What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sounds like an awesome trip with the kid! But I hear ya on the hill struggle! Like you said it sometimes feels like abuse on the truck trying to stay at the speed limit on some hills. Glad to hear you beat the storm and made it home safely!

 

Trips with kids can be fun. Just finished my 8 hour drive from NC. It was the maiden voyage in the TRD Pro vs the usual ES350.

Totally different beasts but I love Tacos and I enjoyed the trip. The kids, a little less LOL

The low drone from the TRD exhaust got on her nerves a tad. Cest la vie.

 

Love my Taco too! I’ve adapted to the power limits and wouldn’t trade it for anything else! Lot of time and mods invested, and worth every penny and busted knuckle!

 

Just installed an Undercover Ridgelander today. Very impressed with it

Drove it like I stole it.

 

finished wiring up my 40" @Baja Designs S8 light bar to go with my Squadron Pro Ditch lights, and Squadron Sport fogs.

 

Dude that looks good! Is that paint? Powder coat? It doesn’t look plastidipped.

 

Looks great. It looks like you ran the wiring down the windshield for the light bar. What wiring harness did you use and how did you get it to look so clean? I have a roof rack ordered and would like to do the same thing. I can't quite tell what you used where the wiring goes from the rack to start down the top of the windshield but it appears it changes shape and thins out for a nice tight fit down the windshield. Any info or tips would be appreciated. Thanks

 

I saw it. Couldn't find it again. But now I know where to look. I'll post a pic when I figure out what I'm doing.

 

I made my own harness, i have a switch pros, so on one end i have the weatherpack with 2 x 12awg red wires and 1 x 12awg black wire into the connector to attach to the BD. The other end are just ring terminals attached to the switch pros. I managed to stuff 3 x 12awg wires down that crack between the trim and the pillar. I used a plastic trim removal tool and just keep stuffing them in there. On the prinsu i wrapped the wires in loom and zip tied them under the prinsu crossbar. I was at home depot looking for some wire wrap and saw they sell SKINNY 12awg, i dont know if that has any negative effects but that would have made it much easier to stuff down the gap. let me know if you have any other questions.

Screenshot. Thanks! Time to spend more money!

 

The brackets you made - they are attached only at the rail above and don't attach to the truck bed or anything at the bottom, correct? Any concerns about the bracket vibrating side to side and torquing the rail?

Thanks.

 

Replaced the front differential fluid, installed the air line on the front locker, thus completing the ARB locker install. Tested it out

BTW, the front diff temp sensor needed to be removed in order to fit the banjo bolt, so plan on a diff flush if yer going to do it. Fluid will puke out the temp sensor hole otherwise. That, and the plug for the air line that was machined into the housing by ECGS was only finger tight. My diff shop didn't crank it down. It's an air line port, so only dirt/water could have entered the ARB locker air line assembly had the plug worked it's way out...

 

If you got the letter they shouldn’t have questioned you.

 

LSU, Clemson and Auburn!

 

What’s up James Were did you get that tailgate thingy?

 

OK, I don't have a clue about driving in the snow. It snows in my area once every 10 yrs and its just a sloppy mess. Did y'all get this for extra weight for traction or to put in front of the tires in case you get stuck?

 

That's a nice and cheap little mod.
