What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

SEXY!

When I add the DB Tonneau cover, I'd definitely buy reinforcements (Total Chaos stiffeners) for the bed.

 

Took 'er out to the desert chasing bunnies and scouting for quail. No luck on the bunnies, but I did find a good quail spot.

 

Still wiring it, but here is my version of the @Diode Dynamics reverse light kit. @paranoid56 cut it for me. The center light is a VLED LPR license plate reverse light kit, and the side lights are SSC1R pros. So they are auxiliary rear lights (switched), brake lights, and parking lights. There are also some VLED MaxPod lights up there, aimed down. Those will trigger with the puddle lights as well as the bed lights. It’s nothing big, but it feels good to actually start doing something with the stuff I’ve been accumulating.

 

Just took all afternoon installing the URD Short shifter on my ‘20 TRD OR. Shifting into all gears feels great except for reverse—pretty brutal.

 

What’s up with reverse? Is it a crappy action or is it not right?

 

I have to apply A LOT of strength to push it into reverse.

 

Is it adjustable or just nasty so no one accidentally throws it in reverse?

 

They look the coolest.streamlined.. wish they allowed for retention of the stock swivel D ring tiedowns.

I also wish they were a lil cheaper

 

I figure to do loose the OEM D rings, but you gain two more tie downs per side.

 

curious, you hunt them with a shotgun?

Arent they like 2 oz of meat. I imagine one pellet ruins the whole bird if its with that shotgun

 

Nice find. I haven't been quail hunting in years. care to share the spot or at least the general location?

 

This'll be my first year hunting quail.

Yes, it is a very small amount of meat. The pellets are pretty small, so they don't tend to ruin much from what I gather.

 

Sure. It was just off a spring in the desert to the Southeast of Victorville, CA. I found it on onX, on BLM land. There is a nice strip of trees and very green vegetation in an otherwise fairly baren area. There're a bunch of them to the east of some private land in the middle of BLM. If you have onX, they're easy to spot.

 

Thanks. I may need to go look when I have a chance. I don't know if I'll actually hunt again but I use to go with my dad so some very fond memories. Now any reason to drive off road is a good one for me.

For quail and dove we usually just breasted them.

 

Thank you for reminding me ! I think I’ll use a piece of that rubber type drawer liner and might work perfect to protect and so it won’t slide around.

 

Nice and what a clean install!

 

It's it great though for everything but reverse? I love mine. How long did it take you? Did you cut or ninja those bolts in? I think I may have elbow pain from reverse.

 

it really is great other than the reverse issue. It took me 3 hours bc I was trying to avoid cutting but faced the inevitable and started cutting. Did the reverse seem to let up at all as time passed?

 

i was hoping someone could speak into this but not that I know of…I don’t think it’s adjustable.
