What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

As I live in the rust belt i Did the wool wax undercarriage treatment... used 11 spray cans but would definitely recommend using a air compressor as the cans are somewhat inconvenient and inconsistent spray patterns also its cheaper using a gallon or two over the cans... though it doesn't smell as bad as fluid film it does still smell.

 

I put on the hard tonneau cover

 

What is it that you are checking? What is this?

Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. It's a JLT Catch Can.

pass-thru catch can (oil) I presume. Not familiar enough with this engine, but ran one on my LC for the PCV line. or sorts.

 

Yeah, I had one on a CTS-V with an LS-6. I just didn't realize until now that guys were running them on Tacoma's.

 

There are several threads about them here. It's where I got the idea.

 

That load looks a bit long for a long bed anyway.

 

Those Rav 4 knobs are a perfect replacement fit, right?

 

Replaced rear shoes and drums. Installed ss brake lines up front and flushed the brake fluid.

 

Longbed is still bestbed, I blame the chase rack (which seems like a fair tradeoff tbh, love the look) and cargo box.

 

Needed a lil more MESO in my life. V2 dome light and overhead rack. Rack was a serious puta to get on but looks sweet.

 

This has been my setup for a couple of years now. The cheaper undercoating gun I went with isn't all that precise, but it certainly does the job better and quicker than cans. I run it at about 90psi and as long as I keep the fluid film warm-ish or agitated to keep the viscosity down it sprays well. The Home Depot spray bottles I linked to make a decent hopper.

Here are some other angles.

 

Well, I wouldn't say direct replacement - *HOWEVER* there are a lot of Rav 4 parts (like my blacked out LED foglights are Rav 4 parts).
The knobs are slightly larger at the base - but they fit - and work fine. I was playing around with them last night - didn't notice any problems at all.
So I'm going to say - yeah they fit and it comes from Toyota.

 

What did I do to our truck? Got it stuck in a bottomless peat bog while cruising around Finland


After 30 seconds of both locker engaged...


Luckily the winch pulled us out

Onto Estonia!

 

Ordered clazzio covers on Sunday and arrived today, after a one day shipping delay. Got to work and did all headrests and back seat. Need to go to work, so I’ll have to do the fronts another day. Not a bad job so far, even with only one “usable” thumb due to a nasty injury. I did remove the plastic covers on the backrest to put the cover under them.

 

I won't be doing the spray can thing again .....Would a pancake compressor be enough for application?? Whats the purpose of a hopper??

 

Did you have to splice the mirror signal wires into the sequential turn signal wires?

 

SnugTop installed today.

Wait wasn't too bad. Originally told to expect 8-16 weeks and got the call for install about six weeks after ordering.

Got the Rebel w/ Sportsman package (reinforced roof for an additional ~300lbs of payload capacity... total ~500lb capacity), roof rails, sliding windoors, and fold down front window.

Only regret is not asking about the remote keyfob lock when I ordered it... not sure if something I can upgrade after-the-fact or not.
