What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You can buy the part off eBay or your local Toyota dealership. They'll be able to look up the left cap with sensors when you give them your vin. Unfortunately they cap won't be painted. You'll probably need to find a reputable body shop to color match.

 

AND added a flagpole to the roof! WOW!

 

Then why do I (and hundreds others) have that shitass ugly sparkly silver grille on my OR?!?

 

Did you remove the oil filter housing drain plug first?

 

LOL, cuz their target audience likes bling! I don't consider myself part of that group. It's funny, there's a lady down the street from me with another inferno off road, totally stock, says "why would someone do all that stuff to a perfectly nice truck?" She's probable 15 years older than me and I was like, "Damn" with my lips closed. If ya have to ask. I'll make here an offer on it when she's too old to drive it and it's sitting in her garage with 45K on it and it'll be cherry just like the '86 she had until this one.

 

It has been around a couple of weeks. 1500 miles and 19.7-21.5 mpg on all tanks. Both ATL city bumper to bumper and all highway tanks. About 3-4mpg better than my 14 6spd with same options unless all highway, then about 1-2 mpg better.

Simply had Husky Xact Contours and a bed mat until I installed the ADD W1 oil catch can today. Door sill protectors, bed extender and the despised front air deflector have yet to be installed. Zero plans to lift it or replace tires until they're worn.

Take the siren bracket in the left engine bay out and drill a second hole, replace the 10mm with a longer one and use some washers so the catch-can is serviceable without removal. That's about it. I used about 8 1/2 ft of 5/16 fuel line.

 

This looks like it might be able to be popped back out. I have seen multiple ways on youtube with heat gun and pushing on it from the inside. Take a look and I bet you can make this look a lot better. Worst case you have to replace it. Sorry to hear about this!

 

Damn. She's old!







Yes. That's all I took away from that post.

 

Got my sliders installed today! This was the 2nd set @Mobtown Offroad sent out for a DCLB, and we both had the same problem at install of them being a tad too long to sit flush on the frame. Joe went back and forth with me on the phone for 2 hours last Saturday, and we've exchanged pictures, measurements and CAD drawings before we finally figured the problem out.

The point of all my rambling is that they gave me the option of building me a new set, having these fixed and repowdered near me in Raleigh, or just coming to my house to weld, paint and install. I gave them the choice since I was fine with any of the solutions.

They decided to drive 6 hours in a nasty rain to my house, set up a makeshift shop and trim the sliders, weld a new cap on the end, paint and install for me. They said they wanted to see the problem in person so they could fix it for future DCLBs. Can you believe that level of customer service?! They made me feel guilty for my sliders not fitting correctly...lol

I still can't believe they gave such an effort to make one deal right. It makes me feel like there may be hope for this country after all

So, the moral of the story is...check these guys out! They have badass stuff and they stand behind it.

 

I use to have a shit bucket with toilet lid for real. But Id rather the poo go on the ground.. I don't really have a need to save it in buckets LOL

If i had one I'd go bucketless with the bumper dumper in the places I'd use it. I guess some people think it's bad to poop on the ground... I don't throw trash on the ground but I'll poop and pee in the woods quick.

I showed the wife who thought it was hilarious. But she also said i should get one so it's easier for her when we are camping. Pissing standing up is easier for guys according to her haha!

 

Damn....I could use a dump-bed....LOL!

 

Installed a Bakflip Fibermax. Love it but it came in damaged on the underneath. I bought it from Auto Anything. Not sure if I should send back or just put some JB weld on it?

 

Pulled out the jump seats, seatbelts and shoulder harnesses and rear console (if
you want to call it that), sound deadened the back wall with a layer of RAAMMAT,
a layer of Ensolite, a layer of EzCool and reinstalled the PVC-Pet (which was the
ONLY factory insulation on the back wall) - reinstalled the plastic Panel. Took out
the rear storage compartments and lined the floor with a layer of Ensolite and a
layer of EzCool. Applied a layer of Ensolite and EzCool to the cab’s rear posts.
Removed rear door panels and put RAAMmat on outer and inner skins and covered
the inner RAAMmat with Ensolite and EzCool. Tomorrow I think I will start on the
front doors and floorboards/firewall. I am thinking about Removing the headliner
and putting EzCool on the inner roof. Anyone take down a headliner yet?

 

FN f(x) Pros in dark gloss gunmetal came today. Going Saturday to have BFG 265/70/17 KO2s put on them. They really match the MGM and go from black to mgm in different light and angles.

 

How did you mount the little flag to the roof?

 

Self-tapping metal screws straight in to the roof. Just waiting on the confederate flag to come in for the other side.

 

I hate that they removed the floor mat locks on the passenger side , they keep sliding up all the times

 

Looking forward to seeing these on your truck! I was looking at the black ones but if these look sweet it might sway my decision

 

I'll post some pics this weekend.
