What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Love these grills. I want to do this next.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask (shame me if it is), but are these grills the $400 TRD's or the $200 knock-offs (Infamous Amazon "TOTOYA" Grills)? I've got no problems with knock-offs if the quality isn't that far off.

Has anyone had both and compared?

 

*I* need directions on how to screw on skid plates. How is that a problem? Companies should send out directions with equipment meant to modify a vehicle. Period.

 

So much better without the air dam

 

Interesting. I may need to climb back in mine and check again, I don't recall if I grounded to that screw or that silver bolt next to it.

 

Installed these door sill protectors, used the wet method. Super easy install.

are those plastic or like a thick vinyl sticker

 

On my ‘18 I didn’t see any other bolts nearby. The silver bolt on your ‘20 might be the same gnd but saves you messing with the fuse box gnd cluster.

 

More of a thick, textured vinyl sticker with an adhesive backing.

 

doesnt count as what i did today, but did a few things this past weekend. oem pro tails, oem black chrome exhaust tip, and replaced my meso red engine start stop button for the red trd start stop button.

 

You know that actually doesn't look bad at all in gray. If you had a gray accent up front (to be determined) you might not even need to paint it. Sort of looks cool. And maybe painting it white might be too much white. Just a thought ...

 

What’s the difference between the OEM TRD start/stop button and MESO?

 

Nah. Paint it white.

 

Paint it black to complete the Storm Trooper look.

 

Took the goofy sport decals off.

 

I don't know.

From a design perspective, white is the safest. Black and the Storm Trooper look is great but pretty much overdone at this point (nothing wrong with that by the way).

Not saying this should be done ... but there is something interesting about the gray from a design perspective that raises the question of a different look and feel. Worth exploring if people want to get away from white and black.

But, then again, what do I know. I have a gray truck ...

 

I like your first aid kit! What's inside?

- RH01

 

How you like the water port?

 

Looks great.
I did one door yesterday and then it started raining on me, so I went back inside. Now I have a mismatched truck. (until later today)

 

If you get on BAM wholesale, the tailgate lock is $129 just search the same part number. they have a short box and long box part number tho so just make sure to get the one you need. I ordered from there and it was cheaper eben with shipping. And its OEM toyota. super easy to install all plug and play

 

I love the look without the bedside decals, so clean.
