What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you install both cushion and back pads? Because that's impressive to tie together and then run to the console, considering how the rears fold.

My back seat passengers are dogs, so they'll get nothing and like it. Even the driver's floor vent is blocked by a subwoofer.

 

Some simple stuff today. During my oil change, I figured out I can use the access panel for oil filter to help keep oil from dripping down the skid plate when removing the filter housing...I hate making a mess. Finished up the AuxBeam AR-800 install (haven't hooked anything up to it yet, stickers are just to block the light) using a switch plate from R4T. Added some Christmas lights to the Diamondback...cheesy, but I like it.

 

Flexed on a Ranger for team Toyota

 

Power tailgate is done… next few mods will be things I have to pay someone else to do (Tint and Tune) so done wrenching for a bit.

 

Looks like you won that battle!

 

Paint for the truck, bumper or light?

 

Changed the oil on my TRD off road for the first time this afternoon. 1400 miles. Oil looked pretty good, but honestly a little worse than I was expecting. Filter looked good at first glance. At second glance, sure enough, quite a few little metallic bits in the filter creases. Glad I changed early and installed a magnetic drain plug.

 

new grill

 

I bought a touch up pen from my local Toyota dealership…seems like a good item for smaller stuff like rock chips and what not. I haven’t had an opportunity to use it as I live in Washington State and I haven’t had dry weather yet.

 

Big kid cup holders

 

I've also used the Toyota touch up paint from the dealer for my other Toys and it matches perfectly. That little bottle is intended for chips and scratches and it brushes on so if you have larger areas or want it super smooth I don't think that will cut it. Although I have not used these products, I've seen spray paint called DupliColor at auto parts stores and have seen others advertised. Fortunately I've never had a large area to paint.

I just checked the touch up paint for my 4Runner. It is a 1/2 ounce bottle. Just for dings.

 

Recently traded out my '13 PreRunner SR5 DCSB (4 cyl/RWD) for a '19 TRDOR DCLB. Doing a fair amount of cosmetic/basic shit to start:

*Bed Liner, Seat Covers, Interior LED Lights, Running Boards, and random interior swag is done (for now).
*Rounding out red/dark red trim and highlights in some spots to offset the MBM. Should be finished in the next week.
*Next up is scheduling the KDMAX tune, and I'll go from there...

 

I'll ask about that next time I buy. Thanks!

 

...just got a new 2022 SR5 and immediately swapped out the SR/SR5 grill with the TRD Sport/OR grill. I think the sr/sr5 grill is a cheap look as compared to any of the other trim grills. The Sport/OR grill really enhances the appearance of the SR5.

 

Yes, both seats and backs. Definitely a pain. Would maybe consider doing it in the summer if I had to. One issue I have with Black Friday sales is that I don't want to install in the winter since my truck does not fit in the garage. So stuff has to sit until March if I get a deal. 1st World problem of course.

 

No, I really have to dedicate some solid time without interruption and do one. The whole thing. From bumper to bumper. To answer your question, I don't really know it just kinda, happened, I suppose. It's like one morning I get up to frolic thru my day and then I see all this insanity and I ask myself, should I be seeing a counselor for whatever my other half is doing or should I just send him and continue leading a normal life? It's at this point I realized asking myself this question, out loud, in line at a store with people nervously backing away, that I do in fact need a counselor. That, right there, is how my poor truck has ended up with more than 50% of anything factory removed and interior being redecorated. Glad ya asked?

 

I wrote to them the other day, they mentioned they are having supplier issues, guess their fabrication shop is slow.

 

Did you get it to stay adhered? I’ve tried everything short of giving up on the tape and super gluing it.

 

Dug through my old climbing gear, and did the chalk bag water bottle holder. Gonna go back and seemed out some material to allow the panels to fit back together a little tighter

 

The chalk bag has to be my favorite dumb mod. It has surprisingly come in handy more often than I care to admit.
