What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bumpershellz in textured black. Went back and forth deciding between matte and textured - I wanted the best match to the rest of the bumper. Went with textured and very happy it matches perfectly.

Now THAT was f'ing humorous! I needed that today. It's been that kind of week.

 

TPO is what I went with on my Tundra for front and rear.

 

ECGS Bushing. I wish I had read all of the write-ups here before installing the lift. I would have done it all at once. As it happened, I installed the lift, noticed the vibration on the test drive and figured it was an alignment issue. Had it aligned and the vibration persisted. Then, I started searching the forum.

 

This ...

 

That's about how it went down for me. I knew about it but since I had a new truck I didnt think it would be much of an issue...

 

Off to a great start! Welcome to TW.

 

Sounds like a page out of my book. Hind sight. I believe I can do the lift myself, just not sure about tackling the ECGS. Would like to do it all at once but not sure it will play out that way. Maybe I can get a hand locally to help. Something else to look into.

 

This are back-lit versions right? Do the knobs fit that far off the infotainment screen surface or do you have them artificially pulled out some?

 

Yes they are backlit. That one sticks out like that because it’s the power button so it has room to press for power on/off.

 

Changed my oil and spark plugs 2017 170k miles

 

Deleted chrome bumpers today with Bumpershellz. Looks so much better on my MGM. Blackout is complete until I do headlights and tailights.

 

The bumper caps really change the look in my opinion. I would also look into getting different taillights without the chrome inside. Really completed the appearance.

 

I have to disagree with you. I have the inserts and I think it’s a nice subtle touch. Still looks way better.

 

17" 0 Offset tiers are 265 70 i actually have them on atm but havnt taken a photo yet as i still need to wash my truck XD ill be posting it up this weekend after i clean it.

Spoiler alert they looks sexy AF! Atlest i think so lol

 

I tackled the lift by myself in my driveway. It was tough. It was just me. Looking back, I would have finished waaaaay sooner if I had gotten some help. If I change my suspension down the road, I'll definitely have help. The bushing was no where near as bad, in my opinion. It was a little nerve-racking making sure pieces of the bearing didn't fall back into the case, but the videos out there on removal and installation are really good. I bought the removal tool, not the installation tool. I felt the removal tool was worth it. The space is limited. Installing the bushing was a lot like installing a pinion seal on a rear end. It was as expected: a pain but nothing I hadn't done before. Whatever you decide to do, good luck!

 

Oh cool. Would you mind posting a pic, and where you got your letters? I'm not opposed, but I haven't seen them on MGM. If I do it, I'll have to splurge and get the chrome delete for the raised letter emblems.

 

So, yesterday I installed the anytime front camera and the decal on the sensor cover thing. Well, I did some of the install but my S/O soldered the wires. I guess I ordered the one you have to solder wires to but luckily someone in my household was handy and had the tools already lol.

I mounted it on a bracket I got from @mdh_us and it made the mounting part super easy. I really liked the holes were pre drilled for the grill mount annd the hole I had to drill myself for camera placement/preference.

Since I had to remove the grill anyway, I finally decided it was a good time to place the decal on the Toyota logo that I got from c_mento_taco_808 about a year ago. I accidentally broke one of tabs on it but superglued it back.

Overall, it was kind of a struggle the front camera kit but got it done. And here’s a picture to show.

I think next, I’ll get around to installing the shift knob I got from @oostroma in the near future. I just procrastinate A LOT.
