What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Snagged a pair for $10 at Home Depot. Can’t have too many tie downs.

 

I would assume the frame is the same for the 2wd and 4wd. If that is the case, you should be able to bolt up the TRD Pro skid.

 

Yeah. We want to keep it hidden. That hot Colerain beach scene is starting to wind down. The gnats are on the decline, too. Now that all the melon fields have been tilled under. But the fall scene is ramping up with the sweet smell of cotton defoliant in the air and a nice haze of dust from everyone digging peanuts.

 

Seat jackers installed, driver and passenger

 

TRD skid works fine on 3rd gen 2wd. Had it on my 16 Sport rear wheel drive. I suggest you install a Fumoto oil pan drain valve first. Then you won't need to remove the skid for oil changes.

 

And done. That was much easier than the bumper caps. I did use about 75% of a can of Hyperdip. Since it's the front, wanted the dip to be thick. Shadow Black matches the factory plastic really well. We'll see how well it holds up.

 

Wait wait wait.... we can fold the bestop sides in to make half sides???

 

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.
