What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

bahahahaha

here’s my truck on the beach with this wheels. He does at least have good taste in trucks?

 

Pretty funny! Those are actually Chevy SS logos, but it's the thought that counts.

 

You haven’t gotten the recall notice?

 

Needed a subject to practice with my new drone. Went for a hike on the BRP and stopped at one of the overlooks.

 

Long time lurker,

My feet of stupidity, or genius. 600sqft of LVP and underlayment served me well on the transport with my AAL from ICOn smooth sailing. I wouldn't recommend doing this daily however ha!

 

Wrong thread oops

 

How do you like the cab guard? I have the same setup and have been on the fence about getting one. Any issues?

 

Hardly took any pics but I did the complete kicker speaker upgrade. Installed sound deadening material on the doors while I was at it. Night and day difference. My stereo actually sounds pretty decent now.

 

Got a new-to-me rack for my camper shell. Still on the lookout for a RTT.

 

Added a OEM Toyota Black Chrome tip just for fun. I was really surprised it actually changed the tone and sounds good at idle and even noticed a difference cruising. Looks pretty good to I think. I like it so much if it starts to move around at all I’m going to have it spot welded on.
The big new change though is I canceled my leveling kit and decided to go with a 3 inch lift with tubular control arms and some 33” Mickey Thompson Baja AT’s including the spare. Pretty excited for this mod
I know if I would have just did a leveler I’d always be craving the next move a lift.
Anyway back to the tip

 

installed the new Cali Raised Cat Shields with the boy. Good time getting a little dirty on the ground and letting the boy wrench a bit.

 

Go Go Speed Racer!!

 

Nice one! How was the install? Did you get the speakers from Crutchfield?

 

Take the back roads to the mall.

 

Nah, I found em on Amazon. Had some credit to use so I snatched em up there instead.

Install was super easy. Probably 4 hours for everything. I wish I would have snapped some more pics. One small piece of advice for anyone doing this, is to remove any retained clips on the doors and attach them to the panels prior to reinstalling the panels. If you don't you run the risk of pushing the clips through the doors.

I knew to do this but I was moving too fast and forgot to replace one on my rear driver's door. Sure enough, I pushed the clip inside the door frame and lost it.

 

Installed Pro wheels and cheap center caps since Toyota has the caps on backorder until the year 2525. Much better look than the stock OR. The center caps were a PITA; the raised tabs on the caps prevent an easy seating. You can see the dents the wheel makes in the tabs when it is set into the wheel. Each tab was filed slightly, then fitted onto the wheel until the cap snapped into place. After an hour all of the cap were installed and nothing broke.

 

I like the AJT radio knobs. https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/

 

I agree...They have to be removed and they just don't come out on their own. I just took my Taco the the dealership and they yank down the wire for my forward facing camera and disconnected it. They did not say a word about it till I realized it after leaving the dealership. I was not happy after they tried to deny it.

 

I had Crager SS wheels on a Dodge Challenger many years ago and I had a police officer that would pull me over all the time to try to buy the wheels off me.
