What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think Toyota still has a strict no layoff policy for direct employees. Don't know what percentage of their workforce is direct vs contract though. As you said though, hopefully it works out for everyone.

 

Yep, same here. One step at a time. I always wanted to tint the front windows on my 08 but never did it so I'm making myself do it this time! Did you do the ceramic or just regular tint?

 

Plasti dip.

 

Ceramic will reject the most amount of heat, regular tint only provides privacy. You can also ask for some ceramic tint that is virtually clear and add it to all other windows to help with heat. I ended up adding 5% to the front 2 windows, I believe 15% to the rear and back glass which brought it down to 5% all around and then did the entire windshield at 50% and it stays a lot cooler especially having all black "leather" interior.

Here ya go. Its abit long i do apologize. But its very detailed. Also the mod itself is crazy easy. Takes 30 min max.

 

spent all his money on the music video….

I did a couple of crazy mods last night...

Engine Cover Vinyl Decals as found here.



And, Matte Black Anti-Glare Vinyl Decals for the Dashboard as seen here.

 

I have a GarFab it is awesome. Fit and finish are perfect. Kids get snacks, coffee, beers… everything stays level.

 

He should really love the Cavalry Blue… when he does pour over coffee I gagged a little at hipsterness (mostly cuz I only drink espresso)

 

I went with 3M Ceramic. The heat rejection was a huge driver that made it worth the extra cash for me.

 

If that is Meso Customs, it should have clicked into place.

Fekking rad!

 

Just took delivery a few weeks ago and have already started buying things I told myself I didn’t need yet...

 

Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be doing all or some of this idea...

 

Crazy it's that big of a difference!

Went to a junk yard yesterday and snagged a shell and a storage compartment for the left side of the bed.

Donor truck.





Storage compartment.



All cleaned up and home.

 

What did that stuff cost you from the junkyard? Always wondered what kind of prices junkyards charge for take off parts, and what kind of savings can be had.
