What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i am getting kinda shitty mileage but I attributed it to warming up my truck and the larger heavier tires I put on..

 

I hold mine out the window and wave it at all the shitty drivers cutting me off all the time. They don't notice or call the police on me because they are busy texting and fail to look up...

 

Same exact set-up here! HID's so affordable I purchased a second set as a spare, wayyyy brighter then OPT7

 

I wasn't pleased with mine in my old car either. Sure they are bright but the distance is not there since they are relying on light reflect as a means of out put as compared to say a LED flash light or light bar which has a dedicated concentration cone to direct the light in the desired pattern and distance. OPT7 to me are compared to starring at a white sheet of paper during a bright sunny day sure its bright and hard to look at but how much light is concentrate instead of just scattered everywhere. HIDs are a bit different in the sense that they don't have to have a dedicated cone like LEDs since they emit the same light in a 360 degree pattern over every axis available. Sorry for the long story. Just hate to see people disappointed when they notice it's just the plasibo effect of just looking at a white sheet of paper on a sunny day.

 

Painted or plasticote? Looks great

 

The silver looks sharp!!! Nice job!

 

Yes sir!!

 

Well i know one thing , these stock low beams are terrible i drive on dark roads all the time and they sure aren't very bright !! Looking to do something with them so many different set ups with everyone not sure what to do !!

 

In Ca it's better to just get robbed than try to defend yourself. Shooting someone even if you are in the right is going to cost you your house in legal fees, and you'll probably still go to jail.

 

If you go back into that Hypertech and recalibrate it just for tire size, completely take the gear ratio out of that software you will not have to Put in 43 inch tires to make it correct. Putting the gear ratio in is what's throwing it out of whack. They only have the gear ratio in that program if it's for a different vehicle other than the Toyota.

 

Thanks brother I agree, i guess some don't know how it really feels when someone has a loaded weapon pointing at your head. (Former US Army Vietnam Veteran)

 

Appreciate your service fine sir.

 

Anyone use hid's for the high beams? And thanks for your opinions on the opt7's. Might just have to rethink that. Those HIDs are quite a bit less expensive also! I Want to go with piaa ion yellow for fogs.

 

Thanks your welcome

I thought that was to reset the TPMS. To reset the service reminder light page #441 in the manual.

 

Oh yeah your right ... i wasn't thinking. I even told someone a short while back how to reset the maintenace reminder on the center cluster. Thanks for clarifying

 

I went with 100w HID. Here is a picture of them when I first installed them.

 

I just used plasti dip for now. I eventually wanna satoshi with "toyota" like my last truck but I had to get rid of the ugly chrome for now.

 

This doesn't make sense.

They don't make a manual off road access cab. You said you test drove one but then said the manual only comes in a 5' bed. That's not the bed on an access cab.

I know this because I really wanted a manual but did not want four doors. So I had to go auto.

 

Any chance you've got a link to the ones you used?
