What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice! On my to do list as well

 

I’ve come up empty on my search. Does anyone know if it’s possible to add a tall OEM style switch to my panel or do I need to buy a custom panel?

 

Poke around here. Might find something.

I bought an aftermarket garnish from Amazon and I vinyl tinted it. The tint toned down the bright silver accents a lot and made it look a ton better imo. As far as install, this vid should help you. He has the same grille you and I got. Also added shots of the before and after of my garnish I tinted

I didn’t have to recalibrate. No warnings and everything functioned. Didn’t have to add any washers or anything like that as I expected that the sensor would sit in there correctly since the grille is OEM

 

The one I ordered from Mike Calvert Toyota did not come with the garnish. I ordered one off Amazon and tinted it. As far as the camera hole you circled. I currently do not have a front cam on my truck. That’s where the camera mount and the connector cap come into play. The cam cap will be used to plug the hole until/if I decide to install an anytime camera up front. The camera bracket is what will hold that cam cap in place. When put together it should look like this

 

I have a panel from Fitsaprint in my basket but it comes to $190. I’m hoping to just do a diy to my existing panel. I’ll keep searching Etsy. Thanks.

 

Thanks! Spent enough time with my heat gun and glue.

 

I guess those fitzaprint panels went up in price. Shows they're now about $100. I paid $50 in 2022 for pattern J. Aux8gang-1S, C3S.

 

New key fob batteries. Energizer CR2032 used to be made in Japan. Now it says they're from China.

 

Nitto Terra Grappler G3 265/70R17 and SCS F5 17x8.5.

 

New oem lca's showed up today via USPS.

I checked them, they're fine. I just need to source some uca's and I can start swapping in the Fox 2.5's and RXT's.

 

I would have pulled the trigger at that price. $150 CAD plus $40 for shipping now.

 

I got one Etsy pretty cheap. Have had a meso overhead 4, just went to a six.

 

That’s alot of buttons

 

Get the amps off the Aux.....

 

You need to add the bleeps, bloops and whistles from the old Star Trek program.

And do not forget Scotty saying "She caht teak mush mure Capan!" when you drive faster than 65 MPH.

 

ETSY has alot of things like that

 

how long do your batteries last? i never push the buttons

 

A few years from the last set.
