What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got it home from the stealership. All the form said was that they performed the 5k Toyota Care service for vehicle with synthetic. guessing that that means no oil change. Fine with me. I walked out without paying anything.

 

I would think they would change it to get the break in additives out? This is mine when I took it in at one year.

 

Went to the Dealership Parts Desk today to pickup a spare Quick charge kit that matches the one that came with the Truck, and a set of Black Wheel Locks and the Pouch to hold the lock and lug nuts for the glovebox. Grabbed some oil and a filter while I was there.

I ordered size 10 and they were to big on my 2021. Had to 3d print adaptors. The red kinda matches the screen colors.

 

notes from the dealership. Nothing like them not putting any detail into it.

 

You have a different radio. A smaller size could have worked, but I like you solution. Wouldn't mind that with Inferno.

 

When I installed the new bumper I realized that I needed to move the front camera to a new location


The problem was that with the current grille I wouldn't be able to fit the camera underneath the radar sensor. So I purchased a grille that would solve that problem..
Problem solved.

 

What grille is that? I really like it.

 

I've seen several tacos with these taillights but not many on the Barcelona Red rig. So I figured I would post these jet black addons for those who might be interested.



They look allot better in person since the camera doesn't provide the correct color exposure when they are on. It's glows a deeper red when they are turned on.

 

Next upgrades will be performance, after my warranty is up… month long detail complete.

 

I did not know that the pouch for the lug nut key even existed. That'll keep the key from rolling around in the glovebox and rattling and banging around. Just ordered one. On a side note, our local Walmart sells the Toyota oem oil filters. Just an fyi.

 

I found it on eBay but Amazon has it as well.

Yeah I’m going to keep the four regular Lugs in the pouch also. Thanks for Filter info. I haven’t checked our W-mart to see if there’re available.
My parts supplier hooks me up with awesome pricing, so I always go there.

Part # for the Lock Pouch is:
PT 276-06999 if anyone is interested.
List price is 3.20 at the Dealership, Net is 1.04.

 

Thanks, I have to say that your grille looks much better than what it looks on the Amazon ad.

 

I added the TRD emblem I found on eBay as well and painted it the same color as my truck to give it a little pizzazz. You will need to use your existing Toyota emblem since it houses the sensors needed to function correctly for cruise control and other safety features.

Added a Blue Seas Fast Charger today. Probably said few 4-lettered sentence enhancers while taking out the cigarette lighter. Beyond that, snipped the original connectors, put on new connectors, and voila! It works.

And saw this last Saturday while out running errands.



Who knew Toyota had TRD model Camry back in that generation?

 

Today I changed out the ugly Grill.
Painted the letters to match.
I know this mod is (played out/ most hated)
But I did not like the old grill at all.
