What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tidied up my amp wiring, stoked on how it came out!

 

It DOES look very neat and professional.

I like seeing the results of someone who obviouly takes pride in his work !

 

Installed the Blackout letters on the back last night, and you can see the effect of the bed lights I put on Monday. Extra light is amazing Just waiting on my interior led kit and blackout emblem kit to arrive today or tomorrow

 

I got some cheap LEDs for under hood lighting installed last night before I had to head to work this morning. I still need to finish up the wiring. I have magnetic switches that I was planning on using, but I’m now considering hooking them up to the factory switch in the hood latch. I’ll have to find a wiring schematic while I’m at work this week.







Once it was fully dark out, I snapped a picture of how it lights up the engine bay. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

Separated wheels and tires at the self service auto craft shop on post. Now my son has options for his 1st Gen Tundra.

I see your using velcro tape to hold you amp in place. Anything else?

 

I already had the puddle lights installed. Those took about 3 and a half to four hours. Took my time and walked my son through it too.

Doing the switches only took about an hour. Most of that was pulling apart a few panels to run the wires.

 

Most of us have used a pin switch on the ground wire. Obviously do what works for you but just another way to do it.

Always keep a glove with it.

 

THE GASSHOLE!!! That's on my next month's mod list.

 

It's to dark out to get a more detailed look at the wheels maybe when the Sun is out get a better shot!

 

Not sure if its funny or sad how much it bugged me not having something to clip the gas cap to. A lot of the time, Its the little things that make the biggest difference to me.

 

Just wanted to ask as to not get my hopes up. Is what i think i saw somehwere correct in that it is not unusual for TacoGarage to take as long as a week to ship a Grille?

 

Meso makes some excellent stuff, but I haven't seen the need for this one. The cap sits just fine on the door latch when you lay the capture strap over it.

 

"I can't keep track of my own shit, therefore others must suffer with me."

Still funny tho.

 

That was the first thing I tried. The strap on mine didn't reach the latch and when I moved it to the outer hole I couldn't open the gas door all the way with the cap on. LOL, first world problems

 

Really teach him a lesson and swipe the 10mm wrenches too!

 

Thats some funny shit. I'm in my 40s and my old man still gives me grief about stuff I may or may not have misplaced in my early teens.
