What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oil change and transfer case oil change this morning.
This Harbor Freight pump made doing to transfer case super easy.



Im going to change the spark plugs tomorrow, I think.

 

I also love the looks of it. I'm surprised this doesn't come stock on the TRD Pro.

 

It doesn't?! The least they could do is have all the TRD parts on the Pro with that price tag..

 

I drilled into my dash and relocated the power/USB port so it was next to where I have my phone. Drilling into my dash is a whole kind of scary. The drill slipped a few times and made some gouges but all in all it went well except I wasn't paying attention to which way the USB port was facing.

 

BRO its all good man, Have yourself an awesome weekend, today is my friday, 3 more days of work next week, then i am off for 2 weeks. i am going to see James Taylor play on July 4th at Tanglewood in Lenox mass, and the rest of the time I am going to be relaxing in Narragansett Rhode island.

 

Does the little box directly above the tube serve any purpose at all ? I ask because i see a lot of people install them, and there is no box. Does the truck just get a little louder and have more horse power ?

 

It's the air intake resonator box. Dampens the noise and provides a space for air to expand a little. Stops something to do with pressure wave harmonics.

 

That’s what I thought too. I bought my TRD intake during one of Toyota’s parts sales. Then I sold the reusable filter to offset the cost a bit more.

 

I took this issue into account when I designed my BDRM and incorporated a dual USB port mount on the right side.

 

New shocks.

 

The biggest change is the amount of volume of air after the air filter. The fancy top has more volume available if you compare them.The intake tube is a straighter shot to throttle body. The resonator is smaller so it must effect air flow or the engineers would not have bothered. I and other have removed it. Other on this forum have also added an additional intake port to the air cleaner body BEFORE the airfilter. I understand that the throttle body can only take in so much air but the least restrictions and the easier to take in air all help. If nothing else it sound better.

 

I haven't looked into it too much but what did you use to cap after removing the resonator?

 

I used a 3.25 silicone tube that another member found on Amazon. You will hear the engine
at WOT but at cruise no additional noise.

 

It did seem to add gas mileage but I didn't keep good enough records to swear to it.

 

67 Designs Taco rail with their cf nano arm and Trackform 20Lite phone holder. Have 2 more trackballs too that didnt install yet

 

What happens if you take it out ?

 

Towers for the Yakima rack showed up and was able to get it all mounted….

 

I can't even get 300 miles a tank. Wtf

 

Added some stickers and bought some taco balls
