What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I installed the pipe wrap on all 3x cross members. It has self adhesive tape on it so it stays in place very well.

 

I just bought the VLED V6 Triton switchbacks for my 2019 OR. Looks to be a nice addition.

 

oh man, too soon, too soon

 

Where did you get the rings?

 

I ordered the exact same setup and installed the speakers today. Thanks to Roadkill1081 I learned about and ordered the rear speaker adapter off eBay. It was delivered in 3 days. Unlike Roadkill1081, I am installed the rear Kicker's upside down (as per the label on the cone) so that I won't have to splice the adapter as it is not long enough when the terminals are facing down. I also ordered (and have installed) the Subaru (Kicker) tweeters in the dash. Was not as easy as some led me to believe. I had a little trouble with the disconnect and reinstalling the post covers was also a little frustrating (you have to make sure it lips under the rubber molding). Be sure to remove the negative cable on the battery before you install the tweeters! The first salesperson I talked to at Crutchfield advised me to go with the Kicker 6.75"

$90 46CSC674 CS-Series CSC67 6.75" (165mm) Coaxial Speakers, 4-Ohm (Pair)

46CSC674 in both front and rear doors. After receiving them I just wasn't comfortable with the setup. A "SUPER" nice lady named Mandy advised me to return them (no return fee) and go with the set up that SmileyGuy ordered. She said they are more efficient than the 674's and the 6 x 9 was a better choice in the front doors. One minor FU...the small clips behind the little triangle trim pieces on top of the front door panels fell down inside the door as I tried to reinstall them. Will get some more from a body shop or dealer tomorrow. Tip: pull them out of the door and reinstall them on the trim plates before putting them back on. If you don't, the chance of pushing them in the door panel is very high and they go into "clip heaven" and don't fall into the bottom of the door.
BTW--system sounds great (I have the 8" display model radio).

 

Weight behind the axle can lift the front of the truck. But the amount of weight also has to be factored in. 200 lbs shouldn't make that much difference. That being said, the best place I have found is directly over the rear axle. I ran it that way with 300 lbs in my F150, and my Taco set up that way as well with about 200 lbs. I moved it forward because I thought I lost too much room near the tailgate for bulk items.

 

All bolted up and ready to go. Skids and slimline/winch bumper go on today.

 

42 - 25? I bet y'all are happy this morning.

 

Those Harrops are great, I have one on my 1st gen. I'd be curious to hear some feed back on the 5:29s and 33s after you've logged a few miles. Are you MT or auto?

 

Forgive me if someone else responded already- haven’t read through all posts. I’m pretty sure the weather tech and/or husky mats come with a stab-in style anchor for both sides. Maybe that part can be retrofitted?

 

Pics! Lol

 

I’m dropping my taco off to get a 2inch rough country leveling kit, xd grenade bronze wheels 0 offset put on ridge grapplers 265 70 17 today. Can’t wait.

 

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

1980 Graduate!!!

 

I thought about this while driving to work this morning in my 3rd Gen, congrats to all the LSU fans here - good to see another team take the title. I wish I lived in an area that was more excited about college football. College games definitely take a 2nd seat to the Pro teams around here. Bill in MA

 

Yes, they are normally a white DRL that would work in tandem with the stock DRL on my OR. There is a dim function on these which is a simple signal input that brings them from 900 lumens down to 90 lumens. Shouldn't be blinding at night. I just bought the V6 Triton according to the site's recommendation. If you buy them don't forget to use TOYOTA10 for 10% off your order.

Will post them once they are received, installed and verified working lol.

 

Yes, You can buy the tab part for the mats. I believe the company that make it is call Eagle Claws. Hope this help.

 

I know the owners of the tint shop, they are my parents neighbors. They have tinted more vehicles than I can count for friends and family. They always do a great job. I can only think of one person who had an issue with the tint on one window. They immediately made it right with no push back at all. Also, I know the area pretty well because I work right down the street.

 

What did I do to to my 3rd Gen today.....well, after spending half the night celebrating the National Champion LSU Tigers and their dismantling of another team, I got in said 3rd Gen and managed to crawl into work. That's really about it, I need a nap.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

 

Haven't wired it up yet, but here's my 9" light bar attached to some headrest prongs.


It's raised in this pic. Might add a smoke vinyl to make it less visible from outside.


I do not plan on doing this as it's dangerous - but I find the idea funny.

 

No problem! Feel free to PM if needed. I ran the wires down the passenger-side A-pillar (plastic pry tool to remove the screw covers on the grab-handle, remove the screws, and carefully pull free of the retaining clips) and tucked all the extra wire (even the standard kit had plenty of wire) into the space between the passenger side of the dash and fender. Trickiest part was running the wires into the glove box for the battery backup, and behind the center stack to reach the fuse box, but after spending the past 13 years modding a little Scion tC, there's so much more room in this truck. Lol.

Remember to take it slow and careful working around the airbags in the pillars and headliner.
