What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I second this notion. Wholly crap! Amazing. I wish I could make my neighbors that jealous. I need to see more of this desert rat.

 

Popped these chonky bois on today. Such a minor change for the $$ spent(much like the Mountain Hatch), but the improvement in functionality made both worthwhile to me. The OEM radio knobs were a bit ‘delicate’ for a truck and as most of us know, sat too close to the radio face, causing hands to press screen functions unintentionally.

If I’m honest though, I do wish the AJT knobs were a bit chonkier in diameter. They have the right look but they’re still a bit small. They also don’t seem to seat in as far as they should.

 

Great idea, I'll take one.

 

Shoot me a PM, can come up with something

 

there is a company we deal with where I work called "zebra environmental" and they have tanker trucks and pick-ups that are zebra striped. I think its ugly as shit. But I also think its trashy when women wear animal print. To each their own lol.

 

these are pretty slick. I went and looked and the tilted one they offer is pretty cool too. Gives the truck a different look. I want one but I'm not ready to cut anything on my truck just yet.

 

what offset are your wheels?

 

I've been waiting for a quote for the sides done. I just want flat black and gray. I figure vinyl is ok to scratch rather than my paint

 

Red. Have a few red accents they should go with.

 

For the bed lights.

 

New set

 

Yes, this has that as well. The place I used had "lower" options that didn't include the self-healing, but I figured it was work the extra coin. I've been looking, and I dont see any micro scratches, or anything, so I guess it works.

 

Nice to see American Racing here! I know they may not be as popular but I had those rims on my 2005 Access Cab and they served me really well. I've always thought that for style, quality and price point, they were a really good product.

 

I finally got around to buying the Kicker tweeters. Easy install and nice improvement. I knew the highs were flat/muted, but now I know what I was missing. The stockers really are cheap crap. C'mon yota!

 

It seems Toyota decided the easy way to build up a mod-centric community around its vehicles was to build in several design flaws and use the minimum-viable equipment in other areas, but make replacing the crap fairly easy.

 

And, they are very light.

 

Talk to @Puppypunter ...he sells an adapter that works with the tail lights. VERY easy

 

Looking at AR's website it doesn't look like that wheel comes in 16".

EDIT: weird. The manufacturer doesn't list a 16in wheel, but Tirerack does. About the same weight as my OEM wheels, so not too bad.

 

Well, 5 in 16 by 8 are coming next week. If the guy at DT fucked up, its on him.

 

OK Here is what I am using to put the 3rd Brake Light on the Soft top. The 10 ft wire with pull apart ends and caps will be cut to hook to the Tap located behind the back of the Brake Light on the Truck Bed and Led Light. 10 ft is plenty of wire to do this with, I will cover all exposed wire with the Black Loom. Just a short Pig Tail will show when the Top is off or folded up. Easy pull apart Junction to do this. Hoping the Cable Clamps will stick good to the material? If not I will put a little Shoe Goo under them to keep them in place to hold the wire inside the Loom going up to the LED 3rd Brake Light. The wiring inside the Loom will follow the top edge of the Softopper and down the corner to where the Pig Tail sticks out from the Tap. Attaching the LED is still up in the air till I see the Top on the truck and how it can be done the best way. Could be a ABS piece clamped to the bar inside or attached to the Material. Still waiting for the top might be a few more days it took another way to get here again?? I give up on that it will be here one day. My parts will be here probley at the same time I get the top. I ordered all this last night and there in the mail now. Here are pictures of what I bought and used.
