What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally a productive truck day... Total Chaos stiffeners installed and the Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 mounted.

 

Working on getting my truck bed organized. I built a plywood shelf to help haul plywood and a "drawer" for recovery gear and tools.



The drawer is pretty simple:


I need to fit all the needed items for back country camping for a family of 4! The food box fits perfectly. I am working on another drawer for the driver's side.



Hauled some plywood with it today, and it worked well.

 

Turn off your headlights when in reverse gear. The plate lights go off and won't blind the camera.

 

Today I took off my Diamondback, pulled up my bed rails, laid down some duct tape, and the applied butyl caulk to the bottom of the rails, the reinstalled. Hopefully this will mitigate the water getting in.

I had my tail lights out and when tightening the passenger side broke the plastic on the housing from tightening too much. Anyone know how I can go about purchasing just the housing? Part #?

You will have to purchase the entire light since the lense is welded on. It looks like a clean snap and everything should line up if put in place. I would superglue it on then add jb-weld the outside. The superglue will just be added support and wont hold on it's own. Worth a shot unless you know someone with a plastic welder?

 

One day that won’t be a big deal. You’ll be wishing to find a tootsie roll. Time flys.

 

Yup, it’s kind of a family joke. My wife’s Rav looks like a dumpster after a bender frat party left out in the hot sun for days, my vehicles do not. The weathertechs were the real story.

 

A couple of cosmetic mods on a beautiful day here:

Mmmm, fresh mexican tacos

 

Hard to judge as We are looking at a picture of a camera screen that you are viewing on your own screen - I also have streetlights on my street- but the solution is to turn off headlights if needing to delete that little bit of washout ( maybe when hooking up a trailer) but for me it’s generally just reverse to get in or out of a parking spot

 

I installed my BAMF DCLB sliders, Wheeler’s U-bolt flip kit with Superbumps, Wheeler’s front superbumps, and washed it. I primed and painted the Wheeler U-bolt plates flat black because I like things to look subtle. Earned a beer or 2. Not bad for a Sunday.

 

Dang! Well the piece that broke split into about 4 pieces, so I’m screwed there. I just drilled two holes through what’s left, then ran a zip tie through with the metal clip attached to it. I was able to reinstall it, but it wiggles a little under force. It’ll have to get me by for a few weeks.

 

If it is ABS plastic, you can get some acetone and use it as glue. It will bond the pieces together. You can also take old ABS plastic pieces and melt them down into a slurry with the acetone and paint it on to reinforce and make waterproof.

 

Looks a good match. The only thing off is the center “black” looks more flat while it’s a glossy finish on the stock ac knobs. Is that a possibility to have it like black glass

Can the 2 pieces snap off after assembly? How much

 

What taillights are those?

 

Where can you take my money?

 

Drove my Taco to Baja for some tacos.

 

Drove mine through some mountains.
