What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Those look like comfortable shoes...

 

Nipple rings and a glorious death

 

Victory's MOLLE panels attach behind the side bed rails rather than to them. Give them a look.

Added some Volk Racing TE37XT M-spec wheels and new ko2's

 

Sorry for the delay, I used the ARB mounts. Work perfect! But you have to order them separately

 

so are owners adding the blockers on the oem bulb too? wondering? I added the leds and they are no problem for me with the camera before or after, and if the lights are turned off the reverse lights are still on

 

I run the blockers with the OEM bulbs. It makes the back up camera work way better at night with the ability to have your headlights turned on at night.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

Definitely. The camera issue has nothing to do with the reverse lights. The tag lights, even the OEM bulbs, cause the camera to adjust like it's daytime and drops its sensitivity which causes the image to suck. Brighter reverse lights do help a bit, but dialing down the tag lights one way or another makes the camera work much better in general.

It's easy to do back to back tests, if you want, with a couple squares of masking tape or duct tape. I'm willing to bet $20CAD that you'll notice an improvement at night. This is the first vehicle I've owned with a backup camera, and the first thought I had when I threw it into reverse at night and looked down at the screen was, "wow... that sucks."

 

Nothing major today but I like the adds.
New TRD OffRoad decal for the bed (picture looks pinkish, but its very much red)
And the steering wheel Emblem overlay from TacoVinyls

 

ok , just wondering why owners add brighter light just to block it off

 

I'm liking the Hilux badge!

 

Yes. Gotta find that thread and see for yourself. Yes, the reverse lights are on, and the rest of your lights including markers are off...

I can't explain this to you anymore without adding pop-up and using crayons. It's not "blocking off" the light... it's aiming it properly across the plate instead of a flood pattern across everything causing glare in the camera. If you don't think you need em, then don't get em. It takes one minute to test the theory yourself... put your hand over part of it and see the cutoff, get in the truck and put it in reverse... see bright plate lights... get out the truck and put tape over the top half of the housing (you can see the cutoff as you just tested so adjust accordingly)... get back in and don't see any glare from plate lights. Simple right?

Just stop beating the dead horse.

 

Mondayest Monday.... EVER.

At least someone got their fancy new Methods when they where supposed to...

Looks awesome!

 

Did the "Sokie Tech" no drill hood struts today. Unfortunately the hood opened higher than the stock rod and my ditch lights. had to go! (I'm ordering new ditch lights that can work with these.)
Also did the rear diff breather mod behind the drivers side tail light. (Didn't take any picture)

 

Where did you get that Cav plate?

 

This is a 34” so keep this clearance in mind for your 35’s add about a half inch to this photo for your clearances

 

You guys and your “auto-magics” my key with a 6mt looks like this, and I have to turn it to start and stop my truck. Not only that, but Toyota seems to think I didn’t want a factory subwoofer with my truck,As well as be able to lock and unlock my truck from my phone because I have that silly third pedal.
