What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Meh, these are not factory. These are Moog problem solvers which are used in the Dirt King Lowers. They were installed right around a year and a half ago. To be fair, they had some life left. I changed them out in preparation of the Moab trip. Did not want to have one go out on me in the middle of nowhere and they would be seeing rocks. Also, I do drive a good amount, 2500 to 3000 miles a month average. I have no complaints with how long they lasted.

 

Here is how I installed my radio and my antenna mount.

I had the front struts w/coil overs replaced with Toyota bilsteins. Also had an alignment because the steering wheel was pulling left

 

well first I had to buy a front rail because my truck did not come with one. The boards came with 4 bolts (basically just all thread) knobs and some nuts and washers. I bought some T-nuts for the rail and then just screwed them in. Although the bolts are metric and the T-nuts are not so this was just basically a mock up because they don't really screw in. I already have 3/8" -16 all thread to replace it. I might just fabricate something with a channel strut or something to make it more stable.

 

NICE!! I have like 10 of those just collecting dust lol

 

where did you get these? Need to get some for my daughter.

Find some carriage bolts that will fit the supplied knobs. File down two opposing edges on the carriage bolt head (just enough to allow it to fit in the rail). Slide the carriage bolts in position on the rail and add a washer & nut to keep them in place. Mount your equipment (maxtrax, hi-lift, etc.) on the protruding bolts and then add the washers & knobs. Note that some items may require a spacer on the bolt(s).

 

Mine has held through 4 GA summers. Not the same as AZ, I know. But still a good hot sun and a good hot engine.

Also: on the driver's-side, very close to the hood-hinge end, is a ready made hole that was perfect for my plunger switch. Lights come on and go off with the hood.
Worse part of the whole install was feeding the wire through the hood support structures. But even that didn't take too long.

(I looked for a photo, but no joy. Truck is in GA now and I'm not, so I can't get a photo until next week. But you'll see the hole and know which one I'm talking about.)

 

which light at was that to cause such an issue?

 

Nice! Do you know if this bolts to the TRD exhaust seamlessly or does it require modification?

 

What is on top of the prinsu? I have never seen two deflectors before unless that is a new add on.

 

Link below! I went with graphite.

TRD exhaust is just a catback just like this one, should bolt up the same

That's a second wind fairing I made to help since I have a case up there.

 

Put vinyl over my vanity mirror stickers. There was something about airbags and kids… I forget, airbags are prolly safe for kids. Also, Screen protech film over my instrument panel before I scratch it up

 

I have jbl and it sounds great you have and eq and way more controls of sound, its really loud at half the volume I feel like they will blow up
the speakers, sub and amp is the next step, you can email the guy or join the FB group and he will answer any questions you have

 

Nice, thank you!

 

Gobbled down a Big Mac while flying down I-95. Lettuce and special sauce all over the place. Gotta go clean it up.

 

Thank you very much for the info.
