What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

PM received.

 

Today I waited the fifth day for Customer Service to contact me. Opened a case 7/6, for poor service/unresolved issues, and Toyota said dealer would call within 48 hours. Maybe they meant metric hours. Still waiting. I did tell Toyota I am too embarrassed to drive the noisy dog in the hope they would expedite repairs. Tick tock. Just gives me more time to price Colorados.

 

Light bar went in over the weekend. Hopefully take care of the wiring this weekend.
Super easy but I have battle wounds

 

Looking good! I'm considering doing the same thing to my truck, please send along beam pattern pics when you get it wired!

 

Installed my Plano rifle case today. 105F at 3pm. I hate you Florida.

Ordered some ditch brackets and 2x3 pods....now the wait begins. Sucks that it takes about 2 days more on average for things to get here at Edwards. Almost most ordered a switch pro system last night, then my wife saw the computer

 

Anyone have any experience with this system?

I'm intrigued by the turn down, and I don't love the weak sounding exhaust, but don't really want to drop a ton of money on something I'm going to smash on rocks and stuff.

 

Something else to consider: in rare cases dealers will try to pin engine troubles on aftermarket exhaust systems. Again, it's very rare, but I'd still be wary about installing something like that until after my power train warranty had expired.

 

Another good point! Thanks for the info.

 

I have it installed on my truck. Sounds great IMO, but some think it is too loud in the cab. Install took me an hour in the driveway.

 

They can try, but all that it's going to do is void any coverage of the cat back. If one was to tamper with the cats, that's when you'd be having real issues.

I've never had an issue with a dealer with a cat back. Closest I came was when my cats failed on my Titan. Due to them being the primary cats on the manifold, there was no way the cat back ruined them...and the dealer folded when I brought it up. You just have to stick to your guns.

 

Here's the video of the finish Plasti dip, I tried to post it with the picks yesterday but I didn't know how until I got some help from tcBob,
Upload your video to www.youtube.comthen you can just drop its link into a post here and everyone can see it
Thx tcBob.

Enjoy, and thanks to all the videos and post that helped me with the Plasti-dip

 

I got a ticket for that once in AB. Work truck so I just expense accounted it... LOL

 

Yeah buy a colorado. Been there, done that!

 

MERCA.. Fuck yeah

 

Nice, I've got those too and love them.

 

How bad was your lean? On the rear the drivers side is a full 1 1/2 inches lower than the right and on the front it's close to 3/4 of an inch lower on the passengers side. Dealer said it could be the canopy, more Fiberglass on one side of it. Don't understand that one.

 

Added some ditch lights.

 

Put on proper sized tires(265/75/16 dynapro ATMs), derped badges, and put in LED low beams, fogs, switchback DRL/Turns, and dimmed down the auto shifter gear indicator with a small piece of silver vinyl(that Drive indicator always shines right in my eyes)

 

I was thinking of asking if anyone had come up with a mod for that, the light coming from "D" at night is so annoying.
