What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not who you asked, but...

I got a great dash cover from Angry Elephant.
It has been installed for over 4 years in the GA sun and is holding up very well. I got it to stop the glare of a shiny dash, but other benefits are protecting said dash from UV & scratches and a morale patch holder.

 

Mine is run to my voswitch, which provides the fuse and all needed.

 

Is that a silicone cup cake holder in the drink holder ?

 

I need to check out angry elephant and get a dash cover too.

 

License Plate Lights, is there any easy way to get the bulbs out as I want to install the Led bulbs? I cant get my hand in the pocket to twist the light socket out, any suggestions?

 

You can pry them out from up top

 

Nice Job, does the kit come with the oil to apply to the filter also or is it just the tube with clamps and filter?

 

Thanks I will try that, since my bumper is being replaced, due to an accident.

I replaced mine with some Morimoto lights recently. Used a pry tool and pulled them out fairly easily. Pry the left or right until you defeat the clip then you can push out the housing, bulb, and harness to work with.

 

What size tires are you running?

 

Just 33's. As others have said, the AT is tall geared from the factory, so a 33 actually makes it work pretty hard. For reference, I have the same size tires on my FJ40 with 4.10 gears, and I have never found that to be a problem, but the stock 3.9 in the Taco has annoyed me from the day it rolled off the lot.

 

Absolutely - Combined with the transmission constantly trying to sip gas makes it a dog.

 

What size fairing did you get?

 

I spent too much time on Diode Dynamics website.

 

lol, add one thing... but wait, there's more!

 

It’s ALWAYS like that is the problem.

 

I remember this install...

Twas a PITA getting the tab to squeeze through without breaking it off. But if you're replacing the whole unit, it won't hurt if you break the tab.

 

I usually just wait until they have a sale. Lol
