What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice find. I don't remember if I thought about that or if I just didn't want an extra connection point.

No bed connector for me. I just routed mine along my bed rack and down in between the bed and the cab. Underneath up to a pass thru spot on the passenger side.

 

Got my TVD Vinyl wheel decals this weekend.




I think they look pretty good. Went with the matte black, which give a bit of contrast to the gloss black on the wheel. Hopefully they hold up through the winter. I would love to get some nice FSW 4runner pro wheels in bronze, but I'll hold off on that until next summer at least.

Also, I have always liked the look of raised white letters on tires. I painted the letters on my Mustang's Falken Azenis last summer and it looks really good. Love the huge font for white letters on a sports/race car. On a truck, however, I think a smaller font, like that of BF Goodrich looks better. Never the less, I wanted to see how my tires would look with RWLs, so I painted them with some water based craft paint that is easy to wipe off with a wet-rag.


I think it's a bit too much. Font is too big on a truck tire, so I'll wipe them clean tonight, and won't be doing it in permanent oil-based paint.

 

Been a minute. Fumoto and Spod Controller completed. The fact that the Spod lighting matches the cab display really made my OCD happy. Makes me miss my Defi Gauges in my STI's.

 

Check out VLED tail light conversion, it's a game changer

 

I really don't see any reason to upgrade your license plate light bulbs

 

What kind of tree is in the pot? Lemon?

 

If your talking the factory Halogen headlights install H9 Philips in the low beams

 

If it's anything like the 30" Rigid I installed a couple of weeks ago it will be a huge help. I swear mine is so bright I can see the future.

I replaced mine...can't remember where I got them. Here's before/after pics. I also got glare covers so the lighting isn't too much.

Halogen


LED


Individual Lamp


Love my glare covers!

 

I have the LED headlights. Thanks for the recommendation though.

 

Forgot to show rear camera with LED license plate area coverage with glare covers.

 

Threw on a Revesol steering wheel using @ClassyTacos YouTube video to make sure that I didn’t skip any steps. Zero airbags deployed!

Bay area metal fab hangers and shackles. Waiting on the DIY crossmember kit. Accidentally got shipped without it. Next up will be shock relocation and 14” Fox shocks.

 

Gave it a bath and loaded it up for a trip to Ocracoke in a few hours.

 

just say "NO" to blockers

 

too dim

Can anyone tell me how to get to the light bulb that is located in the pocket in front of the shifter?

 

If you can't reach around where the gas pedal is you will have to pull the stereo and temp control panel to get to it I think.
