What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This one is a good price, and it's quieter version. I didn't check on OEM prices, figured they would be more.

 

Very cool plate collection, local tag and title place has one. Found this one when we were doing the backyard years ago.

 

Finally a legit reason for me to regret not having kids. It took 53 years, but you have shown me the error of my ways.

Need picks when it's done!

 

Ok, I went with the OEM and it was about the same price.

Here's a link to the OEM:

Post up a pic when recieved here's r4t.

 

Can't post any as I installed it months ago.

Lookin good!! I did the DD fogs yesterday. Biggest change over an OEM part I’ve done so far. I had no idea how bad the stock fog lights were until I turned on the DD’s.

 

just a little prep for things to come.

 

I know! Was surprised it's not a factory item too. But it would be just one more thing that COULD fail, so Toyota prolly erred on the side of caution and kept it out of the build.

These lights do a tremendous job of illuminating to engine bay. The tape is the really good 3M variation. No sign of drooping at all. The hood has sat in GA sun, CO sun, winters for both, and has been driven for 14 hours at a time going cross-country between the two.

 

I have the 2020 OR (DCLB)too. I only averaged 18 to 19 mpg when stock also--and I generally drive like a granny. Didn't change when I put my ARE mid-height--6"above cab aluminum topper on (has a sloped front on it). Seems the extra aerodynamics from the topper offset the weight. HOWEVER, just got a 2 1/2" lift and it looks like I am going to take at least a 1.5 mpg hit--seem to be more in the 16.5 to 17.5 mpg range now. I guess those people who get above twenty mpg must have the 4 cylinder engines.

 

It's a 15.00 Sticker?

 

Installed these...

 

Sticker removal finished! Next is black emblem overlays and Bumpershellz to delete the remainder of the chrome.

 

Despite the description, that cap is aluminum, not stainless steel. It says so lower down in the product description. Also, you don't anodize stainless steel. The many colors gave it away also as being aluminum.

 

That's my 1st upgrade when I finally get my white OR acess cab, also going with the all black bedside overlays. I don't have mine yet but already purchased the tailgate letters, the badge overlays, ordered the new back up lights and air compressor

 

will this fit my 2022 sr5?

 

Yes, confirm here.

Stanley Adventure Tumbler. 40 Oz. Fits perfectly without an adapter. Like it.
REI has em in stock. Call them. The online inventory is wrong.

 

I did the same a year ago. Ditched the sticker, blacked out the badges, and covered the rear chrome bumper. But since then I replaced the badges with a blacked out trd off road badge. The truck is always evolving!
