What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hood struts installed. Was this planning ahead or just plain luck that the strut cleared my project box which was installed a year ago.

 

Ouch man, if I was you I would look at your local junk yard.

 

Yeeeesssssss!!!!!!!

I think you mean "intracoastal" waterway. Sorry but couldn't resist. I mean, somebody had to say it, right?.....

Edit. I spent most of my life in Charleston so I'm very familiar with the intracoastal waterway. Spent tons of time there fishing, shrimping and enjoying water sports.

 

getting her ready for another adventure... meso turns, bed lights, mounted a first aid kit, and made a special spot for my tools =)

 

Swapped out the front bumper/valence after staring at a nasty crack & Gorilla tape band-aid for the last 6 months. Bonus - license plate delete since Ohio no longer requires front plates starting July 1.

 

You guys are cold!
Funny but cold.

 

My first Toyota was a 79 4x4 well well used. Fast forward 33 years I by my first new vehicle 2020 TRD OR......79 screw jack and no hood struts (20lb Hood), 2020 47K+ showroom new truck and no hood struts (200 lb hood) and I'm certain a screw jack made in the same factory that my 79 was made in

 

Why would anyone do this? Just Ridiculous.

The gen 7 Ipad mount arrived after 40 days. I'll never order another thing directly from RAM Mounts. Never. I have built a entire camper top using 5 different companies, and 3 different delivery vendors. The virus has some folks heads up their ass.

I've built many cars over the years, and this simple thing may be the most impressive of them all. Stupid it may seem, but having sat gps on demand in the middle of a national forest for almost nothing, trumps the 600hp fuel injection run by bluetooth, which will go into the mustang soon. Lol. Stupid but true.

 

just an observation- you said true professional painter in the beginning and finish it up with a picture of a rattle can. Not saying it isn’t a good job, I just expected a spray gun.

 

No modification necessary in terms of drilling. There is a difference between passenger and driver's side in that the passenger's side does have that hook bolted underneath. You will need to remove that to get the bracket to fit, but that is as simple as removing two more bolts. I took an image for another member that messaged me, i hope this helps. This was a really easy install, and coming from someone who is not really mechanically learning, this only took like 10 minutes to install. Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks, I currently have the rav4. I’m Used to having a trailer so I’d like to see the rear tire/lane markers so I may have to give these a try since the ravs blind spot is up top which doesn’t catch the rear tire and line
