What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What hardware did you use to attach? Looks great!

 

Not as much as I had hoped to do. Seems my shipment of a Front Runner Simsport roof rack was in two boxes taped together and labeled as one 70 lb box. What arrived was a thin box with torn tape and a shipping label marked as 70 lbs but weighing less than 10 lbs, to be sure, only containing a wind fairing.

Rather disappointed.

Since it is a long weekend I’m sure I won’t get any responses to my inquiries until Tuesday. But we’ll see how it all gets worked out.

 

Started the stereo installation. Will be all Audiofrog GS series, 6 channel amp for speakers and mono for sub, Hush Mat in the doors and foam in the door panels. Custom harness with bass blockers all around.

 

Like the lights and love the manual trans sticker!

 

Installed a catalytic converter shield.

Theft deterrent will put my mind at ease. Understandably it’s a deterrent. If someone wants your cats bad enough, they’ll cut through anything. At least with this they’ll move on to an easier target.

 

Great job! Where did you find the bass blockers like those? Mine are foam.

 

Thanks

This seller has the whole audiopipe lineup for bass blockers: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=pricedrightsales&store_name=pricedrightsales&_dmd=2&_oac=1

I'm running 200hz on my 6 1/2's, 150hz on my 6x9's, and will do 300hz on the dash 2.5" speakers.

 

Wow! I am retired, it is my daily driver, and I have put 60K on it in just the last 3.5 years. Most of that offroad in the bush, fishing and exploring in BC. Addicted to nature.

As for what I have done lately, greased all 5 zerks right before the 4 day fishing trip I just returned from. Early 2016, has the 5 zerks. Lucas red n tacky, seems to work well.

Yes, used same lubricant on all 5 zerks. NLGI 2 rated. I grease the zerks about every 4 - 6 months due to the amount of offroading in mud and wet conditions, and lots of dust too.

 

Not g3 but I have one in the pic

 

I was actually looking at those on slickdeals recently while sitting on a mattress in the back of my truck at a drive in movie. I thought to myself that would be a cool idea to lounge in a pool in the bed of the truck while at the drive in, but I wondered how much water would actually stay in the pool while driving to the drive in.

 

Lol you aren't driving a taco bed full of water anywhere... Note the jack, supporting the water. That's something like 2500 pounds. I didn't want want old clutch to bear it all. So I threw the jack in to help out. But you definitely could not drive this way

 

Easy. Just drive like a old widow woman.

 

Added a couple subtle red accents to the rear cab. The other accent is the Tuffskin door handle stripe and cup holder liners that were previously installed.

Well, obviously I wasn’t thinking completely full, but if your estimate of a full pool is even close to correct, then about 1/3 to 1/2 full would suffice. Let’s be honest, you’re not actually swimming in this pool, so 1/3 to 1/2 full would be just enough to cover your legs and keep you cooled off during the movie. Still, even 1/3 full, if you hit a bump driving there, a few gallons would likely splash out each time.

It also just occurred to me that the stress on the truck from the water constantly shifting would likely cause more damage than the actual weight of even 1/3 a bed of water.

I agree a bed pool in a Tacoma is a dumb idea.

 

Loaded up two 10 foot kayaks and two 6 foot kayaks along with some fishing poles and stuff and took the family kayaking. It was their first time kayaking even though we have had the kids kayaks for 2 years and my wifes for a year. They loved it! and the best part is I got to fish the whole time and found myself a nice honey hole of giant bass that no one fishes for (its a small lake that people swim and paddle board at, but no one fishes for anything other than bluegill from the dock)

 

A LOT better than stock.

 

My 2019 didn’t have the compass tab, the media tab is still there but is just blank. As for the OBD, they included everything needed to hook it up minus the Sirius tuner. There is nothing to plug into the OBD.

 

Sorry misread it last night was hella drunk hahaha. I used a Jig Saw with a fine tooth blad. I used tape to aid with cutting it 1" below the line. Once you do one side the other side takes 10 min. Goodluck

 

Which one did you go with? I've been looking into catshield
