What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Today I completed the MavCoat rust prevention. It goes on thin and clear and then dries to a matte finish. It's still a bit tacky, sort of a waxy film. I used 3 & 1/2 cans. I got most everything, and tried to go over welds and key rust spots a couple times. It was in the upper 30's today, so if we get a few warmer days that may help cure the finish. Winter in the midwest...

 

Second project today was installation of the TRD PRO skid plate. LOVE IT!

 

I have an Icon Stage 4 suspension, so already had the AAL installed in the back. The new RXT leafs probably lifted the back about 1.5 inches, I'd guess? (no specific dimensions) The truck definitely looks better with a little rake, and I'm confident will perform WAY better when loaded down.

 

Went with the Gen 2 running boards, I liked the results

 

Didn't do much with my 3rdGen today......other than run late for work last night and I pushed it......bigtime.

Fueled her up this morning on the way home.












Got nap and then used her as a grilling table to do some high temp burn-off cleaning of my cookers that I'll use for Thanksgiving eats.

 

Deep fried turkey?

 

How bright are the yellows from your vantage point of the drivers seat? I've heard where some have complained that they are dim at only 3000k.

 

Dont remember the exact link but you can just search TRD center cap decals on ebay. There are a few size choices and you can get which you prefer.

 

She got her windows tinted and I added a start up image. Nothing too crazy but I only bought her a few weeks ago, just give me some time

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Wanted to chime in on the BD fogs lights. I love mine. I did angle them downward and they give me 20 plus feet of light just overlapping my led low beams. I do not use them often like I did the stock fogs. I am a caring driver and if I meet oncoming traffic I switch them off until I pass them. There have been several mornings where they were very useful in town. Out on rural roads they are great. I know from past experiences that our law just requires a switch to control them separate from headlights. They cannot simply run in series. I think the stock fogs were ok and I was comfortable night driving with only the led drl and stock fogs. Now with good led headlights I only use fogs when I need fogs. I ran the stock fogs a lot. Too much. If my BD fogs are shining then they are needed and that's the only time I use them. I am happy to have every forward light as led. With the stock halogen headlights I needed the extra coverage of stock fogs. I have all lighting needs covered now and no regrets at all.

 

Rigid

 

Is the top of your front bulkhead flush with the tops of your bedrail on each side? Mine the passenger side sits a little higher than the bedrail. I'm wanting to put a softfold tonneau cover on my bed but I don't think it will look right and I don't think it will seal very good on that corner.

 

I had the day off so I threw together a platform for the pup. Covered it in a weathertec mat from the wifes old crv. Pretty happy with the results and so is he it would seem.

 

He's definitely looking happy

 

Welcome! Just follow this thread and keep the credit card handy! Nice start up image! I need to get my son to do that for me!

 

I washed it. Both sides. OK?
Not sure if this was a good idea, every time I wash it I discover new scratches from rocks .

 

Are those tires 255's?
