What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed Redline Tuning hood struts. Took me a long time. Way longer than most of you that posted. 70+ body isn't fast, efficient or strong. I measure 3-4 times now not like when I was young because screw ups are harder to fix at my age. Pop rivets were nearly impossible to clamp in but with the help of some places to use as leverage finally got it done. Probably used as much energy installing as I will use lifting the hood for the next few years. Happy with them so far. Now it's hard to close ha ha.

 

Recommendation taken. Thank you!! I'm SO over those teeny tiny knobs, finally, manly knobs en route.

 

YOU can do it. Take your shop vac put a new bag on it and remove that little silver sticker above where that clip fell into the door. Put your fresh Shop-Vac make sure your filters are clean too it'll give it a hell of a lot more suction and you will get that clip out. I think mine dropped in the same way exactly. I think it was causing a lot of rattling going on when I removed it the rattling disappeared so happy now. Good luck!

 

Very nice!

 

Tire rotation, brake inspection. LBJ seems to be wet, should I worry about this now, or wait to see if it becomes a problem?

 

Split boot. It’ll go dry. Replace both sides. Not that big a job. Or have someone do it. Not that expensive.

Get OE parts from your local dealer. Take them to any reputable mechanic if you don't DIY.

 

I tend to think that’s the easy part, getting that load to its destination.

 

Got anymore pics? Truck looks pretty cool.

 

Those caps are ridiculous.

 

Okay, I didn't do this today but I forgot to post it yesterday.
I took my truck in to the dealer and had the BSM system fixed under warranty. (extended just paid for itself)
Turns out there was a tsb for it so they replaced both bsm sensors $$$$.
Just for info, it was T-SB-0063-19 for 2016-2019 trucks.

 

Those painted steelies look bad ass! For a moment I thought I was looking at a non-US market Hilux
(it's so green where you are it could be Australia, mate )

 

I like it. Probably on the only PIO (beside all weather floor liners) that is worth it. I plan to get one for my truck.

 

Easy install?

 

This is a dumb thread, especially for someone a week or so away from getting a truck. Imagine the list of farkles I have amassed while I'm still trying to decide between short bed, long bed, silver or lunar rock. I should stop reading these posts...but I can't

 

Thx. I almost painted my wheels white, which I still think would look great, before I decided to color match. I think being compared to a Hilux is such a compliment as I really dig those Aussie utilitarian vehicles. As far as the grass, that's due to the weather here in the Piedmont of NC as the warm weather grasses have completely taken over my property. And I can tell you it take a hearty little diesel tractor to get it mowed!

 

Have been using Bosch Icons on all of our vehicles for decades. Love the beam style, especially when the rain, wind and snow kicks in here in the PNW. They stay stuck to the windshield whatever the weather. Replace them every year but they could probably go a lot longer. They are dead-easy to install as well... R&R both sides in less than a minute.

 

For my RCI engine skid I used flooring hard knee pads to balance the hakf not in my hands and wormed under the truck. Worked well enough.

 

The horde compels you.

 

Many explain "peddle commander" this way ...

A computer processes the input from the skinny pedal to make the best strategy for the engine and transmission response. Peddle Commander tries to out-guess the computer based on the driver usage-history and the way the computer might react so tried to make the best physical input to the skinny pedal.

They describe the final product as "more than a little confusion".

So I have heard.

 

Does insurance reimburse the lost "beer cellar" stock in case of an accident?
