What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good question!

 

Yea. The only reason I would be interested to own one is to be able to monitor internals and look at fault codes.

It would also be great to recalibrate the speedometer after a tire mod. Someone just asked that question, not sure if the OBD2 has that capability.

 

can you elaborate? I got my kit yesterday and did all the interior but do not see how to do this easily. Also I'm assuming the map light bulbs are the same since I have 4 left.

 

You know, I sat on it for a few days as it was kinda pricey for a piece of metal. But when you look at the truck from behind, it makes a huge difference. It just looks more 'finished' No regrets now. I know it's not the most popular mod.

 

Want to talk about a pricey mod!?!?

I want that red TRD push button start. It's a piece of plastic that's like $200. But it looks super cool! And word on the streets is that it adds +1hp.

 

I belive someone posted earlier that you can change that under navigation option, will only affect digital speedo. But don't quote me on that, I have not tried that yet. I had techstream installed on my laptop and there is lots of options to configure your vehicle, need to play more with that. Supposedly techstream is easily installed on 32bit Windows, that's Windows XP and previous gens. I could not install it on my Win 8 (64bit) and had my tech savy friend do it for me.

 

1st time. they added glues to bond the hood. looks good now! btw i got my flowmaster 40 series delta installed sounds really good.

 

Make sure they got all the spots! I may be taking mine back just saw the missed two spots you can notice is while driving. Which dealer you going to? Carson?

How much did the Flowmasters run you?

 

The HomeLink comes with the Limited, and why it isn't an option with the other trims, baffles me. However, luckily it is super easy to swap out. I bought a mirror with HomeLink through the forum from Bob's Mirrors and it took about 15 minutes to install. That was the only thing bugging me about the truck and now it's taken care of!

 

Installed my Husky X-Act Contours. I had the Toyota all weather mats which did a good job keeping the carpets from getting mud on them, but any decent amount of water such as snow melt would just drain into the carpet. The new Husky mats are awesome as they fold up and contain the water as well as having carpet spikes which keeps the passenger mat from moving around. The driver side mat uses the clips so obviously that one isn't going anywhere, but still has the spikes.

yea i got it done at carson. they added a TON! i got it out the door install and all for $150

 

Well UPS got their butts in gear so my side steps and bed extender showed up. Didn't take long at all except for drilling (!!!) into my brand new bed. I need a new drill but this one worked just long enough to get the holes drilled. I sprayed rustoleum in the holes to keep the rust away.

I love how the black steps contrast with the red and match the black wheels. Excuse the dirt, it was snowing and they're saying rain so no bath till tomorrow.

 

My new truck! V6... Says XP too for the appearance package I think

 

That didn't take long! Congrats on the new truck!

 

Looks nice! What comes with the XP package? And how much $?

 

I'm glad to see that they totaled it and you will be back in a new truck soon.

 

Did you take your grill off to go on the new truck?

 

what steps are those?

 

Congrats on your new purchase!

 

Well, I finally got around to doing some things.

1. Replaced the Inferno Dash trim with a black version
   
2. Installed 2015 OEM Running Boards
3. Changed my start up screen
4. Added OEM Mud Flaps
5. Threw in some OEM All weathers
6. Plastidipped the grill

I work for a company that owns a few toyota dealer, so I get a discount on the OEM (thats why I went that route with many of the additions. Here are the pictures of the progress:
