What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Went to the other Grandparents for Christmas Dinner

 

• Redline tuning hood strut quicklifts
• 3rd bed rail
• Annnnd plugged some old holes I had drilled in the bed

Now it's off to the wash

 

Grabbed an aluminum tcase skid from Victory4x4 this week. Have to get sliders bolted up before installing but the quality is on point.
Only have the nice rain/snow uninstalled pic when I got home. Also has a removable section and fill plate for an exhaust reroute so that would be a future easy decision.

 

Finally installed some steps.

 

First off, Thank you for the picture with the arrows and the comments! You were absolutely correct; it took longer to drive around calibrating the compass than it did for the install. My only concern (slight) was how the power cord cover fit. Easy Peasy.

After installing the mirror, I applied the black vinyl rim decals. Took a lot of patience, and once I figured out how to do it, it went pretty quickly, if three hours is quickly. I found the trick (at least for me) was to fit the top of the middle section first and then stretch the material to fit the rest of the area. Not a lot of stretching, just a mild tweak.

My only recommendation would be to cut the vinyl just a tad larger on the outside edge to make them a bit more forgiving. That's it though; totally satisfied and highly recommend them.

Only thing left for this round is de-badging. Maybe tomorrow, but we'll see.

 

This may be a dumb question but where did you get the 3rd rail very interested Thanks

 

Was warm out so I finally put on my bed decal and flag decal compliments of @CBoy808!

 

Installed the tweeter upgrade. its ok, i didnt feel it was major sound difference.

 

Thanks Rob, this trail is now on my to do list.

 

Trdparts4u was the cheapest I could find. You don't need new screws or anything, your bed already has them there to retain the front bed top cap

 

Not @splashflash but I got mine straight from Toyota. Check the part number in the quoted post below.

EDIT: Looks like @splashflash got a better price.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks

 

I’m ready for all my wiring! Just waiting on my electrical guru friend to be free for assistance..

Caliraised light bar
Baja Designs s2’s ditch lights
Anytime Front/Rear Camera
Navigation override
A few other small upgrades I’ll run through this setup

The best part..room for more mods!! @Powertrays

 

So I'm planning on installing a 30in hidden lightbar and want to add the oem switch. On the left side of wheel all the slots are taken, on middle it only has 4, which are taken. How hard is it to install aftermarket part with more slots?

 

Finnally got rid of those stock tires. Went with 265 70 17 Nitto Terra Grappled G2.

 

Mounted some Method 701’s and 285/75/16 KO2’s.

 

What Tonneau cover do you have? Do you like it?

 

@mesojdm makes quite a few panels.

Not hard to change them and might be able to find panel removal in here?

Super easy.. if you have blank spots.. they pop right out. The big switches and smaller ones too.
If you need room for more spots check out @mesojdm products on the marketplace. Any option you want there!
