What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any way to change high and low beam bulbs, and fogs, to upgrade them, inexpensively?

 

I wonder who will be the first guy to make a 3rd gen convertible. I would guess someone in California.

 

Just make sure you don't try to return the girlfriends blow dryer to the wife. She will know. And it won't be pretty for you. Or your truck.

 

Bring back T-tops!!!

 

T-tops? Really? Can we get a gold chicken decal for the bonnet too?

 

And some louvers for the rear window!!
Girls be like!!

 

She can have anything she wants lol

 

I just picked at them with my fingernail and pulled slowly and they came off pretty easy. Then cleaned off with Goof Off for cars. I didn't need a hairdryer.

 

Did you apply plenty of soap water first and soak it before you peeled?

 

I just let it sit in the sun for a while and they peeled right off.

 

That looks awesome! Details on fit and finish? How do you like the integrated light bar?

 

So far..OEM TRD Pro wheel set. 265/70R17 BFG KO2's. Window tint and clear bra. Customcargills.com OEM bezel/Toyota logo grill. Husky Liners (fit like a glove). Gonna level it, and Plasti dip the Side badges and remove the rear V6 badge, remove the air dam, and then I'm calling this thing done..really I'm calling it Beastmaker. Because i feel like an animal when I'm driving it.

 

what a beauty!

 

After heating an emblem up with a hair dryer, I always use one of those wooden paint stirring sticks you get at the paint dept, as they are a nice soft wood and a lot safer to use against paint than a plastic scraper which is a lot harder than a paint stirring stick. What I do with before with before I start is cut about 3 to 4 inches off of the end so that it's not so flexible and has more strength, and it's a lot softer against paint than a plastic scraper.

I gradually heat up the entire emblem first, then I start heating up one end more with the hair dryer while applying light pressure between the emblem and the body, then as soon as the emblem starts to release, I just keep the hair dryer pointing an inch or two ahead and proceed with pushing the paint stick forward until the emblem pops off.

To protect the chrome emblems in case you want to re-apply them later in a different area, it's a good idea to place a piece of cardboard on the ground, that way you can just let the emblem drop onto the cardboard without it getting damaged or scratched.
