What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've only just recently discovered streamlined/ slimline bumper winches and I am quickly falling in love with that style, mainly this one from SOS offroad.

 

Fantastic build - gives me some ideas.

How long of a hose did you use, and where did you run it to? Asking because I have a kit with a six foot hose I haven’t installed yet and want to have it terminate at the drivers tail light. Any feedback appreciated!

 

3M makes grip-tape/safety products that are quite durable, it's called Safety Walk.

Another busy day (yesterday completed ironman suspension install)

Today: interior work... namely, CHOME DELETE! WOO!!

Went better than I expected, as I was nervous about dismantling the 3TPAM dash kit.. Somehow it all came back to me and was able to get down to the A/C control panel no issue.

CHROME ACCENTS BEFORE... YICK!


PULLED APART


So, the 4WD + Start/Stop knob was from meso, along with shift ring, cup holder and door handle accent pieces. For the vent rings and steering wheel emblem, I went with AJT as I liked his vent covers better aesthetically.

However, I am at a loss at how these teeny-tiny little strips of 3M were supposed to hold up against all the various temperature changes I see. AS WELL AS.. if the chrome pieces were meant to be removed on all the vents or not.

Whatever. I had fun tossing all the chrome into the trash can and busted out some gorilla glue on the vent covers to ensure they won’t find themselves rolling around the cab.

GLUING VENT RINGS ON


BLING BLAOW!


ANNNNNND.... THE AFTER! WOOT!


BYE- BYE CHROME!!

BUiLD 3.0 INSTALLS ARE DONE!

 

Made a bed platform for under $100.

Materials:
Two 2x6s

Outdoor/Indoor area rug 6x8
Adhesive spray (Gorilla Glue Spray)
Heavy duty stapler and staples (T50)
Circular saw

 

Looks clean
I did the same thing with my Retrax. I will say that the connecting piece on canister side from Retrax isn’t the best but it’s nice being able to easily remove the tubes if I do need to clean out the canister.

 

I actually purchased a 7' piece of hose. You should be able to do it with 6'. I have plenty of slack where it runs above the spare tire. I ran above the spare, over the frame and up through the drivers tail light to the very top. You could mount a little lower in the tail light than I did. Very easy install that took me about 15 min or so.

 

The Chrome Gods will never forgive you.

 

Like the idea of extra tie down points.

 

Thank you, sir!

 

Today I transported a stainless steel clam trough. Tomorrow I will be transporting a freakin' pipe organ!

 

LED lights? My fiancé’s 4Runner had the cargo area plug and won’t run normal Christmas lights

 

I thought those were handy as well.

 

pictures when your done getting everything set up?

 

Any time. Good luck with your install.

 

Diameter?
