What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've heard that in Moab they know it's spring when the license plates turn green (from all the CO folks coming since it's still winter here). But you have a blue CO plate so I don't know how that fits in.
Looks beautiful; I need to go back.

 

I really like the Go Avs part. The badge is up to you; if you like it, keep it. I added a small tri color emblem to the grill so I'm just reinforcing the brand too.

 

whys it look like this is a rear end lol

 

seeing this makes me want to get a prinsu for my cab to match the camper

 

Uneven gaps on the rubber around the windows, leaks on the windows, bad paint, side windows chipped on edges.

 

I refer to those clowns at the stealerships as "Interns"..I refuse to pay top dollar at a dealership for a bunch of interns to F### up.

 

When you put in a agm battery I read that you have to reprogram your alternator or something to charge the higher capacity battery?

 

Correct. A tuner can change the ECU to up the charge rate for the AGM battery. Of course, you can run without, but it will shorten the life of your battery and you're not getting the full benefit of the AGM that you paid extra for.

If you're already tuned, it should take less than 5 minutes. If not, it will likely be more expensive and involved.

 

Oh I installed bigger cup holders so I can have my Nalgene up front with me!
and I replaced my lights with LED lights!

2TR-FE power, even though its not the 3rd gen with the same cab configuration looks much bigger

 

Those work with the BSM's? Do you have the part number? I thought that the Rav4 Mirrors didn't work with the BSM? Thanks

 

No pics and not today, but in the last couple weeks:

• I got the body/cab mount squeak issue fixed
• installed a 3rd party bed step
• added Seat Jacks to the passenger seat
• installed smoked, sequential side mirror turn signals
• had the OTT tune done to lite/mild on Saturday.

 

How are you liking the OTT light/mild so far? I'm getting mine done the weekend after next. I'll be going with the light/mild as well.

 

I've only driven less than a hundred miles or so, but so far, I couldn't be happier.

My thoughts are, in lite mode, it drives exactly like it should have off the lot...much better throttle response from a dead stop, no lag when turning corners, and 0 gear hunting. Mild is a bit jumpy off the start and more responsive. I'm sure I could have gotten used to that if I had it done for the non-ECT mode, but what I chose works perfectly for me.

I think you'll love it.

Thanks for the feedback! That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for in this tune.

 

Loaded my truck on Amtrak Auto Train and went to Florida!


(Dummy me missed them loading and unloading my truck… smh). IIRC… Amtrak size limit is 214” long, 84” tall, 84” wide (0/S mirrror to mirror). If I remove the trailer hitch ball the DCSB measured 211” front plate holder to rear bumper.

 

Replaced my icon add-a-leaf yesterday with the icon rxt option 3. When I pulled out of the garage to clean up and go got a test drive I seen a single drop of oil on the floor from the front of the truck. I crawled under and my drivers cv input seal is leaking pretty bad, like surprised there was only 1 drop. I did do the ECGS bushing last spring time area. So now new project for today if Toyota has a seal in stock.

 

Used to live off of Rayford and 45 - close to an old freedman's town called Tamina. I'd imagine real estate developers have bought that area out and put homes on it. Any way - There is something about the way a N. Houston neighborhood pic looks. The homes, the grass, the sky coloration. Takes me back. Taco looks great too but the rest of that pic is dripping with nostalgia for me. Thank you.
