What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It’s not the years but the miles on the chassis. Not to forget About being rode hard and put up wet. I was 30 when we had our first kid. My wife would hand me the baby when she went shower. I was not allowed to get up b/c my joints creaked and cracked so much that I would wake up the baby. Too much sports and hard labor can ruin your joints.

 

Yes they do. If you look closely it’s a flap of material tucked into the side.

 

Look for "side air bag compatible" on the seat cover package.

Amen brotha! I just started life way too soon. Before I had a driver’s license, I was working in fiberglass for a boatyard down the river and took a boat to work every day. My mom was scared to death if flying which probably helped motivate this rebellious teen. I had a commercial pilots license and flew fixed wing and helicopters before I graduated high school. I worked as a flight instructor through college and began my career before starting my senior year. The smoking, drinking, swearing, sex and rock-n-roll all took their toll while the ex-wives took my money. I will say that Anne has no idea what a hard knock life is.

Edit: Not to say it’s anyone’s fault but my own.

 

Late last night I spent a couple hours starting a build thread for Gandalf. Nothing that special, but I want a place to keep track of everything I have done.

Today I installed did the rear dff breather relocation.



Then I started my war on dust intrusion in the canopy.




More details and pictures in my thread.

 

I bought a 6x soft touch switch controller for a fraction of the price. Also added a 4x wireless relay system in parallel.

 

Think it looks good!

 

I got my Gasshole in and slapped 'er in. I got a locking gas cap a few weeks ago, and it doesn't have the little retaining strap. I didn't see a way I could use the one from the OEM gas cap. Oh well, I can just shove it in my gasshole.

 

Do you have the link for the soft touch switch controller?

 

This in the Amazon.ca site but I'm sure you can find the same on .com

I do, yes.

 

Thanks for the links

 

Guess we are going to see how much the tocoma can pull this week... Lightning hit my mother in laws tree. The small half hit the house (insurance will take care of that half) but the big half is laying out over the yard... the trunk of the tree in the yard is about 4 feet across. If insurance wont take care of that half I will be hitting up harbor freight to grab a badlands winch and a hitch cradle so we can drag the bigger parts up into the driveway and trailer them away.

 

Got the Cali Raised LED Molle Bed Rack installed. Pretty bummed that the 2020 only Has 2 mounting points (t-slot rail mounts) unless you drill into the bed. None the less, I used it to mount the Rotopax inside the bed. Seems to work decent. Anyone else done something similar?

 

Sounds like a party. I'm there. Been looking forward to the day I see Bob on his unicycle.

 

it's a Frankenstein kit, natural Rogers snare and floor tom, sparkle green Gretsch bass drum, and stripped natural marching snare for the rack tom. no longer have the kit, but I'll see if I can find some pictures.

also 4-piece kit. couldn't imagine playing on 11! what a monster!

 

Yeah, don't see why you couldn't set this up to turn about anything on/off. There are 4 - 20A and 4 - 35A switches so you have a lot of leeway. If whatever you wanted to control needed more than 35A you could wire this to an external relay and control it easily. The phone app adds some configuration for triggering also. This is one of those 'buy once, cry once' items.

 

I installed a 3” Rough Country lift on Axl today. Took about 4hrs more or less. Had the same lift on my JK Jeep. Ride seems a lil softer than stock off road suspension but it’s only been a few hours.

Tires are coming next. Not sure if I should go with 285/75/16 or 265/75/16. Decisions

 

Lift looks great! You should go with the 285 tires. I just went up to 265/75/16 and they look too small on stock suspension. I don’t really notice the difference from 265/70/16.
