What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

got this today because, .......well every AMERICAN should have at least one.....now I'll be needing to get stuff to put in it and stickers

PLANO from academy

 

Exactly what I got about three weeks ago!

 

Installed the eibach stage 1 suspension

 

Where did you run the coax for the antenna through the cab? I have the

$165 Midland MXT115 - 15 Watt GMRS MicroMobile Two Way Trails Radio - Off Roading Outdoor RZR Farm - 8 Repeater Channels Extended Range - External Magnetic Mount Antenna - NOAA Weather Alerts

Midland MXT115 to install and have been trying to find a good spot to route the coax from the antenna to the radio

 

Installed the truck bed header accessory rail and then found a way to reuse my last roof rack MaxTrax mounts to secure my MaxTrax to that. Clean, secure and accessible storage for them.

Also installed the factory tail gate lock and tapped into that wiring to make the topper lock work with the factory locks.

 

20% ceramic tint on the front to match the rears...

 

Prinsu rack came in earlier today so I spent the afternoon installing it! Even mocked up what I planned to put on it— planning to have all of it mounted before next weekend when I go camping

 

mine is at 5k rotate tires, at 10k first oil change

 

Nice bike. Hawaii is awesome, but everywhere has its limitations. As for mass, well you said it best.

 

Just a small spot from rubbing on the box. Shipping took some time but this was the shipping company.

 

Yeah, after years living in lots of places I've come to realize there are terrible people, certainly terrible drivers, everywhere but my perception of a population's relative driving skill/quality is directly proportional to population density. Pretty sure this is for two reasons, 1) more people in the same space makes people more likely to make sketchier decisions with less room for error and 2) "Sampling Bias", I only notice the bad drivers so more people means I notice bad drivers more often. Actually figured this out while writing something for a college class I was taking last year. It gave me a whole new perspective on my 3 hour round trip commute. I'm certain that I'll find whole new ways for people to piss me off on the road in Hawaii but hopefully I'll also see less of Mass' worst habits, like stopping the flow of traffic to let somebody out of a driveway or side street, pulling halfway out into the road to stop the flow of traffic until the other lane clears so that they can go, weird late exit line choices (like they are in the right-hand lane, but don't enter the exit until the last moment), starting to left at a light 10 feet before the actual intersection and cutting through the on-coming lane, blowing through a red light 3 seconds after it turned red because the 2 cars in front of them also ran the red light, slamming on the brakes to let slow moving traffic onto the interstate rather than maintaining speed and letting the vehicle merge into the space behind them that the driver was (hopefully) aiming for and causing every traffic jam, and various others.

 

Cabin filter/ Air filter/washer fluid top off and installed the rear shocks from the Eibach stage 1 lift, work continues tomorrow.

 

Sounds like an excuse to buy more goodies. Hehe. I have the v5s and footwells already installed. I just ordered the puddles and just waiting for it to come

 

No problem, I'm here to help.

I'm on the fence we will see.

 

Nice! Are you thinking about doing the emblem overlays and tailgate badge too? He mentioned he could do the 4X4 and SR5 emblems as a custom order. [/QUOTE]


I've got all his topo stuff (quality stuff for sure), except for the SR5 emblems. Great, thanks tacomaworld.....just when you think you're good, they pull ya back in

 

Spent like 8 hours detailing the exterior. Washed, clay bar, polished, glazed, sealant, and waxed. I'll throw some pics later

Oh, and I added a couple of decals; I removed the V6 badge.

 

Rear shocks and AAL installed. I'd like to claim it was as easy as the YouTube video lead me to believe; but, what should have been a few hours turned into an all day affair. Luckily the weather was nice!

 

Looks good. Which AAL did you go with? I'm trying to decide between AAL's and either Bilstein or Fox shocks.

 

Turned over 5000 miles pulling into driveway.
