What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oops Oh well two plugs for @mesojdm !!

 

There are companies that make a bracket that allows you to mount switches where the cobby hole is on the left side of the steering wheel.

 

Maybe I'm old school but raised white letters out look damn good

 

Those are wheels like I am waiting on. Freaking non-union FedEx workers.

 

Pre-Collision System Malfunctioned the other day. Rained pretty heavy the day before although not sure that had anything to do with this. The error message went away for a few minutes while driving, then returned and didn't go away.

At fist dealer wanted to charge me a diagnostic fee - said it was due to the wiring I had added to my vehicle. I have a front camera/anytime rear camera mod on my truck. Have had the mod for quite some time. Had to talk to a manager and let them know I wasn't paying a diagnostic fee. He asked me about the camera wiring. tried to tell me that the radio was part of the Can Bus system and that may be affecting the Pre-Collision System. Luckily he was able to hear me out and went ahead with the diagnostic/repair under warranty. Turned out the Radar Unit behind the Toyota emblem in the grill had failed - he said the tech found it was not communicating with the rest of the system.

They ordered a replacement Radar Unit under warranty and I returned a few days later to have them install it.

A few days later they installed the new unit and were about to return the truck to me. Apparently they hadn't calibrated the new Radar and the malfunction message had returned after they had installed the new radar unit. They completed the calibration procedure and the new Radar unit began working without any further issues.

The tech told me that this was the second truck he had seen that day for the same issue. Crossing my fingers this does not become a problem again in the future.

Nice truck @Quimby

 

Rugged Liner's Rugged Cover II.

My review? Meh. Some water, but not much, gets in but it's not sitting flush. I've replaced the rubber "gasket" but it's still uneven like in the picture below.

I would not recommend the Rugged Cover II.

 

Took her out to the mountains and found some snow and great trails! Great weekend camping trip with the pup.

 

Awesome thank you, and the other couple guys that posted after this.

 

Solid few days. Installed the CBI T3 front bumper, winch, light bar and Morimoto HIDs and amber fogs. Had to call in some locale TW support for this. I think I can call it good for a while... *whew*

 

Damn. This is exactly the reason I’m hesitant to install the anytime front/rear camera. Stealership not wanting to do warranty work... lame

 

I hear ya. At the end of the day, the mod has nothing to do with the pre-collision system, which they admitted in the end. I understand their concern, people can and do mess stuff up sometimes - like they guy who drilled into a wiring harness when adding the drain tubes to his bed cover.

 

Did an install of the Icon stage 4 lift today. Ended up with 2 inches lift in the front, 1.5 inches in the rear. Cranked the coilovers 3 turns higher than comes from icon on both sides. I was surprised I never ended up with the "taco lean". The measurements on the front were both dead nuts even.

 

Mind if I ask when you ordered your T3 bumper, and from who?

 

Mule Expedition had a this one (steel) left over from their open house a while back. I think they sold all the aluminum T3s they had on hand.

 

Seeing your truck makes me want the pro grill!!! Like the white out sexy !

 

I agree, wish more manufacturers made them.

 

I wish they still made the TA Radial street tires with white letters. Had those on many vehicles. I would have those on a spare set of wheels for road trips. The AT's are great but are rough riding after a few hours on the interstate. Not to mention the slight mpg hit.

 

KO2's A/T is my choice of tire

 

Speaking of tires. I’m about to pull the trigger on a set. I currently have stock 245/75/16 on my SR5 with no mods to the suspension. Would I be able to upgrade to 255/75/16 without rubbing or scrubbing? Mainly doing it for looks, minimal off roading.
Thanks
