What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Replaced my stock front grille with this one I picked up off craigslist. Came off a 2020 , and I like the look. will be posting up my old grill in BST later today

 

Pretty much did the same thing. Had to pull mine 570 miles, 11 hours and I didn't even know it was back there. The ECT control is killer.

 

FYI...These (suma) maintain the BSM but they are currently out of stock. I may buy still them one day.

Got the Victory 4x4 LCA skids on. It's a small mod, but they required some "massaging" to work with the Marlin Crawler LCA mount gussets. Now the only armor she lacks is a gas tank skid.

 

Just installed BumperShelz much better than OEM paint on bumpers. Was simple, no tool install.

Glad I didn't need those ones to do this mod. I paid nearly 1/2 of that cost.

 

I may try to tone it down a bit. Another poster suggested smoke, I think I’ll try that to dull it a bit. Cheers, it was fun to do

 

Looks great! You have BSM and back up sensor, correct? Does everything still work as it should with these?

 

I do not. I have TSS and it works fine.

 

Bahaha that wasn’t for me sorry

 

Coolant drain and fill with Canadian 45/55 OEM Yota Juice and Oil and Filter. Finding the block drain was straight forward after a quick search on here. 10mm socket and some extensions plus tubing and she drained real nice.

And I actually let my oil get to 16 0000 km before changing it for first time ever in 4 years lol. My guilt is strong this morning.

 

What size Optima battery is that ? Group 35 ?

 

So last November on the night of my birthday I broke through some ice with the Taco and smashed/scraped her up pretty good:



Anyway, after a long fight with the insurance company (they ended up only paying to fix the front, I had to pay for the side) I got her fixed and got it back last Friday:



Body shop couldn't get the standard grill so I went with the pro which I was going to buy and install at some point anyway. I'm just glad she looks good again

I think its the road salt. We had super rusty cars in western Pennsylvania when i was growing up. The only rust you see on the left coast is either people right on the water or guys taking their trucks out on the beach, but most places have banned that now...

 

Got a tracking update on my delivered fog lights... its back on the truck being delivered... come on fed-ex, just deliver them when you said you did last week.

 

Took the GF camping. Finally got to test my whole tent and awning system. Oh and in other news I gave Adventure Girl a gift I made her and she didn't come back as my GF

 

Yes, it's the one they recommend for the 3rd gen on their website.

 

Congratulations!!!

 

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if CBI tray would work but it obviously does.

 

No, just a bad burn.
