What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i wasn't really all that impressed with the black friday sales this year.

was watching sdhq for the hidden winch mount, but it was 10% off, which mostly just covers shipping.

 

Well it seems KTJO4x4 is making a comeback. I ordered the B-pillar handles last year (early 2021) and instead received the driver's side handle. After not responding for months, I installed the driver's side handle and ended up loving it. Looks like they have a V2 that's even better now, too. But anyway, they emailed me two weeks ago to ask if I still wanted the B-pillar handles, and even though I was annoyed, they said they wanted to make it better and sent them for free and I got them like 5 days later. Finally installed the handles before Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law was thrilled because she loves riding in the truck but has trouble getting in and helped me pay for them. She also can't get down into my wife's Camry because it's too low and she gets stuck, so it's up to me when she wants to go places with us. She tested them out and gave them a thumbs up because now she can hold onto lots of things to get in and out of the back seat and she liked how they looked original. Here's how they look.

My review is that they are 4/5 stars. As usual with KTJO, some of the hardware is a bit sus. One of the screws for the top stripped out right away as I tightened it into the rivnut, but luckily I have a glut of random machine screws and one of them was the same size and thread but a little longer AND counter-sunk. So I think my screw is better. The passenger side included hardware didn't strip out so I left it as is but I know I have my backup screws if needed. They work great and feel firm in the direction you would pull to get into the car. But feel wobbly when you wiggle them left to right but I was able to hang off of them and pull myself up like a little monkey and reach the roof rack. So all in all, pretty good upgrade for passengers, especially when the truck gets higher in the future.

 

sees like everybody gets a heritage grill with raptor lights, sema wheels, a $30 gas cap cradle, color coordinated nipple rings on every corner and a yoda sticker

 

Got myself a pro grille off of marketplace. Brand new for $100 with amber raptor lights. Got the grille on, raptor lights will go on tomorrow! The irony with the comment above haha!

 

Now just get rid of that useless plastic air dam!!

 

Tomorrow!

 

Nice! Where’d you find the deals on bilsteins?

 

I have no idea why Toyota put those on there anyways. It’s not like you save gas at all with it being on lol

 

The clears look the best on MGM.

Same, I wanted a set of their ditch light mounts and battery terminals, but the shipping nuked the savings.

 

Yes. I bought some eye bolts and ran them through the holes on the four tie downs on the track to raise them just over the top of the bed sides.

 

Did you file down any of the edges for the OE Aux Tray where the wires pass through on either side of the fuse panel? I am wondering only because I wanted to know if yours came filed down or not. Nice setup!

 

What heated seats do you have?

 

No. But I was thinking of adding grommets or something.

 

I got them from Clazzio when I ordered the covers.

 

Just got my license plate for the new truck so a proper license plate frame was in order. First official "mod"

 

Good choice. Nice frame with the bonus of it not covering any of the plate so as not to attract the attention of the local constabulary

 

I just clicked "Submit Order" for some RCI sliders at 20% off. I'll drive up and pick them up in a month or two.

 

Sold my Predator Steps.

 

The places I ordered from was free shipping plus 15% off. So a win for me.
