What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You have inspired me, I also am planning on taking the stickers off the mirrors covers too.

 

Changed out my Grille today and did the cruise control test to see if everything is ok, i purchased this grille from Yotaverse, it is an ok grille I think i had to buy the TSS sensor cover too,

How does it look ?

 

That’s a nice setup you have!

 

I spray this shit on everything! I hit all exposed bolt threads and nuts come off after years of living in the salt belt.

 

Yup. My last sea ray moved to FL after 17 years. Time for a refresh.

 

TacomaLifestyle and I just can't stand looking at the oem CHSML. Hoping this third brake light and gasket will fit better this time.

I just looked at this and thought “story of my life” always find something cheaper after MY purchase! Then I read the reviews, this one is screwed on from the outside. What a neat concept. I still would be in the same boat trying to remove the original nuts from the third brake though.

 

Im interested in those side handles on your rack. Looking to get a set for mine.

 

They are from Yota Twins and I love them. Easy to install and solid. They offer a ton of colors to choose from too.

I ended up putting silicone around it and putting the trim piece around it. I had to buy the trim piece (00948-CHSML) from a dealer via Walmart since the dealers aren't allowed to sell it if you're not part of the recall/TSB.

 

The good part during the weekend was that I removed the last emblems on the truck, put in the Toyota logo overlay on the steering wheel and my turn signal led bulbs arrived.

the bad part was after removing the emblems, they still have imprints and the bulbs I bought aren’t resistor free

 

Not today, but over the weekend, I finally installed the rear footwell lights...

The Subaru Tweeters are next...

 

If all else fails, give this thing a shot. I didnt have much to remove on mine, but worked like a charm.

What wheels are these please?

 

Dry fit the trim on the light first before installing. See if there is still a noticeable gap. Good luck, amigo! That is the same sequential mirror lights that I bought on Amazon and installed them couple years ago.

 

It's all about balance. A little bit of weight poorly balanced is a lot more dangerous than a whole lot of weight well balanced. I used to tow a lot of weight on a trailer with my hatchback (1,200lbs + 5x10 trailer is a lot of weight for a hatchback). The only time I ever had a problem was when I got the balance a little too far back (to reduce tongue weight but eyeballed it wrong). Pulled over, moved a couple 60lb blocks to the front and presto, pulls like a dream.

 

Pulled my jump starter out from behind the back seat and topped off the charge, you know, just in case. Made it a one beer job.

 

What brand AAL's did you go with?

 

Went with Headstrong!

 

Finished wiring up all my backlighting...
