What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Could be/probably wrong but it looks like a TRD Pro with the factory setup. They are one inch higher in front than the off-road.

 

Yeah I dig it black too.

 

Rear seat delete I’ve been working on. Time to work on adding accessories.

 

Thanks Les!

I’m really glad how it turned out, I’m only about 80% done though. Still gotta attach the ladder and tighten a bunch of bolts.

Yes strata living sucks big time but like you said, I had no choice. Prices are disgusting, you are fully aware haha. It’s what I could afford at the time and I’m just glad I’m not renting.

The truck is still under 7 feet so it’s not too bad. I wanted the RTT to be a bit lower but then I would have much less space in the back. My neighbour was super awesome and I owe him big time for helping me. He asked me to help him fix his laminate and I said anytime, I used to do floors for a living. And luckily yeah, nobody said a word. We used to have this cunt in the strata council and she made a lot of our life’s miserable, I even confronted her once, fun times. Since she left it’s pretty good here.

You nailed it on a nice location, campfire, beers and AIC in the background haha. I can’t wait man.

Nobody can see my stickers now though…

 

Wrapped a little strip of matte black vinyl around the chrome shifter ring. Not perfect but good enough for now. Probably good enough that I'll forget about it and never bother upgrading to an actual black ring.

 

Agreed, the black looks great.

 

Swapped out the chrome trim on the grille for black trim. Also added MESO's headlight trim.

 

I think I kinda dig it in black. You gonna make the scoop functional or is it just an aesthetic choice?

 

Need some help…. Anyone do the viper cut with 265/17/70 tires on stock suspension? I’m waiting till I need new tires todo and lift and get 33” but really want todo the viper cut. If anyones has done this on a 3rd gen before bigger tires and lift lmk and post pics if possible. Here’s some pics of my truck. Thanks.

 

Put her on ice.

 

I've nothing to offer, just curious. Are you wanting to viper cut because of current rubbing? Or just in preparation for going bigger?

 

I live in Mass they salt the shit out of everything - I shove my lawn sprinkler under the truck after I get it washed. Also had the frame rust recall done and they pressure wash it before application.

 

After the camper shell was installed yesterday, I added the Prinsu rack to it this morning. Oh, and I fixed their shitty wiring install, because they wired the center stop lamp to the left turn signal post… Morons.

 

Looks kinda cool flat black. Light won't reflect into the cab as bad if you install lights on the rack...

 

Added DD reverse light kit.

 

Diode Dynamics SS3 Max

 

Good choice, you will love them

 

With all due respect, if you knew what you were looking at, you'd see they're a diy version and not a commercially available product.

 

Seatjackers are finally installed. So much more comfortable!

 

Silly things...
I installed some Christmas gifts today. Tuffskins color match interior trim pieces to break up the black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black interior.

Also, put on the ScreenProtech clear screen protectors for the Nav and Instrument cluster. A word if I may...

I don't really like the shitty OEM instrument cluster screen. Who does? It's swept down instead of up so, it's a catch-all/shelf for dirt and shit. Impossible to clean without scratching. In 2 years I've cleaned it twice to avoid scratching it. Failed. Bought the screen protectors. Fucking garbage!!! Got the kit with "extras" for when you fuck up, just in case. Well, the Nav screen protector is flat and easy to get to. Worked and worked, and still got bubbles in it. Looks like ass. I'll likely have to replace it. Went to the instrument cluster and it was, well, a clusterfuck. Working around the steering wheel with my giant-ass hands is bitch! I threw the first one in the parking lot (i picked it up) because I got so fucking mad! Went and got the wife (she has patience) and she worked and worked on the 2nd one, and still got bubbles in it. I only left it on because it's better than shitty OEM plastic.

I hate screen protectors. Truly. I hate them on my phone, too. They are at best, a compromise. I'm NOT saying ScreenProtech makes a bad product, they don't. I'm just saying the concept sucks. It is only, only, only slightly better than scratching my OEM plastic. I had to go inside and drink something afterwards.

Did I say "fuck" enough? Did I? Hmmmmm.....

Oh, I also washed it, cleaned the interior and vacuumed it for the very first time in 2 years!
