What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think it’s originally for a small water heater? I cut it down, bent it open more, and cut a spot for the strap to go through

 

What is the pool noodle mod?

Long time lurker on this thread. Lots of great info. Just put 35s on my taco thanks to all the info from y’all.

 

What did you get to make that bracket?

I need to make one like that and get a clasp latch that I can secure it with

 

Early morning bath and a bit of Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid.

 

Nice first post!

 

I use the Royal Purple as well

 

Drove it 1500 miles, Toronto to Miami.
Now can someone tell me where to get a roof rack installed up in these parts?

 

Nice beef and welcome to TW!!

 

I went the other way, left side to center console but it's essentially the same. Fairly easy if you have a harness already. I used the harness here https://kabowest.com/#63fd0797-1577-4130-931a-b0f01527435d. I forget who runs the shop, but he's on the forums here. Just pop out the climate controls and go in from the top to pop out your switch. I wouldn't really recommend trying to remove the plate holding all the center switches in because it requires a lot of the dash being removed. You can reach in from above and pop it out. Then attach the harness and move it to where you want.

 

Not sure specifically, but you might find something on the FL Hometown forum

Thanks. I’ll look into it. I have an access cab so I don’t have the room behind the rear seats like the double cabs do. I have to put my sub under one of the front seats. I figured tapping into the rear speaker wires would be the easiest. I know that they are under powered that’s why I was going with the amp/sub combo, in a small foot print.

 

Bought off Amazon a while back, I think its originally meant to hold a small hot water tank. I cut it and made it work for the propane tank

 

Ahh, yes, I did this a few weeks ago. It was pretty easy to do. I tied a rope to one end of the pool noodle. Fed it up through the drivers side about six inches at a time and pulled it with the rope from the passengers side. By the time I had it perfectly in place the noodle broke where I had the rope tied to it. Ended up being a perfect placement. I did before and after db measurements at 70 mph on the freeway. It was good for about 3 or 4 db’s but it felt like a lot more. I’ve also sound deadened my roof, doors and back wall with Noico type stuff and Frost King duct insulation. All in I’d say it’s a huge improvement over stock. Now, the main source of noise on the freeway is wind against the side mirrors and A pillars. I’ll do my floors in the next couple of weeks and see how that works out.

 

They should have a YouTube video for this

 

Just curious, what was the dB range at 70 mph now? What sound meter did you use?

 

I'd recommend tapping into the front speakers instead. Rear speakers have practically no signal running to them, you'd be cranking the gain way up to compensate.

Not sure if the RF sub has a built in line converter (for high-level input, aka speaker line tap) but if not, get one. I might recommend that anyway since it's so much easier to feed one stereo RCA cable instead of two speaker wires across the cab.

 

Who doesn't love replacement LED dome lights?

 

I like the vent shades, WeatherTech? Do you like them?
