What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

have the grill front face downward and try to use your fingers to push the tab. that will reduce the likelihood of breaking the tab and gravity will help keep the part from snapping back into place.

 

I second this

 

Great idea, probably ganna do this, thanks!

 

Sweet! I just tapped off the center, did about 5-6 coats with the first at 50%, and removed the tape line while it was still wet. Let me know how it turns out.

 

Turned out well! The silver Bezel snapped in half. Ugh. If anyone has one they want to get rid of let me know. I'm going to get it painted anyways.

 

Installed a light bar behind the grill at a buddy's shop.

 

Ok then the video from Sparks Parts (black truck posted above) doesn't know what he's talking about because that's the video I watched prior to doing it. Either way, it's easy.

 

Whoa. Why did you take off the hood latch???

 

Tattoo removal. Most of them, at least.

AFTER:


Not sure how long this will last... probably just a couple of days.

 

That sucks. Sorry about that

 

Measured out train horns and removed it for planning.

 

Not sure it will help with ride height but should ride quality when you tow.

 

I can't wait to see how that turns out. I've been thinking about doing the same.

 

Shit picture, but I finished up my lift. Little stuff left to do like rear brake lines and CMC.
Fox 2.5
Fox 2.0 rear
Wheelers bump stops
Dakar pack
LR UCA's were previously installed.
285/70r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers


Gonna give it a week to settle and I'll fine tune everything. Bunch of mods left on the list.

 

No. Helpers like the sumos, add a leaf, or a new leaf pack are what will help with sag.

 

Yeah, Just sux that the holes weren't predrilled from Voodoo since rack was powdered coating. Had to do some touch up after I drilled the holes ;-(

 

Apparently he doesn't LOL

But yes. Easy regardless!

Nice... How'd you get the pinstripes out?

 

My passenger side Toyota all weather mat wouldn't stay in place and really irked me. The drivers side has hold downs but not the passenger side.


I found these https://eagleklaw.com/ online and installed them. Super easy and solved the problem.

 

Installed the AMP Research Bed Extender. Super easy with excellent provided instructions and even better install instructions here in the forum.
The Amp Research Bracket comes with sheet metel screws to secure the brackets, while the Toyota OEM uses bolts.
For the install I used the sheet metal screws but after doing so I think I'll I switch them to some S.S. Bolts eventually (Like some have already posted about doing in the forum). Some pictures-

 

I originally ordered a pair of stick-on AVS vent/rain guards, but one of them was delivered cracked so I returned them. I'm kinda glad they did come cracked because I was not impressed with the quality of them. They seemed thin and flimsy. Just my opinion.
So I went ahead and ordered the Weather-tech in channel rain guards. Zero issues installing, quite easy and they seem like great quality.
