What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Put some vinyl on the hood, black badge overlays, and a meso start stop button.

 

More photos to come of course. Right now it has the ugly oem spare mounted to it. Can't seem to find a 235 85 r16 k02.

 

Can you post up part number for the electric fan you used.

 

Ordered "Clazzio" seat covers for my Taco!

 

Just installed: Caltrend seat covers, wheel locks, Weathertech floor mats, locking gas cap, bed mat, rubber inserts into every cup holder/door pocket/etc.

some of these items were off my old 2010, but some I had to buy new.

 

Got one too..afraid to go to the car wash. I guess I didn't research what the rules are on the bug guard and if it can break in the car wash or not. Have you gone in a wash or do you hose clean at home?

 

Now you need to replace those ugly chrome rings with cement ones.

 

Did the same a few weekends ago

 

Had 14 emails in as many days to "connect Toyota to services",..
Some think if you do not enroll you cannot be tracked, I never enrolled, and I was being tracked.
Called to "de-activate" and not "enroll" the nice lady said'?
Yes, "de-activate".

She was not happy and our date was over....
Her last email,... Dear John,..

 

Added the RAV4 knobs, small, quick upgrade but much nicer OEM look and feel.

 

Nice! What brand model is that cat shield and where did u pick it up?

Oh, a suggested mod for you. Get some dirt under that frame.

 

It's the millers cat shield

 

Not the OP but I have taken mine through the car wash. I have discovered that a few of the caps on the screws have disappeared. Most likely due to automatic car wash.

 

I don't know why but your post was the one that finally triggered me into moving the shield from cart to purchase! You are right that this IS an important mod! Even at almost $400, I feel better.

Full disclosure, I did get those "silly" raptor lights. They look nice but they ain't gonna protect my catalytic converter.

 

Loved the bilsteins, a solid setup for the price! Actually rode better than my King's on-road.

 

This is on my short-list of mods, have you been able to test the range in mountain area's yet? Also how difficult was it to mount behind the dash?

 

To mount the radio body, I stuffed it in below the head unit and zip tied it to the support bars behind the dash. The mike connects to it from the driver’s side under the dash and comes up to the center console. Haven’t tested range yet.

 

I got the 12-inch model and custom mounted it. They come as a 2-pack, but I only used one- I attached mine on the metal frame in front of the condenser and did not use their zip ties. To keep it simple, I ran it to a switch in the cab so I can turn it on and off only when really needed:

MOSTPLUS Black Universal Electric Radiator Slim Fan Push/Pull 12V + Mounting Kit (12 Inch) Set of 2

Thanks. Sadly they show "unavailable we don't know when this item will be in stock" for me. I can find them (or similar) on Amazon.ca but they want 100% of the price for shipping. So I can buy a 12 pack for $35CDN or just wait. For now the cover is secure so I guess I'll wait. Still raining.

 

Couple of other things: while I was underneath routing the cable and zip tying it in place, I had a good look at the underside of my truck. I am really impressed with how clean and neat it all is. I bought the truck in January after my Ranger was totaled, and have not had the weather (snow, then rain, rain, rain) to really get underneath. It's a 2019 with 64K kms on it, so not new. But the underside is just in incredible shape.

Yesterday I took it out to test the new tailgate lock on a grocery trip, and then exercised the 4x4 functions as normal monthly process.
