What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My guess would be that the super charger is putting constant pressure toward the valves, while a normally aspirated engine is always under a vacuum. But I'm not an engineer.

 

was waiting to see a topper in army green. Did it come like that or did you have it painted?

 

Today's chore involved "surgery" on the door speakers. Not an overwhelming task, but nonetheless, it took some time and patience. These were some speakers that @Jthizz2006 recommended, and I have to say these are leaps and bounds better than the factory ones. Speakers aren't normally things I care too much about, but in this case, it was a must. I didn't put any sound deadening on (I know, I know --- very much recommended), but wasn't a priority. Right now .

Probably total time was about 2-3 hours to do all 4 doors. Removing screws and paneling is one thing. Re-assembly can be a bit more tedious. Especially when the interior doors handles themselves can be a PITA.

Anywho, it's done.

Driver side old speaker:




Rear passenger:





(And in case anyone who might be wondering, the 2 wires hanging out of the door panel are the wires for the KTJO bowl lights -- which I will have to replace one. The wire snapped on one.)

 

Questions on the Pro grille: Did your truck come with a front camera or was that one of your mods? And did you cut it to fit?

 

An audio upgrade is a must with this truck. Nice work.

Next time you need to take your doors off, I'd recommend just disconnecting the door handle cables from the back of the handle. Much easier and faster to do.

 

Well at 175k miles I changed my plugs for the second time and I'm glad I did! This it 100k on these plugs and they are melted pretty good, 2 out of 6. Maybe that's why toyota suggests it sooner than 100k. And got a new belt, old one squealed and was cracked. Also changed pedal pads to the old 79-83 style, I like them alot more and they look better. Lol.

 

Of all the 'cool' things I have done to my baby, the 2 absolute most practical and every day actually useful are the pop-n-lock for the tailgate and the OEM bed mat...highly recommend both

 

Went to Georgetown Tx 3 hr drive from Houston and got a whopping 1500 miles since I bought the Taco Nov 20th.

 

It’s after market. Yes I have the front camera. Grill is from tacolife.com. He makes the grill to fit and then I bought a mounting bracket from him aswell.

 

Went to Hollister Hills....

Truck Hill in the upper left hand corner of the pic, super steep....

Spotted a 2nd gen on the lower obstacle course; nice rig.....

Fun day with primo weather!

 

Installed my Prinsu rack today.

 

100% agree. I’ll also add my arm rest organizer to this must have list.

 

You hear that everyone? Sport hoods suck! Spread the word

I’ll get a scooped hood one way or another.

 

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.

 

Only have a handful of shakedown miles as of now. Its stiffer than my sport suspension but not terrible.

 

Nice work!, can you please tell me about your cap?, I don't think I have see one with those side windows like the ones you got!, nice fit too.

 

and everything on the truck is metric..., did you know that NASA has been building all their stuff using guess what measurement system...yes, you're right...the metric my friend!

 

Beautiful S2k.
Nice truck.

The perfect choices to fill a garage.

 

Nice!
