What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nicely done!

Did he say Rivet Nuts?

 

Those are really sharp - really like the headrest stitching. How do they compare to Wet Okole? Seems like those and Clazzio are the two most popular choices.

 

5.29 Nitro Gears installed. Used group buy!

So far so good. The drive with the break-in rules was tough from LA to San Diego.

Now it shifts like ....my new Accord, or as one would expect. Wow!

More later.

 

Sweet. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

 

In college I had an Enterprise car rental employee T-bone me in a parking lot. I was in the travel lane, doing maybe 8mph. He pulled out of a spot meaning to turn into the flow of traffic, but pulled out right as I crossed his plane, and t-boned me instead. You can only guess what he was doing.
This was in my old Camry and I didn't have a dash cam at the time. Lucky for me, the police that arrived said it was obvious by the impact and my tire marks that he was at fault...

I got a dashcam shortly thereafter.

 

It was probably me, until I lost the damn cotter pin, and I flew into the bush.....and boy, was Mrs. Jenkins pissed off.

Yeah, I've resisted so far, but I've got a dashcam now, just need to install it. I swear people are getting stupider. Just for grins, search for "Russian dash cam video", this is where we're heading.

Naw, there's a difference between being stupid and being willfully stupid. There's a young guy in the neighborhood that drives a ricer with a really loud fart muffler and is always going way too fast for a residential area. A neighbor once yelled at him to slow down, so now the little sociopath makes it a point of being as reckless as possible. Yesterday, he blew through a stop sign outside my house doing around 50mph. I'd like to say, fine, eventually he's going crash and burn, but the tragic truth is that he's probably going to take some innocent person(s) with him. Him I'd like to strangle.

I'm thinking of taking his picture and having a big yard sign made with that photo and the caption "Do you know this a**hole? Tell him to knock it off!"

Meh. Thanks for the rant-and-rave. Back to the Taco mods.

 

Felt good didn't it!?!

 

Yeah, it builds up like intestinal gas and you just gotta' vent.

 

I went with 60ft lbs.

 

This is really slick

 

Never has there been a post more useless without a video.

Now that you have failed, you might as well go make a reaction video where you honk at people and film their reactions so we can all go out and copy your upgrade.

 

You can always add them if you want. Its surprisingly easy.

I replaced the crappy plastic honeycomb grille with a real aluminum one with smaller openings from T-Rex ( https://trexbillet.com/c-1103996-billet-series-grilles.html ) (see my install thread here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-grille-installation-with-eye-candy.675257/ ) Better pics below:



I also installed a radiator honeycomb screen ( https://www.summitracing.com/parts/AAF-ALL30158 ) in front of the radiator for full protection.

 

I also have the Hooke Road roof rack. I haven't installed the LED pod lights yet. What wiring harness did you use and recommend?

 

Oh damn, I like that. Details?

 

It was someone on the site that made them. I will see if I can find it for you.
