What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I could like a set of those hood black outs.

Are they easy to get?

 

Not sure, it came with the truck.

 

I recently bought a 3d printer and managed to print a case for the wagan battery management screen and printed some points of attachment. I didn't lose a finger so I call this a win.

 

I really like the aggressive look but yet street friendly a long with good traction when off road.

 

Couldn't you just print another finger?

 

Finished last night, but too late and tired to post…

- Bilstein 6112’s @ 2” in the front
- Bilstein 5160’s in the rear
- ECGS Bushing
- Icon Add-A-Leaf in the rear 1.5”
- Active Off-Road U-Bolt Flip Kit with Timbren Bump Stops
- LT255/75R17 KO2’s on Gunmetal SEMA wheels + steel wheel spare
- PVD Black OEM Lugnuts & Wheel Locks



Off to get an alignment in about 45 mins!

 

So cool to see those pictures, I grew up in that area and been there many times.

 

I'm sorta tired people asking me if it is 4x4 so the emblem would be a big help.
i tell them its a TRD Off-Road, they don't believe me because i removed the decals. and never had the 4x4 emblem

 

How hard is it to get the grille covers off? i have a plastic tool, and what is the wiring like or is there a harness i can purchase?

 

If I buy a new metal gas pedal from the IS250/350, is it plug and play? What's required to get it done? Drill new holes to bolt it up? What about the plug connector? Are they the same pin configuration?

 

Good point. Currently on 2nd fill, and it is reporting 18+ on the mpg. After the 4th tank I will report calculated by computer, and hand calculated numbers.

One additional observation, prior to the reset vehicle did not coast very well - lifting foot off gas could not coast to a stop light at a reasonable rate - had to keep applying gas just to reach the light without being annoying to other drivers. NOW, it coasts to a stop light like it did when new.

 

Is your truck a 4x4?

 

I swear that’s such an upstate ny question. I asked my dad (upstate ny) that once about his truck, just making conversation. He was pissed I would even ask him that obv his truck is a 4x4.

what you should do is just tell the people that ask you to follow in the woods

 

Love the pup sleeping photo. Got his/her own pillow and using the rears tucked under sleeping position.

 

The gunmetal SEMAs look great with the silver truck. Makes me miss the ones I had.

I'm a big fan of black wheels, but they seem so common now it's nice to see something different.

 

That looks like a really cool spot. You could have parked half in Virginia and half in West Virginia.

 

Looks like on the Forest service road on the way up there you can also have your driver in one state and passenger in another.

 

It may not amount to very much, but then again...
To be completely accurate you have to fill the tank to the same level each time. Do you trust the pump's auto-shutoff to repeat exactly? (Are you even using the exact same pump each time?)
Best would be to see the actual fuel level in the filler neck, but that isn't advised with these sealed, recirculating fuel systems. Bummer.

 

I’m in southern New England where they throw down layers of the liquified snow melt when there is even a hint of a dusting so the vehicles around here are caked in white crust from the first flake.

 

Curious as to the cap on your 3 gal rotopax. Is that aluminum? If so I may need to get one.

The plastic one on my 2gal swells when the temperature rises, and in the AL heat mine has blown 2 seals this summer. I ended up just putting it in the shed until it cools off outside, but that defeats the purpose of even owning it.
