What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just something little. Had a local powder coating shop hook up my OEM front recovery hook.

 

New wheels today!
Before and after:

 

Drove to the in-laws to camp for a few nights.

 

Its been a long day.. gonna finish up and clean it up tomorrow


Check out my ig story @4x4slowcoma

 

Hubba hubba!! New King 2.5’s with adjusters from accutune came in today. Going to 88 rotors on Wednesday and getting front and rears installed along with 285/75/16’s. Will post again with everything installed!

 

Put on the stubby bumper, mounted the winch and light bar. Did the weight reduction hack off the fender line mod too lol. Plastidip the grille and install the "scoop" light sometime this weekend and I think the front end will be done.

Don't mind the rope to the winch line, can't find my split ring pliers to save my life...kids.

 

Grill lights. Big thanks to @daveeasa for the plug and play harness! Made the install a breeeeeze.

Mine was $8. I use it daily

 

Not a LED enthusiast, but these little amber LEDS make the side markers pop. Still styling the 2nd Gen DRL’s with some side flare!

 

Installed some Diode Dynamics Elite series fogs

 

No splicing of any lines. You would remove the USB port from the panel. Keep it plugged into the factory harness. Plug the male end of the extension to the factory USB that is now behind the dash. I used electrical tape so that it won't wiggle loose. Now run the female end of the extension to inside the glove box. You will be cutting a spot for it. I have mine on the left side of the glove box. Really, with the extension you could run it any where that is out of site and easier than routing the cable to the glove. Endless options with the extension.

I feel like I should mention that if you don't currently have Apple Car Play the wireless adaptor will not work. I could be wrong here but, I think it will only work for 2020 and up, maybe 2019 and up. I have a 2017 so I did this work for nothing and I have a wireless adaptor thats been sitting on my desk for a year.

Like those removable plates. Don't remember seeing those before. Is that a new thing.

Good stuff Unfortunately Toyota changed the size of the USB port on newer Tacos, so I’m searching for something to fill that hole if I relocate it to the glovebox. More here.
