What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What did you use to make sure you didnt scratch the paint and also remove the film. Googone or 3m?

 

These are the exact ones I ave on my list. I’ve been talking with Eric for some time now working on my Rear Suspension System These are Wheeler’s Super Bumps and @mesojdm got Wheeler’s Timbren Off Road Bump Stops. The Timbrens look a little taller. I have a message into Eric currently about both of these. Might do a combination package between the two. Timbren also has a match for the Front Bump stop as well that I like. OCD I know. Haha

 

LOL. I did the same thing. I went with the Wheelers front Super Bumps as well.

I believe that the Timbrens are a little taller the the Super Bumps

 

Good call. German Shepards are known for bad hips. So jumping up and down isn’t the best. Guess I should get a ramp for my old man. :/

 

awesome thanks!!!

 

Yeah. That’s what I was thinking. Asking if Eric can put a combination package together for me because I like that his bracket/Mount is 1/2” thick. The one that comes with the Timbrens is only 3/8” thick. Not a big difference but enough of a difference for me.

 

The golf course takes up more of my time than the lawn.

 

Well, today, I dropped my truck off at the dealer to replace the 3rd brake light due to a water leak. My truck has 40,000 miles on it. The dealer wouldn’t fix it under warranty, so they suggested that I called Toyota corporate and explained my situation. Much to my surprise, Toyota corporate is taking care of the 3rd brake light out of warranty for me. They did say that it is a known issue. The dealer anticipates it taking 7 or 8 hours to replace

 

air bags and key fob compressor system seems to work great

 

Picked up my new battery and tray. Installing tonight or tomorrow. Tray is perfect fit.

I have had one set of these in my 2017 TRD going on 2 years, black. Bought 2 more sets for wife’s Jeep Cherokee and daughters VW Jetta, both in beige.
My experience, clean the front ones, like wash off with hose, and I go one step further I spray lightly with Aerospace 303. I do this about every 2 months unless I got muddy. They look as good as when purchased.

$24 303 Products Aerospace Protectant – UV Protection – Repels Dust, Dirt, & Staining – Smooth Matte Finish – Restores Like-New Appearance – 32 Fl. Oz. (30313CSR)

Main reasons I like;
Easy to clean with just a hose compared to Weather Beaters etc.
I like to drive in my socks or barefooted on long trips, these are slightly cushioned and no ridges...ridges bad for comfort with bare or socked feet.
They are sound deadening, and act as insulation.
Once put down they do not slide what so ever because of the backing. Similar effect as Velcro.
They look good.

 

7 to 8 hours to replace. WTH. That’s absolutely crazy. Didn’t take me that long but whatever. It’s covered by Toyota. That’s nice

 

I can't answer for him but I used fishing line to cut the foam tape behind the badges and then they pop right off, no paint damage at all. The hard part is getting the bulk of the foam tape off (I used my thumb nails, but it took a long time to get it all off and kind of hurt my hands haha) and then I used goo gone and it got the residue off nicely.

 

Ditto for me

 

I put those in my ex's Santa Fe and didn't really like them. They looked terrible when dirty and were a pain to keep clean. I wouldn't buy them again.

 

Here we go. Time to mount them.

 

Bought it 2 weeks ago. 17 TRDOR. Already has Pro grille. Picked up an OEM tonneau cover on CL last week. Plans for future include OME coils, billsteins, 265x75 ko2’s, voodoo bed rack for my Yakima basket, swap nerf bars for sliders, maybe Prinsu, the list goes on!

Coming from a 13 lifted and semi heavily modded Jeep JKU. So far I don’t miss it. Wanted a Taco for a long time!

 

Nice!

 

Congratulations and welcome to the herd!
