What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Congratulation!

 

Several.

• My location is not particularly windy.
• High wind is not usually associated with clear days and high heat (in my area).
• The bottom is held in place by the wipers.
• There are 3 suction cups holding the top in place, one in the middle on the roof and one on each front door window.
• Some wind getting under the cloth allows heat to escape.
• It hasn't blown away yet.

 

I love my switchback

 

I went out and bought Duck Fabric Cloth and made some shades for my Camper shell.

 

Added Wildpeak AT4s 265/70R-16. First time having a mobile installer put them on, way more convenient. Now to remove the paint dots.

 

Those paint dots are what they use to balance the wheels, just keep them on.

 

Duct tape!

 

The dots are a rough approximation from the factory as to the balance of the tire at the factory. The yellow dot is to be mounted next to the valve stem. It looks like yours aren't. Not a biggee. As long as they are balanced well no harm no foul. There really isn't a problem to remove them as they aren't really used for any real purpose except for original install and it's not critical for that.

 

I’m still waiting on someone to do night rider lights…….

then you need a speaker to make the wooo wooo sound. I’m not doing it to mine but if you want to be different

 

The others are correct, the paint dots are used for mounting the valve stem. Not sure about multiple paint dots, mine luckily only had the one yellow dot to line up with.

 

Luckily, Knight Rider LEDs aren't compatible with third gen: https://youtu.be/_ROYtD3dMJc?si=ZlDGSebX9Yu-daIC

 

• Red dot: Indicates the tire's high point
• Yellow dot: Indicates the tire's lightest point, or where the wheel weighs the least

 

Added demon Tow hooks. Contemplating if I should paint my license plate holder red or wait until I decide to get a TRD grille with red Toyota letters

 

I’ve seen them on RAV4s.

 

IMHO Go easy on the red. It can become too much quickly. However, do what looks good to you.

 

Dude, you need to paint those license plate skulls with glow-in-the-dark paint !
Freak out the neighbors kids.

 

Finally installed my rod holders, they fit perfect.

 

I’ve install a bed step. Pretty easy install.

 

You just HAD to do that! You know how many idio ... er ... "creative people" occupy this forum ...

 

its where the valve stem goes......they missed
