What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

CBI high clearance

 

Thanks man!

 

switched out the valance today...thing was a pain in the ass to remove...


also was the first time i popped the hood since i ran through a dozen mud puddles...yikes...

 

Sorry for the delayed response, went out of town for a week. Here's my garnish, it's definitely at an angle:

 

Thanks. Yeah no problems. Been a week don't even notice it now.

 

had mine off today, so I took a pic for you:

 

Thanks! Looks like the same angle as my knockoff, so cool.

 

What kit did you use? There are a million on Amazon and I'm "third party seller" phobic. It's my next EZ mod.

 

Just drove 4.5 hours. Stopped once for food and gas. First one was mostly interstate. I was running 75-80 mph averaged about 18 mpg


Next one was on a two lane road no traffic. Speed limits were from 35-65mph. Averaged about 20mpg


Just thought this was I interesting.

 

Primed my custom made slider-looking steps for install. These are cosmetic for the most part, but I feel sorry for the person that opens their door on them.

 

Replaced my stock flaps with Rokblokz.

 

Picking things up from here sooooo......
What are the screws in your tailgate for Bud??

 

I’ve noticed similar results. Seems that the best mileage is when you keep RPMs below 1500, which ironically seems to be about 65 on the highway. If you soft peddle it around town at <1500 I seem to see much better mileage. Around 21 on average. You’re probably at 2000-2500 at 75. I’m sure this is by design by Toyota. Just my experience/ observations.

 

I'm guessing mounting for a Solenoid

 

No problem! It also makes horn relocation easy, I busted one of mine so ordered similar replacements from Amazon. I used Rigid R-Series-46 lights, I think they are considered a 6" round, but you could easily run 7" or maybe 8", a pair of 6" bars, or any combination. The KC's are sweet!

 

I washed, detailed, and waxed it yesterday. I used the MeGuire’s Hybrid Ceramic spray. Put on 3 coats. I wanted to have a little extra for the winter. You can still put wax on top of this stuff. Took the wife to go get ice cream last night after dinner. This morning I noticed I now have dent in the tailgate of my truck. WTF. I guess my fat ass should not have gone for ice cream. Damn.

 

Stop and go traffic around the house...I’m lucky to get 16 mpg. Of course I have a heavy foot but hell I drove a 1987 corolla for 25 years that couldn’t get out of its own way. And I ALWAYS have to be the quickest when the red light turns to green!

 

That’s why I had mine wrapped. Easier for me to pay the guy $80. I probably could have done it myself but I’m too lazy. But I have a Sso Slimline bumper coming so it’s a moot point now.

 

Well that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Typical. Weasly people just run away....

 

Sorry to hear about your tailgate mod. Hope it sounds worse than it is. Should be an easy albeit costly fix. On the bright side if you have to have a dent I can't think of a better place to get one. Minus bumper damage it seems as though it may have been a shopping cart that was the culprit.
