What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm at work and the lighting in the parking garage isn't the best, so I took several pictures. I hope this helps!

 

After going to dealer who sent me to a body shop to add the crappy foam glue to my flexing hood . That made it 50% better . I went back to the dealer and they snugged up the hood stops . This did no good at all .
I hopefully fixed it myself with liquid nails . I did every open gap in all areas , even the ones that I did not see a problem .
My worst area was about 12 inches in front of the windshield , off center to the drivers side . I t flexed with the slightest bump.
It has been 20 hours and I can press on it from inside the hood and it seems to be fixed for good. Liquid nails is supposed to remain flexible to all ow for temp. changes etc. We will see.
It takes 7 days for it to fully cure so I cannot paint it until then . My local auto body supply will make a spray can for me for $20 . it really is not needed but what the heck .

 

Welded up a bracket for off road lights, still need to rattle can it with bed liner, just test fitting today

 

Nice! how much lift will that kit give you?

 

After some back and forth between Husky and WeatherTech, ended up getting the factory rubber mats ( PT908-36164-2) and bed liner (

Also drank the kool aid and bought the factory tailgate chrome inserts (

Don't know about you guys but I'm borderline in love with my truck !

 

Got mine back up in its natural habitat..

 

Sending you a PM

 

Like you Bill sticker.

 

My guess is the windows / doors /profile looks very similar to the 2nd gen and someone stoop up in a meeting and said, why not put some black vinyl between the doors and everyone applauded.

 

Like those, what kind are they
thanks

 

Yeah, she can do that to ya, 9 months in and I still love her

 

Thank you!
Carhartt seat covers by cover craft. I really like them.

 

Dear Mr Toyota, give me a new hood or I go postal on your dealership.

 

Got my rack and bike racks mounted up on my undercover. Now I have a roof rack i can actually reach!

 

Swapped out the rear diff and xfer case fluids @8.5k. OEM fluid looked pretty clean, but wanted to move to Redline Synthetic (

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 GL5). A bit of fuzz on the magnet, but about what would be expected. Xfer case got Redline MT-90 (75w-90 GL4). Will hit the front diff soon, but no rush as it has not gotten much use yet.

 

Is this what you used for the rear Diff. ?

$91 Red Line 57905 75W90 GL-5 Synthetic Gear Oil for Hypoid Limited Slip Differentials - 1 Gallon

Red Line 57905

 

Reach inside the grill and gently press the 3 tabs inward. The emblem will slide out.

 

Well thank you kindly

 

Correct, but 57904 for the quarts. Took just about 3.5

 

About 2" of lift with the amount of preload I want to run, but I'm not worried about the lift as much as I am the function.
