What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where’d you get the lights from?

 

They are genuine Toyota parts.

But I actually got them from a member here selling them new so saved a few bucks.

 

That seems backwards. How often do you use 4wd?

I am only at 8k ish but I am thinking about changing mine for the first time soon.

 

Put the truck to work today hauling dirt.

And my son.

 

Had this wheel and tire package installed this morning. 17" TRD Pro gloss gunmetal and Goodyear All Terrain Adventure 265x70x17

 

Stock suspension?

 

where can I get 4.88 gears installed near central Illinois

 

If you want to put the decals back in the same place, measure their location before you take them off. To remove, heat the decal with a hair dryer (a heat gun would screw up your paint). Pry up a corner and pull the old decal off. To get rid of the glue residue, I used Goo Gone Pro. It took about 4 oz of an 8 oz bottle. Dab it on with a rag, let it do its work for about 15 minutes, rub off and repeat until the residue is gone. I did it over a couple of hours in LA on the hottest day of the year and it cleaned all the residue off, although you could see a little differential fading of the paint where the letters had been. I washed off the Goo Gone at the end using soap and water.

For installation, after I cleaned the area with isopropyl alcohol, I used Post-Its to establish a horizontal top line and a vertical line toward the cab. Then, following the maker's instructions, I used a credit card on the paper backing to smooth out the new lettering, peeled the paper off the transfer tape, and transferred the letters to the truck, lining the edges up against the Post-Its. Then I smoothed out the letter with the credit card starting from the center, peeled off the transfer tape, and removed the Post-Its. The letters are vinyl, and each of those little pieces is individual, unlike the original decal which was printed on clear plastic.

Good luck.

 

Installed a Maner mount to relocate winch control box to a more accessible spot.

Here's the pic I took after cleaning off the glue residue. If you looked close and at an angle, you could see the where the paint had faded differentially, but from more than a few feet away the paint looked fine.

 

Did you put something on after using the goo gone? Like wax or ceramic coat?

 

Yes, for now.

 

Jesse Rizo recently did a YouTube video showing how to do this.

Looks good

 

No, just soap and water and then rubbing alcohol.

 

Installed some 285/75/16 KO2’s and some 1.25” spacers.

 

Helped my cousin install my Bilstein 6112/5160's!

 

No more chrome emblem on the wheel. The first of AJT design items I have to install.

 

Well I'm jealous! I bet you have those damn Meso door handles on your truck too!
