What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

only reason I ask, is the N2 website says the engine will be shut off when the door opens.

 

What an unfortunate color.

I was gonna say something, but didn't.

Glad you did

 

That is a Toyota thing and there is zero way around it no matter what RS you go with. Companies have tried and failed to bypass that safety measure many times.

 

I can confirm the unit I installed in my 2017 TRD OR shuts the engine off when I open the door.

 

I grew up in an area where you park your nice cars in the driveway and block your driveway with the crappy cars. People would still break into the crappy cars move them and then steal the cars in the driveway. No lie. It seems to be a safety concern so your car doesn’t get stolen?

 

Yeah, mine on my 2019 shuts off when the door opens. Pretty sure N2 has said there's no way around this.

 

Wash and wax.

 

What size tire do you run? Them're CHUNKY, love the aggressive look.

 

Extra points for having the dog in the pic! Looks good!

 

They are 285 75 r16s.
Actually going to adjust the coilovers this week to get maybe an inch of lift back since adding the bumper and winch.

 

lookin like the bat mobile, very nice!

 

Just finished installing the ECGS bushing. Took about two hours start to finish including clean up. One less thing to do before I tackle the lift. Beer time!

 

I've watched a video on this and think I already know the answer, but maybe you can confirm for me.

Is it possible to check whether this was done without having to replace anything like gaskets (which might've gotten mangled while checking)?

I paid a shop to do this and am not convinced they did based on their hackjob on other parts of the truck. But they sure did charge me ($450) for the work! I'd really like to confirm they actually completed the ECGS and didn't F it up royally, if I could.

The video I watched it looked pretty intensive to get down to the bearing/bushing, and seemed like maybe some gaskets get destroyed in the process.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

 

Easy to confirm. Unfortunately need to pull out the axe to check. So you will need to do 1/2 the job. If your seal is in good shape you could reuse it. I would just replace it, cheap enough.

 

put on the pro grille from taco garage

 

Finally found a used soft topper rear windshield…. Spray it with some plasti dip! We good to gooo

 

Why? Legit question, no smartass.

 

Installed the caliraised hidden light bar. Thanks to @onequarteratatime for the great price and superb packaging. I swear that thing could've been air dropped and survived.


Also installed what I thought were going to be bumper covers. Got them from Facebook marketplace. When I received them they were shipped in a plastic bag with some bubble wrap stuffed in it. After my cussing fit I opened them up and saw the were actually replacements. Cheap replacements. So I contacted the seller and told them I wanted a refund. He issued a refund and told me just to keep the parts.



Since they were basically free, I figured I'd throw them on and see how they look. I think they look okay, but, don't expect them to last. They're probably half the thickness of the OEM ones

 

Any know the part numbers of the plastic grommets that come with the OEM remote tailgate lock kit? I'm not wanting to drill in mine to make room for the harness. I got the R4T kit.

TIA

 

Wiped the dust off, put it on 3.5 inches of wood blocks, removed the stock exhaust without cutting it.
