What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Congrats!

 

Installed a CVT 55” awning on the Prinsu rack. Perfect size for my preference. Should be great along with the overhang of the extended annex on the RTT.




If anyone is looking for a good, cheap, awning these are going for $125 (originally $299) on the CVT website. I heard they’re discontinuing this model which is why they’re on such a crazy sale. It also has an LED light strip on it. They have this 55” and a 99” ($150) also.

And of course you had your rear axle up on jack stands because it would be inappropriate to take a pic of your dash driving at 68.
Ok, I admit to doing the same thing when my 4Runner turned over 200K

Congrats. Now your truck is fully broken in. Time to stretch its legs.

 

I'm a retired cop...so nope. I'd hope my brothers and sisters in blue/brown would have better things to do...but there's always "that guy" in every profession.

 

Perfect fit! Looks great!

 

these photos are making me consider one more now, especially at that price. Looks great!

 

I bolted up the ARB twin to the desert does it seat mount. Then I picked up a couple add a fuse taps (hopefully I got the right ones) and some 14 awg to extend the wires to the fuse panel/battery. I still need to order some 10 awg to extend the main harness to the battery, an extended fuse cover and probably more tesa tape. The Auxbeam AR-800 is waiting on a power tray before it can be installed. Also, waiting on selective yellow SS3 Pro ditch lights. It's slowing coming together though.

 

i think you expertly evaded the question!

all that radio gear indicates you've got a little more wherewithal than you say, and the ziptied radio adapter indicates you're more industrious than you think as well!

 

Nice setup. I’m only running one Fuse Tap and I stuck with the same type (low profile) as the OEM fuses. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I like these. I ordered off eBay.




And it’s nice having the meso Extended Fuse Cover when it comes to adding the Fuse Taps.

 

Thanks! I like those low profile taps. Amazon has them along with the 10 awg I need.

 

Perfect

 

What's your plan for wiring up the compressor? Are you going to use the AuxBeam instead of the ARB switch but still use their relay or are you going to straight to the Auxbeam or not use the AB all together? I ask because I have the AuxBeam AR-800 as well, but a single compressor. Was thinking of just using the AB in place of the ARB switch...although I suspect the AB should be able to handle it. Curious to see what you come up with.

 

is it touching the rubber hoses?

 

I've been up to something! Let me know what y'll think about it. Still have lots to do and I want to take better pictures later

Out with the old.. For some reason I only got about 25k miles out of my SPC's before one of the ball joints started going bad. Hoping these Dobinson's last longer, they were too damn expensive!

 

Wrapped my tailgate to protect it from my next mod, a tailgate pad for my mtb

 

came out really good!

 

Thanks! The recessed letters were the hardest part with nowhere for the air to go so I had to poke release holes. The rest was a breeze tho!

 

Installed a Hooke Road tailgate insert I purchased during Black Friday. I was a little worried about getting one with misaligned holes but got lucky. Fits great.
