What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cool, thanks for the info!

 

New to me steering wheel with AJT drop ins installed. The hood scope got an upgrade.

 

Where did you get the hood decal from? I like the look of that

 

Took apart my front suspension today and adjusted out the Taco lean and cleaned my TRD Skid. The R4T LCA skids are already starting to rust. It's been on my truck for only a few months.
I'll probably remove them and repaint them when I take apart the rear suspension to swap out the AAL to the Icon 3 leafs.

 

That sucks about the R4T LCA Skids. I really want some. They are sold out, no list, no notifications. I wonder if clear coating with rust prevention would help before installing, assuming they ever get some.

 

I picked it up from GP Walsh Design, here --https://www.gpwalshdesigns.com

The hood decal comes with the topo for the actual scoop, I just ruined it when I was installing it so I ended up painting the scoop Olive Drab. I also picked up the color matching topo for the rear window. That install took all my patience making sure the lines stayed on the glass and I still need to go back today to trim some edge pieces. Here are two pics from last night with my spare removed out of the bed.

 

going to check it out now thanks man, awesome build by the way!

 

I don't think they are powder-coating these LCA skids. Seems like a very light coat of paint. I'll probably paint them with rustoleum, later.
But yeah, they need to focus more on quality, especially on the products that carry their Logo.

 

Any idea which ones actually sound better? I put the Subaru ones in my last truck and noticed absolutely zero difference in sound over the stock(non-jbl) tweeters. Maybe the ones you linked would make a noticeable improvement?

 

As I like to say, when there is a redneck will, there is a redneck way.

Though in your case, probably more of a necessity given your circumstances

 

what’s the part number on this?

 

I had the same problem, ended up jamming it in and denting the door panel mesh. Probably not the best decision but it’s not super noticeable

 

It's not an OEM Toyota part. They are sold by KTJO 4X4...but make sure you read through this before you opt to buy. Many of us have them and are satisfied...but most had issues with fit and finish. The ones being sold now are discounted and may have (even more) defects.

got it, appreciate the heads up on the potential issues. Really annoying they don’t come with the handle from the factory

 

Someone on here would probably start selling a "handle delete kit'' if they came that way from the factory!

 

That gave me a good chuckle

 

I know I already replied to this one but I was looking at it again and had another thought. 3/4 in plywood doesn't like being a floor, especially when the substructure is about 18in OC (just a guess). I suspect that it may start to sag long before the drawers are ready to give up the ghost. I would consider either adding steel to reinforce it, or glue and screw another layer on top to make it 1.5in thick. I think that would be more likely to live up to a decade of abuse.

 

Was able to get this bad boy installed yesterday.
Thanks @BruteForceFab
