What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

One sweet truck!!!

 

Installed 8112s over the weekend then took them off roading today for the first time and wow is all I can say

 

Took it out to some snow today.

 

Yes, some great explanations by fellow members here.

This concept was new to me as well. I’m old school. Last vehicle was a 2003 Pathfinder we owned for 15 years while our 2 kids were young. Auto car washes and few vacuums a year was all it got. Kids took all of my time. However, previous Toyota Truck that I had for 14 years I washed and waxed all the time. Used dish soap and Nu-Finish wax regularly. That was before kids and all the internet info available these days.

Reading lots of info here and many Youtube videos later I decided to try it. After spending a small fortune on this new truck I was determined to keep it looking good. Using proper techniques to keep the finish in nice shape as long as possible. Needless to say I don’t use dish soap anymore. All quality products and proper techniques. I find I quite enjoy it as its an escape mentality. One thing I never skimped on over the years was regular maintenance on all my vehicles. They never left me stranded. Pathfinder looked crappy some times but was always in good shape mechanically.

 

I wasn't getting much Ka-band falsing driving in WY/CO/UT/AZ. The latest update from Valentine Research has, however, taken it down a notch from those low levels. JBV1 turns it into a whole 'nother animal, too.

 

Got my Tundra Rack in. It was a beast.

 

Finally pulled the plug and bought a Pro grill from Yotaverse for my 2020 OR. Looks great. I think they look so much beefier than the stock grill. No pics since it looks just like all the rest.

 

Is that a direct bolt on? Or does it require some modification?

 

Got the lady a CRV. really nice.

 

It does require modification. It's almost a bolt on.

 

I'm hearing people are liking CRV over RAV4.

 

Now that's beautiful pic you rarely see.

 

Unless she thinks you're doing it wrong then look out

 

New shoes today. Method 703's with Falken Wildpeak's 265/70/17

 

Just upgraded to the KDmax 9 tune.
I had OV2 tune for just over 2 years and it was miles better than stock. But still had some occasional engine surging and the throttle could have been a little better.
In the 20 miles I have driven I feel the KDmax was worth the upgrade over OV, the throttle response is better and the low end power is better.
Though if you were coming from a stock tune it would blow your mind how much better the truck preforms.

 

Fully installed in my Taco. When the shit goes sideways, I'm pulling to see what happens next.

 

Getting the geometry dialed in.

 

Roof rack gang - check those bolts and seals.. Happy New Year!

 

I added a sleeping platform to my DIY Bed slide. I also found plano boxes (two in the picture at Bass Pro) in green and black to match the truck. I will be able to get six of them in. Attachment points for them are next as they have wheels

 

Finished detailing today. Vacuumed the inside and applied 303.
