What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@Speed Freek made a good point the other day. Airing down skinny, or at least high aspect ratio tires, gives you a greater increase in the contact patch. The second number in the tire spec is probably almost important as the first (i.e. you are not much better with 295/70/17s than with 285/75//17s).

 

My first Mod

 

neither did I but it sucks Toyota went all cheapo on us. My SR A/C only had front speakers. And come to find out we only get 10% power to the rear. Very stupid if you ask me. So I added an amp.

 

Went from:



To this:



And will be installing these after I warmed up my garage…


Don’t worry, I’ll aim them properly.

 

The best way to install fogs is from the top side, with or without removing the grille. Way easier than the fender liner route.

 

Yup, KYB makes quality stuff, and I got both strut mounts for $56.42 shipped, so that's why I bought them. I have used products from KYB before and never had any issues with them, and they supply many auto manufacturers with parts, and the part number for the KYB strut mounts is SM 5640.

 

Do you have a link to that cap holder? I like that design. I'm always concerned that when I get gas in Oregon they're going to damage the fuel door jamming the cap into my gasshole.

Also, you're going to love those fogs.

 

because it doesn't have both

Goodbye Morimoto, hello OEM. Also the MESO headlight trim pieces make a big difference much better look than the stock black imho...



3rd time ripping apart front end I can now do it with my eyes closed…and much easier when you’ve already broken off a few clips lol…

I now have a pair of lightly used Morimotos XB V2 headlights to get rid of. Thinking of using them to trade with someone who has something worth at least $750 to trade/barter. If you're interested hit me up.

 

I think the electronic manufacturer’s have cut a deal with Toyota…..

 

and a great mod as well. thank you for your service. I was Command Post and retired at 23 years and as my wife likes to tack on, "and 29 days "

 

Good point! You would think that especially with the cost of the off-road or pro it would be sufficient in the sound system department!

 

So glad I went straight to OEM LED. So happy every time I drive in the dark coz I can see better. And I’m about to install DD SS3 Pro…just waiting for the garage to warm while I’m having some Koffee and Beer.

 

Yeah I can't wait to see how much of an improvement night driving will be compared to the Morimotos. Did you have to tweak the headlamps in any way after installation, or were they pretty spot on as is?

 

Yes gonna do disc when I go LT
