What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Washed and waxed after a bunch of muddin'

Didn’t post here from the weekend, but managed a hood swap! Only about 450 miles and driving through 6 states to get but damn, does it look great!

 

it seems like Toyota engineers tried to make oil changing a less messy experience but I think they failed. Oil gets everywhere.

 

Any insight?

Finding out more about my truck after 3 weeks with it, found out about remote start with key fob and through the Toyota app, any way of bypassing it when I open the door the truck shuts off, why have a remote start then?

 

My thinking is the truck shuts off so somebody can’t just walk up and steal your truck.

 

I have been starting it when I'm a few feet away in a public setting, at home when I'm about to step outside and head out, find it weird/frustrating that it shuts off soon as I open the door

 

I get it, don’t know if that can be over ridden. I’ve only used remote start once just to see if it worked. I didn’t use an app cause I deleted it, I just used my fob.

 

Got my bug deflector in this afternoon. Easy peasy. Def like how stops at edge of the hood.

And one thing I forgot to post is I put some BSM blue mirrors from Suma Performance. Had these on for about a month. Has the turn signal built in.

 

Yep safety feature. I don't have it factory and this may not be worth it for you as much as it was for me not having it at all, but they do make one with a key "takeover" now and it won't shut off when you open the door. And safety feature for that is you have to press brake pedal for like 3 seconds or it'll shut off with just a tap to put in gear.

Any tips with the install of the speakers? I like the video instructions they provide and this install is pretty straight-forward, but looking for any input on tips/tricks to make it even easier and/or better.

 

You are welcome...

 

But the pouches are the easiest part, for front and rear diff. I don’t use the pump.

The HF pump below does well for the transfer case without loosing much.

I’m able to do the front, rear, transfer case and transmission without ramps or jack. Stock and also with a small lift.

I have a 2.7 and I can get the front diff without removing the stock skid plate.

 

Really ironic how something so simple can remind you of something out of your past. I was the superintendent at a golf course and had a young lady at college working for me over the summer. She started coming around after hours and hanging out. She ended up at my house one night naked down to her panties and said "I guess these will be coming off too". I haven't thought of that or her for maybe 30 years until I saw this post. To her credit never expected any special treatment in return. Came in every day there after and did her job like nothing ever happened, so too speak.

 

Good morning!

It's amazing the amount of memories we have that are triggered.

I did it as a joke...since I've been on this board, skewps have/leave mixed impressions for aesthetics only.

Thanks for that story this early in the morning...for me. lol

 

what fob is that on, all of them?

 

Matching windshield sunshades

 

I don’t know about which years and model trucks have remote start option. My 2022 is a Limited that came with remote start. I guess go give it a try with your fob and see. Press the lock button twice fast and hold the button down on the third press.
