What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If you’re regearing I’d do atleast 4.88’s, I have factory 4.30’s and wish I had lower gears when I ran 255/80’s

 

Mocked up some rear interior lights. I'm using the VLEDs rear footwell kit that come with a four foot extension. I haven't measured the cable length required, but I'm almost positive I'll need more than what came with the kit. I'm liking the mock up so far, but I have a few other options I want to try out when I get to installing my Goose Gear rear seat delete (which should hopefully be this weekend!)

 

It’s a old biker expression. Meaning out an about or off to work.

 

Nice and accessible. Very nice

 

I think I used an extra 4ft extension and everything else was in the front and rear kits.

 

Can you share any details on the block and pan heater (model, where purchased, etc?). Thanks!

 

This is the block heater, you need to shave off a little bit of the side where the plug goes so it clears the transmission.

This is the oil pan heater, fits perfect on the little steal part of the oil pan that hangs down.

Then I used this outlet under the hood. Lets me plug in the truck at night, then 30 minutes before I plan to leave I just push the on button on the remote and the two heaters turn on.

I got everything from the links, but the block heater I got from autozone down the street from me, then the outlet I picked up at menards down the street also.

 

that fire extinguisher ? ouch? RIP

 

Do your racks sit flush with each other? I have a Leer and my cap rack sits about a 1/4 inch higher than the cab rack. The install looks great on your rig!!!

 

i am giving away all the leaves in my yard, come and get em before someone else

 

Today I installed a KTJO grab handle version1. Wasn't too bad to install took a lot of patience to line up the bolts. Since October One I have had the 2022 Limited
1. Installed hood struts
2. The A/C hose mod
3. Placed some dynamat under the hood since Toyota doesn't come with hood insulation.

 

Yeah I agree fire extinguishers should be mounted on the floor or sidewall of the cab
Good luck finding a place. I was gonna mount one but with an access cab my options are few if any

 

Ive had this one for years

Those Rokons are sick. 2wd chain driven, they can get you to so many places in the woods. Many years ago they were way cheaper. That new price tag is steep.

 

This.

I can't believe more people don't complain about the fit of these rings. After test fitting them on the bench & seeing the poor fit I decided to just paint the chrome rings black & reinstall those. Sold the MESO rings on here.

I'm not knocking all MESO stuff, I have a bunch, just the vent rings.

 

Thanks!

 

I enjoy the fact that i am not the only one that uses masking tape to protect the surface i am working on. Also makes it really easy to see any marks you make when trying to layout an area for a drill hole, etc. Just remember on interior plastic pieces, if you armor-all or any protectant, the tape is NOT going to stick!

 

Depending on the item or the company, Made in Mexico is usually about 100x better than made in China. I try to always buy Made in the USA, but being in a world economy makes it tough, or really expensive.
Working as an auto-supplier for the first half of my life, Mexico's quality was almost always hands down better than China. Chinese products have their place i guess, but a lot of the Mexican companies are US owned as opposed to the Chinese communist(state) owned companies.

 

When you don’t want stuff sliding around

 

I spent the weekend installing the Katzkin kit I got from @jhuey8947. I went with Black wrap, Raven Suedezkin (perforated) body, Blue Barracuda wings, and Cobalt stitching. It looks great with the Voodoo Blue. It was hard work - my hands are sore and shredded, but I don't mind a little sweat equity. I wouldn't ever want to do it again, but I think it looks great. Not bad for a girl, huh?
