What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

LOL I would throw a "Thanks Captain Obvious" back at ya but this is a recent headache that has worked fine until today - plus I'm not that big of an asshole. Just a moderate asshole.

FYI they worked fine since I installed them in late January. Other than the "C" DRL not lighting up lately everything else works fine. Parking light DRL on the bottom works fine. LED headlight works fine.

OEM or not a bad part is a bad part. Kind of bummed it would go out so fast, but whatever still under 12 month warranty. Just gotta watch out for a dealer trying to weasel out by stating officially that part doesn't correspond with my VIN number or some other random legalese nonsense...

 

Your wife did good work. Do you have a photo of them installed?

 

101 will take you through Crescent City and the Redwood Parks. Ferndale is a nice town to stop at.

Take a side trip to Zion and Bryce. I don't know when you're traveling through, but I've always like spring in Zion in March/April. Bryce'll have snow then usually.

 

Put the decked system in today in anticipation of a job change

 

Finally finished my trucks sound deadening... only took me 3 years. But I pulled all the old carpet padding out, put in noico 80mil and covered it with 315mil foam. I cut channels in the foam for all my wires to run. Also while I was in there I installed the last RCA cable from my radio to my DSP. Now I just need to program the DSP to recognize that RCA as the subwoofer. There are now 6 channels running from the radio to the DSP and 10 channels from the DSP to my amps.

 

how come you took the roof rack off? I love my simple look but sometimes I could use the storage.

 

a few reasons. Thought it looked too busy. Annoyed me whenever I washed it since the cross bars retain so much water. Black trucks and water drips in the morning of a fresh wash drove me crazy. Also didn’t need the extra storage.

adding 35s and bumpers, wanted less wind resistance to maybeeee even out my mpg

 

Mounted my fridge slide and adjusted the tilt height. Fridge is an Engel MT45F Platinum mounted on a DFG Offroad tilt slide that is bolted down to a piece of 3/4” baltic birch ply (2’x4’) that is wrapped in outdoor carpet. The plywood is strapped down to the seat back ensuring I went around all the hinges for support. I wanted this to be as secure yet easily removable as possible!

 

Got new KMC Impact OL in satin black 16x8 0 offset

 

Looks like the A/C unit that comes with the Mission Overland Summit trailer, which I have been very interested in lately.

 

Drove to work, had a quick 2 minutes to spare.

 

Yep I'm in AZ, mesa.. yes lots of work still have more trimming to do. With the manual trans the power isn't too bad actually first gear is more usable now, but I might regear in the future.

And yes bulldog! Like 15 minutes from me great testing grounds for rubbing

 

My stock knob started wearing at like 30k I'm at 80 now with the trd and still looks brand new well worth it imo

 

Nice, I'm located in Gilbert and head out to Bulldog all the time. Great local spot. Also check the Rolls OHV area. It is not far from Bulldog.
The 35's look great and I bet it took a lot of work. I have 33's and I had to do a good amount of trimming and cutting for off roading. Let me know if you want to meet up and hit up Bulldog sometime.

 

Cool man, ya I'm az native been wheeling out here many years rolls, mt ord, 4peak, crown king..I'm down for it all. Trying to get my coworkers with tacos to do a wheeling trip 4peaks or do bulldog Ellsworth entrance to wolverine would be cool to have you join!

 

That’s good to know! I haven’t had a chance to drive yet with it…just jiggled my stick real quick after I screwed it on lol. It felt much bigger than I had expected, but feels heavy duty. Looking forward to it

 

Full tank mod lol. Gas is up to $7 locally

 

That's a killer price. 4Runner wheels?

 

Yup! The price just went back up!
