What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Im only going that route after all else fails.

After further inspection(and talking to the Yota tech), I found a spot on a tube that runs up the filller pipe and goes into the tank(the one that requires the tank to be replaced as it cannot be removed, apparently). So I am hoping that this is the problem and I am attemting to do an adhesive sealer repair on it. We'll see if I am successful in a week or so.

If that fails, I will try splicing a hose in where the damage is. I am just trying to exhaust all the "not having to remove the tank" options first.

It won't hurt the truck to drive, so I don't have to worry about getting it done asap.

 

Cool. I'm quite disappointed with the USB port above the existing QI charger both of which charge at very slow useless really rates

 

I started thinking about getting running boards because my wife comments every time she gets in the truck. I don't need sliders or any of that I just need a step so she can get in and out. How much did those cost?

 

Washed the truck today that's not even a year old and felt a little bad that I've accumulated this many pinstripes. That said, it means I'm having fun.

 

Found it on Amazon $300+tax

 

20% window tint side and rear yesterday.

 

Put my ECT switch back on the dashboard and moved it to the left side of the steering wheel. Tied it in with @MESO stealth shift button so either button controls the function. Didn’t need to do it, just wanted to.

Shoutout to @trdtacomabob for making the “Y” connector and 30” harness to do this mod. https://kabowest.com

 

Yeah, I am a paint guy and couldn't imagine all those. Makes my cringe but I know its part of the offroading game

 

Got my CBI Aluminum Armor Delivered Today!! Going to install it this week.

They really know how to package it--bolted down to pallet .

Unpacked and Spread Out


With all the Hardware

 

Installed door molle panels, now I need stuff to put on them.

 

I wouldn't mind doing this, but I ain't so confident in taking the roof off w/o tearing the hell outta something. Nice job though!

 

Finally broke the hinge on the fuel filler door that was seized up. Now closes great lol. Any idea how to get the assembly off? Is it riveted in? Can’t seem to tell how it’s held on.

 

Look like plastic push tabs. Push the center hole in that plastic circle with something.



Edit:

Guess that’s a rivet you have to drill.

Del Rio.

 

Thanks man! Yea I thought for sure I was going to break at least one piece of plastic somewhere, but I guess I got lucky. Def would not recommend though hah

 

Peppered in bug guts woke up early and hit the car wash.

 

Installed the DV8 skid plate, finally get transfer case covered.
It doesn’t have a oil filter hole. But it look like I can access front the side.

 

Just joined this site,

I just got a toolbox for my bed, I bought those no drill bed holders but it didn't work with the rail, so I just used a spare T nut and installed there.

I kinda wanna black out the truck but I'm kinda digging the chrome, especially with some of those chrome tailgate letters?

Sure would be cheaper too haha

 

Also what i did today, spilled some left over pot pie in the passenger seat, my Tupperware broke on the drive into work.

Got some of that interior oxi clean stuff and just praying it dries nicely
