What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Be nice ... he hears that all of the time already ...

 

Yikes! Do you speak from experience?

The OEM metal filter housing I purchased came with that perforated tube.

 

the tube is different on the metal one (relief valve)

 

If it has the perforated tube, then it should be fine. OEM parts are expensive, too, but worth the money. The aluminum cartridge housing in my 2013 Tundra (inherited from my oldest son who passed away last year) didn't have the perforated tube.

 

My brother had a son who died. I will only say that his mother had a difficult time adjusting to it.

 

Installed Sony XAV 9500ES Bundle yesterday, I bought it from Trail Grid Pro. Looking at screen, the engine is on idle. It seems to working all right.

 

Put on a new bumper. Pretty straight forward but could use better instructions. BSM is working so far without calibration

Check out those bolts through the light pod cutout
Need to go back and flip them since they are comically long and stick out below the bumper right now. I’ll visit that once I make some covers for the cutouts and the new tag lights and parking sensor retainers come in

 

My brother passed away almost 20 years ago and my mother has still to this day, never recovered.

 

Good call. I took that off and realized that the OEM skid plate looks horrible, so I just bought a TRD skid plate. And so the mods continue....

 

Very Nice. So someone finally solved the BSM issue with these bumpers. Do the backup sensors also work without issue. I have been waiting for this. Please keep us updated. Thank you!!

 

Didn't have to re-calibrate with my 4WP bumper either. Yup, turn those bolts before the threads get dinged up. As for the holes for the lights, here's a temp solution: https://www.amazon.com/square-plastic-plugs/s?k=square+plastic+plugs

 

There are a couple of mfgs that make a bumper that works with BSM. I haven't had one problem with mine in the 7 months I've had mine.

 

Yea both sets of sensors are working fine. I’ve read people don’t have issues swapping either of them over, but I generally have really bad luck with things that should be easy.
I’ve been watching the BSM bumper market for a year or two. There’s a couple other brands as well, this one is just the absolute cheapest. $600 on sale.
Apogee offroad 2.3k
Buckstop truckware 1.7k
Chassis unlimited 1.55k
4wp is discontinued

That was my plan as well, but the openings are the perfect size to make plugs difficult to source. 3.18 X 3.31”. 90mm plugs look like they will work but aren’t a common size. I’ve got plenty of plastic and kydex scraps leftover from other projects so I’ll figure something out

 

Lost 3 brothers in the last 25. 4 to go

 

You know what they say about men and the size of their................washers?

 

I thought @redwoods should get credit again for a killer picture.

 

Got the @runnin4tacos TRD Pro grill installed on the truck a few weeks ago. It’s amazing how much this grill changes the entire look of the truck. Absolutely love it!

What are you trying to do? Put your solar input and truck input into the EcoFlow power station at the same time? I don't even use a converter on mine. Two solar panels in parallel plugged directly into my EcoFlow. I didn't even bother touching the truck. Works just fine.

 

Yes, both my wife and I had quite a difficult time. She has always been very loving toward our two sons, and our oldest passed away at the age of 38, on Saint Patrick's Day (my father's birthday). We are getting used to the idea that he's not longer with us, but my wife has been the one who has suffered the most. I had no choice but to handle the funeral service, and all the paperwork, including tax records, personal property, and so on. She could not handle any of that. She breaks down if she sees photos of our son, so I have to take care of editing photos and sending them to family members, and our son's friends. It breaks my heart, of course, but I have no other choice but to be strong for both my wife and my son's siblings.
