What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

More of my cheapo low budget/no budget mods. Used a sharpie on my amber bulbs.

Before



Half way


After


I figured I would never be able to afford the headlight mod or pro lights. I also heard chrome amber bulbs burn out quickly.
I did lose a little brightness but I don't think enough to affect safety. I tried to capture it in a video. TW wouldn't support my format.
Here is a link to you tube vid.

How did you hook yours up?

 

I did!

 

I didn't and really don't care.

 

Now get off my lawn!

!! Thanks for the early Morn laugh! Great way to start off a Monday morning.

 

Derp'n

Both badges are the same color plastiderp (Gunmetal). The front is a more accurate example of the true color. The lighting on the side badge made it way brighter than reality.

 

Unless they are one of the millions of people on earth who like German cars.

 

Loaded up some old junk from my 4runner to take to the scrap guy.... went ahead and dumped a quart of gear oil out in the back of my truck in the process... ugh.

 

Trd shift knob with white lettering and glove box white lettering

 

I put wheels on her Saturday.

 

Lets see the rear setup

 

Finally got my softopper on and all setup. Its only been a few days but already loving it.

Had to lower it real quick this weekend to fit some trees in the back and it worked great. When done raised right back into position without issue. Taking it camping this coming weekend for the first time so we will see how it does in the wild.

Also moved my tools on the side rails to work with the top, and installed a LED bed light for camping in the back. Now just to get out of town!!

 

Something to aspire to! Such a sick truck
What width rims?

 

Not today, but in the last week...

3" front and 1" rear ProComp kit and the shovel/axe holddowns.

 

I always kept a soft storage container in the back of my previous vehicle. I found that the floor space in back of the drivers seat was too small for the container. I didn't want to put the container on the seat or fold down the back rest. I guess it would be debatable on the best choice. I did notice that the lower seat had only two bolts holding it in so I removed the seat and my container fits on the floor.



I then saw the empty space where the seat was and decided to make a platform.



I hinged the platform so I could still have access to the storage compartment.
