What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

there is only one truck in that picture

 

Yes, there seems to be a rash of mutilated Pilots on the road.....

 

I've been known to wear a particle mask and have a spray bottle of denatured alcohol handy when those around me are sick at work. They touch, I spray. Over the top? Maybe, but when I get the flu I swear I'm going to die. I can get cut, break a bone or sustain some other injury and its no big deal but the flu? I don't do the flu well at all. Conversely the wife gets the flu and she just motors on. Me? Sue, Suuue, SUUUE!

 

Even though socialists seem to think its free. Then get jobs like working as a barista for $10/hour so they can live at home because they are too young not to enjoy life. Never mind how their living expenses are paid for. It’s like the tiny house craze that moves onto someone else’s property and hooks up to their water so they can enjoy no house payments.

Ok- no more politics from me. Just wanted to concur.

 

5160's out back, didn't have time for the fronts.

 

haha. Well said. My wife has a pilot. It’s definitely not the precursor to a truck

 

NOW I remember what that thing reminds me of...



Anyone else remember the Subaru Brat? The one pictured above is an '83.

 

How about the similar Rampage.

 

Yeah, I remember them. I thought they were kinda cool, but not cool enough to actually buy one.

 

How do you like the lite bar? Thinking of getting the Rough Country Light Bar and Ditch Lights. Just wanted some feedback on the quality.

 

Yep that's what they wanted to do and I said nope.

 

I have a question for all of you wiring gurus. I'm installing a hidden light bar and I don't have an auxiliary fuse box yet. Was going to hook directly to the battery but my switch will stay illuminated all the time. I was hoping to avoid that. Any suggestions or as long as its hook straight to the battery it will continue to be on?

 

Added some TRD off road rims and
master-craft tires I picked up last weekend. Changed my oil. And today even added the early Christmas gift from my fiancé, a gator tonneau cover this afternoon!

 

Installed lift last night 6 hours .
This morning alignment and wheels mounted .

 

I peeled the dumb stickers off my windows

 

Use a relay and an inline fuse, relay and switch wired to an acc power source. Inline will protect the light. Relay will protect the switch, acc power will prevent constant power.

*note- the relay protects your switch.

Don’t make short cuts when it comes to wiring on vehicles or your house. It’s one of those things where saving a few $ or couple minutes can have a disastrous result. Better to take your time, plan it out and do it right. You don’t need the aux fuse box, but you do need an inline fuse and relay (if switched). There are times when the relay can be avoided but it’s specific and dependent on amp and wattage of items involved, so without a clear understanding of vehicle wiring, it’s better to just use one then not.

 

Same. I like them a lot.

 

I have a wiring harness with relay and inline fuse. I have a new 4 wire switch installed. I have black to black, red to blue and green to white with extra red that I was going to tap to lights so it would be on with lights on. But hooked to battery the switch in lit up without attaching to the fuse for the lights. I would like for it to only be lit when the lights are on. It's all I have left to do.

 

Use a wire tap to the fuse box on the drivers side. The cig lighter outlet is a good one to tap for that.

 

Not to be dumb but which one should I tap to the cigarette lighter?
