What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed my ATH Fab HC Rear Bumper tonight! Was a very simple, and easy install!

 

No. I got home and unlocked it with the remote and then nothin

 

You won't regret. Congrats and welcome to the club.

 

The clouds rolled in at just the right time this afternoon for me to give 'er a good wash before it got to dark.

 

AH YEAH! You wont be disappointed!

 

Well I did another Mod today.... Joined the Subaru tweeter club, Wow what an improvement.....

 

Toyota puts junk batteries in 3rd gens. My 2016 went out at 18k miles. They will replace it. I suggest, as I and others did, use it for a core on a good battery. Some go with AGM, I went with a 27F, the larger tray for a 2nd gen and had 1030 ca and 840 cca. No more battery issues. Wifes Ford also went out around 18k miles.

 

You will no longer "need" to use the ECT Power button every time you drive it. I had to stomp it from low gear today to get around a vehicle situation and I got a second gear chirp!

 

Put in AJT design blackout handle covers. Buh bye chrome accents!

 

AVS will send you replacement adhesive. When I installed mine (in 28F weather) I emailed them about my idiot move and that I thought the adhesive would give. The send 4 rolls of 3M, but I kept my windows up for like 2 months. the visors are still going strong.

 

Finally got around to making some covers for my license plate lights. I couldn't justify buying the wiring harness and figured this would be a much easier/cost effective approach.

I made a quick template, imported it into my laser cutter program, and cut these out of thin ABS.


Quick test fit, not perfect but for now it'll work.



Added some adhesive.



Below you can see the glare from the lights without the cover and with. The covers completely block the light from the view of the camera without blocking the light from illuminating the plate.


No cover



Driver side only






Both covers, no glare!

 

Great idea!

 

how much for a pair?

 

I got my sumo struts put in. Whole thing took about thirty mins.
Real straightforward.
Jack up and secure the truck. Remove old bump stop with oil wrench. Apply lock tight and install new.

Makes bumps more muted on and offroad. Not sure if I am going to get the rears.
Real easy install, a little pricy imho, but im satisfied overall.

 

Outstanding Dang good idea. You should sale them

 

I'll have to check with the admin on how selling items like this works. But I don't imagine it would be very much, I'll have to figure out the materials, time, postage, probably like $6 to $8.

 

If it’s under $10 shipped, I’d try a pair.

 

HOLY FUCK DUDE!

Yup, that's my issue.

 

That thing looks mean
