What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Great day on the move to Alaska, ran out of gas in the mountians luckily filled up the rotapax, found a sweet place to stay the night with an outhouse that has an amazing view, truck is pulling good, it was 104 yesterday when driving and had no issues truck still powered through, today im going to washington and tomorrow will be in BC! If you want to check out the trip have more stuff on ig

 

Sounds like it’s off to an epic start! You should make a trip report and we can follow along! Beautiful dogs as well!

 

Installed a full suspension lift on my buddies truck yesterday. Bilstein 6112's at 6/5 in front and 5160 with Icon RXT leaf pack in back. 2* shim, no CB drop. Going to do ECGS bushing in near future. 285/70/17 Goodyear UT.

I drove it to test for vibrations and curiosity as to the feel of the 285's. I gotta say, I love it. Zero vibrations and felt great. Here's a comparison to mine. I have same Bilstein setup and tires at 5/4 and HS 1.5 3 leaf AAL with 265/75/16.

 

Fairly easy. Remove 10mm on A-pillar, plug in harness, remove the radio trim panel, remove four 10mm bolts so you can lift it out of the way, remove two 10mm bolts under the steering wheel panel so you can partially remove the right and lower part of the panel so you can get access to pop off the climate control panels. Reach down to Pop off the blank then I fished the switch harness thru the blank hole…Viola! I got the power!

 

Happy Birthday @FishnTx and @Gen1TacoLady !!

 

Thank you

 

I don't belong here!

Thanks Bob!

 

Not sure the route you are taking through BC but if you're taking the Fraser Canyon out of Hope just be prepared for a few construction delays

 

Lmk if you need some help with the switch install.

 

Thanks, I should be able to manage. I have taken the dash apart a few too many times already. I have a few other Meso stuff like chrome delete vents and custom switch panels. Just waiting on USPS to arrive with the switch so I can’t get it all done at once today.

 

​

Going to install mine today. Was worried that it wouldnt reach to the center console.

 

Had Katzkin heated leather seats, door panels and arm rest done on the new Sport…very happy with them so far…oh, black and cognac…

 

That looks really good! Definitely impressed with Katzkin quality as I’ve driven a few cars with them in the past. Out of curiosity though, why didn’t you go with the premium package from Toyota?

 

I finally broke down and installed the Meso Total Tail Stage 1 kit this morning. Not quite as smooth as they show on the installation video but still simple to do and no need for resistors, which made me a happy camper. Very pleased with the upgraded functionality of the tail lights.

 

We went there for a week a couple of years ago and my wife had us looking high and low for the wild horses. Never saw one. Just showed her your picture and she is super jealous.

 

I originally did but because of all the shortages I wasn’t able to get it.
The dealer offered to install leather but the Katzkin dealer package only came in black, gray or tan…and they didn’t do the door panels or arm rest
I went directly to Katzkin and got custom colors, heated seats with door panels and armrest for another $400…worth it in my opinion…

 

Finished my swing out tire/gas carrier. It will be sand blasted and painted Monday. This was made specifically to fit my southern style offroad rear bumper. It uses the hitch and one of the recovery points for attachment. Ill post the finished photos after i pick it up.

 

Plenty of wires to even go up to the map/reading light if you have an empty spot for the switch.
