What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I plan on doing the same thing. How did you mount the BCDC and wire it with the Blue-Sea? Did you wire the in-cab switch?

 

yes I did mount the in cab switch, the bcdc is wired after the blue sea, comes off of left stud of blue sea to a 40amp fuse to the red of bcdc then brown to another 40amp fuse to the positive of aux battery. So positive circuit goes from main battery to blue sea out blue sea to redarc red, redarc brown to aux battery. There is a diagram somewhere which shows bcdc wired through isolator to enable emergency jump by connecting aux and main in a moment of need.

 

The bcdc is mounted using the universal bracket from redarc which I connected to the kit from off-road engineering.

 

Does the color/finish match the bottom part of the mirrors? The part you linked says "black color to match"

 

I meant off grid engineering

happy to help

 

Removed a bunch of stuff like the toolbox, bed mat, mud flaps, nerf bars, floor liners, and Diode Dynamics fog lights before it went to the junk yard.

 

Found another one yet?

 

Too bad about the skid plate.

 

You are welcome!

 

It does not. That's what I was hoping for. I'm going back and forth with the seller over some textured ones. Maybe those are matte. Worst case I can just paint them/plasti-dip them and not mess up my OEM ones, ha.

It's a glossy black not matte.

 

Yes, there are gloss black overlays from Toyota and probably aftermarket as well. So, no need to remove the chrome ones.

 

Easy peasy.

No OR DCLB for miles around. My dealer found one scheduled to be built on Saturday but it was too late to add any packages. So a new one has been ordered, which could mean 3-12 months before delivery.

 

Here is what Matte black would look like. I just painted these and they still looked good after 2yrs when I painted Mgm.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I think they look good like that, but if you want a bit less shine, have you considered matte black vinyl wrap?
