What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Plasti-dipped the grill black. It was the only thing on the car that was chrome. Added Meso dome LEDs from R4T and just got Meso stage 2 tail light in the mail today. Kinda messed up drilling out the reverse light housing, A LOT of the shavings made it inside the housing. But live and learn.

 

That's the exact reason I bought an access cab. Just room enough for me, my spouse and my dog.

 

Nice looking pooch.

 

Looks like Rotella came out with an oil for gassers and have it in 0w-20. Anyone used this yet or have opinions? I know rotella has a good reputation in the diesel world thinking about trying this out next oil change.

 

Got the email confirmation my slider style steps have shipped from Avid! Only a three week lead time since i jumped in before black Friday waiting lines. A well long cross country trip by truck. Should have pictures by next weekend! Can you tell i am stoked? Brandon and the team at Avid have been awesome to deal with while researching and ordering the product.
@2ndGenJonny
I would tag Brandon too but all our conversations were via email and i don't know his TW. Give him a shout out for me 2ndgenjohnny.

 

Do you like Coke, Pepsi, or Sam’s Cola?
I work in the oilfield industry and now-a-days, I don’t think it makes much of a difference. At work we swap engine oil with what ever management decides to get at the time. In a 3 yr period we have gone through 4 different brands and no failures or oils breaking down as per sample analysis.

 

Little teaser action for everyone. Finally getting my truck back after wayyy too long without it. Still have to finish up the front and throw the spacers on in the rear.

King 2.5x12 with adjusters, BAMF hangers, BAMF relocation kit.

@JLee, this shit is BEEFY. Ass end is glued down now with the hangers. Looking forward to taking it offroad soon.

 

Picked up the Predator side steps for a great deal this morning.
Can't wait to install them.

 

Bumper by Lil B’s Custom Fab installed. Came out great!!

 

I got my windows tinted with ceramic tint (UV protection). He coated over the back factory tint and matched the front, darkening everything up a bit. After a month without tint was a good reminder on why I always tint my windows.

 

Yea they give it a great look..... like I said somewhere here on TW....look for the “new and used” link under the “buy now” button on the right....mine were 103 and were brand new. A little patience may be required....

 

I use rotella t6 for my vstrom (it has a wet clutch) great stuff.....
Wonder about this.....

 

Put the winter shoes on. General Grabber Arctics in stock size.

 

Scs stealth 6s ko2 265 75r16 Rekgen mudflaps w/ trd pro suspension

 

Nice truck!!..I got the same exact one.....

 

Can we black out our front toyota symbols?? If so how hard is it to do? I assume we’d use plasticoat.....

.I know there is the collision radar unit behind it.....

 

I am not sure if the SR has it, but typically the TSS sensor is below the toyota symbol on the grille. If you post a picture of your grille I can show you if it has TSS.

I think people have also had no issues with plasticdip over the sensor, but I also do not have that (16s didn't come with it)

 

Thanks, it's pretty bare bones, was inexpensive. I've added the wiper mod, added an N2 Designs remote starter, the flares and upgraded the tweeters. I have a set of Infinity REF's for the doors I have to install yet. I'm slowly piecing together a lift for it. I purchased a set of complete Eibach coilovers for the front. Wanna get some JBA's, rear shocks and an AAl yet.

 

Best $299 I ever spent !



Bluetooth app is cool too !

 

Let's us know how you like those tires. Ride/noise. New wheels on the way and haven't decided what tires I'm getting yet. Going white letters out too on mine. Looks good
