What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

are those the bronze/black? difficult to be sure with the lighting.

 

Matte Bronze with a black lip. I’ll take another pic if the the sun ever comes out

 

Ya, that's a nice power outlet, but I'm not sure about the light surround. Although, it is pretty cool that it goes from red to blue when charging is complete. You might consider

Cllena Dual USB Port Charger Socket Quick Charge 3.0 & 2.4A for Toyota

this one to fit the center switch panels. I'm not confident the other one will fit.

For the A/T shift window (which IMO provides the most glare), I went with this in flat black.

 

I'm very surprised that it would work with the truck not running, since the outlet only supplies 100W in that case, and I would think that the vacuum cleaner would draw more than that. However, I'm fine with using it with the engine running so that the outlet is in the 400W mode.

Yes, I saw that video sometime back, and it is quite interesting what you can and cannot operate from the outlet.

Thanks for the response.

 

it does not. I was afraid it would but my fears were exaggerated.

 

Thanks! I got 2 of them. that one is a 71 that hasnt run in years. Its more of a parts Bronco than anything now. I have another 76 which Im in the middle of tearing down and rebuilding from the frame up.

 

did OEM TPS work? I watched a set on eBay and they just emailed a discount...I assume you ordered black lug nuts too. Mag type, not conical? And thanks, company is not taking phone calls right now. These are great looking.

 

thanks. The OEM TPMS sensors did fit and heres a link to the

lugs

 

I like the idea of the lighted rim and voltage indicator but I like the idea of clean factory looking install more so I my end up using that one you've recommended thanks! And maybe the shifter vinyl if mine doesn't work as well as I'd like..

 

They can be left open, but they would be "loose". When they are closed they have a latch system that installs.

With it in the latched position, it opens from inside the bed (not the bedside).

 

Got the leaking axle rebooted and installed. The tulip was on there good as it took me three hours with a hammer, a punch, some penetrating fluid, and a torch to finally get it off. Never once did it let loose until it was completely removed.




Also adjusted the coilovers back down to about 1” of lift to keep from topping them out on fast off road stuff. Makes me want to add limit straps in the future.

Got a JLT catch can kit too in the hopes that I don’t hydrolock my engine at steep angles. Cheap insurance that may or may not work

 

I have a tire/wheel warranty where as long as my tire is not bald, and wheel is not destroyed then Toyota will replace my tire/wheel FREE if any damage were to come of it.
Better example, I could’ve gotten a nail in my tire the day after I drove it off the lot, and instead of patching the tire they would just give me a brand new tire free!! But it’s the same tire I get back (Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar Edition)

 

Very nice! Those look great! Now you need a good tune for your truck!

 

You looked at the meso vent rings?

 

Shit, those lights add 5-10hp each!! Can't stop my tires from spinning on take off! LOL

 

Finally got the lift in. Will try to get better pics after work or tomorrow. Need bigger tires now!

 

At least 10hp for sure! Your future is so bright!

 

What lift? How much lift ... etc

 

Billstein 5100’s front/rear, OME 886 coils in anticipation of the front bumper, and Headstrong off-road 3 leaf progressive AAL. Haven’t measured the end result yet......

 

Looks great! How high did you go on the front bilsteins?
