What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It seems as though there is slightly less lag time when I hit the gas. My MPGs are better but that is most likely due in part to summer gas vs winter gas. Overall I'm neither disappointed or amazed but it was a $40 CAD mod and I'd do it again.

 

I just cut a slot in the bedrug

 

this is definitely way easier then you’d expect. stealth port involves the head unit and removing the expedition essentials accessory mount i have installed. the center console come apart really easily.

 

i’ve previously installed a usb port in the back of the center console for the back seat and ran dedicated wires for it from an auxiliary fuse box so when i installed this i just tapped into those wires. but tapping into the cigarette lighter would've been just as easy.

 

Yep, stock TRD OR suspension.

 

I’ve got the RAM mounts on my dash and the stealth port took like 6 minutes haha. Most of which was trimming the plastic to comfortably fit wires between.

 

Or you can get a plunger switch. Lights come on with hood open, go off when hood closed.
Switches the ground side. White cap is my addition. They come in a pack of five from that big river company.

 

Nice Job on the install, I wish i could tint the light in that cubby to red, maybe a red sheer sticker

 

i can send you the pieces that came out of my bed holes so you can use them as a template to cut them into your truck to install the lights. you just have to check behind your tail light if you have the extra wire attached to the truck that they plug into.

 

where exactly did you install the washers as mine does that too every so often and its driving me nuts.

 

Nice work, where did you get the bed pocket for the drivers side of the bed, easy install?

 

Looks great I'm glad I went with 0 offset as well (17x8.5). It fills out the fenders nicely.

 

Got the OTT, thanks to ADV4x4, you can definitely feel the extra torque

 

Nice to see another Richmond Taco! Great looking truck BTW.

 

Yeah was pretty easy all things considered, just the looming fear of breaking an interior trim tab and finding a tidy spot for the excess wire, but it all went back together fine. PLUS I found my 10mm hiding in the trim that’s been missing since I installed the remote starter haha.

that cubby came stock on the earlier 3rd gens. Not sure why they disco’d it but it does gather water and road grime. I put a little weather stripping in there to minimize it.

 

It depends on what grill you have. The pro style grill should have 3 bolts holding the sensor, 2 on the sides and 1 on top. My grill has 4 bolts that hold the tss in place.
I took my face plate off and put an angle finder on the sensor to see if it was pointing up or down. It had an upward angle so I put washers on the bottom screws to aim it down.

What I have read, people just put one washer at a time until it stops giving errors, mine seemed better after just one washer.

Toyota should be able to recalibrate properly. From my understanding the recalibration is just telling the sensor what areas to pay attention to since the sensor has a very wide field of view.

 

This is the Way.

You can get it off ebay but it used to be standard until.. 2019? 2020? No clue why they took it away.

 

Are those stock steel rims? If not, what kind are they? I really like the look. Do you have any photos of the truck from the side with them? Thanks.

 

Just saw they are steelies off an FJ. I would still like to see a full photo if you have one. Thanks.

 

Thanks! And I agree! That stance just looks that much better!
