What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Man those look good! Happy to see them rolling on! Almost as if I knew they'd look good on a Lunar Rock OR

 

Not looking for an adapter, but thanks anyway?

 

Noticed your fastrak. If you are in CA, they have small stickers that they will give you for free and it eliminates the box

 

Almost the same connector, there is a little green tab that needs to be removed from the harness. It took 2 seconds to pop it out with a box cutter

 

I swap it between two vehicles and I like being able to switch between 1-3 passengers for the carpool option, which gives you a discount.

Edit: I travel on I-15 a lot. Sometimes alone, sometimes with my boyfriend. If I have my transponder and select a carpool of 2 people, my express lane trip is free. If I had the sticker, it would charge me to use the express lane unless I email them to have them remove the charge, which is a pain.

 

My '21 premium has only wired Android auto, and it was quite frustrating until I got that wireless adapter lol, but your welcome!

 

I have ONLY used the key to open the door and tailgate. I do not own a fob. (Drvr side has the only door key hole, but two turns of the key unlocks pax side also.)

 

Picked up some guards for the BD ditch lights and threw in Desert Does It seat jackers. My only regret is not installing them day 1 of ownership. Truly a night and day difference in comfort.

 

Decided to tackle the wiring for the fog lamps. I wire tucked as much as I could and found a fun way to run the wires through the frame/body openings that is safe against getting cuts worn into the wire. I added rubber grommets to all of the openings. Even managed to grommet a double walled opening I could only access with my fingers. I am pleased with the result. Though, they don't work as I think I shorted the output on the Spod when I tested the passenger side. (The driver's side wires were stripped and had coiled up and touched the frame/body. I'll troublshoot this weekend.

 

In the last few months, hit a milestone on a road trip, added some topo accents to the interior, got it tuned, upsized the front brakes and rotors using ones for a 5th gen 4runner and had the exhaust reroute done.

 

Nice! Where can I find those topo design trim pieces?

 

*brakes not breaks.

 

These look like solid quality. I dig it!!

 

I got them from 1221Laser but I don't remember them being that much. You may be able to find some cheaper ones out there.

 

Did you notice any difference in road feel with the bigger 4R rotors and calipers? (Harsher ride or no difference.) TIA

 

No difference in the ride quality. I did notice an improvement in stopping distance. Certainly gained back what I lost after adding e-rated 33s, steel bumper and winch.

These two threads were very helpful in deciding what direction I ended up going in. Even though the 1st one references a 2nd gen, I can confirm it also works on the 3rd gen platform.

Awesome, thanks!

 

So these just change the seat angle a bit which help alleviate back pain or makes it more comfortable etc?
