What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Went to work.

 

The Fuel BLITZ Wheels are 16X8 with a +01mm Offset. Stock Off Road TPMS work with these so no need to order new ones.

For tires I went with BF Goodrich KO2's 265/75/16 E Rated.

No lift or after market suspension and I have no rubbing with this set up.

 

Do they stick out past the fenders at all? Do you have a side profile shot? Thanks man

 

When I swapped the stock speakers for the Kickers, I wasn’t that impressed. It was a small improvement, but not worth it IMO.

...then I upgraded the head unit. And what a difference! I think the power difference really made them come alive.

 

What did you go with on your head unit upgrade? I did the kickers too and sound deadening and also...not a huge upgrade.

 

hahaha excellent question. In retrospect I should’ve moved the truck up a bit

 

ok, dumb question, but Im sure someone here knows. The plug thats unplugged in this picture, I need to tap into one wire on it and I want to tap into it inside the fuse box to make sure it stays clean. So, does anyone know how to pop the plastic cover that holds that wire bundle in? I need to route the new wire up the same hole so its not pinched by the edges of the fuse box cover.

 

I think it pops up to get it out, might be a clip. It's been years since I did mine

 

I tried for like a hour last night to get it up, but it wouldnt move. Does the main power wire need to be unbolted first, then pull the "loom cover things" off one by one. Looks like they overlap.

 

Start at the 7 min mark

You da best!

 

You got it dude!

 

Now looking at that video, it actually gives me a idea.... I got the AC doesnt work at idle TSB that adds a aux fan, but it also adds a nice little factory aux fuse box. The fuse box holds 3 relays, and 3 mini fuses. I bet I can run the power wire from the aux fuse box through that hole also and plug it into the main boxes power... This will save me running extra wires to my battery terminals.

 

That's what I want to hear. This stuff isn't cheap and these wheels aren't the easiest thing to clean due to the multiple facets. Thanks.

 

Installed the bed mat which took all of 10seconds. Boy does this thing have a stench!
Got it for a good deal for about $81 shipped to AZ from Roger's Toyota (CA) online. Customer service was great, they gave me a call prior to shipping to confirm I did in fact have a short bed since the mat was for a short bed.

 

Yeah - but you look *GOOD* doing that 5 MPG...

 

This looks awesome. Let us know how long it takes for the smell to subside. Ever heard of these getting stolen? I would think if it’s garage it doesn’t matter but maybe at like the store or something? I want to buy but don’t want it ripped out the back haha

 

I’ve had mine in for a week now, in AZ also, and smell is really diminished

 

I've never personally heard of them stolen, but there's been a thread on it. It was a but clunky to move around. In AZ it gets pretty hot so I would think in the summer people wouldn't wanna bear hug this thing to carry it off haha.

Mine arrived this week. Hope to install it this weekend. Any problem with the antenna clearing the rear bar?
