What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

alright cool, I might be interested and I am local as well so if you end up deciding on selling them, let me know!

 

That's a hell of a mod there brother!

No but seriously though, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to get it resolved in a relatively quick manner.

 

Installed all the interior chrome delete parts from meso. It’s a simple cosmetic modification but turned out to be one of my favorites.

 

Drove mine in the snow...

 

Woah, that looks beautiful! I can’t wait for mine, the shop that’s been doing it has been a pain in the ass, but it seems that the install will be in early January. Can’t wait!

 

Hey y’all. I ordered the S&B intake for my Taco. I’m kinda sketched out from the company though. I ordered it from Down East Offroad on November 28th. They emailed me an order confirmation, but haven’t updated me about the shipping. I called once to ask for an update and I was told they’d call me back to let me know, they never did. I’ve called about 5-6 times after that and they never pick up. I haven’t heard anything from the company. Has anyone purchased anything from Down East Offroad?

Sadly, I might have to contact my bank and tell them to dispute the charge, but I’ll wait another week. The issue is that this is literally the only company I was able to find who told me they’d ship it to California. No other company ships it to California due to CARB compliancy issues.

 

Did your dealership call you to to schedule the appointment or did you need to call. I'm at 3600 miles and it should be six months for me in January. I haven't been driving as much lately since the pandemic and there being fewer social activities to do. Now our wonderful Governor Wolf's new restrictions, closed more stuff again it's not likely I'll get to 5000 miles. I guess they want to do it at 6 months regardless of mileage.

 

S&B shows a ton of dealers in state and in Nevada. Maybe the check NV threads for someone who could TW express it to you if you have to cancel the order. You might br better off without it. I pulled and returned my K&N because all it did was make the truck louder. no performance improvement at all.

 

How bright is that at night?

How did you get the OEM cigarette lighter out?

 

Nice shots

You’ll need to get access behind it to install. There are release pins to get it out. You can cut the oem L piece for the new usb socket or splice. Also might have to make the hole a little bigger to fit the new socket. Just file or drill a little at a time and check.

 

That looks awesome.

 

I looked up a different dealership near where I worked and called. They didn’t make me have an appointment, I just showed up before work and a buddy picked me up and took me back at lunch.

 

Not sure of the brightness at night. I haven’t checked it when it’s dark. There is a soft touch power button to turn it off when not in use.

Getting the 12v outlet out takes time and patience. There are 2 square holes in the outlet (one on top, one bottom). Use a pick tool to push the tabs of the plastic surround holding the metal cylinder of the outlet in place. From what I’ve read, the cylinder should totally come out from the plastic surround. This was not my case. I was able to get the metal piece out maybe a quarter of an inch, got frustrated, and carefully pulled it out with pliers. The outlet (plastic surround and metal insert) pulled out in one piece.

 

Yikes.

 

is this the black kit? Looks good!

 

Took mine in at the 1 year mark with just over 4k on the clock. The changed the oil and rotated the tires so I guess it 10k or 1 year whichever comes first on the oil change.

 

For what it’s worth, the day I purchased mine, the dealer scheduled my first maintenance for me. I completely forgot about it till my wife reminded me about a week prior. She has had a RAV4 for years, so she showed me how to log into the dealership website and I was able to see I did in fact have an appointment already scheduled. Dunno if that is a common thing or not, but it is what my dealership had done. They also scheduled my second maintenance for me in May before I left on Friday.

 

Yes it is. Thank you, I think so too.
