What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is a pic of the two RAV4 knobs I got for my truck - one with the center piece removed and the other still in. The piece removes easily just by pulling on it.

 

I've only disconnected the battery twice, once when I did the Subaru tweeter upgrade and again when I upgraded the turn signal / light switch stalk in the steering column. Both times because I working around the air bags. I've done other electrical upgrades like all interior lights to LED's and tailgate power lock upgrade and didn't disconnect the battery. But you are right, better safe than sorry. Those ECU's are expensive.

 

Not to exciting, but installed my
VINTAGE HUTCHINS AH-OOO-GA FORD MODEL T A V8 AHOOGA OOGA HORN.
And installed a third led strip under the rear of the truck, they come on with the dome light so it lights up when you walk up to the truck if you have the keys.

 

I can hear it now. I love those horns and t buckets!

 

At least that Tacoma owner didn’t crash!

Lots of puckering no doubt.

 

Got some raptor lights installed, compliments of @El Cucuy

Thanks brother!

 

Ok so this meso/ajt ring is literally a pain in the ass. There isn’t as much tension between lo-4hi but it doesn’t seem to be throwing any codes anymore. Was everyone else’s 4x4 switch loose between lo-4hi?

 

I think your button in the center needs to be flipped 180?

 

It sounds like you need to take it apart and put it back together. I had mine apart (aj and meso) and it lined up funny but the center button needed to be rotated 180. And it sorta snapped or clicked together.

 

Same. I've done all interior lights, tail lights, head and fog lights mirror turn signals, without disconnecting the battery. I feel lucky. Next I'm going to go by a lotto ticket.
Its best to take the 2 minutes and disconnect the negative. I've heard the horror stories too.

 

You mean the button with the line on it? Or the one holding the screw

 

Yeah it’s a pain. Are you referring to the notch button or the black piece that holds the screw

 

The screw. I had placed it in the other way it through the 4l light and a code but I was like ugh this can’t happen and took it apart. I had it backwards it’s hard to see where the contacts line up, but it behaves like a switch when you put it back together right.

 

I'm OK, I've got four wheel drive!

 

Thats he funniest thing I read in days.

 

Those little connector arms are easy to tweak. Most youtubers don’t even mention it. I think the 4 little arms is what causes a light to show up. Makes me very nervous fiddling with it since I broke the last one

 

Changed my Transfer Case oil with Redline MT-LV 70W75. https://www.redlineoil.com/mt-lv-70w75w

 

I got the cement ones. I ordered them October 28th and they shipped a couple days ago. I should be getting them any day now.

 

Great! Those are the ones I’m considering. Looking forward to seeing them. Rendering photos never do it justice
