What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OK Gang! If anyone is interested?

I’ve just about “Tricked-Out" my Plain Jane Taco SR to my liking. I’ve done the following Mods as per moe2o4’s fine instructions ;-) Cruise Control, Fog Lights & Wiper Mod.
WeatherTech floor mats/mud guards.
Toyota rubber bed mat.
Fiamm El Grande dual horns
Body side and grill trim.
Some pics:

Fog Light Kit that moe recommended with Hella yellow bulbs. SS Trim in center of grill.

2 1/4" Body side moulding from a 90's Chevy Van.

Close-Up of Trim

I found some Magnetic tape (picture hanging) at Wally-World that worked great for setting a "Line"

Fiamm Horns mounted in Factory location. Used two "L" brackets from hardware store and fashioned a "Y" connector to use with OEM harness. Sounds like a truck now;-)

That's IT for now!! I ordered a Century High-C Topper today .... I hope it's not made on a Monday!! ;-(

MERRY WEEKEND!!

PS: I've got 16 1/2 + Feet' of this Body Trim. I had to order enough for a Big Chevy Van. It only takes 15" to do a Taco. If anybody would like to buy it and all the stuff I got to do the job I can make Ya a Deal!

 

FIFY

 

Got an update from DeMello Offroad this morning; Icon stage 6 is in and my sliders are at powder coating!

I should be lifted and a little protected in less than a week!

 

Nice! Hope pics are soon to follow.

 

But of course! I'll post detailed pics and before and after measurements once she's all done

 

That setup looks great. Do they have different offsets for these wheels? I might order a set but I want to make sure I get the ones you have. Do you have the part number?

 

New grill!

 

For those interested, I just called Fold-A-Cover and they are hoping for the end of the month release of the g4. We can only hope.

 

I paid about 680 for the 17" trd pros.

 

I thought so as well. I'm pretty sure there are a few stories up here of dealerships trying that with people. They told the dealership the papers were signed and that was that. Dealership ended up eating the difference.

 

Today's install.

 

Lets see the light bar

 

You beat me to it

 

False!
Multiple credit pulls placed within a 30day period are all counted as one credit pull according to FICO. http://www.myfico.com/crediteducation/creditchecks/inquiries.aspx
It is common practice to go rate shopping for things like mortgages, student loans, and auto loans. The credit people know this and will not penalize you for it.

It is in your best interest to apply at a few different places. My experience in buying my new 2016 is a prime example. I shopped around on my own and applied for the lowest rate I could find (2.74 from my credit union). When I started this process my Trans Union score was 761 and was approved for this rate from my credit union. I told my dealer about this preapproval and they said they could beat it. I filled out their credit app, and they applied me for 5 other credit applications. I ended up signing on a 2.59% APR with Toyota Financial as the lowest lender oddly enough. At the time of signing (2 weeks ago), the paperwork showed my Trans Union credit score at 758. I just pulled my credit score today, and Trans Union is now at 760 with 4 hard credit pulls shown against it. 2 of the credit pulls that were done have disappeared completely from my record and the 4 remaining have not impacted my score in any significant way since I signed the loan and now have a higher credit balance in my name.

 

OK finally at a stopping point with my truck (I did say stopping, not quiting).

Very true dealers love to finance. Had an aunt went in to buy a 4Runner was paying in full and the dealer still wanted to finance.

 

Just ordered my TRD off-road 4x4 double cab auto in magnetic gray metallic. Wanted the tow package and the premium/technology package, none in the southeast. End of March I should have it.

 

Truck looks good. Did the predator steps come on your truck or did you order those? I need to get some just like those with the tube drop steps.
