What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Brushed the snow off

 

Took off the chin spoiler then added "nipple rings" and did some battery terminal maintenance.

 

Added the alpine 511, much needed bigger screen for me

 

Got the Alucab yesterday. Definitely needed the storage space (previously had the HD diamondback...which I'm now going to sell). The bed lights I already had previously installed

 

Did some home improvements and towed a TRD trailer.

 

Did my bi-annual Icon RXT clean out and lube, hopefully no more squeaks for 6 months. Also finally got to use my new badlands jack.

 

Installed the Anytime Backup Camera kit today. I got the kit from Trail Grid Pro and got it pre connected and soldered by them. Bought a front/ rear view Natika camera from Amazon. Wanted to mount the camera in the factory camera mount on the Toyota Heritage Grille. The plug or blank that comes with the grille had 2 screws holding it in and I had to take the grill off to get to the top screw. That took about 20 minutes. I watched Trail Grid Pros Youtube video of the installation and the rest of the install took about an hour.

 

Got these beauts finally installed. Purchased from Sparks and shipped directly to @no vtec 4me for customization. TRD PRO badges removed, gloss black painted divider, clear sides, and protective film. Kevin made the whole process seamless. Communication was great and his packaging of the headlights back to me is next level. Oh and of course a @daveeasa wiring harness. You guys rock!

 

My heated steering wheel kit came today. Nice kit. This is a good video to follow.

How long ago did you buy the start/stop button? I contacted that company several times a while back with no response. I don't think they make the Star Wars versions anymore.

 

This weekend I swapped out my Fabtech uniball UCA with JBA UCA. It looks like I didn’t lose any articulation with the swap and I got sealed ball joints. No more squeaky control arms! Then I swapped out my lower control arm ball joint. That was a bitch. Pro tip, harbor freight has a ball joint press adapter expansion kit. It has the correct sizes to remove the lower ball joints.

 

Thoughts? How’s the heat? Quality? Was the install as straightforward as the video shows?
Thx

 

Installed https://www.ozgaugepods.com/product-page/2015-21-toyota-tacoma-pillar-gauge-pod for my iDash gauge. Much better placement than the Banks pillar mount and not on the windshield anymore.

 

Nice quality. I have talked to the person who started this project from Canada and has stated it gets hot, but don’t know the exact temperature. Waiting to install mine when get some time off from work. Here’s his YouTube page. He works for the company who sells them. Then install looks to be simple. All plug and play except adding the add a fuse .

Beautiful! Exactly what I want except smoked sides instead of clear.

 

Put in a rear seat platform for the dogs to ride more comfortably. Also have a ramp to make it easier for them to get in. Makes long rides better for the ladies!

 

you need a battery

 

I am oddly s-mitten by your response ...
