What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i love those anthracite SR5 rims! I wish i hadn’t gotten rid of mine- i think they look great with bfg’s or any other a/t tire. Next to the trd pros, those are my fav

 

Got the passenger side mostly done. Clean up the wiring and install them. The BiLed is functional with my wiring, and the switchbacks are working well. Such a long process for all of this. Time to finish the drivers side today hopefully.

 

Yes sir, don’t love the mount as it is an absolute puzzle piece to get in/out if you needed to do maintenance/repairs and there’s some wasted space near the fender that then pushes the manifold (separate silver tube inboard of the compressor) out over the exhaust more.

 

Bed step and bestop

 

I’ve got mine mounted with the manifold outboard of the compressor.

 

Yeah I don’t want to trust something that’s electronic like the BSM system all the time.

 

Wow, that’s way more low profile than the ARB. What’s the name of that one?

Today I prepped for a group31 battery install (replace filler neck with shorter one to not smack and break) and I installed rear sumo springs. Couldn’t get the front ones off so will put those on another day.

 

Does anyone have experience replacing this part? I broke one of the tabs off while removing my bumper a few months ago so now the bumper doesn't sit flush against the fender. After finally ordering the right part (I think) looking at it again, it seems like it could be a pain in the ass. Any insights would be appreciated. It is the drivers side bumper guide that sits under the bumper and fender and keeps everything snug.

 

I installed the DD SS3 Sport Fog Lights, and I spray painted the Toyota emblems on my TRD OR wheels in matte black.
That makes the look of them slightly more tolerable, and it matches the blacked out emblems throughout the truck.

 

Done. Just gotta install the assemblies and mount the LED drivers. Pushed thru for 5 hours today, running on 2 cups of coffee and 2 pibbs and pretty sure I need a massage now. I'm gonna go whack muh pud and eat a sammich.

 

Completely forgot about these! Glad they finally made it on!

 

New shifter! Got the Getta Grip shifter w/Vans grip. Had & learned to use teflon/thread tape so it would sit just perfect (had to use because it would not shift with the boot collar shoved all the way down) Totally recommend!

Working on a shower today. Water, pressure, paint and supports up next.

 

Gravity fed or are you going to pressurize it?

 

Change my oil and filter for the first time after obtaining a TRD skid plate. Went pretty well but it sure is tight getting to the filter housing. Also installed the driver side Builtright Industries molle panel.

 

I tried that but I’m utilizing the inboard most holes on the mount and the instructions claim the manifold goes on the inboard extension piece, so I didn’t fight it and I guess I missed how to achieve that…might redo it then. Thanks!

 

At the top front I have a screw cap. Plan to add a schrader valve I ordered to the cap. Hope it will hold around 30 psi. This is how I plan to fill the tube as well.

thinking the weak link will be wing nut clean out
plug at the end.

 

I had an unsuccessful attempt making the same sort of setup. Would only get a few seconds of pressurized feed before tapering off. But with how you have yours placed up high, you might have better luck. I hope so anyway.
