What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They did put a couple miles on the truck and unplugged my dash cam for the duration of the visit at the dealership. I did have to approve an hour of diag since my truck is modified. The TSB says it's covered under Federal Emissions warranty till 80K so I wasn't too worried. I offered to take the advisor for a drive to display the issue but he said it should be fine. Got a call about 90 minutes after dropping it off that it was all ready to go. I work in the auto biz and spent 7 years in a dealership. My brother worked for a Toyota dealer as an advisor and then service manager for about 18 years in 2 of their stores.

 

My last vehicle was a Yukon and it had a TSB on the transmission fluid. My wife and I took it in to get it looked at and they started that stuff. All the more reason I don’t buy GM products anymore.

 

Painted my bed bars!

 

Nice work.

 

The army green changes color a lot but the cement color does also... possibly more. Or maybe it’s because I’m always staring at mine? Congrats

 

Took out the borla and installed the ss trd exhaust for the dclb.

 

Since it was a balmy 30F degrees out today I finished wiring my roof lights. I gotta say you would think Toyota would have a better access point in the firewall for pulling wires, they have to know people mod the hell out of these trucks. The one unused grommet is right behind the clutch pedal and that was really annoying. Now all that's left is to tidy up the wires but that will have to wait until it is truly warm outside, at least 45F degrees lol.

 

Been a few weeks since I've posted hope everyones holidays went well. The taco, however, has gone through some changes. Some are minor(stickers and decals) other are a bit bigger(RCI front skid plate and 1.5" AAL from icon). The skid was given to me courtesy of Mrs. Claus and the AAL's went on last weekend. Also have RCI rock rails on order, but who knows when they will get here...long lead time 6-8 weeks. Enjoy!!!

 

My knockoff TRD skid plate was on the porch when I got home from work this afternoon. Looks good a few places have a bit of rough edge but it's 1/4" thick I'm sure and is about 30+ pounds. The bolt missing in the pic I have it was in the box.

 

I’m sure that he’s not the type to let something get under his skin. Again, he’s hopefully just enjoying some r&r and taking care of other things.

 

69 oh yeah!

 

Got some new shoes and socks. More details in this thread.

 

Added another attachment today. Ya never know when you're gonna need a 42" crowbar. Better to be with than without. I tried to attach a 30 second video but it didn't load. The point of the video was to show that when the tailgate is closed, the crowbar can not be removed.

 

Ive actually used my giant crowbar many times. If you ever see a duck walking around a sewer, chances are the baby ducks fell down. You can use the crowbar to pull off the sewer cover and rescue them.

 

Added the Prinsu cab rack. Love the look now.

 

Yea, really hope nothing bad happened. This is the second time he's disappeared. Hope he comes back.

 

Picked up some Kmc wheels for a good deal the other night, bronze in color though. Not sure how they would look with my silver sky color, but I think I dig it. Just need to get some new tires ordered up and I think the bronze should look alright. Still waiting on my coilovers being rebuilt, then I'll be doing the whole front end/rear aal at the same time.

 

What did you do to your fogs? Love it !

 

They appear to be Lamin-X.

Ordered the Headstrong aal with rear extended 5100s. Now I just gotta set up an appointment with the man @Jason TRD OR!
