What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

People overlook speaker wire and source material so often, it blows my mind. Your system is only as good as the weakest (read cheapest) link

 

I am convinced it has forgotten how to rain in Texas. I worked on my truck for about an hour early last Saturday morning, before the sun got too high. I still ended up soaking wet in sweat and I wasnt even moving around that fast.

 

Come to SW Ontario. It's the entire opposite here. It rains every 3 days and I cannot get anything done outside. The mods are piling up.

 

HA! Had not thought of that. Obviously, it looks as if I could. Will have to try it. Good call.

 

Thanks for the support! Any issues please let me know!

 

Can confirm. It was a beast to tune my Focal Flax to sound good with all genres as they were breaking in. Now though.. it's incredible.

 

Tell me about the floor? You do it yourself? Building a house here in Texas and would love to have something like that!

 

They are TOYOTA caps. Unfortunately they no longer make these caps.
I wish I could get more of them.
Unfortunately I sold my spare set last year.

Installed the Pop & Lock Tailgate Power Lock. Followed Chloe Kuo's video. Pretty easy to install overall. Worst part was it's 97 degrees with a 108 heat index.... Even the dog said fuck it and went inside.

 

OEM power tailgate lock installed. Not difficult overall, but it sure reminded me that I'm too old and fat to be rolling around under a truck on a gravel driveway.

 

you know your center cap is not aligned with the method logo right ? You don’t align your Mountain bike tires logo with the valve step ?

 

Yep... it's RaceDeck. Installed it myself. Time consuming, but not difficult at all. More here:

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions!

 

This is why my 24 x 24 garage has a window a/c unit and an overhead heater in each bay. Just running one a/c today and it is a whopping 78° in here today (90° outside with 98° heat index). Damn near need shorts on out here. I mainly do that to keep my cnc and conventional milling machines consistent and climate controlled.

 

I feel your pain. That is why I keep a thick furniture blanket for these types of jobs,

 

Dobermans are very sweet and friendly. They have to be trained to be guardians.

 

New version of TRD center caps are available P/N: PT280-35220-G0

TW Thread: TRD beadlock wheels are still in production, new part number

 

Bak revolver x2 cover installed. Next step putting on a bed rack, thinking either KB voodoo or Billie Bars. I am not sure which would be more of a flush fit with this cover. Also I removed the chrome 4x4 emblem on my tailgate. Not sure if it was placed by the previous owner or was stock, but I couldn’t find a cover that would go over this specific one. I think it looks better without it, personally.

 

Looks good. Nice work!

 

529s ..it’s definitely slower off the line now..ride is alot softer..

 

My husband and I spend my day off on Wednesday wrenching on my truck. Well technically we started the mosquitoes feeding, I mean wrenching, on Tuesday night…

ECGS bushing, Dobinsons shocks and struts, c59-314 coils, SumoSprings bump stops (front is brand new, rears I had for about 6 months now), ICON progressive AAL. Rides like a dream on the road. Off-road test is tomorrow.






Quick toe check, taking it in for proper alignment next week.


Separate shoutout to the MVP of this whole project - my Bosch 2-in-1 impact gun. It took the axle nut as if it was finger tight.
