What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally caught up with this thread again. Only took two days.

Been seriously considering plasti dipping my mirrors. Scratching the fuck out of them on the trails. These look great, thanks for sharing.

These are the traction boards I plan on getting. Seems to be the best bang for the buck. I watched a bunch of videos on youtube about them. The xbull will work nicely for me. Currently carrying around a bunch of boards of various sizes. Gotten me unstuck once, and helped me save two other random people I found on the side of trails / roads. Gear doesn't have to be fancy to do what you need.

Couple of days ago I went out for day two of scouting sites for my Mt Hood Clean up day. While out there I found the other side of a short fun section of trail. Decided to take a better video. No music this time, and bonus, cute dog.

The Escort iXc and the Thinkware 1000 are powered from a small blue sea block I put in down by the driver fuse block. The wires are run along the top of the headliner and down the left A pillar. The fuse block is powered off a fuse tap from the driver side fuse block.

 

Like the trail, the pinstripes I could do without.

 

I hear that. My most used off road tool is my pruners I get out and cut back anything that looks like it would scratch too much. I figure maybe in ten years when I have finished most things I want to do maybe I will bedline the whole truck and never worry about pinstripes again.

 

thanks

 

Installed my new shift knob, and lowered the boot. White matches the truck, and the red matches the TRD decals. Feels much better than the stock knob!

 

New name... hence fourth.. Cueball! Looks awesome man!

 

Looking good. Where'd you get the knob? It any different in weight than the OEM?

 

Picked my new to me topper up from paint.

 

Thanks! Bought it from Ebay.com. Its a Sickspeed ball from a vendor called Autostars online. Its about half the weight, but hard to tell a difference when shifting. Feels much better in the hand, especially not touching the boot every shift. Its a small thing, I know, but worth the money!

 

Mount is from bracketeer (first link below) and extinguisher (plus direct extinguisher mount) is second link, can be purchased from many places though.

Thank you!

 

Looks great!

 

Nothing to the Taco but I did see this bad ass 1st gen 4Runner tonight

 

I just use a Sidewinder. It mounts with Velcro to the chassis. I have that on my left side and my Two Round Holder on the right. We have them on our site if you want to see them. We can ship things like that to CA, but you need to shoot me an email through the link on our site.

 

Does your Escort false from all of the radar cruise control units out there with new vehicles? Including the one in your truck?

 

Throw some PPF over it when you get it new and call it a day... 3M Paint Protective Film

 

Added a window screen to my Snugtop front window. It is 14.25" x 12". A seller on ebay, krazieashell, has 3 more for sale. Delivered, it was under $15.

Weatherstripping between the window and the screen frame seal the sides. Butyl tape along the bottom ledge holds it in place, but allows it to be easily removable. A couple of clips along the top completes the installation. I'll probably paint it black to match the window frame.

 

Got my windows tinted, 30% on the front, 15% windshield visor and I left the rear windows with the stock tint.
Pretty happy with it, the front tint matches pretty good with the rear.

 

Well Steve is certified crazy but he's not stupid and as far as I know he doesn't own a tranquilizer gun.
