What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You should shave more often.

 

Got some cheapo flood lights that are aimed sideways and backwards, going to see if I like the setup before shelling out the big bucks for some Diode Dynamic lights.

Mounted the passenger side lights to my 1Up bike rack using a 1.5" aluminum spacer. For the drivers side I custom made a bracket, just gotta wait for the paint to dry.

 

Got the Prinsu Pro mounted up and the lightbar. Still need to adjust the light down a bit. PIA, a lot of the crossbar threads har burrs in them so starting bolts was a pain. Should have ran out for a tap.

 

Decided to wrap the hood in matte black to reduce glare. Did it myself, first time trying to wrap. Is it perfect, no, are there a couple minor wrinkles, yup. Still overall pleased as I knew there was a 50/50 chance I could do it at all and knew 100% it wouldn't be perfect. $90 for the roll, cheapest place I could find $300 so I'll live with it until I get it redone professionally.

 

I've also been running this since mid February with no real problems or lockups. My only complaint (other than the slight start-up delay, but whatever) is that my maps (Android Auto) seem to be pretty delayed in switching to night mode - well after my headlights automatically turn on.

I haven't timed it or tested in any particular way, but twilight was ~6:36 tonight and I just got home (~7:50) and the maps were still in blinding daylight mode. However, this is my first go with Android Auto, so this could very well have to do with my phone (Pixel 7) or the Android Auto automation and not so much the unit itself.

Edit: Confirmed - this day/night thing seems to be a common issue with Toyotas (so far I've seen accounts from 4Runner and Rav4 owners), so I'll be trying out their remedies.

 

Dunno...looks like a very clean install from here

 

I get what he is saying. The desire for perfection makes me see EVERY SINGLE flaw in my work.

 

Did a rear shock relocation recently and did some light yoga to make sure it works

 

Could be Calander worthy.
Like the clouds.

 

I might have to get one of those seat covers when I get another dog.

 

No it passed as is with the OTT

 

LOL!

 

I just ordered one of those mid-rise shells. I’ve been looking for a used shell, but couldn’t find one. While looking for a used one I was open to cab height or mid-rise. I didn’t want to pay the ridiculously high prices for a new one, but I wanted a shell soon.

 

Bored so I'll bite. Every once in a while this guy will post something relevant, but the vast majority of his posts are clickbait s*** trying to be funny. This is one of those, I do believe it's supposed to be like WTF. That's sad I'm glad I'm not sure. Don't want to start to understand this s***.

 

What Emily Post say about the ill manners demonstrated in this forum?

 

We are all lost! The end of the world is near! Repent your evil ways!

 

Had a burned out reverse light so I took the opportunity to switch to LED…

 

What if we like our evil ways?

 

You’ll be happy with the usage out of it. Takes a little bit to get used to but idk why but just by putting my new wheels and tires made it looks so much better with the high rise. Once I get a prinsu it will look even better I think
