What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice, here is the start of my BMW K1200RS motor swap.

 

Flushed my power steering fluid with synthetic ATF Valvoline MaxLife.

 

do you have to have headlights on to back up?

 

Boss wax this week.
Picking it up on Monday!!

 

lol, he was talking about Tag lights, not headlights

 

turning off headlights turns off lic plate light

 

Completely agree but this was under ToyotaCare complementary service. I was there so I asked about the bed lights. Was shocked, but they're wrong about mine needing a relay switch.

 

Green Taco battle mode - ENGAGE!

 

OEM Bed Pad and @TMCmakes Wheel Deal mtb wheel mounts installed today. Both are clean but these wheel mounts are super rad. Fit and finish are fantastic. Finally have a secure place to put the front wheels when I take the bikes out now!

Took it to the dealership for its first service. It didn't need it since I've only got 1,800 miles on it but it was free so

 

True, but there are better methods. Now I see where you're going with that. I'd rather not have to turn off my headlights. Now I don't turn my headlights off at all.

 

I see they haven't improved the stock infotainment system in the newer model.

 

Joined the tall skinny crew today with some 255/80r17’s. Here’s a bad pic with a dirty truck

 

Hmm, I didn't even know that was a thing. Wait, is that a Google rabbit hoooooooole!?

 

My grandpa had one of these i always liked the look of it. He beat that truck to pieces in the woods. The only thing left was rust.

 

Loved those trucks but they had an issue….they melted in the rain. Especially in salt prone areas.

 

Worked on a third brake light on my Softopper. Used a thin lightweight brake light made for custom motorcycles. With 60 LEDs, that thing is BRIGHT! The pics don’t do it justice. I still need to clean up the wires in the back and wrap everything up.

 

That's big brain.

 

Welp pulled the trigger and moving to Alaska finally. Anyone know of a good block heater and trailerbrake? going to drive it with my trailer.

 

Swapped the ditch lights from yellow to white & put the OEM bed mat in. Not much going on today. Relaxing. Waiting on my TRD letters before I install the skid plate but getting anxious. I also have TRD blackout vinyls for the amber reflectors that I've been waiting to install until it's dry and warm. Not sure how I feel about those, but they were cheap so I'll check it out. I've seen some that look terrible and some that look okay. Guess it depends on the angle you look at them?
