What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks dude! Ya my commute to work will be the VA hospital.

 

Sounds like you have some great options! Best of luck and please don't hesitate to get in touch if there's anything I can do to help.

 

Those badges are awesome!

 

Did you go all the way around the doors, or just along the top? I had some tubing lying around and put it along the top, but didn't see how to run it the rest of the way around unless I glued it on

 

@reymataco looks awesome! What are using to keep your wire loom connected to your crossbars? Nice junction box! Where did you find it?

 

Pinstriped it a bit.

 

Finished up first round of mods.
Hood Swap
CBI ditch light brackets
Baja Designs Squadron Sports in wide cornering.

Now I can see in the dark!

 

Nice wheels!

 

Installed my new setup for my Switchpro

 

I installed the oem roof rack on my 2020 and does have a bit of clearance issue with the shark fin. When i use the cross bars it touches the fin and pushes it down slightly. Since i got my dcu it came with a ladder rack so it’s what i use, i don’t plan on putting a tent up there but I’ve been looking into replacing the rack with something nicer but looks like it’s not a normal setup for dcu caps

 

Good Lord. I hadn't seen a pay phone in who knows how long.

 

@Aau80 reading you reply here about high school reminds me of local bbq place in my hometown of Hernando, Mississippi that recently closed (closed due to the lot it sits on being bought by a bank next door). Anyways, the name of the place was Coleman's BBQ. They were located all throughout north MS and into Memphis, TN. As the years passed, many of them closed down. The one in Hernando and in a town south of here called Senatobia were the only 2 left in existence.

Anyways, the Coleman's in Hernando for YEARS never had a land line, per se. The kept a pay phone by the register (was owned by Bell South). And whenever you wanted to call in an order, it would come in on the pay phone. Very few people actually used, but it was there. The phone number published in the local phone book for Coleman's was the phone number for that exact pay phone.

Eventually, ATT bought Bell South out. And as cell/smart phones took off, they removed the pay phone from inside Coleman's (which forced them to finally pay for a real phone line).

And as a side note: the same Coleman's had a Fred Flintstone "egg prize machine"

I.E.



And you could put a quarter in, Fred would scream out "Yabba Dabba Do!" and a chicken clucking sound would go off, and out came your prize. A lot of people commented on Facebook after they closed wondering what happened the Flinstone machine. Sadly, I guess we'll never know.

 

Nice truck!

Did Toyota change the voodoo blue up a little bit? It looks a bit brighter. But then again, it could be the lighting in @darkmark 's photo.

 

Most people install the rear load bar vertically to assure fin clearance.

 

Installed BD S1 ditch lights and finished my roof rack setup...

 

I blame it on my doctor. He told me to watch my weight, so I got it out where I could see it. He didn't appreciate it.

 

I am looking at those same "before" rims on Craigslist - wondering how'd they look on my SR. You made my decision easier for me. Thanks.

I like the quick fist mounts. Looks like the way I did mine!

 

His look similar to the ones I built.

I had the rack on my ‘11 and it was great. Love that it folds out of the way. When I bought my 2020 I had the dealer add the rack. The next day I figured out that yes it hits the antenna. I’m only carrying surf boards and paddle boards but pushing the racking in place was enough to push the roof metal down. I really didn’t want to buckle the metal of the roof every time I used it. Toyota says they’re not fixing it at the moment.
So I got out my Dremel tool. I took off the cross member and cut a long open slot. I kept checking the fit until it was clear. The aluminum tube is hollow and cuts / grinds easy. Once I had the fit good, I backed filled it and packed in JB weld. Then I smoothed out the hardened epoxy and painted it. I didn’t snap a pic but it’s a basic fix if you really want to use the rack. Side note- I don’t use xm radio because they’re a ripoff scam but I had a free trial.... the antenna for xm would cut out traveling east bound w the rack sitting on it. It seems fine for FM radio. I mostly use my phone for music anyways.
