What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice setup, enjoy it.

 

Those look good! I’ve seen the American flag colors on a black truck in person, never seen the black and grey version though

 

That’s how mine is but I’m debating on taking theV6 off entirely to clean up the tailgate

 

Manual seats?

 

That's a really nice setup. Enjoy the adventures!!

 

Electric

 

@ITmaD nice touch, subtle but very attractive looking grill. Definitely more rugged looking.

 

What size water heater and who's and what size box
thanks

 

I ended up finding them on https://parts.elmhursttoyota.com/ and I paid $230.75 a piece which was a steal compared to what my local dealer quoted me, even still after I paid for shipping. I also got the TRD center caps from Elmhurst for $27.50 a piece.

 

I think by "transformer" you mean a DC-DC converter (in case someone didn't want to go the battery route).
Something like the following (available via Amazon) which you adjust using a voltmeter to achieve the output voltage needed by the sender unit given a constant 12V input source.

I don't think the battery current draw would be much. Only possible issue could be if one of these converters creates significant radio frequency interference ("hash") that negatively impacts WiFi and/or BT and/or SirrusXM and/or AM/FM.
Pretty inexpensive to try it though.

Another option, more expensive of course, is to get a mirror replacement with the built-in transmitter. I believe they exist too.

 

I am about 5'10", and have a lower back issue. I'd try something like this, but I have difficulty getting into the seat to begin with because of how low the steering wheel sits and the way I have to get into the truck. Jacking the back of the seat could help entry and exit, but would be worse for my back, and no thanks, don't want to feel like I'm sliding forward.

 

A week ago I ordered a set of chinese knock off seat jacks from amazo for a sale price of $15 canadian shipped. Worth a test to see if they work for me when and if they arrive.

 

A very inexpensive but useful "add-on" that improves managing items picked up at the home improvement store, or grocery store... (discounted today)!

Nice and clean. Can't bring myself to remove the TRD stickers though. Dunno why.

 

Ceramic window tint. Down to +/- 20% all the way around.

Well sitting in a hotel and pulled the trigger. Ordered the TRD Trail edition grill. Been wanting for a while and was a fair price online at Daytona Toyota plus free shipping. Hopefully will install next week.

 

Clever!!

 

I feel the same way. I removed them from my 2nd gen right away but I'm hesitant for my new truck.

 

Dang. I fill up every three days

 

Thank you, just ordered.
