What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks

 

I don’t think I’m SR envy. I love my 2017 TRD Off-Road. Just switching out some cosmetic touches to go with the route my truck is going with my build. I personally feel Chrome is kind of out of place on these trucks. I purchased the off-road package, not for its chrome, but for all the goodies that are included. I wanted a truck that will maintain its value and be as reliable as possible over time. The crawl control is nice (not sure how often I will actually need it), but the Rear Locking Diff will be the difference in you making it through any serious off road terrain. For the money, I wanted my truck to have the maximum traction ability to get as far off the highway as possible, if need be, and never need to be pulled out by anyone else! Locking axles are arguably one of the single best upgrades you can add to increase four wheeling ability. They do wonders for rock crawling, mud, and anywhere that the rear tires don't have even traction. If all of your off pavement activity is on graded dirt roads, the SR is probably the better route and the TRD is probably not a necessity. However, if you are trying to do more challenging trails, the TRD is a good call. Therefore, not SR envy at all!

 

Thanks they are color keyed pocket flares that came on the trucks XSP package from Southeast Toyota region. Not many around here but I guess Toyota parts could order them

 

Just google auto plastic cleaner and you'll get some good options of products to choose from and youtube demo videos.

 

I think you might have read way too much into that. I agree that the chrome is BS and have covered most of it on the interior and am going to make the grille right once it warms up here. I probably won't swap the handles since I don't notice them as much as the other stuff. Also, removing the stupid stickers on the sun visors was a massive improvement also.

The 3rd Gen interior is really nice, just that they could have stopped with were things are in the SRs.

 

Will do.

 

I agree 100%

 

Do they now make one for the short bed that doesnt require cutting?

 

Pics please.

 

Looks great! I plan to do this at some point. Can you still drive on the wheels with the faux plate removed?

 

You are going to love that Dakar pack. Huge improvement over stock.

 

The rim is actually one piece even though it appears to not be. So yeah you can still drive around with the bolts out.

 

Easy installation I run all the wiring below the cab, It came out really good and clean, it took me 3 hour because i was very careful when i was cutting the inside part of the bumper

 

Ebay

 

Good to know thanks. Nice to be able to have zero downtime.

 

I like when people say taking the B pillar vinyl off makes us 2nd Gen wanna b's. LOL
I like moddin' and I'm old so I don't care.

 

Yea. I would like to know too please, thanks.

 

Finished up the license mount at my shop this morning
