What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a decked system

 

I’m not sure the percentage tint actually. My friend has a tinting business and I told him to just match the rear windows. I will shoot him a text tonight and see what he says tho.

At night, honestly, best tint I’ve had on a vehicle. The last few cars I’ve gotten really dark tint and at night it was too dark. Especially now that I’m 40! Lol. I was really apprehensive to tint them because of the safety concern at night but now I’m glad I did. It’s hardly noticeable.

 

I built and installed my Bed Stiffeners for my truck. It’s a 2017 and I should have done it sooner. The rear box split about 3/16 of an inch on each side. I built it out of 1/4 inch steel so I think it’s pretty solid now.

 

Yes I’m going to try and link the items below.

Got these today brand new locally.

 

UPDATE:
Yes, this thing is a MUST HAVE for this engine: today I inspect how much oil I have inside after +/- 7000 km.
Well, please see photos: about 75 mL of nasty oil/condensate mix. I'm happy it's not going to my intake!
Highly recommend.

 

Busy day. Dropped the headliner and put Noico 80 mil and Noico Red in. Much quieter.

 

Mounted up a Plano case on my Martin Foundation Rack — for recovery gear and camping stuff. I’ll mount the other one in the morning. Camping next week.

 

That’s the funny thing 99.9% of Toyota engines never run them and are fine. Not saying it isn’t useful but yeah

 

Yup. IMHO it all depends from the owner. Installation of this thing, as regular maintenance/planned repairs can help you to get maximal time of active life of
truck (that's what I put like priority for this truck). if owner planning to change the new truck in 5 years to newer one... who cares?

 

Yes, it feels different. It’s slightly larger then the TRD Sport knob. I think it’ll be a personal preference which one you like better, stock vs pro. I’m still getting used to it. I did install it too loose at first, had another 2 full turns left in it, but I didn’t want to go to far originally and strip it out. It’s much tighter now. I thought I was going to have to locktite the threads, but I’ll see tomorrow if it still feels loose.

 

Good job, man!
This mod is in my list next, weather permitting.

 

Had a Highlander for about 200k miles before I sold it. Took apart the intake once and cleaned it with carb cleaner at about 150k miles. There was a lot of buildup but it was easy to clean.
Is that the purpose of the catch can?

 

Yes, this is one purpose, plus eliminating oil from burning in engine increasing lifespan of your cats.

 

Any rub issues?

 

Got a link to the boxes you decided on?

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

I'm gonna have to look into that USB power take-off from the mirror. Thats looks like a simple and clean install.

 

Yeah, sure, "turned off". Just what they want you to think.
