What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had some farm Ford Gray laying around
It’s a little lighter than I wanted, but kinda looks cool. Think I’d rather go for a aluminum finish like the one I plan on getting eventually
Maybe I’ll just go grab some silver metallic to get it closer to my SSM paint.

Also, I put in an order for a TacoGarage TRD Pro grille using their garnish as well. Can anyone vouch for the quality and the garnish’s colors? Most aftermarket garnish’s are waaay off and too bright.

Where did these come from?

 

That's a good tip, thanks! How long did it take for the shop to complete the work? The guy who hit me tried to leave too. What is with people? He also tried to say it was my fault, lol. I was like, bro I was completely at a stand still and you hit me.

 

Yeah, me too. That sucks man, I feel your pain. Geico is handling the claim.

 

RVA = Richmond, Virginia

 

Today is washing day ! Then check over my front windshield, as I got a few rock hits yesterday !! See if there is any damage !

The company i work for has a deep discount pro deal with Thule so I got everything from them. Excellent quality and really easy to install. The side bar kit is for a different rack but they fit this rack perfect, no modifications others than drilling, and installing rivnuts on the TracONE's vertical posts.

I installed an OE Trail Edition grill on ours but I wasn't going to pay Toyota's insane TSS garnish price. After some good reviews here, particularly about how it closely matched the color of the OE garnish, I bought . Although it's probably not quite as dark as the OE garnish I like how it looks. Plus I've seen some others around town that are much brighter silver. Some folks here have added window tint to theirs to tone them down a bit.

 

Thanks! That third point was on my mind. Sliding boxes, coolers, etc. in and out of the bed.

 

I think i got a pretty good deal! Take off after 2000miles

1600$

 

changed my oil. guess they removed the cover for the positive battery terminal while it was in the collision shop. Accidentally touched the dipstick to the dipstick tube and positive battery terminal. there were a lot of sparks...everything is okay though. ordered gear oil to change my front diff and rear diff fluids.

 

I'd say that's a pretty damn good deal! Congratulations.

 

Looks like a good deal.

Who ever sold it, should have traded the Pro in on a new OR with no miles on it and then modified the OR. They already enjoyed owning the Pro and needed to upgrade the suspension.

 

Chipotle run…and removed the Predator Steps

 

I was able to get my dealer to remove the predator steps from the deal. Seems like expensive scrap metal to me.

 

Slip yoke service. It's so freaking hot.

installed DS18 tweeters, defiantly worth it



6x9 door sprekers will be next

 

May want to order new drain/fill plugs for the front diff, i picked up the ones i think from a lexus? they use a 14mm bolt head vs a 10mm hex. That 10mm hex for the fill is super soft i used a quality hex socket and it still wanted to round over. My truck is low mileage and doesnt sit in the salt belt i can see how guys have issues getting them out over time. They were cheap like 10 bucks each you can find the part numbers in this thread was worth it to prevent future issues.

That’s good to hear. I tried, but they wouldn’t budge. Wasn’t a hill I was gonna die on. I’ll probably sell em. They have less than 700 miles on them.

 

i already ordered a gasket kit off Amazon with oil, differential, and transfer case gaskets. already removed the fill plug once and had no issues.
