What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can I ask what you used to cut the tiles? I've got a jigsaw and dewalt miter saw. I was thinking of using the miter saw with a 60t or 80t blade.

 

Yes exactly. My painted Sport bumpers seem so vulnerable to damage. Maybe once the warranty is over I may look to installing a steel bumper.

The more I look at that steel bumper the more I like it. It’s a good looking match to OEM. Especially the electrical 4 & 7pin location and the placement near the lower tail lights.

 

nice...looking at something like that to survive/pulverize texting/streaming drivers at intersections...

 

I’ve been looking into the mini2 AS the rear (err canopy) cam. Should of picked it on bf but that passed

 

I've used both a table saw and a 18" floor cutting tool. Both work great. The table saw with a fine tool blade cuts the tiles like butter, but leaves a lot of shavings afterwards. The floor cutting tool also works great, if you know someone who has one. I haven't seen anyone who rents them and they are like $400 to buy (Roberts 18" Floor Cutting Tool) - I just happened to know a guy who had one when I did my first garage. The other two garages I have completed were with a table saw. The tiles are 15 3/4". I'm not sure a miter saw will work without having to flip the tile. The jigsaw will be good for random corners or non straight cuts, but I wouldn't count on that as my only saw for the job.

 

its all plug in play if you have the bed light switch on your left dash already.

 

Kong Fu…. What else??

 

Jousting against the full moon with the fog lights.

 

What fog lights are those?

 

I got a Pedal Commander for my 2019 TRD OR. Does that count?

Definitely get an attorney regardless if they have the same insurance as yours. A few years back I was involved in a wreck and the lady who t-boned me had the same insurance (Allstate) as I did and I thought they would handle it with no issues. Boy, was I wrong. After everything was settled and had my car totaled and replaced I thought that was the end of it. Nope, I received multiple bills from the hospital, ambulance company, and physical therapist that her insurance didn't fully cover. This was a year and a half later after the accident! Had I retain an attorney all of this would have been avoided.

 

Mark, that looks great. Any pics of where you tapped into? I'm gonna give this a shot whenever my truck and softopper show up.

 

Just put in a Baja Designs Squadron SAE Amber FPK Pair LED Fog Light Kit. I had Morimoto fogs before, I think these are better - more adjustment possible.

 

Almost forgot. Today I put in the Cali Raised Bed LEDs. They are bright as hell. Also put on the only additional words that I'll be putting on my truck, a pair of MGPS tag frames. Little by little, it's coming together.

 

Truck was swiped while parked at work today. I thought I had parked far enough away, guess not. Guy was straight up about it and found me right away to tell me. It’s more trouble than it’s worth to get it fixed due to my schedule for the next month. I’m thinking now I have a reason to cut the fenders back for larger tires!!

 

That sucks dude. It looks like it's just the fender flair that got scuffed, so it probably wouldn't be too hard or expensive to get a replacement, have it paint matched, and swap them out when you get an hour and a couple beers.

 

Just ordered the MGPS tag frame for the brother-in-law as a birthday gift. He recently purchased a new subie manual.

 

Haha, nice! In general I don't like adding words or bumper stickers to things, especially vehicles. I even ripped the TRD tri-color emblem off the grille the previous owner installed because that isn't how I roll. Also ripped out the raptor-style lights for the same reason. I don't knock others for doing it, just not my style. But... MGPS I can show support for because the choose-your-own-adventure transmission makes this truck so much more fun to drive. I don't think I would be enjoying this thing as much as I am after the untimely demise of my cherished Mazda3 (also 6-speed) if it didn't have a manual. It also helps that I now have the Mazda3 shift knob installed instead of that crap Toyota decided to ship with it.
