What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hell, it looks like someone shot in to it.

 

WTH, who does that ?? Now I want to get a mirror mounted security cam.

 

Nice, and here I am getting daisy chain relay/harness kit from Cali Raised lol. Now I need their relay mounting bracket to hold the 3 relays.

 

Just dropped off the truck at Hefty Fab to have the Accutune Stage 3A kit installed.

 

Nice, I had a 21 ORP myself in Silver. Great vehicle besides the brakes leaving a bit to be desired. I can't bitch too much, she saved me in a snow storm I got caught in passing through the Salt Lake City area. Was a return trip from Idaho back to Texas. Storm hit just north of Ogden, and by the time I was south of SL, I was the only vehicle pushing south. Most cars were pulling over, however I did see a Subaru following via my tracks for a bit. Then the snow was too deep and the Subaru pulled over. I stopped at Devils Pass for a break and stretch my legs and took a picture or two. 4Runners are awesome, I lost mine due to divorce.

Looks like the corner of someone's door...but it's kind of too high to possibly be that?

 

Not much over the weekend other than my military veteran plates came in, so I put those on. Decided my rock lights install needed a few more bits to make everything work, so ordered a dual leg daisy chain harness from Cali raised, and a 3 relay bracket from them as well to help clean all the wiring up. Not sure how long that setup will last as I later plan to add a rear light bar rack but will be installing KC lights instead of the typical light bar. After that, no more lights.. I think.

 

I can not speak to the Kicker but I read some good reviews about the DS18 and got them. They were plug and play and very crisp and clean. Very good upgrade.

 

That f*$kin sucks. Got damn thieves.

 

Probably end up on his truck. They are $59 bucks a piece.

 

I finally took care of the last pieces of chrome trim that wasn't blacked out - the radio buttons. I have a cheap vinyl cutter at home so I made some quick masks for the front of the buttons so I could paint just the chrome/silver trim.

 

I grew up with one in the area... now replaced by a hotel. Parents would take us about once a year or so or sometimes we went with friends. It was nearby a shopping center and would sometimes show adult movies. Mom would always make us cover our eyes or crouch on the floor if we were driving past just in case something was not appropriate.

 

Sometimes we would be out doing nothing and stop by the drive in, sit in the animal rescue clinic parking lot and tune in the radio and catch random movie bits. But porn at the drive must’ve been wild.

 

No kidding. It kind of looks like what happened to me.

 

Testing out a new hood vinyl wrap. The Topo lines are clear so it allows you to use your trucks paint color as the Topo lines. This is Marvin's at Beyond Wraps in Santa Ana Ca. original design. I was running his all Matte Black hood wrap prior. Got a sneak peak at this new product and persuaded Marvin to let me test the new product. It's printed on clear and laminated with clear matte lamination. Going to be doing the mirror caps and fender flares next week should really look great. I think the Army Green and Quicksand colored trucks would look great with this new color matching Topo lines. Added bonus with it being double laminated its makes the vinyl thicker for added protection.

For those wondering you can get the same exact textured/matte black color replacement bumper end caps for ~$50 on ebay instead of paying $150 or whatever for these bumper shellz. They look exactly the same.

 

I switched to picaridin bug repellent since it doesn't harm plastics and synthetic fabrics. I usually get the Sawyer brand - is comes in an aerosol can, pump bottle, or cream. I usually get the aerosol. It's also lighter feeling and isn't as sticky or smelly as most DEET products.

Ah, I see another manual enthusiast What'd you do about the chrome around the cup holder? I was blinded by that bit one day headed to work. No one makes a chrome delete piece for a manual cup holder that I can find... Your chrome delete looks good!

 

Preserving her to live forever...#Death Becomes Her.

 

I will absolutely look into that one thanks. We live in the country and gotta have something lol.
