What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They are m10x1.25 (fine thread). I cut the nut off and ran the slightly larger 7/16" step reamer bit though the nut side. The hole after the nut will easily accept the 7/16" bolts.
Used 7/16-14x1-1/2" 304 stainless bolts with nuts, split locks, and extra thick washers.

 

Well, Dealer didn’t think it was necessary as they didn’t include it in the wiring harness replacement. Rats chewed through the harness and at some point gnawed those foam pieces for bedding material (I’m guessing). My other guess is that Toyota intended it for noise suppression. (Because I’m me, I will most likely put what’s left of them back on after the spark plug R&R.)

 

Does that hole punch make russian holes?

 

Are those the 13x13x11 crates from Home Depot $11.98ea) or the Walmart crates ($7.48ea)??

 

I did an oil change to mine today. The Fumoto valve that I installed last time sure made this one easier and cleaner to do. I collected a sample to send to Blackstone labs for analysis. I’m thinking about getting a trd pro skid plate for its access door so I don’t have to remove the skid plate. It’s not hard to remove it, but it would be nice not to have to.

Afterwards I took my taco to get Chinese food for lunch. I think that they may have gotten to know me too well over the years after the fortune in the cookie I got today.

 

Be sure to demand devaluation of your vehicle more than just a dollar amount. Most people, when shopping for a used vehicle, immediately pass over the 'vehicle collision' vehicles. I know that I did, even if it were just a bumper cover with minor damage. If you were to ever trade it in, you know the dealer will LOWBALL your value because of it. May as well take the money now.

 

Edit: Juggernaut 16 qt crates at Walmart. In the tool/storage area, not office supplies.

I have one of the 24 qt crates behind the driver’s seat in my AC.

 

Thank you Sir! Good choice.

 

Small things. Cleaned my AWE exhaust tips and put together my new TRD AJT key fob.

 

Akkk ...

 

Installed a Victory 4X4 Blitz front bumper, aluminum version. Also finally got to use the crossbar on my jack to help lift and guide it into place.

 

Any idea what the stock model bilstein rear shocks come on the OR? I’m considering the 5100’s again and also wondering how much more the rear would be on the lift versus the front with the 5100

 

This will help immensely with my food shopping and thing of that nature

 

my cheapest mod

 

was the exhaust leaking?

 

Nope. The tack welded nuts that the bolts screw into was just a pile of flaking rust. I am sure it would have been just fine to leave it alone. It gave me something to do and I feel better about the connection.

 

I believe they are 4600s.

 

Sometimes it IS the rust that hold things together!

 

I think it serves as a heat shield. I left mine, up to you.

I have the same purple floor jack. I wish HF offered that color before I bought the yellow one.

 

After a year of sitting in my garage, I primed and painted my cali raised sliders with rustoleum, the fork lift helping here is a Toyota
Just need another weekend of good weather to install them now
