What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How are the struts holding up with the extra weight?

 

Thanks, hopefully today I can get the rear bumper installed.

 

Finally pieced together my "behind the dog kennel ultra slim sub setup". 10in kicker 400w sub, 1000w ct sounds amp, and the taco tunes add a sub harness. Sounds great, had to do a lot of custom work but it's done and working!



Visited with an internet friend IRL last weekend as well, gotta love taco buddies

 

New shoes.. Went from bronze to machined with 265/70r17 KO3s

 

My truck just turned 65k and as a result I performed the following maintenance:

• Changed the front and rear differential oil with Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-85
• Changed the 6MT transmission oil with Amsoil
  $28 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
  75W-90
• Rotated the tires

Love the Quicksand!

 

Got my Backwoods rear bumper installed.

Cutting the bed was definitely a little nerve racking. I triple checked every measurement before cutting.

I had to notch the driver side bumper support because it shares space with my Bilstein 8100.

Reinstalled my RokBlokz mud flaps.

I think I will make some blank plates for the light cut outs because I will have chase lights mounted on the roof.

 

I have to ask…. Whenever I go to rotate the tires on my truck (every 5k), they’re stuck like heck on. So bad that I have to literally take a dead blow mini sledgehammer and beat them off. There’s got to be a fix for this. What do you all do?

A thin coat of never seize on the face of the tire.

 

This is the answer. If you don’t have any, clean the face and lightly hit them with some lithium grease.

 

Hello all, just got a used but new to me '23 Pro, gonna slap on Sylvania ZEVO Ultra Bright LEDs on the license plate lights, bought the fumoto valve, waiting to do the oil change and slap on, then order weather tech window visors

 

Never seize, as mentioned.

Inspect the wheel, you'll see the circular female indentation on the wheel which matches to the hub male circular protrusion. Hit that area with your anti seize. Clean it up first with a wire wheel on your drill.

 

What’s a fumoto valve?
Anyhoo

BTW the vent does NOT fully close. Not that it’s a big deal but just sayin

 

Any time I have my wheels off, I clean the mating surfaces of the wheels and hubs, and then lay a thin layer of synthetic grease on the wheel surfaces and bore. It's never failed me, yet, isn't enough to sling anywhere, and a hell of a lot easier to clean than never seize!

 

Ya know they only require 83 pounds of torque. Might could be you got salt in the winter or somethings warped

 

What wheels are those? Look great.

 

Tire or wheel?

 

For the record I used a thin layer of marine grease instead of my anti seize on the hub and wheel surfaces. Its not getting slung anywhere.

 

50% Ceramic on the whole windshield. Can see out at night on back roads perfect, was initially worried about that. Was surprised how the family couldn't notice from the interior. 20% on everything else. The black interior makes it look SOO much darker than it actually is.


I've had these interior lights for a year now, love them and wife wanted some.


Found basically the same shit on AliExpress for half the price. Now her '19 Camry LE is cool on the interior. She was stoked.



Plug N Play mods are so much fun, electrical is already a huge pain in the ass to gain access and route properly, so it's so satisfying when shit just fits right into place. The whole car basically had all of the provisions for all these mods, but since it's a LE it didn't have them.

 

late to the party, so don't know if it's a serious question but the Fumoto Valve replaces your oil drain plug with effectively a locking ball valve which means you don't need to remove the drain plug to do an oil change and instead you can just unlock the valve and drain her out.
