What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How in the world do you keep the plastic lens on the instrument cluster so clean?

 

I use Novus.

@TekITGuy - Nice. I had heard about this product before for motorcycle visors. Thanks!

 

OMG yes. lol i used to have it saved on my watch list. I couldnt find it for the life of me. thanks.

 

It's great stuff. I learned about this stuff when I worked for an herbicide spraying company. They sprayed with Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopters (similar to military OH-58) and we used Novus on all the window and gauge plastics. Stuff is amazing. Novus has scratch remover versions as well, light scratch and heavy scratch.

 

No problem. I have very strong search and find stuff voodoo lol...

 

Installed my ARB twin compressor on my Slee engine bay mount. Haha what a PITA. Seemed straightforward. I think I made it unnecessarily difficult, because I mounted the mount first and then mounted the compressor. If I were to do it again, I would definitely mount the compressor on the mount first before installing them mount. I installed the rocker power switch on the mount because I am not adding a front air locker.

Also washed her. Not sure how I feel about Armor All tire shine crap.

 

Can you send your SS3s back to diode and have them retrofit them with the non fog housing and regular mounting brackets? Also look into some Square1 designs frame caps. I have been running the Backwoods highlite w/ bull bar for 6-7 months and love it.

 

Definitely can tell the difference in sound quality after upgrading. I've been on the fence about the subaru tweeters for a while and your video, $70 price tag and Amazon next day delivery pushed me over the edge. I'm always down for 15 minute mods......

 

Added a flag. Guaranteed extra 13 hp and 23 lb-ft of torque!

 

Had a Rav4 that received front end bumper damage at the dealership... the dealer told me I would have to take them to court. I was side swiped a day later by a young driver wiping out the damage, but never went back to the dealership and either did my own repairs or used a small local independent.

Bought my Tacoma about 50 miles from home in 2022 with no markups on MSRP. I've taken it back for the scheduled Toyota Care without issue. Last trip when rotating the tires, the alignment tech noticed what he thought was a little abnormal wear. I had not noticed anything abnormal. They recommended a $110 alignment and told me no charge if the alignment was good.

Got done, alignment was needed per the before and after alignment sheet, but no charge because the tech did not feel it was originally torqued correctly at the factory and said it would be a warranty charge. While waiting for service, I've witnessed them looking over a couple of cars and telling the customer that this-that noise is normal and not taking any money.

The distance is a hassle, but the new dealer has earned my business.

 

I figured American flags would give you an extra 17 hp and 76 lb-ft of torque.

 

I see what you did there...

 

Lol!

 

added a prinsu

 

Does it work? I'm not familiar with how to wire it up to a toggle switch.

 

Installed some seat jackers.... not sure about the verdict yet as I have only sat in it for about 10 mins......

 

Yeah there are some good dealerships around. I experienced this when I owned a Dodge. The local dealership was horrible and couldn’t fix my truck, they had it for roughly 2 months on and off over an 8 month period. When I called corporate to get some help as the dealership I was going through resorted to running jumper wires from my transfer case to the battery directly instead of fixing a harness, they said about 35 miles away was the top rated dodge service department on the west coast. I took my truck there and they had the problem diagnosed in 45 minutes and fixed in 2 hours. Some places are great and some are a bunch of hacks. It’s very dependent on the management I believe.

 

I got an alignment today. Honestly not terrible for the work I did.
