What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah we don’t get any crazy weather in San Diego

 

The only hard part was getting the mounting right for sturdiness and spacing while using the factory hoses. You will be creating your own mounts, it will take some problem solving and a trip or 17 to the hardware store. As for wiring, there are a couple options to include a temp sensor. I ran mine to a fan switch in the cab with no temp sensor, just a simple on and off using a pre-made wiring harness and a pigtail connector. You will also be creating your own wire terminations. I ordered up a custom switch for CH4x4 to fit the small Toyota push switch but that is really unnecessary, the switch that comes with it is fine. The rest is just running wires through the firewall to the switch and your power source/aux box. Don't forget to add some fluid to the new cooler.

I felt this one too. I was cursing the cables and the motor. It looks so clean without it.

 

Sadly not a dang thing...bad back has me down

 

stayed up late last night and went through stuff I ordered and never got around to installing.

put the diode dynamics interior lights in, which are surprisingly to me, pretty sick.

diode dynamics elite white fogs with the amber backlighting

r4t CA skids.

felt good to clear some boxes off the ole workbench

 

Nice! Are you liking those diode dynamics elite fogs? I've been eyeballing those for a minute. They look awesome!

 

I was skeptical because on the Baja whatever quad joints everyone gets - there’s legal, and “non” which is enticing to know you’re bad and have something really bright.

I'm not sure why I went w/ these instead, but honestly they're great. they look pretty premium when fully off, the backlight is cool when off to match my raptor lights, but the white is very bright. Went for a test ride after leveling them to see where my cutoff was against a building - I'm certain they're as bright, or brighter than my headlights, and WAY whiter.

Install tip if you get them - the video has you going through the wheel well and disassembling a bunch of stuff. Literally just reach in through the top of the engine bay and its much easier.

 

Thanks! I'm definitely considering the yellow version. I just might have to get them now, lol. The amber backlight is really cool. Thanks for the install tip!

 

Finally finished my Clazzio install. I never want to have to do that again. Look great, though!

 

My next tire. Brand and size. Any problem with the 1 inch increase (75 v 70) with stock suspension?

 

Nope, first pic straight on, second pic turned to the left and third pic turned to the right.

 

Prepped

 

My sentiments exactly. But boy, do they ever look great!

 

What headlights are these? Looks awesome!

 

The rubber mat hack is a great idea, I'll have to copy as well haha. Thanks!

 

That looks really good!

 

Nice… which bumper is that one? So many to choose from and that looks clean.
Thanks in advance

Installed the back bed rail. Rather lame that Toyota stopped putting those on as standard. Paid $55 at dealer. Simple to put on.
