What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Spring. You?

 

Yup, mine does. My 2012 also rattled when slightly cracked but if I crack it a little more, it stops rattling. Fuckin' annoying man!

 

Hey, another spring guy! I work in Spring off I-45 and Airtex. I live in Cypress.

 

I just tucked the cord behind the plastic trim and the bottom of the cover doesn't interfere with the use of the lumbar adjuster.

 

Try tightening the window track, should fix it.

 

Haha, I probably should have done that yesterday when I had the door panel off. Shit!!

 

Hindsight and all that.. Easy fix though. Wont take more than 30 minutes to do all of the doors.

 

Yup! I'll be sure to do that when I Dynamat the other three doors. Actually, Toyota is replacing my driver's door speaker tomorrow or Wednesday, so I'll have them do it!

 

Have you tried chemical guys citrus wash soap to strip off old wax/sealant?

 

Yes. Drives me crazy!

Had mine in the shop several times in 2.5 years. The most recent trip they said all the new ones on the lot have the same rattle. NICE.

 

Perfect. Thanks Toyota, super helpful...

I'm going to replace my speakers eventually, I'll have to look into tightening the track when I'm in the door panel

 

Set up a little DIY truck bed light. Using a LED flashlight $12 from Amazon + a bicycle bottle mount $7 I found at Walmart.

 

I spy a matching 1st GEN IS!
Looking to sell my 2014 IS and get back into a 1st GEN. Miss my modded 2001
Hard to find with low mileage, especially a wagon...

Ive even started looking south of the border.

 

Installed Hondo’s Vent Unholey mount. Decided to go with Scosche’s XL magnet mount for my iPad and just completed the Mojave Road and it never dropped off once, didn’t even shift. Plus I took the arm off the Hondo mount and used it to clamp onto my center support of my RTT and my son and I watched movies at night in bed with the iPad suspended in the top of the tent above us. The magnet option is great because you can easily take off the iPad and place it again one handed. Plus this is my daily driver so when I’m not off road all that’s left is the ram ball, vent is positioned where it hits my passenger.

 

What map program are you running?

 

Yesterday I threw in the tailgate anti theft hose clamp even though I already have a tonneau and pop n lock. Figured might as well throw it on. Also resoldered my major fail when initially wiring the ditch lights and prepped to put in the Powertray. Then I drove and coated the nice clean front with bugs lol.

 

Their best excuse was that it is built that way for the safety retract in case you have your head, or some other body part, in the window when it is closing. They wouldn't fix mine since the new ones are the same. Eventually I will fix it. Only an issue when open between 1" and 5". So it only rattles like 80% of the time when I am driving. Surprised they didn't offer to caulk it for me.

 

I really like Gaia GPS, easy and accurate. The labeled satellite view and USGS topos are my go to. My iPad has GPS and with the sunroof never lost GPS once
