What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I read that Toyota charges as much as $1200 to replace a condenser, and then I read some threads here of people doing their own and it isn’t hard to do- so while checking out the tube to see how, I ran into one of a guy showing how to repair a pinhole leak (like mine) with solder and you don’t even have to take it off the truck! I borrowed a vacuum pump and gauges from a neighbor and got to work yesterday. It’s holding a full vacuum after several hours, so I think I fixed it! Only test now is recharging it and seeing what happens…. The only expensive part of the repair is the refrigerant- $120 for the 19oz or so that it will need (R1234yf).

 

Yep.

 

Over the last month. Airraid snorkel with the syklone pre filter, adapter courtesy of @AdrenaliNate, WarFab front bumper and Zeon 12s winch. Fairlead required a bit of trimming but it fits perfect now. Just got back from a weeks vacation in VA. Hit up bald eagle Jeep trail / big levels. Took 162 from coal road to the blue ridge parkway. Fun trail, if pinstripes make you angry I’d stay off it though

 

Love the bumper waiting for them to start taking orders again

 

Really like how clean it is, and easy to install. I had it for about 6 months before I just made time to finally install it. Never enough time with everyone else’s stuff!

 

We also just got back from a trip to Virginia. Installed a new bumper and winch combo right before we left, another 200lbs. Averaged a little over 17mpg! Last trip we did, we averaged 10… 6th gear pulled with no effort. Thanks again @PapaRee and @TWTaco for incredible work on these tunes!

 

Adding foam padding to the door panel:

 

Got some fab work done by Milogen Fabrications in Milipitas CA, highly recommend if you're in the bay area. Top notch CMC, JD Fab Double sheer steering kit, and AllPro Offroad Spindle Gussets. All prep on the journey to fit 35s!

 

Hit 100k.

 

are you open to sharing the file?

 

Friggin' Awesome front plate!

And your Tacoma isn't too shabby either.

 

I will have to think about it.

 

RCI is on my to-do list. A motivator to buy from them for me is that they are about an hour or so down the road from my location for pick-up.

 

The sale price is always nice too! The directions for the sliders are crap though, it’s a lot easier to guess and finagle everything together with two people plus jack stands and jack. No good videos on YouTube either

 

I like your idea of "most-important" mod.

I have the Talon CAT plate married up to the TRD Skid.

 

Finally added my RTT. 23Zero Breezeway 62”

 

love the post lol- what did you undercoat the bottom with?

 

Did you take off the trd skid to install. Im thinking about the miller cat or talons.

 

Yesterday I installed the OEM electric lock kit for my tailgate. For the most part the installation went exactly according to plan, though I had a problem with the nylon blocks that back the Torx-30 screws that fasten the cover to the tailgate. Otherwise no real issues though I ended up finishing almost in the dark (started after supper). It was a good thing I kept going, as we had a huge thunderstorm overnight including a massive deluge. It would not have been fun under the truck today.

Overall an excellent kit that thought of everything (the cab floor grommet was even pre-installed on the harness). All the parts and fasteners including metal zip ties for near the exhaust were included and everything fit exactly as expected.

 

Thats why i was thinking about the talon one. Its like the trd pro skid.
