What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I had to trim out the section in yellow on my rokblokz front to help fit the bigger tires. It pushed the mud flaps back and eliminated a spacer.... but it might be different on yours

 

I typically strongly advise against storing a spare on the roof... It reduces the roof's ability to maintain integrity in case of a roll-over... (Ask me how I know).

 

How do you know?

 

Found some grill lights specifically for TRD Sport grill from YotaLEDs. Trying to find a way to have it on with DRLs and not just headlights, but the add a fuse supplied with wire harness make it a plug and play for headlights.

 

Look for the “INJ” fuse!

 

RUNNING 4 TACO'S has a DRL harness

 

money!

 

Always!

 

Front has longer spacers than the rears. IN the packaging they just label them incorrectly. The put the front spacers in a bag labeled rear and vice versa. The spacers merely level the flap so it is parallel to the tire tread when they are in the straight position. Although I do find because of the extra space in that area, mud runs down the back side of the spacer...which doesn’t matter to me but might others?

 

Issue is it sits flus with the edge of the fender, you could trim out a section of the flap I would think. I run 265/70/17s on stock suspension and I miss rubbing the mud flap by like a hair (well maybe 3/8” in or so). I bought them specifically because someone mentioned they don’t get rub with my size tires like the stocks do.

 

love this so much, but my kids would be so sad about the elf.

 

Lol, my kid literally just saw this post watching over my shoulder and was pissed !!! Hahah

 

Same tire size on stock suspension. Glad to know you barely miss it!

 

Got my extremeled lightbar mounted and adjusted. All wiring tied into my @Mr.PowerTrays setup (thanks Maverick, you are amazing. @SDHQOFFROAD trim in with Switch-Pros unit along with SDHQ battery post terminals. @upTOPoverland rack all hunkered in. need to find some roof moulding strips to aesthetically please my eyes lol. Just waiting on some wire loom to show up to finish up the project! Planning on doing a write up as soon as time allows. I have gotten a ton of ideas and help from members and vendors and want to pass it on.

 

I spy a sand flea rake.

 

Well, since you ask... - As it turns out - I happened to be in the passenger seat on a Land Cruiser way up top around Cape York (The northernmost pointy tip on the East coast of Australia) as we were in a bit of a rush trying to catch the last barge across a river, when the driver had a 'lapsus Brutus' at high speed and we lost control in a turn, got sideways, hit a bank, took some air and landed upside down and rolled for a while...

We had one of the spares on the roof. - It was not pretty. The point load presented by the spare promoted the roof collapse of an otherwise quite stout roof structure. There was BARELY enough room on my side for me to eventually wiggle my head, and then the rest of me out of the small gap left to access the outside with cuts and bruises as a result.

It took me forever to wiggle out and I was exhausted by the time I did... I was expecting the worst by the time I managed to use a pick and shovel to eventually pry open the driver's side door. The driver's side was completely collapsed and the driver was out cold so the whole time he made not a peep... ​

I found him in one piece - but out cold and crumpled in the footwell! - Fortunately the seatbelt did not lock and let him go there!

We both walked away, but only by chance. Had there been a fire - we both would have been toast as we would not have been able to get out in time.
We were the last of 3 vehicles - so there was no one coming-up behind us. Our radio was useless, so we had to wait until the rest of the vehicle concluded that something had gone wrong and managed to make their way back the track to find us with a smashed Land Cruiser and gear sprawled all over the countryside...

 

Good thing I went with the heavy springs!

 

Painted my Grom to match it

 

That's pretty cool

 

sold my OG last summer or you know I’d be doing this!

looks good
