What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Why doesn't a 2017 truck have intermittent wipers and cruise?

 

So fucking sick. Nice ride!

 

My wife helped be install a TRD Pro grill. I broke my arm a month ago, and she provided needed power that I don't have yet. Images when I get the suspension, sliders, and bumper on.

 

Got my Rago ditch light mounts and light brackets back from the powder coater yesterday so I decided to install my Black Oak LED ditch light pods and wire it all up with a CH4x4 custom switch today.

Here's the end result.




Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a chance to install my Rokblokz mud guards and the LED headlights.

 

Hell yea. Great look. I want the same rim and tire set up, but with 3.5" BS.

 

They stayed on the trade. The wheels are off a 4Runner Trail Edition. I had sold my sport wheels already. I'm honestly "meh" on the sport hood. I thought it looked damn good, but you don't realize how it impedes your sight lines until you have a hood without it. At 5'9 I'm not exactly tall, but it did block enough of my view to where I don't miss it.

 

Not the fanciest mod, but it's a start! Still mapping out all the plans for the truck.

 

Getting ready to go off-road in Eastern Oregon or Idaho for the Eclipse - just mounting some recovery tools and my new "trailer levelers" if we have to camp on a hill!

 

Have fun! I just got back from Portland and taking the our Jayco 195rb baja up to Florence OR for a few days next month. Love that state!

 

Forgot I also put a Rago relay mount on too. Had it powder coated glossy white to match the truck too.



Now all I have to do is find some way to mount a set of pods on the back of the truck facing the reverse but I don't want to mount them on/in the bumper or on the top of the topper so I'm going to have to find some kind of mount that puts them mid way up the truck, maybe there's something out there somewhere.

 

Finished my sleeping platform project!



If anyone is interested in doing the same I'll post a full write up in its own thread.

 

Hopefully some of these fires will be out and smoke gone. No smoke at the coast though.

 

Yeah it was surprisingly heavy last week. Canadians need to get on it!

 

This looks so much easier than the one I built for my 2002 with a duraliner- all the 2017's bed sides are square! Sweet!! I had to cut a bunch of stupid shapes into the edges on mine. Now that I have a 2017, my socks rolled up and down when I saw the bed!

 

Well we have our own share of fires in the mountains. Firefighters are doing all they can...

 

That was more of a light hearted joke. I've scratched my share of line.

 

The awning is the 2 meter TJM awning, basically equivalent to an ARB awning. I mounted it using the provided stainless steel L-brackets and 1.5" square trailer leaf spring u-bolts to bolt into the crossbar (Amazon - $17). I did not want to drill the cross bar or use hose clamps. I have driven ~3000 miles with this set-up and have not observed movement, its solid. I just posted pictures of the F5s finally mounted.

 

It's very hard work I'm sure. And oops, missed that one......lol

 

Did you have to paint the inside of the cap, or are they already black?

 

Took the fam camping at the lake with the internal penguin and ita new SCS wheels...
