What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks, I didn't think everyone would like it.

 

Lots of places out there, https://www.extremeterrain.com has some, Toyota has some. I haven't carefully shopped around, and I'm not sure I'm in the market for better ones since 90% of my truck life will be on the road, so a heavier skid plate doesn't make sense to me yet.

 

While I didn't like it in the way that I would think to myself "that's awesome, I should do that" I did like it simply because it was absurd, unique, and hilarious. It's a great way to help maintain your composure every time traffic slips you a Jeffrey.

Well, exactly!!!!!

 

Pic looks weird and fake almost like a toy car for some reason

 

Almost looks like a slight "tilt-shift" effect. Maybe a digital filter?

 

Must be the Iphone camera playing tricks.

 

Editing the "Filters" causes some interesting contrast/hue colors.

I think it looks cool!

May have been taken in portrait mode which focuses on the one object while softening or blurring the surrounding environment. Just my .02
It is a cool looking pic though!

 

The curt lights came with everything plug/play to hookup w/ the 4 pin. 3m adhesive on the lights and I used 1”x1” adhesive zip tie mounts to hold/secure the wire in place. I added split braided sheathing for protection (looks better imo than the corrugated split loom). The lights were only about 25$ and are slim, maybe slightly too slim for my liking but I didn’t want to buy the carrier light add on for another 100 so this works

 

If anyone lives near me and want to make some adjustments for free, just hit me up.

 

Yes, I plan on that circle as well as the other side/tie down circle but didn’t have enough time- was originally expecting another 2 weeks before picking up the grom but found another ready now, slightly cheaper and 1hr closer.

I want to add reflective tape on the ramp side too because it does stick out slightly past (couple inches) the truck and I can see myself, my knee, being magnetized right into it.

 

I have one of these installed on almost all of my vehicles (not the Taco yet though), and they work great. I have had them for about three years now and they are awesome - EXCEPT - if you misplace the drain valve with the release in it. I managed to put all of mine (I use 5 of them) in a safe place in the shop I wouldn’t lose them……well about four hours later, I found that safe place. It is nice, especially on the lift, to just screw it in and let it drain straight into my oil drain container. No more pulling the oil drain plug super fast to not get burned by the oil and hoping you have your drain pan in the right place!

 

Yeah it is definitely MUCH louder under acceleration/passing. Ironically at highway speed when not on a grade, it’s pretty quiet. It is more for my son who will be taking over the truck when my new Power Wagon shows up………

 

Yea I was thinking that... I might paint mine blaze orange or put a long lanyard on it. There's probably a way to get a replacement...

 

mines a daily driver so just regular oem under armor for me and
I don't remember exactly where the filter is but Aluminum foil often works to some degree to direct the mess some at least....

 

what is that for?

 

Should you go with the single even if you don’t have a cai?

 

It replaces your oil drain bolt and allows for much easier oil changes... thats the theory anyway... i have yet to change mine...
