What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

After my King shocks were just installed, I loaded up my XR650R pig. The XR is too long even for my long bed.

 

Super glue them and be done...

 

Have plans already for Sunday. Working on a Ridgeline Monday at work , can't miss that!

Sorry. Will PM you if things change this weekend for Sunday.

Installed my ocf back bumper

 

Appreciate you posting initial observations, really interested in hearing more about this as you break the gears in.

 

More details please! Specificallt, does this bumper allow the use of the OEM sensors? Thanks.

That's why I went with this tube style bumper Because it allows back up sensors and blind spot monitoring most plate style back bumpers don't

 

So far so good. I've been following break in guidelines very strictly and still have about 100 miles to go before 500. I can say even though I've been babying it acceleration much smoother and highway driving is fantastic. Im really looking forward to next week. I'll have hit 500 miles and can run a few heat cycles with the trailer.

 

MBRP?

 

Yeah, MBRP.

I found it online for just under a grand!
Is that a good deal? It's a two piece bumper too. Odd.

I can see 4 sensor locations in the close up pic but are the sensors on the outside corners the cross traffic sensors? I saw a replacement bumper in another post and the corners had a much larger rectangle plastic insert for the RCT sensors.

 

Here it is:

1200 shipped.

Oh, and what I call rear cross traffic sensors, C4 calls it BSM or blind spot monitoring. You have to add that feature.

Toyota calls it RCT too.

 

Toyota calls it Blind Spot Monitoring. There's a nice little BSM button in my truck for it, that can be activated/deactivated at will.

 

Yeah, I've only had mine for a few weeks, and have noticed the same issue. It's driving my fiancé crazy. So I'm trying to figure out what to do to fix it. Is there a write up on that mod? The other thought I've had is adding Velcro to the bottom of the floor mats. I have two sets so if I mess one up I always have a backup.

 

I haven't purchased them yet, but I found these on Amazon...

Eagle Klaw - Floor Mat Clips Set of Anti-Slip Fixing Retainers for Car Mats - Made in USA - Black - Pack of 2 for 1 Mat + 3/8" Cutter

It looks like all you need to do is use the metal hole punch thing to put a hole in the mat.. then the rest looks pretty easy. There are a couple of cartoony looking pics on the left that semi show directions.

 

Bought these a couple weeks ago for my weather beaters. I highly recommend. Very easy installation and work great. Just make sure you line everything up right before making the holes.

 

Got my windows tinted and gave it a good wash. 5% on the back and 18% on the fronts.

 

Mine are way easier to install I got these Kungfu Mall Car Mat Carpet Clips Fixing Grips Clamps Floor Holders Sleeves from Amazon for $7. And you don't have to punch anything it's like a pin so you just have to put the needle where you need it and it's easy to realigned. It also doesn't move at all it's super sturdy.

 

Yo magnetictraxics looks real good that is my second choice for truck color. You should think about takin that badge off the front door it sticks out

 

I thought Blind Spot Monitoring was the alert system for cars along side of you while you're moving and go to change lanes. Are those sensors located in the rear bumper too? If so then I have 6 sensors total back there and only 4 of them are visible. This would explain why the C4 bumper has the cutouts with plastic covers for the Rear Cross Traffic system sensors. This must be hidden on the OEM bumpers, and I don't see anything in the description of the OCF bumper for this feature at all. Maybe the are there in the pics but I don't know what I'm looking at.

Either way, RCT is more important to me than BSM. I do like the price and look of the OCF bumper though. Maybe it can be retrofitted to accept RCT.
