What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I removed the TOYOTA letters and TRD emblem from my faux Pro grille, sprayed them with 5 coats of base 1H5, 4 coats of clear, then reinstalled them on the grille. Pics on the truck sometime tomorrow.



EFIT: Oh, I also painted the base of the first T and A flat black as the faux pro grille had the bases of those two letters molded in the same gunmetal as the letters themselves.

 

Finally got around to installing my sound deadening in all 4 doors. Still have to do the rear behind the back seats and floors but still happy with how it's turning out thus far.

 

is this hard to do? did you have instructions on how to take everything apart?

 

There are several videos on YouTube. Time consuming but fairly easy. Get clips from eBay or Amazon before you do it. You’re probably going to break a couple I used the RAMM audio system. Doors and rear. Very happy. Definitely worth it.

 

Thx! Darn! I’ll take you up on that! I’ll be working Monday-Thursday out of town though. Keep me posted if you’re still up for it. I really appreciate it.
I got the bolt on.

 

It was fairly easy to do, just need a little patience and make sure you have gloves! Learned the hard way after the front door panel that gloves are a necessity lol. But really, an exacto knife, scissors, screwdriver,10 mm socket is all you really need.

As for taking apart the panels, oem audio had a pretty detailed video on how to take off the door panels. Super simple really.

 

Watch this video. It will help a lot.

285/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grappler on stock rims with 1.25 spacers

 

Rigged a RTT lift in the garage

 

Just a flat surface to prep on or put your beer on without having that stupid plastic uneven stock surface, useful if you tailgate a lot which i do

 

tutorial on this? or custom on your own. Awesome idea i wanna do when i move

 

Congrats man, I applaud you. I can’t wait til I leave...one day...

 

I can't wait to get back into CA. The grass isn't always greener.

 

it isn’t always greener, but at least not infested with human shit!

 

I hauled 7 70# boxes to FedEx late afternoon yesterday. The truck actually did not look saggy in the butt. The HD boxes with bike transmissions fit perfectly. That was a ton of work. Made a huge sale, so mo money for mods!!

Threw my chikin wire (chicken war) grill in the waste bin for pick-up today. hahahahaa come get it!!

Have some 5 HP decals and my custome battery hold'em to install today.

And I am heading to Mule Expedition Outfitters this AM (Anything you want me to ask?)

 

Where di you get the bracket to mount the lights?

 

After searching the internet for a solution to RTT storage and seeing people spent hundreds on powered winches, manual winches, Racor system I just couldn’t get myself to spend the money. My solution was $16 for the four pack of heavy duty straps rated at 766 lbs each and four eye bolts for $3. So less than $20 bucks. Lol.

It’s really quite simple. I purchased four eye bolts and a set of straps. Found the beams in the ceiling and made sure I was centered on each beam before drilling pilot holes. Screwed in the eye bolts. Connected the straps and used the small winch on each strap to lift it up. It was very easy. After I got it up using two straps I put two more straps in a cross pattern to keep it secure from sliding out of place.

The fun part will be lowering it back onto the bed rack. Lol. I might put a floor jack in the truck bed with a wood beam up to the RTT to let it lower slowly. Haven’t got that far yet. Lol. If you have any ideas on how to lower it slowly let me know.
