What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got around to installing the Husky floor liners and Teton Workshop shift knob !

 

There is a stud higher, now I see the lower stud but I had the perfect amount of wire. Let the fording commence!

 

Broken foot and still using a chair as a saw horse lol. I have way too much respect for my unluckiness to try that twice.

 

I know man, it feels fine most of the time, then wham! Throbs.

Such a cool shifter knob. I really like that.

You're right, I'm a dumbass. I should buy and build myself another set. Tempting bad luck! Ill definitely use my wheel barrow to get my floor jacks from the barn, plan on using those to help me w the slider install.

 

I put it on last July 2020, it was a "face swap" so I traded cash and my stock front bumper for the full stage 1 and stage 2, with stock suspension with a 2n1 spacer/block lift that came with the truck, then got the long awaited suspension upgrade (upgraded to: Elka 2.5 w/adjustable resi's front and back along with Dobinsons Heavy Leaf Springs).

Feel free read on here it's the first part of that thread.

 

Thanks

 

The stage 1 only adds something like 40-45lbs net over OE stuff pulled off, the stage 2 wings come in around 25-30lbs for the pair.

 

You get this from a dealership? Expensive? I’m debating what I want to spend money on :-/

 

Got the sd card from my local Toyota dealer. $156.40. Seems list is about $169.00 with various dealers giving a little discount. Just wasn't too sure about using the cheaper alternatives that are available.

I just order a cheapest mods, hope it’s ok quality.

 

so what did you actually do and what year does this work on?

 

I really wish I would've done more research when I wanted to remove the little V6 badge on my tailgate, the fishing line would have been so much better. I read somewhere that you could use dental floss. All we had around the house was waxed floss and let's just say it was not ideal.

 

Getting some quality upgrades... BP-51s all around

 

My detailer hates the fishing line trick as you can scrape the paint. Heat and a no mar plastic pry bar are what he suggested.

 

I watched a supposed "professional detailer" rip badges off a vehicle with pliers. That was a little rough for my liking. Haven't had any problems with the fishing line method and have done that a few times now, but I can see where it could scratched if you get unlucky.

 

That’s the one! I haven’t had any rattling issues yet. It’s hard to explain, but you can rotate the pins so the rings rest on the carpet kind of and this has eliminated all rattling for me.

 

Mounted a 36" curved light bar to replace my 20" one that I had on my previous rack. I'm really pleased with how sleek it turned out. Hopefully this Amazon light holds up but only time will tell.

 

Ah geez, yeah I've always had good results with fishing line.

 

Looking good, let us know how you like them!

 

So a plastic scraper wont scratch but fishing line will..... how
