What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I remember jacking keys (read: found tucked into the visor) to a backhoe when I was a kid and getting it stuck like this. Ended up having a wrecker to come out and pull it out, at least that's what I heard. Didn't stick around to find out......

 

stealership indeed, seat covers are normally just a few hundred dollars retail and they don't look good. I have katzkin leather seat surface replacement and heated ventilated front seats all parts and labor done for like $3.9k.

 

Friday 10k milestone hit today. Nope, it's not going to the dealer service.

 

What the haaaaallllleeeee

 

How does the ventilation work and where is the switch?

 

The bottom and back portions of the seats are perforated, there are fans that suck air into the seats.
Locations of the switches are totally up to you, I let the installer use his best judgment and here they are in the center console area

 

another option is to take the lock cylinder out and have it powder coated...

 

Great location!

 

love the color of the seat covers and the switch location is dope!!

Removed my front plate in preparation for the front bumper guard tomorrow. Toyota really said fuck it on installing the front license plate plastic bracket…


Got an extra set of hands willing to thread the bolts so it should go quick. More pictures tomorrow.

 

First time seeing this seat cover in this color. Definitely blends well with the exterior.

 

Have you found that your AC blows any colder in the conditions you mentioned?

As I’m remembering back to my VOTECH days refrigerant actually needs the difference in temperature to work properly - refrigerant has some strange properties. The expansion valve would be the area that it changes its state.

Curious if there is a noticeable change.

 

Oakland Athletics fan?

 

I was thinking Green Bay

 

That too. I bet it’s better odds of being Green Bay. My brain is in baseball season mode so the A’s popped in my head

 

Wild... I kinda like it

 

Baseball season waiting on football. Listening to Cubs vs. Giants now

 

Yeah was just watching the Astros beat up on my Mariners

 

Ordered RSG Sliders, flat w/grip top plate back in April. Just got them installed today. Was happy to get rid of the predator steps. Walking on egg shells anytime I took it out until I had the sliders! Pretty happy with them but I’m biased, they aren’t cheap and I have to defend money spent lol. I do like them, they are solid and still serve as a step. I still wanted a step after destroying the driver seat in my 2010 from sliding in and out in a lifted truck.

I’ve done so many mods to the truck and my bike in the last year myself, I just decided I wasn’t going another round with Murphy and his laws. Paid to have it installed in about 1.5 hrs. Had them drill/install the extra bolt just for a bit more strength. Not really needed but they offered to do it within the install price so what the heck, do it.

 

Wild color scheme. I like those fan vents too.
