What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a Taco Garage DSM mount and Tackform phone holder.

The two little holes are explained in my radio install thread... I figure if the holes are going to have to be there, might as well use them for the lightning cable.

What is that cable management?

 

I just tucked it in to the plastic. It's super easy. The dash cam comes with a little trim tool that helps hide the wires

lol tell me about it!

post up some pics when you get those mounted!

 

Looks like a Tundra

 

Installed the rear King shocks made for a Tundra to get a little more travel from the rear end . Now the truck sits on Kings front and rear . Also installed the remote start from 12 volt solutions. No pic's of that

 

I'm drooling right now.

 

Added some lights to my grille

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to installing it. Been wanting one for a while.

 

If you can, PM me a pic of the two you have. Numbers aren't important. I just liked the color you had. Matches my truck as well.

 

thank you!

 

So not only did they not clean the engine or engine compartment, or attach the hose from radiator to overflow. They left the butterfly clamp too far up on the inner hose behind the dang intake!!!

The only thing I had on hand that would fit the tiny space to fix it was some long nose vise grips...

Then they slipped when removing, and of course fell on top the transmission, then behind the exhaust manifold shielding.

Problem fixed. Pictures taken. Service manager will get an earful in the morning.

 

Of all the reasons to do my own maintenance, this solidifies my decision. Sorry to hear about the shenanigans.

 

I really no way of knowing that, but it's possible.

I'm just glad it didn't fall out of the engine bay. Should have just glued it from the get go.

And to those of you who wanted pics, sorry I never took any. Use your imagination on this one.

 

got around to installing my HID kit from Morimoto (bought 2 years ago) and surprise i had one ballast not lighting and it threw sparks when i was checking it.

 

Painted the bolts on my Ray10’s. Not 100% sure how I feel about it. I’d probably like it more if they were bronze.

I’m okay with the fake beads on the blacks, so may end up getting a black pair. I’m kinda over gunmetal on mgm lol - too much gray.

F5’s on 315’s are calling my name...

 

Will do in the morning

 

No mods or tweaks today, but I did dust the bed with needles and cover my hands in sap. It’s the holiday season!

 

bath time!
