Looks brand new.

 

Why. I really like to know?

 

toytec makes the kit. the only thing that gets relocated on a 3rd gen is the fuel filler neck gets a 1" spacer and longer bolt for mounting bracket. the radiator itself stays in factory position. theres enough clearance in the fan shroud that it still clears. the steering shaft has enough play in the splines to accommodate 1". even the wheel well aprons have enough stretch that they still fit and function. id consider it an easy install that took about 2 hours by myself. thats not including me relocating the rear bumper tho. took another hour

 

6112's and RXT, en route!

 

Let’s see - if/when your wife discovers your post (and assuming your backyard is an easier trek than “a whole BC mountain”), it won’t matter that she may actually weigh more than your daughter. Your “load rating” will be in direct proportion to the lightening (not lightning) of your wallet.

 

No issues with the seat covers on my electric seat. Going on 3 years old now.

 

Yeah, I actually clean my engine bay.

 

No. I just bought it from an online source that had an older version for a good price. I do like the clean look of the newer one, but this fits the bill.

I found an online source that had new old stock for a good price. I do like the look of the newer one, but this fits the bill. As for the oil fill issue, I was able to get the tray over far enough to leave a gap between the tray and the fill cap.

 

Wait…you gotta pull the seats out to install the RC’s? Sounds like a pain in the ass. Do they go well over leather? I’m looking for covers cuz I work in the dirt but I’m not enthusiastic about removing the seats to do so lol

 

Funny….

Anyway, I guess no one is picking up that “backpack” implied “toddler,” so my analogy is flawed.

 

No. You don't. I've installed the front and back without removing seats at all. It's not that difficult.

 

Interesting ... just watched the install video. They site says "not designed for electric seats", but the video shows installing on electric seats. Looks easy enough as long as you do not have long fingernails ...

 

Sorry, to clarify, I have done this on manual seats.

 

More info on that light bar setup, please?

 

Traded my stock wheels for TRD pro wheels with a forum member who needed to turn in his lease. Very happy with the look.

 

I installed Philips Ultinion Sport LED headlights. They are a nice upgrade to the lighting.

 

That’s what I was thinking, to save it from wear and tear, I put them on my 2nd gen. I was looking at “motor trend” wheel cover on Amazon that covers entire wheel, might get that.

 

Wow, very nice. I need someone around me to turn in a lease with

 

I had a gap with my install too but for good measure I went with the Lexus oil fill tube.
