What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks Otto, I just put the TRD Pro Grille on, I think I will take it off and see what it looks like!

 

Is that a current sale or was that a clearance end cap?

 

Handy little trick I figured out. Just unzip the panel halfway, pull the bottom out halfway and fold it back inside between the panel and frame. Doesn't seem to put any undue stress on seams or anything.

 

Reminds me of my youth. Miss the smell of stringing and hanging tobacco in Colerain. Then off to the big city of Ahoskie for the tobacco auction. Back in those days Colerain Beach was the happening place. The once great Chowan River. The Herring capital of the world and fish roe was 39 cents a can. Now it's so rare it is $10 a can. Had 2 cans for breakfast 2 weeks ago. Is Tuscarora Shores Beach still there or did the steel mill kill it.

 

Finished installing my clazzio covers today. If I would’ve known my hand would be so sore after yesterday’s install of the rear and headrests, I would’ve done it all in one shot. Well worth it though.

 

Those look really nice.

 

Agreed, every Clazzio post looks spectacular.

If I wasn't so lazy/cheap I'd pick up a set myself.

 

I found the parts on eBay. The installation was ok… just use M6 rivnuts from the get go for the mounting holes. I tried to epoxy mine in before realizing I needed the rivnut tool.

 

Do these go on over the OEM's or do you remove the OEM's?

 

They just go over the original seat covers.

 

Got some Meso V5 turn signals.

 

Thanks.

 

I installed them on 2 of my trucks within 3 weeks. Real fun with arthritis in my fingers. As you said well worth it.

 

Covering up those stupid warning labels on the visors with matte black vinyl. Looks okay I guess...better than the labels anyway. We'll see how they hold up. I'll probably throw a sticker or decal on top once I find something I like.



And a little wash/wax....just in time for the PNW fall/winter.

 

With the "Pro" OEM or knockoff you don't need to remove the skid plate. As I can see you got one, all you need to do is unscrew the access door...I wouldn't trust a valve or anything instead of a plug that takes no time at all to remove. In fact I replaced my OEM engine oil pan plug with a magnetic plug from Gold Plug AP 03 for the v6.

I had the fumoto valve for years. There is no "door" for the drain plug. The only door is for the filter housing. There is a small opening for draining but the valve is simple and very secure.

 

Damn. this is out of stock... so I ordered this one:

but it's too long and doesn't sit flush.

 

I was never much of a roe guy, but I do love a good mess of pickled herring. Tuscarora Beach is still there. Did a lot of skiing in that area growing up. I haven't been that far north in the river for several years, though. I don't go much farther than Cannons Ferry/Holiday Island these days.

 

Hulk with tacos for the army green taco.

 

Installed the RCI skid plate I got during the Labor Day sale.
