What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My wife had troubles getting the step to deploy. (small gal) We ended up with a "push it out while standing near the rear wheel " technique.

It works very well for her......me too, no dirty shoes ;-)

 

Wired up the CH4x4 button and @MESO custom panel for a nice clean stock look.

 

So far Bed Cover (Proven Ground), Raptor Taillights (Cali Rasied LED), Bed Molle (BA4x4), Center Console Molle (Cali Rasied LED), and Trailer Hitch Step (BA4x4)

 

what’s the security button do?

 

It's not a button, it's a glass break sensor

 

I bet it's a anti theft ejection seat!!!

 

It’s a microphone for a glass breakage sensor

 

My first thought was that it turns on an accent light that highlights the MATD.

 

So what happens when the glass breaks?

 

I’d guess the alarm goes off.

 

A flamethrower mounted under the rocker panels shoots flames out the sides I think?

 

It will set off the car alarm. If you don't have a glass break sensor, or for a convertible a field disturbance sensor, the most common way people break into cars are to use the ceramic from a spark plug to break the window, or just smash it. As long as they don't open the door to trigger the door sensor, your car alarm won't go off. With a glass break sensor it listens for the frequency or shock waves of glass breaking and will trigger your car alarm.

 

Bummer. I was hoping tear gas or something..

 

as per google search

Glass Breakage Sensor
The GBS relies on a highly sensitive microphone designed to detect the specific frequencies of glass being struck or broken. When detected, it activates the anti-theft system, sounds the alarm (vehicle horn), and activates the engine immobilizer.

Release Poisonous Snakes or Honey Badger attack would be better imo. Or perhaps recreate the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark

 

Those are from back in my day. My first was a 1991 black MT 4 cyl, no power steering or power brakes. Dealer had put a body lift on it and chrome wheels and oversized tires.. It went from KY to Colorado with me. Last year made with the carb I believe. Lost so much power without a high altitude kit but it chugged right along. I loved that truck.

 

Best idea EVER! Now where did I leave that new bottle of propane???

 

After two Toyota Celicas I rode in someone else's Toyota Truck. After that it was all over.
My first... a 1991 AC with the V6. It was pretty sweet at the time.
Scanned picture...

 

Radar is almost useless these days because BSM on a lot of cars use radar so you’ll get false positives all the time. A friend in LE told me that laser takes 1-2 seconds to register so if you get on the brakes right away you might be safe. I haven’t run one in quite a few years because of BSM though. And I don’t really speed anymore either really

 

Oh man, so awesome. Miss my 92.

 

Started in the overhead and pulled the wire out of the headliner by the go pro mount with a small guide wire Routed across to passenger A Pilar and used a trim tool to tuck the wire up most of the way. Then tugged back on the either end (overhead & a Pilar) to “floss” it all the way up. Ran down passenger a Pilar, behind glovebox and radio to the control box. Had to remove the radio and trim pieces on right of glovebox & a pilar. Going across the whole dash to the passenger side was tedious but I opted for that to use up more of the 13’ extension rather than trying to coil a big bundle somewhere
