What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah but I'm lazy and it's much cooler to just drive up and the garage door opens up automatically when it notices my truck is coming with the tailwind garage system.

 

If your truck has the auto dim feature in the mirror then it's already prewired for home link. Just pick one up off of eBay for like $60 bucks and it's plug and play.

 

Really!? I wonder if it will work on my 1000 year old opener.

 

Hey how have your shackles held up? Are they worth the price? With those and the isolators its like 130 but I figure better then buying $65 ones twice

 

It’s more than enough for me. My last few rides had the premium audio (Bose, Harmon, etc.) and this is on par if not just a little better. Either way it’s miles above the stock system and I probably won’t use but 50% of it.

 

I think mine is just a dumb mirror. No electronics at all. Well, itg does have the little flipper you use when the asshole behind you has his high beams on.

 

Could also hook your reverse lights to a separate switch to handle the same asshole.

 

Yes, it will get dusty but now you can wipe off the dust and not leave 37 pinstripes across the face of the display.

 

there actually were a couple scratches on them but mostly unblemished. Surprised they didn’t use a removable plastic sheet over them to protect for packaging and shipping. Overall happy though. Easy install. I used nail polish remover to get rid of the avs logo

 

I still need to install the molle on my tacoma but in the mean time got them installed on a ZR2, also had to fly out to catch the awesome sunset between installs.

 

Sick!!! Send us pictures when you get it done!

 

Thats amazing

 

I designed and machined up my own 1 1/4" front seat risers out of 6061 T-6 aluminum and painted them with sating black epoxy paint. I bought (4) factory seat bolts which cost me $12.87 from the dealer. I made one set at first for the drivers side to see how I would like it, and being such a big change from the stock seat height and angle, initially I wasn't quite sure if I liked them, but after about the six-time of driving the truck I was sold on it, so then I machined up another pair for the passenger seat.

 

Nice work! When you can machine your own parts life is good…..

 

Thanks, and it saved me $200 as opposed to buying them.

 

is the bottom of the block contoured? Could you just get some 1 1/4" square tubing and drill a hole for the bolt with the same affect?

 

You run the risk of the tube collapsing and snapping the bolt, especially in a wreck. Would have to make sure it's pretty thick-walled tubing.

 

There’s not supposed to be that many bees oustside the box. This is my moms thing, and I helped her move some hives. Both times I’ve helped her the situation got sketchy. What I’ve learned is what I’ve known. Lack of preparation is commitment to failure.

 

No, the bottom and top of the mounts are parallel, and the blocks are 1 1/4" high x 1 1/2" wide x 1 7/8" long, and they needed to be 1 1/2" wide for them to look right. With them bolted to the body, the angle of the seat track lays perfectly flat against the top of the blocks.

I made them this way because I could see going into all of the extra work to make them look like the Seat Jackers, as after looking at those locating pins on the seat rails that have a white plastic cover on them, and that fit into a hole on the floor, all they are is locating pins used for quickly locating the seats on the assembly line, so I just hacksawed the pins off. You can see a little teardrop area in the carpet at the back of the risers, so to cover that area up so you couldn't see the white body paint, I cut the bottom out of one of those black plastic trays that frozen food comes in, and slid them up underneath the carpet.

 

Nice setup, very clean look
