What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

BBP rocks

 

I have been looking at clazzios, I may need to look into the roadwire. Are they covers or are they like Katzkin? Do you have any other pics of them? They look nice from what you have on here

 

Get this thing up and running so I can see you mobbin through gilbert!!

 

Sounds good, maybe a lil anti sieze on the threads then. Thanks!

 

This is my dedicated tow rig if you're concerned:

I use my Tacoma to haul smaller things, particularly around my cabin where this truck just isn't practical because of it's size. I also haul a 12' Trailer with UTV/ATV and do not necessarily need a truck w/9MPG's to do that. I will probably do some overlanding in the taco as well and know from experience that I will want more load control when I'm packed full of gear and such.

 

My 2005 Saab 9-7X had airbags and a compressor built-in with an outlet and hose+gauge long enough to reach all 4 tires. My guess is the Envoy and Trailblazer models did also. Sadly, we have a 110v outlet that is good enough for a light bulb built-in rather than something useful.

ARB CKMP12, came in a plastic storage box with switch and relay already mounted and wired, just took it out of that box and mounted it in the truck

 

Just bit the bullet (albeit a small one) and ordered these dome / map lights on Amazon.
Does anything stick out as being incompatible with either of these? Has anyone used the same ones?

In the end, does the suspension ride a little bit stiffer, yes it does. it feels just like a trucks sapposed to feel like NOW. Why Toyota put a car suspention in a truck is beyond me

 

Where did you get that and what brand?

 

It's a cheapie I found on Amazon. The only one with dimensions to fit under factory tonneau and as wide as I could get between fender wells.

Factory alarm but that's the glass breaking sensor. It's the other half of the alarm they charge you for.

 

Yeah. Not pushing hard to sell it but I might have to. Adulting sucks sometimes.

 

To remove useless cubby tray there is one bolt by left foot. Then yank long step plate up. Left kick panel pulls toward you the out (gently). Then 3 screws under dash and a bolt that was hidden under left kick plate you removed. You can now unscrew useless cubby and install the switch panel from previously quoted thread. I used the mic tuning switch and jumped the red 1 and red 2 so LED is not always on because overly bright. When it lights up I know light bar is on.

 

That sucks .. not sure what adulting is

 

Via urban dictionary:
"Adulting (v): to do grown up things and hold responsibilities such as, a 9-5 job, a mortgage/rent, a car payment, or anything else that makes one think of grown ups."

I had to look it up the first time I heard it too. I mean, seriously, does anyone ever really grow up?

 

Ah gotcha. You want to take your new toy out on some trails crawling over rocks and stuff. Jealous.

I'm more of a logging road to light/med off-roader which is why I went the sport route and will probably go more overland in the build. Still would like a locking diff. Perhaps I'll install arbs in a couple of years if I need it.
