What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks for the info! Those fogs should do the trick. That's what I was afraid of re: LEDs in the headlights. I'll look into brighter halogens. The stock headlights are pretty anemic.

 

Great info for sure. I really appreciate it I’ll dig in later today and see if I can find any. I’ll check and see if anyone local has any too. In DFW

People get rid of chrome because of glare? I just thought it looked tacky...

 

@crashnburn80 Did you have a recommendation for 3rd gen H11 low beam bulb replacement? Thx!

 

It does. And it’s not chrome. It’s plastic. So even more tacky.

 

Manual

 

Been doing a few minor things to my 21 SR

Not just today but meaning to post a few!

-OEM Bed Mat
-LED interior light conversion including licence plate and reverse bulbs
-Complete de-badge
-Upgraded halogens
-Weather tech in channel rain guards and hood deflectors
-Weathertech front and rear mats
-17"TRD Wheels
-265/70/17 BFG KO2s

Still to come:
-Bak MX4 tonneau cover
-Bilstein 5100/5160s
-Progressive AAL for 1-1.5 rear lift and extra load support

 

That's interesting. I figured most aftermarket wheels pretty much pushed the tire out more than stock. I just got the trd pro wheels and they push the tires out right to the hairy edge of the wheel wells. I think the wider stance looks good on it. Go fot it!

 

Now you gotta remove that front wind dam and give it the more agreesive look it deserves. Just curious, does it rub the new tires/wheels?

 

We are lucky to have a great member here who does a ton of research and backs it up with data. Do your own research for sure

Headlight thread (my take: all drop in LEDs are pretty poor. You’re going to have glare and blind other drivers due to poor cutoff induced by LEDs [thick] in a projector designed for a filament [thin]. Either modify phillips h9 or buy OEM LED assemblies. I went with H9 and it’s a huge improvement):

Foglight thread (my take: all drop in LEDs are pretty poor. I went with DiodeDynamics SS3 Pro and I’m extremely happy):

Say what you want. My Hikari LED headlights provide better night vision with excellent cutoff. Picture is with only low beams.

 

I just wanted to say thank you @rdgm71 for posting the pictures and link for these center caps. I was able to get them cheaper and quicker from my local dealership, so I went that route.
I must say I like how they look on my Barcelona Red OR. I do want to mention though that for all you hardcore OCD folks, the blacks are not an exact match to the center caps you are removing. Here are a few pics in case anybody was on the fence.

 

Cut shit up today. May have had too much fun cutting, but it came out fine.

 

Looking good ... now you need a pro grill, tailgate lettering, bed mat, husky liners, pro tail lights ...... it never stops

 

Too bad you don't have a befoe pic so we can see the improvement.

 

Those wheels look really nice when painted black too. Would make it all tie nicely together. (just an OCD observation)

 

That RED license plate clashes with the truck

 

Got a clean set of FJ-Cruiser rims and Falken 245/75/16 tires on my taco last month, been meaning to post. Sold the aftermarket stuff locally. Kudos to Discount Tire!

 

Since it's raining decided to get the Light bar tested and wired up.
