What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yep, those panels and any interior hard plastics. For the leather/interior cleaners I use the brush to agitate or sometimes just spray onto the panel or microfiber and wipe off. Basically they remove all the sweat, grime, and old leather conditioner or interior detail spray.

Honestly, I haven't used much chemical guys stuff. Some really like it. I think they've got too many products that do similar results and there's other products that are cheaper and work just as well or better. Some of the Adam's Polishes stuff is bit like chemical guys in that respect. I really like Adam's soaps, interior & exterior detail sprays, and their spray wax. I buy my stuff in bulk and by the gallon.

Any leather/interior cleaner will work. I've slowly been switching over to P&S detail products from Adam's, because it's significantly cheaper. A gallon of P&S interior cleaner is $20. I'm guessing chemical guys is around $12-$16 for a 16oz bottle? I still like Adam's Polishes though. P&S is well known by professional detailers and those who detail for a living.

I'm always trying new detail products and it's become a bit of a hobby/obsession over the last few years. I'm always looking for the "best stuff." I prefer professional detail products as opposed to a lot of the stuff sold at say Walmart, but you can find a few detailing gems there too. That's why I highly recommend the Jay Leno's leather conditioner. ($10 at Walmart)

Kind of the same thing with interior detail sprays. I like products that work well. Adam's isn't exactly cheap, but I've been using it for about 5 years and really like it. Most important, it's got UV protection and gives a nice matte non greasy factory sheen. I hate greasy detail products. (FYI, Adam's sold his company a few years ago and quality dropped on some stuff.) Another reason why I've switched to P&S for some things.

Here's a couple of my favorite detailing sites if you're interested.

AVS low profile dark smoke vent visors. I'm pondering... should I have gotten my windows tinted before installing these or does that even matter/interfere with the tinting process?

 

They shouldn't interfere at all. I watched mine being done and it wouldn't have mattered if it had visors or not.

 

Rodger that, thanks!

Footwell lighting. I still have the kit for the rear to do as well as (4) aqua bars if I change my mind on the color. The actual color is a bit more neon blue than the darker blue shown in the picture, but I am still very pleased with it. I need to play with the PWM a bit to figure out how bright I actually want it for daily use.

As I said in the footwell thread, 2 Fast, 2 Furious, I'm 2 fast for y'all!

 

Had my local muffler shop install a OEM PRO muffler onto my 2021 Off Road Tacoma,, getting many more smiles per miles now !!!

 

I really like the aqua kit from vleds and hotshotoffroad, but I think the 5500k white would be more functional. Liking that blue.

The trd pro cat-back is on the top of my wishlist. My local dealer has it for about $630ish, but I'm still looking for cheaper.

 

Total chaos bed stiffeners for 2nd gen on 3rs gen with some modifications

took advantage of the warmer weather also, and changed out the trd skid plate letters to matte black...

 

Sumo springs installed.

Vleds footwell lighting kit for front and rear 6k matching the vleds interior 6k.

Ambient setting set on lowest matches the ktjo 4x4 bowl lights pretty well.

 

Are those TufSkinz? Looks awesome

 

loving those sliders! are they powder coated or bedliner finished, and how long did it take to get them from ordering to delivery?

 

All these people taking advantage of the weather and it's -6°c here

 

I have the aqua bars as well. Having a 2-color option would have been neat with white for entry and accent color for mood, but for now this meets my needs. It also lets me replicate this photo from a lifetime ago!
