What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sweet! Welcome to TW!

 

I got some heavy duty vinyl gasket material from a local pool company and I'm going to encase my sensor around it except in front of it and seal it up to protect it, i agree the ice build up is a pain in the butt, especially if it is hindered as it helps stop you from hitting someone. I will post photos once I am completed.

 

Love those wheels.

 

What relocation kit did you use for your backup camera? Any pics of it? I just added a swing out and have been missing the backup camera a little bit more than I expected I would.

 

I normally don't like silver wheels, but these are really nice

 

https://tailgatecamera.com/collecti...-hd-18-5mm-camera-kit-with-oem-wiring-harness this one! Plugs right into your OE harness and you leave you OE camera in the tailgate. Its a bit pricey but worth saving the hassle. Plus if I ever change bumpers to a non swingout, it will be in the tailgate waiting for me.

 

Mind sharing what wheels you have? New wheels and tires are planned for this fall and was leaning towards a bronze, but I've seen a few silver and gunmetal with white Tacos and the look is growing on me.

 

Guys, while changing your spark plugs, is the manifold gasket required to be replaced?

The spark plugs that you are looking for are in stock for $ 18.27 each. You will also need the intake manifold gasket that would run you $ 48.82 that is also in stock.

 

No, passenger side is cake; driver side especially the one in the back will take a little more time.

 

Rotated the new(ish) yokohama x-at's at the 5k mile mark.
I have an old spare that I use to rotate the tires with because a truck up on 4 jackstands sketches me out.

I'll pop the d.s. off and put that old spare on (temporarily) and work my way around.

 

Perfect thank you! I want to leave the stick camera alone so that one would work great!

 

Wash and Wax!

Yeah you’re right but 7 boxes for 1 bumper. I ain’t getting that out till I’m ready to install it. Right in the middle of the job I will realize a bolt is missing cause I got everything out to take a pic for my TW people. The boxes will do.

 

Installed these Body Armor REVO sliders. I liked how they hug the body and don't poke out too far. Not the fanciest brand but it's definitely the look I was going for.

 

Managed to play Taco while firmly entrenched in remodeling my master bathroom. Tell you what, camping inside your home is a hoot!
After tearing out the Trail Edition Bed Storage Fungus Farms, I purchased some water tight cases that will serve many purposes. First and foremost, they fit as a plane carry on. I can pull the foam and used them for luggage. They are the same exact size as my cheapos from WalMart. I used the existing hardware to mount high strength CF rails on the bottom so they will sit flat in the roof rack. ( I put O rings in the voids to keep that water tight theme going.) I like that my new luggage matches all my pew pew cases as well.
This will leave more space inside the truck for when my princess packs for a weekend away like we are going on a 3 month safari. Gonna find a way to lock them down so I can use them for tool storage when I'm not using them to hall clothing and toothpaste to Disneyland. The board straps are not gonna cut it. These work fine for surf/skateboards but not for these. They just won't snug up enough. I'll keep farting around with ideas. That is the fun part. Maybe locking ratchet straps or something.
Little stuff like this keeps me in the game until the Honey-Do's subside. I have parts laying everywhere...just no time to install them.

 

Love it. Just got the same ones. They weigh a friggin ton!

 

@grambo911 they're definitely sturdy. I was a little concerned they'd be kinda chintzy with the price but they're nice. Coating is nice too.

 

rails look like old hockey sticks... you just gave me an idea...

 

Going “safari” mode with the soft topper.
