I had a bogo from them that's just been sitting around - great idea there @easbaysav !!!

 

Thanks for the info i have been hesitant about buying but Cooper Discovery S/T Maxx in the 265/70/17 here I come whenever wheels get here!!!

 

I didn't take any actual measurements. Took the paper backing for the back shield (shield was used with my iPad Mini) and folded it to what I wanted covered on the deck. Used that as a template for the actual shield; then used a box cutter with a new blade to cut the shield down to size. Used the Zagg box the Invisibleshield came in as a straight edge since I don't have a ruler. A metal ruler would've been nice, but the box worked like I needed it to. After it was cut down to size, I placed it onto the deck to measure where I needed to cut for the SD card slot.
