What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did a retrofit with the OEM toyota headlights. Used dyiode dynamic halos and morimoto mleds.

 

Appreciate that.

 

ok but if you see a car trying to back out do you just ram them?

 

it would be impossible for a person to shove that in the tread, if its not leaking its fine

 

it would have to go through 4 steel belts and it didnt

 

They're 17x8.5 with 0 offset wrapped in 265/70/17 KO2's, and they rub when they're flexed in a turn. Like coming into my driveway is a small ramp and it rubs every time. On the road though I've never had any issues with any turning. Offroad would for sure rub, but I have a lift at home, I just have to find the time to throw it on one weekend

EDIT: I should note that the nose of the truck is dipped down quite a bit from the bumper & winch. I don't think it would be too bad if it weren't for all of the additional weight up there. Currently on stock suspension.

 

Picked up a new camper shell today!

 

I really like that little flip down cover over the start/stop button. Where did you get that?

 

That beats bags of loose dog shit packed in front of the tires, but the dog shit is what I'm dealing with. Hazards of entitlement-infested suburbia.

It seems that a neighbor doesn't like that we secured recycling and compost bins after said lazy shit (see what I did there?) was trespassing to illegally dump their dog poo in them rather than taking it home to their own trash, like a good dog owner. This really sucks for the recycling sort crews, and possibly for the folks who pick up the parasites in their garden produce from the dog poo compost, if we don't catch the "gift" before pickup day.

Police officer (who wheels too) wants to get fingerprints off the next bags, and has suggested adding/repositioning cameras. Might get embarassing if they don't stop.

 

That appears to be this one...

Found that same utility knife blade stuck in just like that in my tire about 20 years ago so yeah its possible. And although it didn't go through I replaced it & hope to never see it again.

 

Oh that’s just biological terrorism. Seen that issue here in suburbia as well. Nobody was chocking tires, but the disposal issue. People also like to continue to fill public receptacles well past the load limit, and create a pile on the side. Which disallows the garbage collectors from the pick up and then they have to request for a manager to assist the removal. Some people.

 

I have a sign posted in my front yard, that reads "If your dog craps in my yard, the owner of this house will crap in your yard." I posted it 4yrs ago, right after I moved in. I had issues with random dog(s) crapping in my yard. Now? No dog craps in my yard. Just the occasional squirrel.

 

I cant tell if this battery is a Sealed AGM or not. If it is a lead acid battery, make sure to vent it outside of the cab. Looks like a solid install

 

Completed my power fold mirror project and added a VLEDS rear backup light.

That location and position bothered me as well.

 

Looks awesome!

 

The VLED brake bar is pretty nice as well

 

Why? seems well secured and oriented safely... I just don't like the idea of a lead acid battery inside the cab.

 

Got an estimate for parts & labor repairs $8400 (that’s including my $1k deductible)

right now my insurance is stating 50-50 responsibility. However, I’m trying to obtain a high quality video of him on his phone / when he cut through the back parking lot.

main parts:
new box composite bed (~2k)
New rear painted passenger bed panel; fender flare; mud flap
New tailgate
A little dent in the cab (see picture)
Taillight (meso aftermarket)
Bumper components (OEM)

who knows how long it’ll all take with ordering parts with the supply chain the way it is. I guess we shall see.
Sorry to be that guy flooding this thread lately.
