What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh man, you have no idea how much I needed this. I had been filling up the little patch of velcro material where the console meets the front seat floor on both sides.

 

Mine didn't come with the 400w inverter so I'll have to start from scratch. Gonna start by finding out how much power an inverter draws with no load. If it's excessive I'll probable go with a switch. But it would be nice if it could be always available.

 

Forgot to post. Steering wheel leather wrap.

 

No, apparently that link isn’t. Amazon does have shrink tube that is compatible but the link for the stuff I purchased no longer works.

 

You could probably just pick up the oem inverter from a higher trim package and have no problem with the install. And the oem variant is switched too just to the left of the steering column. The 400w to 100w is parked vs driving but people smarter than I have done the math and found that the 400w draw is fine on the truck even while in drive.

 

This is the stuff I use, works in the standard dymo d1 labeler

just ordered BA highline bumper and a 10k# winch.

 

Sorry for the late reply.
I got them from Amazon through Elmhurst Toyota. Approximately 1200 total with center caps and black PVD lugs.

 

Do you know if the 1/2" will fit over a RJ45 connector? I assume 1/2" is the largest available.

 

I use this version but with a different label maker. They make a larger diameter one at 0.69"

Jumping in here at the very end, so forgive me if this has been addressed, but I know my Brothers label maker will do 1” heatshrink (I forgot the exact designation in mm, it’s close to 1”, so I am rounding here). They also make a 3/4” one.

 

That’s the one! They also make a 23mm(or something like that) if you look around.

I've researched this and the problem is nobody seems to know which is as stupid as it gets. Just got through reading and Amazon review that said 3/4" tubing will not fit over an RJ45 connector without resorting to using a pair of scissors to stretch it open some more and then it's still a PITA to get it over the connector. So I assume that anything smaller will not work. But lots of people say 1/2" tubing will work. Nobody says "You need this size shrink tubing to fit over an RJ connector.

 

I mean, you could just put the shrink on before you terminate the cable.

 

That’s why you’re getting mixed results on “what fits”.

 

Oh man, I always figured that was just the way it was done. No wonder people are having a "hard" time.

 

Finally achieved complete interior dechromization. Color-matching the steering wheel emblem to the rest of the kit was the last part I need to finish up. Wasn't happy with the pnp offerings so I stripped the chrome off of all plastic chrome parts then primed/painted/cleared. Used Duplicolor high heat primer (it's what I had already from doing the brake calipers), Duplicolor Perfect Match Magnetic Gray, and Duplicolor's 1K clear. Went MGM because satin black is too boring. In hindsight, doing everything piano black, super white or bronze to match my TE's could have been clean too.

Sorry for the cell phone pic (the glitter in the MGM doesn't pop with the cell pics), can take a higher res one if anyone wants better detail.

Also threw on the complete interior glass/plastic cover kit from Screen ProTech last week. Installed pretty easily and really cannot tell it's on there which is nice. These cover the gauge cluster, headunit screen and shifter selector.

Lastly I popped on the TRD Radiator cap and az's version of a black license plate, so +25hp easy there.

 

Got lots of cables that are already terminated and lots of patch cables.

I guess nobody has in place wiring that needs to be labeled. I must be weird.

 

And btw, I apologize. I should never have started this subject here as it's not Taco related. Sorry.
