What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Made a platform (or two) for my double cab a few months ago and have been trying to get everything squared away to make it an official business. Today I can finally show my creation to you guys as everything is finally live. And yes they are for sale, check out my post in the B/S/T section (both 2nd and 3rd gen) if you are interested in one, or want to read more info about it! Yes I know the pictures are in a 2nd gen but the platforms have been tested and fit perfectly in both 2nd and 3rd gen so wanted to share with you guys as well!

 

The fogs look great, but what’s your guess on the long term durability of that Kylon in the elements and with heat from the bulbs? Did you use any kind of topcoat?

$6 in the 90’s? I was making $15 an hour cash in the 80’s as an arborist. I guess it depends on what you were doing.

 

I was at $5.35 in 1998 at Knotts Berry Farm. Good times.

 

It's a PT job. I was still in high school. It was manual labor.

 

Recently I got my TRD grille emblem on and also did the Viper cut to my front bumper for more clearance

 

threw on a MT pro knob that I picked up from a fellow TW member.

 

I was just surprised by that rate in the 90’s.

 

Looks awesome! Did you do it yourself?

 

Well, in 1996, minimum wage was $4.75 an hour. So $1.25 above that was "good." But you also have to keep in mind that pay in Mississippi isn't gonna be like CA. Nor is the cost of living.

 

I was making $10 an hour working at Wendy’s in 1996. Now I make $800,000 a year, but have 3 employees to pay so I’m still at $10 an hour

 

What a difference

 

If you PM me, I can share pictures of how i did it. It's a little tricky and involved a lot of soldering and pulling wires through tiny holes and more. I could make a plug and play solution for others, but that involves getting some male and female wedge connectors that Meso makes.

 

I have the 5100's and a heavy spring package (coils / leaf's) from Headstrong Off-road on my '18 Sport. Very happy with the stance and ride.

 

I did notice that already. When I am sure this is all I want to do with this box, I'm going to use some 3M double sided tape and secure it all. I thought about glue, but not sure how well it would work with the structure of the foam. Also thinking about the lid and options there.

 

@STrooper, per your request, some night pics:

 

Anyone know what the warranty is the batteries in these things? im at 2.3 years 20k miles, my battery is shot and Im trying to decide if I should even bother going to the dealer or if I should just go grab a new one at costco.

 

I just did a new one at AutoZone. Except I'm at 62k in the same time frame.

 

If you're still under 3 year/36K warranty, should be covered.
