What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dang great work!!

 

Nice setup! Yea, not many places to air up here on the OBX, especially on the northern beaches. I am planning on doing an onboard air system in the future, just have to get thru my cancer treatment first.

You picked a great weekend to come down, weather was perfect! Fall is my favorite time of the year here, still warm but not hot and humid.

 

I used to live in an area where we had red clay. That stuff wouldn't wash off and left stains on everything. I never found a solution other than it eventually wears off over time.

 

Which brush did you get?

 

Yes...yes...yes!

Med/Mild/Spicy

The transmission has torque on demand. Each gear shifting is swifter.

The throttle/pedal isn't as sensitive as when I first had it on V7 back in May/2022.

I'll keep track of my fuel economy on "A" trip meter

I expect close to 400 miles per tankful.

 

I was looking at Interstate actually and might end up going that route. Rather change it out before I NEED to.

 

Correction...my Tuner said I have "Mild/Spicy".

Mild drive, Spicy ECT.

 

I want to get these.... but the price keeps me away.

 

What grill is that?

 

Nice ! Ok that makes more sense to me
I’ve got the medium, Spicy ECT.
They are great tunes you’re going to love it . I haven’t noticed a difference in MPG but then again I got my tune the same day I got my 3” lift and 33’s.
Power and shift points is a night and day difference though

 

400 a tankful. I am speechless and need to have this done if that is an actual case. I thought i was doing good with 23 MPG and about 330 miles from full

 

I installed a 30" light bar in that location using these:

 

No its a new wheel I just changed the guts from mine out. Got in on ebay after duties and shipping it was 700CDN. I just find the top of the stock wheel the leather wears very fast

 

Installed the OEM Roof Rack.






I was disappointed in the Toyota QC on these. Both were not seated in their lower channels, I was able to fix this with a trim tool.





Before I could do that however I had to de-burr the bottom channels. There are 5-ish of these openings on the bottom of the rails that allows the top/bottom parts to clip together. 2-3 of these on each rail had plastic burrs that needed to be removed in order for them to function as designed.



I got the OEM version with the idea that it was a factory direct fit, therefore no muss no fuss. And with only 15 Torx screws, a little cleaning, silicon application (neutral curing), this process should only take about an hour for both. But between the problems above, plus extremely poor screw to hole alignment, this turned into a 3+ hour wrestling match. Not sure if this is more of a comment on my abilities or Toyota's QC...but I'm gonna blame Toyota to make myself feel better.


And to Toyota, in case you are creeping on TW...

That had occurred to me to make something like that, but I expect the void will catch Massachusetts slush so I wanted it to run free and not hang out! I like how clean that is on yours!

 

The trimming was a little bit along the front edge of the orange lip, it is a little proud, so I could have trimmed some more down to get it really flush


Then there are two support arms that come up from the horizontal frame rail and stick up to the bumper. Those took some trimming of the air dam, there are some channels that I had to totally chop out to be able to remount the dam (you can sort of see how the orange lip from the above is pushed a wee bit down in this as well)

 

What products of theirs did you use?? Looks very nice!

 

If you got the tune a month ago, you are on V9.

 

Beautiful color! Almost looks like my 96m edition Miata

 

I used this stuff!
