What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

looks great and post more photos of your truck! Those trimmed fenders lead me to believe you’ve got a serious build!

 

Been awhile

 

Installed a 4WP Bumper, Harbor Freight Badlands Apex 12K Winch, Napa 2x2 in Bumper Lights and Cali Raised LED Ditch Lights. I will be wiring everything up on Sunday and posting in the Show off your Aux Fuse Panel thread in Lighting forum.

I was able to install this solo using my Big Red ATV / Motorcycle lift. Do not attempt an install alone unless you have a hoist, transmission lift, or something similar. I'm stoked to feel the ride on my OME 886s now that I have more static weight up front.

 

I laughed way to hard at this.

 

I do have an Origin 135, but it's more of a courier. My main shuttle craft is the C8X Pisces Expedition, with a Freelancer as a heavy hauler (after I lost my M2 herc with the reset). Though once it's received, it's getting swapped for the A2 Spirit. Sooo....more of a Crusader fan.

 

Thank you! I have a total of 4 sets of lights on my truck from you guys.

Fogs, Light bar, Ditch lights, and now installing the S2 pods as chase lights

 

Purple ?!?!!!

 

Jelly myself! Been eyeing a TRD skid for a while maybe next year lol

 

Hahaha no it was just the lighting

 

Was gonna say, a dark purple would look awesome

 

I’m about to pull the trigger on one too. I do not intend to skid on it but do go places where I probably will hit it. Beat the crap out of my 4Runner’s without intending too. So I want more than the thin one that came on the truck. I go off road for hiking, exploring, and camping but nothing too hard; I don’t have the mods or mechanical expertise to do the mods.

Right now I’m comparing the TRD pro OEM and the RCI. OEM tucks under the truck really nicely, RCI is probably more rugged and I can get it in black. I have the RCI sliders so I’m leaning toward RCI (15% off right now).

 

I have the OTT now. Originally had the KD Max which I thought was satisfactory like 6/10. Did the OTT and HUGE difference from my standpoint like I can be doing 80 or 90 on the fwy with no problem. Truck totally feels different for me

I agree super hard with this. Went from the KDmax to the OTT what a huge freaking difference. The OTT is leaps and bounds better.

 

Nothing fancy... just license plate and bed LEDs.

 

Can confirm... even at 6' 0"

 

What lift did you put on there. That’s nice.

 

Same (6'-1")

 

Finally got around to installing the external antenna for the weboost. I have the overland model with the adjustable/folding mount which is very nice and holds the antenna firmly at 90°/135°/180°. I couldn’t use the t-slot hardware that came with it because it’s too wide for my Caliraised roof rack but I had some threaded t-nuts that I was able to use to mount up the antenna.

My only real complaint is the included antenna arm holding bracket. It’s not really needed but they could have designed it better. First, it’s plastic and I’m sure it’ll become brittle with constant UV exposure. Second, it grips the antenna too tightly and you have to really put some force to get it loose. Third, it’s one fixed height and designed to be used in the t-slot but again it’s too wide for my rack’s t-slot. I think they could have improved it by making it out of aluminum, adding a spring assist to hold and release the antenna mast, making it a threaded rod where we could adjust the height at which it grips the antenna and finally by just giving it a threaded base for use with our own t-nuts. But just my two cents.

Overall I like it so far. I just did a driveway test but I do have poor reception there. Went from -106 to -102 with the booster off to -94 to -92 with the booster on. No oscillation issues and I’m happy with the antenna positions so far. I’m going to wait to final mount the internal antenna until I can get a true test out in a very low reception area.


-empty position patiently awaiting a puddle switch kit restock from MESO

-wiring running to the amplifier under the driver seat

-just going to leave the internal antenna hanging for now until I decide this is where I want it
