What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any off gassing or odors from the kilmat?

 

Added another MESO part

 

None detected. Did all four doors, and behind rear seat.
Also I will say, I did not realize how crappy the factory speakers are.

 

That was easy! I needed that for my locking gas cap that doesn't have that tether built in.

​

 

Looks great. I am assuming those are -10? Stock height? Any rub?? I would like those wheels if I could ever find them in stock.

 

Wait I'm supposed to have two skids, was wondering why there was a big open space past the motor skid.

 

Yes it is a two piece design. Pic borrowed from another thread. Where the first one ends, the second on begins. Picture that first semi-circle mating up with the secnd one and creating a full circle. Does yours end with a semi circle?

 

My sr5 didn't have the 2nd skid plate so it threw me off when I was removing the front one to install my trd pro skid

 

Ended up being easy to figure out where to solder into on the board for the opener after I watched this video. There's also this thread that was my original inspiration.

 

Replaced the steelies with dx4 terrain from discount tires

 

Used a piece of 8020 and modified a cheap phone holder. I’ll have to find a better phone holder sometime and also get the 8020 powder coated.

 

Guys, I just paid $ 35.83 for 5 Crush washers for the transmission oil change and the Tcase oil change. Are there better prices out there than this for Crush washers?

 

I did the same to tie my Paradox security system in the Chamberlain Liftmaster.

 

It comes with a rubber seal that’s supposed to rest on the paint

 

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered me one today.

 

I’ve read that hot lead may alleviate.

 

Where’d you get the gold ones?
I got prices from on-line Toyota dealer parts site and had local dealer match. Don’t recall them being $35. I’ll see if I can find which one.

I added some side steps for the kids.

 

Just know his.

• Back uses the small bolts, no spacers
• Middle uses the longest bolts and longest spacers
• Front uses the medium bolts and shorter spacers

For sure start on the front bolts first. Instructioins say to do rear next, but I found it impossible because the middle bolts and the length prevents you from doing the rears. So wing it after that and see what works. I had to go back an forth.

Also, before you do anything, thread each bolt into its slot to make sure it will thread. I had a hard time starting the threads. The factory bolts seem to be tapered and are easier to get going. The knock offs were not tapered.
