What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There are some other threads on this issue. If you open the inside handle further than normal it should open. Then you can fix the cables.

 

Wanna do mine next??

 

I tried that. My gawd it wouldn't give or go much farther

 

Not what I did, but what I found. Opened up an old Christmas popcorn tin recently that had bunch of old Matchbox types cars and trucks from my younger days. And in there was an old yellow Toyota 4x4 in there.

Good memories.

I have the same one, thing did absolutely nothing to get my truck started a few days ago... it was -5 degrees out and the truck had been sitting at the airport for a week. I hooked it up, pushed start and all I got was beep beep beep followed by no lights on the bank.

 

I'm new to TW, but putting the finishing touches on my bed drawer/sleeping platform today. Just need to add some paint, and handles to the drawers and front hatches (hatches to access the area in front of wheel wells). I could have spent some more time on the cuts, but was after function over form.

 

I added the Matt Gecko bed light kit. Ran from battery to a dedicated switch to the left of the steering wheel. Dome light and key not needed. I do have mine wired so it lights up with the dash lights on and the brightness is adjustable with the dash light adjustment. Some people add a switch to the inside of the bed somewhere near the tailgate. Very happy with mine.

Side Note. Like your profile pic. I actually know Bill Murray. He gave me a bottle of champagne back in 2012 and told me and my wife to have a happy new year. Still have the bottle and made a candle out of it. Great guy in person.

 

The repair is still holding up, but I replaced the inner fender splash guards with proper fitting ones sized for 3rd gens, Gear Tech Protec P/N 3GSG

 

I am not trying to start a new forum for a simple question.... do I need an alignment on my OR when I switched over to 275/70/17? I am waiting for my lift to arrive in a few more weeks and do not want to blow out my tires

 

Changing wheels and/or tires doesn't disturb the alignment. If your alignment was OK to begin with, then you don't need another one after changing tires. If your alignment was bad before, it will continue to be bad and cause accelerated wear on your new tires.

 

Hand wash and wax to get yesterdays sand out.

 

nice! i'm super happy with them. turned out out awesome. all i can say is be patient with the front bolts that you have to reach into the frame. it was not fun

 

Thanks for the forum links @dilbert. I will get at these ideas asap

 

The Gear Tech Protec splash guards have a bit more coverage than OEM, particularly around the shock tower. They keep a bit more junk out of the engine compartment, that's about it.

If you have free time and want to save some money, get bulk rubber sheets and a leather punch, and make your own.

 

Added sidecars to the center console. They come in pilot and co-pilot orientation.

One of the videos in the review section on Amazon shows them being easily flipped off. I cleaned the surface before hand with an alcohol wipe and heated the adhesive tape as recommended and they're stuck pretty tight.

 

Great switchs

 

Thanks You Sir

 

I made my hood scoop functional…. Scoop light!

 

Just took it for a drive. Just wanted to see how it does now that it's gotten cold out. Happily no issues other than a clunking sound slowing down, but I'm pretty sure it's my gear box hitting the cargo bar I put in.
