What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh, that's good to hear. Nothing looked rusted when I opened the tailgate.. slightly dusty tho. (We usually don't have to worry about rust here in Oregon -- as far as I know). I just ordered another actuator and we'll see how that holds up.

 

Neat! Wasn’t sure if that was somehow a water tank you made or a fly rod holder

 

Did the Subaru kicker tweeter swap today. Didn't get much of a chance to listen to it, but the little bit I did I'm not sure it was worth it..

Edit: I think it took a couple days but they broke in on something and now they sound much better.

 

Oh man I felt like audio was a lot more crisp. I think if you listen to podcasts you’ll really see the difference but on music I felt like lyrics were a lot more clear. It won’t boost mids and bass like the front doors might though

 

i would figure out what size/threads are used, and definitely run a thread chaser/tap through that before re-installing. most local auto parts stores will rent out thread chaser kits.

 

They don’t seem cheap at all. You need to get up close to notice they’re not real. It’s the best ‘mod’ I’ve done so far, and a great placeholder until I get new wheels/tires.

 

I was hoping you’d say that. Thanks for the info. I’ll be ordering one of them now.

 

Which setting did you go with? I have mine at medium/spicy, but am thinking of dropping it down to mild/medium for a little more control when taking off in crowded parking lots and things like that.

 

I installed the Meso Puddle lights in my mirrors, I really like. I've done a lot of car wiring and getting those connectors through those rubber tunnels leading to the doors was no joke. I found the secret weapon though. Toyota should have included this on the truck from the factory. I like'em.

 

You are supposed to reveal the secret weapon too.

 

I want to see how it looks when those lights are angled toward the side mirrors.

 

Pretty bad I imagine. They are fixed so you can’t angle them.

 

Would love to know. I have those on my bench ready for install just not ready to install since working up the gumshoe knowing it’s a commitment to patience

 

Gumshoe is a detective. It’s gumption you are looking for.

 

Mounted a prinsu cab rack

 

I used the J-hook end on my Klein electricians fiberglass fish stick for running AC wiring. I put the connector centered in the j-hook and black taped it together to stay in position while fishing it through. The picture is a Ideal industries version for reference. The j-hook is not as big as the pic makes it look.

Even gumshoe is better than impertinence and piss-and-vinegar, which I am full of.

 

So, for 100 bucks, i like it. Keeps crap in place, is as wide as i wanted.

 

key didnt work?

 

Got the water port mounted today. A bit worried about dynamic load - anyone run into any issues?
