What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good question. Guess I should open a bidding war for it. Ammo is in short supply these days.

 

Debadged. Peeled the black vinyl from the doors. Took about 3 hrs.

 

I go back and forth with the removal of the pillar vinyl. On one hand I like the appearance of a whole side window effect; then on the other I like the separation effect that you now have.

Well done.

 

please be sure to use the common sense universal background check system and apply the appropriate taxes to keep the country safe and running smoothly.

 

This is the light sensor for the auto headlights… Passenger side tweeter cover… There is not a lot of room to work up there, and the wires attached to that sensor are pretty short, and the connector is nearly impossible to disconnect in the amount of space you’re working in. I was able to switch the tweeter out without disconnecting the light sensor, but man what a pain.

 

Speaking of this light sensor? I think mine has failed about a month ago. Has anyone had this happen?

 

Before and after

 

Tell me more!

 

Installed my winter storage for the RTT and bed rack setup. It uses an electric hoist to take it off the truck and lift it to where I can use ratchet straps to secure it onto the ceiling of the garage. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

Nice, pretty crafty setup.

 

Basically we found a piece of metal that was about 4 inches wide and happen to be perfect for my needs.
It already had a curved bottom so we took the corners and folded them upward, this is what the lower rim sits on with the mount. There was already cut slots in the piece of metal and these worked perfectly for the bed rail to mount to using 3/8th bolts into T slot nuts. A quick cinch strap around it to hold it and voila. I'll add some durable rubber between the tank and mount for wear and will post some photos with and without the tank for you.

 

I bought the head unit from a lightly used 2021 from the Buy / Sell / Trade section on here. I think the previous owner said it was in his truck for less than two months. The harness was from autoharnesshouse.com, it was about $160.

I have looked at them, but I feel I can get a little more bang for my buck by doing it myself.

They're so good. And their new album comes out Friday! Stoked!

Put the Toyota Bed Extender on yesterday after work.
Easy enough to install and plenty of utility.

Its funny how it was kinda hard to drill into a brand new truck.

 

Very cool. How is it going to be taking it down? Once you release the 4 straps does It swing/bobble around a lot on the single mount point of the hoist?

 

Well, I haven't taken it down yet.

I think I can release each strap slowly until it connects and tightens with strap on the hoist. The first photo, we had made some modifications to how we clip the hoist to the straps, so that distance is much less, I hope it will limit any swing that might happen. I'll be sure to let you know when I do this.

I decided it was easier to keep the rack attached to the tent then to remove and lift just the tent.

I hope that I can raise and lower this on the truck by myself, without any help.

 

Man winters the only time here that its bearable to go camping

 

Love it, hope it works out for you!

 

I had a very similar setup in my last garage. it likely will swing around a bit, but if you are careful you can do it without scratching the truck. I ended up running a line from the winch to each corner to keep the swing to a minimum. Just a thought.

 

I wonder if the center console is wired for rear aux power from the factory even if you dont have rear aux power...hmmmm
