What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just ordered . Thanks

 

I just want to throw this out there:

$40 Bolt 7023584 5/8" Receiver Lock for Toyota Keys

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C5T0JCI

It was mentioned maybe here or another thread. It keys on the first use to the Tach ignition key.

Pretty sweet IMHO.

 

what did u use to tint them?!? looks good!

 

I had one of these on my 4RUNNER. Loved it. Not sure if this works with keyless entry vehicles though. I'd be curious to hear if anyone is using it with one.

 

Yeah. It probably wouldn't work very well with that valet / emergency key thing.

 

Why not?

I've got the "stupid" system... Remote entry in the bulbous head of the key, but I'm curious.

 

I don't have the keyless start / stop system (and am happy that I don't). I thought that I read the hidden key was plastic? If so, it is probably not something that you want to use in the hitch pin?

Wait a sec, you have a MT. That will work just fine with this. I was just talking about the keyless start key.

 

Skid arrived today. Now for powdercoating... I'm thinking red. Decisions, decisions!

 

Oh, I know it would work for me. Just wondering about the keyless start thingie.

The key/lock variations continue to confound me. In the case of keyless start and an actual valet, I suppose you have to hand over the smart key, but do you then remove the "hidden" key to, say, restrict access to your bed? (rhetorical question)

 

I've got the Barcelona Red machine, so I had mine done in "Black Red" powder-coat.

 

Cleaned under the hood a bit

 

I hear you. I like the simplicity that we have. My boss has had several keyless start cars, and they still have issued with forgetting the fob and using it in general.

I never felt that a physical key was somehow deficient. That said, I did like the location that saab used, near the shifter.

 

I had read a review in some car magazine where the writer absolutely HATED the keyless start system. He and some other writers were gathered together by a manufacturer to test drive several different models on sort of a group drive. They would trade off vehicles every so often, leaving them running. People would forget they had the key for the LAST vehicle they drove, and the individual driving THAT vehicle would shut it off at some point and then discover they couldn't restart it. Sounded like some sort of comedy routine.

 

I prefer the key system personally. I let someone drive my truck the other day. They left the key in the cup holder. I literally tore my house apart looking for the dang thing the next day when I went to drive it again. 45 minutes later I find it.

 

The future is AWESOME!

What a crock!

Ouch. Considering that I don't like things in my pockets, I would be searching around continually.

 

Looks like NASA sent a Taco to the moon.

 

Did the entire front bumper cover have to come off for you to swap the fog light area bezel out? I'm trying to take that piece out for modification.

 

It's all about personal preference. Both of my cars have keyless start and I love it. I find it much more convenient. To each his own...

 

Not today, but over the weekend:

Rough Country 30"



Question - does anyone know how to take off this bezel without removing the entire front bumper cover?

 

I had to leave her at the Airport today. I pray she will be safe for the next 4 days. Even borrowed my girlfriends sun visor.
