What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

100% parts are also from USA. Tesla is literally real American car manufacturer.

 

They are different. There is no rubber around the knob. Just a plastic piece with some shallow grooves. I will be sourcing the 90010-23059s.

 

I have yet to be so blessed Luckily I don't commute in stop n go with people on their phones behind me constantly.

 

I do. Thankfully I didn't need it.

 

Swapped out my front pods for something smaller than I had so I can now angle them further to the sides- these are harbor freight roadshock floods. I also mounted some old pods I’ve had for a while in the rear. To mount, I drilled a hole in a member of the hitch receiver and hit it with some rustoleum. Didn’t really want to drill a hole, but way cheaper than paying $200 online for a specific bracket that does the same thing, and it’s not going to hurt anything. Pleased with how clean it turned out. To tie it all together, I installed the Runnin 4 tacos OEM switch panel and the auxbeam 8 gang switch system. Everything is wired up and everything under the bay is pretty much done.

Only one issue- when I went to turn on the pods, they wouldn’t turn on. I tested the lights with a separate relay and switch to verify that they worked. Also verified voltage to the relay box with multimeter, and the switch panel inside the truck lights up… just won’t let me select and turn on the pods. I used add a fuse and plugged into the radio fuse, so it’s always on when the truck is on. Think it’s something internal to the unit at the fuses/switch relays. Anyways, I’ve requested a new one from Amazon so we shall see if it fixes my issue…

Any suggestions are welcome and would be appreciated even though this isn’t the forum for that.

Ignore the excess wire under the hood- just waiting to trim it down once I can get the switch panel working. And ignore the excess cable under the switch panel- that’s from my ScanGauge and I need to clean it up lol.

Perhaps assembled in the USA, which is a good thing. Some parts are sourced from Mexico.

 

Thanks for the follow-up. Yes, the 23059 knobs have the soft / grippy rubber.

Good info for anyone else doing the RAV4 knobs.

 

Those tires look bad

 

Same experience with my 4runner and obsessed with preventing rust so I also went to Ziebart because only thing near me were guys using lanoline which I don't like. The bad press on the internet is from a product not used in years and lack of knowledge. Ziebart does a great job of protecting from rust. I had my inside fenders, doors hood and frame done with the cosmoline type stuff and the outer frame and underside with same stuff as you. I also use spray cosmoline for areas that might not have been done perfectly and also trailer hitch. They wanted $60 for yearly touchup, but I will just touch up myself with cosmoline.

 

Rolled over 10K on the way home, so she got an oil change and tire rotate. Put my new metal filter housing on too, those are nice. I did the entire drain out without spilling so much as a drop on the floor and then proceded to stick the little plastic filter drain thingy in crooked and squirted oil all down my wrist and onto the inside of my skid plate.

Yep, talent. I got's it some days.............

 

DRT Cab mount relocation & Marlin Crawler Cam gusset reinforcement. Now to slightly modify the RCI skids to fit.

 

FUGLY…..Period!!!!!

 

i think they are only using these to carrying chips.....those bags are 50% air

 

So that's what they do with all the recycled beer cans.

 

Yes, it’s uglier than a bucket full of butt holes. But would it be less ugly if it had a 327 V8 in it ?

 

Absolutely!

 

That’s super cool!

 

Yeah that would help a little!
