What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It looks fantastic and I could honestly consider buying this, I wasn’t even going to buy a mountain hatch or whatever.

 

Added load bars.

 

you made me spit my Sam Adams all over the place.

 

Got a new place to detail my truck inside. Meguiars Ceramic spray going on now

 

That's alcohol abuse

 

Finally wired my front cam (mounted the other day) to my aftermarket HU.

Wire in here.

Ground here.

Viola!

Thank you very much!!!

 

I want one.

 

Thanks. I’ll post a finished picture soon. I wanted to dump the airbox and make another but the sensor stopped me. I’d have to source a replacement weld on flange for the sensor first.

I will likely keep it 1 of 1.

 

Not knowing how the lights are internally wired. Provided the pictures provided are correct. Seen many that are wrong. The extra relay should work but I can’t believe KC got it that wrong. I assume these are led lights. Do you know how many watts the low and high beams draw?

low beam
the yellow wire center pin and white wire - are the low light setting. Power goes through the 3 amp fuse and when switched to - white wire and straight to the lights. Low beams should illuminate.

High beam
The yellow wire center pin and green wire = are the high setting. Power goes through the 3 amp fuse to terminal 86 (+ side of coil) on the relay. Terminal 85 (- side of coil) on the relay goes directly to ground. When the switch is set to the = the relay coil is energized letting the 25 amp power go through terminals 30 and 87 of the relay. This should be the high beam lights.

 

Highest residual value of any mass produced vehicle

 

I took the Tiny truck for a ride with the kids to see the folks and then let him out to play with the other Toyota’s once we got home.

 

Really nice looking rig.

 

Added the $24 ebay cargo lights. Already had the pigtail so maybe 10 minutes on the install. Pretty bright for a China clone.

 

I had a pro grill on mine. No garnish and it worked fine. Non OEM garnish gave me an error that wouldn’t go away, no TSS etc.

 

I found this survey of what is out in the market to be useful. Also, shipping is a killer so picking a slider made as locally as possible is not a bad strategy either:

Edit: I am not sure why the URL is blocked but I hope I didn't do anything wrong in posting the link. Still, a good quick list that provides an overview to a lot of slider options.

 

What size is your lift? This is about what I’m looking for

 

My girlfriend starting a new store and this one has a decent garage in the back. Finished detailing the entire truck while they were painting and and swapping ceiling tiles

 

Anyone order from the website casesforless ? I ordered a couple of pelican boxes (bx135 and bx 80) and I am awaiting shipment. I had a short conversation via email with someone after I was like, hey when is this gonna ship. She told me 8/5 for one and 8/20 for the other. No sign of the first, no tracking number etc. I’ve emailed them again and have had no response. I just want my flocking cases.

 

I have the RSi Loadbars too, I was surprised at how nice they looked when I picked my cap up.

 

2 in the front, 1 in the rear. The preload was removed and it just has the icon AAL
