What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The headlights are just stock H9 bulbs (high beam bulbs) that I put in the low beam sockets. Philips H9's. The fogs are Yellow Hella H11 Optilux bulbs. For info on swapping in H9 bulbs in place of the H11 low beams, see this thread.

What size hose?

I did something similar. I just ordered a set of the cheap seat jackers from AliExpress for the passenger side. I already have a set on the drivers side from Desertdoesit. I wouldn't have put a set on the passenger side at $99 but will at $27 (with $2 coupon).

 

Helped my parents move all their stuff yesterday, they drive up to MN every year in their motorhome, well this year they sold the motorhome (for a great price too) and had to remove all their stuff. They are driving their jeep back to FL, so they were very limited on what they could bring home with.

I ended up getting a ton of cool stuff, one of which was the recovery kit I built for my dads jeep about 5 years ago. He never used it, but always kept it in his jeep, he is selling his jeep when he gets back to FL and buying a BMW x5, so he wont need it anymore. But I also got a small camp grill that I can keep in the back of the truck that I am super excited about.

 

11$ bulbs look that good?! Wow. Gonna order them now.
Can i use them as high beam also?

 

3/8

 

Thanks

I ordered a whole roll of hose when I installed my catch can. Just went and checked, it's 3/8. Gonna do this mod in the am.

 

If you have a gen 3 they are already in the high beam slots. The Philips German made H9's are Toyota OEM for the high beams. Not sure about gen 2's. Look at the mega thread about these. You have to clip a small plastic tab to get them to work in the low beam outlets.

Chemical Guys Jet Seal layered on top of Optimum Opti-Seal. I need to find something for my tires, but this was just a pair of coats of 303. I'm toying with picking up some AmmoNYC Mud.

 

Super clean. Nice.

 

Headlight plate. Today.

 

Did my oil change, lube today in my garage. Love how i dont need to lift my truck up to do the oil change lol. Headed to NY tomorrow early am so had to make sure im all good with mechanically. still need to fill my tires up a bit though, besides that im all set

 

Is that a MESO trim plate or another manufacturer?

 

Very sharp truck!

 

Meso. Plate.

 

Headlight plates super easy took probably 10-15 mins. Changed the rear end oil also.

 

Washed and waxed the best I could, considering I did it in a parking lot.

 

Looks a LOT better. But it depends on your color scheme of your truck TBH.

*IF* your truck color scheme *IS* RED and BLACK... then it works of course. I totally agree with your mod though - it *works* great, and looks awesome as well.

I've been on the red/black color scheme for a year, but I absolutely *HATE* those stickers.


Which is why I went with the TRD Off Road Badge instead (Amazon knock-off) but hey - it was red/black, so it worked for me.

 

That's a lot of red! Not something I think I would do, but I like it. Sharp truck tho!

 

Looks good man
I like the blacked out badges
