What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! Picked it up Dec 02. Got a super deal on my ‘17 at trade in. So far the transmission is better than on the ‘17 so I guess they worked out some of the bugs as rumored.

 

The dial on you center gauge cluster, if you turn it clockwise it will make the door bowl lights brighter

 

oh...

That's absolutely not what I want ‍♂️.

I guess that answers the question of why it's so dim though... I have red door bowls that won't kill night vision and cause a bunch of eye strain... I keep my dash dimmed to limit eye strain. Lame.

 

Same. Still have to solder the antenna connection but I’m hopeful we both dig our new systems.

 

Just waiting on the new antenna and mount and everything will be good. That was until I just saw a post of someone who mounted theirs inside the dash. Now it's got me rethinking the who idea.

 

I put some pics of my install up a couple hours ago. Take a peek at my thread about routing the antenna cable. I’ll create a full install thread once I have it hard wired to my fuse box sometime next week.

 

Couple of questions:
Did you find the need to heat the Kilmat? I have a bunch of it and was waiting for warmer weather bc I’ve heard it’s difficult to work with in the cold.

Did you use a specific write-up and/or kit for the in-dash charger? I have the DMM too, and was looking at upgrading my phone mount to the Mous case and the Qi charging-mount that works with it.

 

Just traded in my old 07 TRD OR 2x4 w/ 230k miles for a 17 TRD 4x4 (blue to orange swap) as an impromptu x-mas gift to myself and the family for our camping adventures. Got some new parts for the soft topper, painted the rails/hardware black, and got it all mounted up. Took care of extra d-rings while I was at it as well. Already enjoying the heated seats in the CO winter. Remote start from N2Designs on the way.

 

Got some goodies for the truck

 

Congrats! The soft topper looks good on it.

 

As a friendly reminder...upon reassembly of the dash parts, be sure and put the bottom piece back onto the steering column first, then proceed. It is easy to naturally want to put the dash piece back in place first. Just sayin'.

If your response is, "How do you know that?" save it....

My newest mod (ha!) is the Meso Customs coin tray to put in that awkward square hole in the center console

Some 2020 TRD pro headlights and a 30” s8 in the bumper. Anyone looking for a set of 2019 trd pro headlights?

Put some spacers on the truck, really happy with the outcome

 

Do you guys have a part number?

 

I just received and installed my new tailgate cover from AL Offroad. I was looking at so many different brands that i thought it was going to be machined plastic, but it is powder coated aluminium. I was pleasantly reminded. Fit and finish are very nice. It looks great and no more lumpy cover/ knee buster.

 

access cab or double cab?

 

you dropped your lock tight.

 

Lol don’t worry I picked it up when I cleaned up the driveway
