What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's a common accessory in northern climates, get them anywhere from the dealership to NAPA. I had a 6 plug when I lived further north.

 

I know this is not really the spot for it, but this thread is huge, so maybe someone will be able to help me.
I just had the Alpine Design CMR done about 3 weeks ago on my pro. I went with the standard bushings. About a week after the install, I have very noticeable creaking sound coming from the mounts when I accelerate and under hard braking? Any ideas? I tried to torque the bolts, but they just spin with the torque wrench. Please help. Thanks!

 

Not as high as you think, look closer: (@Concrete_taco I'm borrowing your photo for a visual aide)

They start where the A-pillar is the thickest. If it's opaque it adds a 1/4 or 1/3 to the thickness.

No, I didn't hit a person because of a blindspot. I hit a person because I didn't clear my blindspot properly before making a left turn. I don't blame the blindspot itself because it's entirely on me to account for it, but making it even thicker doesn't make the job any easier.

Man, I'm definitely hooked. With the YouTube tutorials on how to use Freecad and Blender the possibilities are endless. Not to mention all the free prints that are out there it's crazy on what you can make with this thing. It's amazing what this thing can do.

 

Is that a moon roof I see?

 

Changed my oil, only had a 5 quart jug. Went to Wally world for one more liter to top her off. Heard a clunk pulling out the lot and realized I forgot the cap. Searched all over but finally found it.

 

Scary stuff man! Glad you heard it and was able to locate it.

 

How did you do the lettering? That looks great. I've got a similar set up, but now mine seem super lame. Really well done!

 

Looks sharp! Is that a sunroof I see on your SR? I know its not but I see a black spot on the roof but I really can't tell what it is from the picture. Try getting some oem style black fender flares and easily install them with 3M tape. Carparts.com sell some nice replacement flares for a very decent price.

 

Yeah I installed a sunroof in my SR. Pretty straight forward and contrary to belief, if you take your time and do it right they don’t leak! Haha ironically I HAVE been looking for some OEM style fender flares but man it’s tough to find some I like. Don’t like the bolted on look, have seen a few but nothing that has really grabbed my eye!

 

That sunroof came out really nice, congrats! I agree with you, I don't like the bigger bolt on style (raptor style I believe) fender flares. A buddy of mine with an SR bought the oem style flares from carparts and they look just like OEM. https://www.carparts.com/fender-fla...acoma&vehicle[make]=Toyota&vehicle[year]=2019

The next mod (suggestion on the list) can also be some after market fog lights that you can get from Amazon for less than $50.

 

OK I LIKE THOSE! They sell rears as well? And I do have my Baja designs amber fog lights that I need to install. In fact I have a BUNCH of electronics in my shop I need to install or hook-up (Pioneer HU, heated seats, anytime camera, a Bob’s Mirror, etc.). Waiting for my switch pro and my BD 5 XL Linkable lights to arrive though……….this is what it’ll look like in 4-6 weeks (darn shipping delays!).

FYI THIS PIC IS A SCREENSHOT FROM BAJA DESIGNS JUST TO SHOW THE LIGHTS I ORDERED!! (had a couple PM me questions about it. So wanted to clarify!)

 

I like these because they’re self adhesive. Install a lot easier and with way less mess since you don’t have to glob on a bunch of rtv. I’d say it took about 10 minutes per pad.

 

I'm pretty sure he got the rear flares from the same place, I think he did but can't remember. I think he had to wait on those for a while after ordering them.

 

I keep forgetting to post here so not sure what I mentioned last. But I have the N2 Design remote start now, which was a crazy easy install and highly recommended, the raptor lights, C4 Hybrid bumper, 4 baja design squadron sport lights, extreme LED lightbar, smittybilt winch, cali Raised led ditch lights, a pair of maxtrax MKIIs, and some random decals. It's probably been since before COVID since I updated this site haha. I really need to get some better pictures...I keep forgetting to take them.

 

I really like those cement gray wheels! What are they?

 

Sorry, that is just a screenshot from BD website showing the lights I ordered from them, but yes they ARE nice wheels

 

Looks like these:

 

What tonneau are you running under that rci bed rack?
