What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Don't want to join the argument but they are not the same. The model # on mine are 994036. They are new from AVS. They do not stick out as far and cover lower on the window. Yes they are in channel mount but different than your.

I put one of these on my seat this morning. Like the way it looks and is easy to slip on and off the seat. Going to order one for the passenger seat next month when the eagle makes a depository in my checking account.

 

I bought the full Ref 450Q kit. I did it myself as stated above. My vehicles don't go to any other garage other than mine.

 

It goes back in the shop Monday to get the 4 wheel alignment. They ordered new bolts to put on the shackles that came in Friday.

 

Today I washed and waxed it. In the last couple months I added running boards, Husky floor mats, and Truxedo Truxport cover. Next is a set of Fuel Maverick wheels with K02's, but that's going to have to wait until our kitchen remodel finishes bleeding me dry.

 

Did another lift install today. OME 888 Coils on 5100's set at 0, LR UCA's, Dakar rear leafs, and 5100's in the back. Truck turned out so awesome! I'm sure the other member(Josh) will post up pics in a bit.

 

Pictures, STAT

 

Mine were before today. Had them replaced under warranty cause they squeeked horribly. Dealership said it was the second set they replaced so far

 

ha ha, that's all on Josh.. I know he took quite a few. But his truck, so I'll let him do the honors of posting pics. @OuTkAsT

 

Parked next to Mr. Lifted twin at the shooting range today. Looks nice with the lift I may have to do that to mine.

 

Great looking truck!

3 questions....

How well does that bed cover fit? Easy install? and Once rolled up, how much space does it take up? Like 2-3 inches?

Wondering if my little boat will fit with it rolled up.

Looks to be more reasonably priced than a lot of the others.

Thanks in advance!!

WOW. Makes the truck look bigger in every way. Wider and all.

What size lift? You know?

Im also liking those blacked out tail lights too.

 

Saw the compact in-dash amp install, and thought that it was terrific; I noticed you got a little bit attacked for asking your question. I'm new here, but that makes me sad.


SO... Here's my first swing at it. Maybe someone can let me know if I'm missing something important?

1x:

$140 Kenwood 2156568 KAC-M1804 Compact 4-Channel Amplifier

Amp: Kenwood KAC-M1804
1x:

$5 Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

Wire Harness - To Speakers: Metra 70-1761
1x:

$11 Metra 71-1761 87 - 94 Toyota Vehicle Harness

Wire Harness - To Head Unit: Metra 71-1761
2x:

$10 Rockford Fosgate RFI2SW High Level RCA Input Plug, Speaker

RCA Pigtails (If you don't want to cut up the Amp's wiring)
alternatively to the RCA pigtails... you can also get 1 red/white rca cable and cut it in half.

You'll also need a soldering iron/solder (Or I guess you could do butt-splices and a crimper), heat-shrink/electrical tape, various zip-ties, wire strippers and basic tools like that.


One big question I have outstanding is whether or not additional power is necessary to run to the amp, rather than just tapping into the head-unit's power supply.

 

Fresh tint, Bilstein 5100s all around with .85 setting the in front with 1 inch in the rear and 265/75r16 KO2 tires! Now, I'm waiting on my bed decals to arrive from Far North By Design!

 

@Diego1931 if you look at my build, it shows how I wired it. Wires were not like the YouTube shows. I used the same harness as him too.

 

Thanks! I figure if it's goofed I'll just switch the bullet connectors around.

 

@TacoFi3nd pm me

 

To me, I was a mechanic for 20 years, from the pics they don't really look that bad. I personally wouldn't be stressed about it. Depending on where you live, rust cam build up quicker

 

Has anybody done the 400W anytime mod? I guess it's different from the 2nd gen cause I just can't figure it out.

 

Did you go with 55w kit? How does it compare with the opt 7 led?

 

Looks good bud!
