What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They look cool, but get rid of that lock ASAP, those are identical to the TSA luggage locks i deal with at work and can be opened by any idiot in about 30 seconds or less

 

for sure! hows the drone on the 40 series? I'm noticing the drone in 4th-6th gear around 1300 rpm is were the drone is really noticeable

 

Not sure what you mean about the drone sound?? That deep humming sound?? I get a constant low hum sound right about 1.5k rpm... I like it If i keep it right there i get the best MPG numbers. I use the exhaust sound to help control my fuel economy. I have heard some people get vibrations in their truck from their exhausts... I dont get any vibrations or rattling from my exhaust though.

The 40 series is pretty loud honestly, my wife thinks its TOO loud. But i love it. You can hear it in the cab almost constantly, even with the radio on low volume and windows up. Its not so loud you cant have a conversation with the passengers though.

 

Well, damn. That's a great deal! I thought $215 was a steal.

 

You got guts sir! I've been throwing around the idea of a snorkel (mainly for the dusty trails in AZ and looks) when they come available for 3rd gen. That will be the only mod I have somebody else install because I don't have the guts to drill into my fender or A post!

 

Had my 2011 STi for 14 months before cluing back in that I am just not a car guy when it comes to a daily driver. Though, that car was a whole pile of fun.

 

This is happening today. Hopefully can have them check out this mysterious seatbelt sensor in the passenger seat...

 

I know it's scary... make a hole in the roof... but with the right tools, it's the best choice for a everyday use. The ground plane is optimal and visually, it gives a low profile & discreet look.

I had the same setup for 6 years on my old truck (GMC Canyon), when I sold it to the dealer, he even told me for the hole. Never rust or water infiltration problem after six years and harsh winters in my area of Quebec (many abrasives for snow/ice on the roads). It was like the first day I did the hole.

With time, the lip or magnetic base mounts do more damage to the bodywork.

If I'm installing a Metaltech bumper and synthetic winch, should I go with the medium load or heavy load OME suspension kit? Or should I avoid the kit in general and part my suspension pieces together?

Hit 6,100 miles when I pulled in the driveway last night

 

I've never heard of those but it looks like you need one of these once inside... In all seriousness do you have any more pictures, I went to there website and they only had one of the outside.

 

Irvine Toyota! Unless you are there are 6AM you stuck in line!

 

Looks like Glendora too

 

I'm thinking Toyota sells those same plans to dealerships, because I'd swear that was the service/parts building for Autonation (formerly Champion) Toyota of Austin.

 

Somebody a while back got one of theses to successfully program to their Highlander...Perhaps I'll dive into trying to see if it works for our trucks. The FCC-ID numbers match up, so it should be as simple as getting someone with Techstream to see if they can program it. It doesn't have any buttons, but it functions just the same as your fob for lock/unlock....and it stays in the wallet! (Push to start only, obviously)

 

I have been waiting for someone smarter than me to do this! I have been using my regular smart key in my wallet for now, but would rather get rid of that bulge.

 

You are right. At fist glance it looked like Irvine.

 

Damn, you fit your smart key in your wallet?!

 

It is Glendora. Real close to me. Mysterious seatbelt sensor fixed, just needed to be 're-calibrated' according to them. Cost: $0 so I'm happy with that and a free ride.

 

Man that looks sick! makes me also want the cement grey when the pro comes out!
