What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

thanks brother. Yea I figured I would start small cause I was nervous as hell to cut the bumper haha. I figured I could always go more aggressive if I started small

 

I know the feeling all too well. I was nervous as hell too. Once I used the hole saw to cut the radius there was no turning back lol.

 

From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached. -- Franz Kafka

 

That looks sweet

 

what Garmin dashcam are you using?

 

Mini 2 dashcam.

 

Thanks a lot! I've been gradually adding to my vision to bring the heritage colors into the interior and exterior without going overboard (in my opinion). Most prominent exterior elements are the tri colored grill badge (the nice big quality one from Taco Vinyl [put on after painting the grill black]), grill surround stripes, and the skewp wrap w/TRD logos in orange:

 

Switched from KDmax to OTT tune.

 

And........

 

Got around to installing the Lomax Tonneau Cover
Installed LED turn and reverse lights as well as RCI Offroad bed stiffeners

 

Had a Modesta Glass coating put on. Supposed to be one of the hardest coatings and was told will last 8-10 years.

 

Didn’t mean to send duplicates, never tried to include photos before, my bad

 

Honestly, bigger improvement than I was expecting. The OTT is more refined- throttle response is better (lag is gone with more predictable pedal control/ not jumpy), shifting is smoother, no more gear hunting in the hills.

 

Uuuhhhh… What’s it supposed to do and does it come with a guarantee that you won’t have to replace your windshield for that long?
Only prices I found for bc04 installed was the cost of 3 oem windshields out of pocket

 

Supposed to be one of the hardest coatings. They keep it two days and cure it under UV light. The photos don’t do it justice, using and older phone for the photos. No more waxing, yes it is not cheap ($1000) but I priced the better ceramic coatings ($800-$950) and they are not cheap either. The bugs just rinse off with a hose, anything to make my life easier, I’m for.

Don’t know anything about the cost of having a windsheild replaced.

 

Oh okay, prices I found online were $2k+. I was just wondering.
My windshields don’t last long enough to justify anything more than a self applied water repellent coating. RainX or whatever is on sale at the time

 

Modesta Glass is a brand name for a coating for the exterior paint similar to a ceramic coating, got nothing to do with the windsheild.

 

Gotcha. Paint protectant. Hope it works well for you, apologies for my confusion

 

No apology needed, I probably wasn’t very clear. I’m ocd about my rides and keeping them waxed was getting old cause I’m getting old, lol. Now I’m done hand waxing for several years to come. Heck when it rains the dang truck practically washes itself. The water doesn’t bead up, it runs off in sheets and rinses a lot of debris off with it.
