What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It was an amazing experience!

 

Got them from JBL.com, they are just giant bluetooth speakers that can link together. Each one runs on its own built in battery, with like a 18 hour run time.
But I got these for use with my daughters dance team, I dont really have much use for them my self, but I let the guys who did my wood floors use them while they were working.

When ever I get to redoing the suspension again… I’m upset I didn’t buy the Perry’s before the icons I’ve got in there. Maybe I should just get a set because the icons were cheap. Fucking Tacoma world.

 

Installed a front facing camera for my Aucar head unit. Was pretty straight forward after I figured it out and realized i didnt need a whole harness/kit (from r4t) with this unit. Just a $40 camera from Amazon and it plugs right in and works flawlessly in the camera app already installed. Did a little write-up here for anyone that has this head unit.

Disclaimer about head unit tho If you're considering purchasing it.. Be aware, it does have some caveats and may require contacting support for inital updates regarding some controls/functions to work.. They may have integrated these updates into new units they roll out, but idk. Its a great android unit tho. Had it for a bit now and no issues, outside of initial functions not working properly when first installed. I like the android capabilities for sure tho. Favorite features are ability to use Torque Pro and auxbeam switch panel app, navigation screen size... And now the front camera.
Thumbs up in my book

Those look really good. How do they attach. Do they like snap on or is it adhesive ? What brand are they ?

 

I have the same ones, AVS (auto vent shades) these are the smoke low profile ones. They are in channel with 3M adhesive. Amazon link. The red is where the 3M tape is, roll down the window, you clean the window channel, undo tape, stick into window channel and roll up the window. I believe you're supposed to leave it rolled up for 24 hours once you apply it to really get it to stick.

 

KO3 come in Load C now. They replaced the KO2 which only came in Load E

 

sorry didnt see this until now. another user responded with the information, its the MotivX drain kit. Comes with a funnel that threads into the fill tube (very handy), a machined metal cup to remove the filter canister (incredibly high quality) and the banjo-style conenctor to drain the oil from the canister before removing. little pricey but Made in the USA and makes it a much easier and cleaner job. I also have the metal filter canister as well.

 

I also have the in channel AVS in smoke, it does say to leave your windows up for 72 hours after install... I did roll mine down the next day at a drive though after installing them the night before, but I didn't leave them down while parked or driving... Here is a TMI video on install...

 

Nice set up. I was looking at the same thing. How do you like how your Rotopax and mount function. I have a 3 gallon and was looking at the same mounting set up. Is it sturdy enough? I have a Backflip so my side rail is lowered, do you think it will cause me any mounting issues?

 

Needed a little Jesus for the work commute

 

Super easy swap so you should probably go ahead and spend the money ;-) TW really should be getting kick backs from all these companies......

I have archive garage bump stops in the rear which were a huge improvement over stock but now I wonder if the Perry parts would be better for my uses and really want to buy them to compare the two.....


Also wanted to add that I used a C clamp as a wrench to remove my OEM bumps and it worked great.

 

Exactly how @K9tacoma described. They've been solid since the day they were installed a few yrs ago.

Edit - They're AVS low profile.

 

Thanks! Only been mounted a few days now but it's quite sturdy despite a simple "Fishbone" mounting plate. What you see in the pic is the lowest setting option for the pre-drilled holes at least. The top of my 3 gallon can clears under the height of the bed frame by <1" (photo). I also do like the Lox mount, it's simple enough for easy off/on, no freeplay noticed yet from can or mount.

 

It is forecast to be 115 in PHX this weekend ... but it is not the humid sticky heat back east ... it is a "dry heat"

 

Shoot, my Guage was reading 120 just last Thursday think it was. Typically hotter by a few degrees here compared to phoenix.

 

Looks like your getting some good MPGs

 

Complaining about 101 ... lightweights!

 

Lol. Unless like you said, its humid. Fuck that. 101 and humid af would be worse. I'd prefer the 120 dry heat over 101 (any temp really) with high humidity any day.
