What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tacos first time seeing snow.

 

That is a good looking truck man. I love the barcelona red.

 

There's really no such thing as chrome paint but you can get pretty close. If you went with something like the BAMF grill, you would just use the plexiglass as the insert. You don't have to cut any letters or anything into the plexi itself. The edges would turn white however that's of no concern. You would buy single 12V LED light bulbs, carefully drill countersink holes into the edge, and mount the LED bulb inside the edge of the plexi. If you want to get rid of the white edge, a propane torch takes care of that. The paint in general shows through plexi VERY nicely, super high gloss.

 

Kendra, I hadn't looked at their's, thanks for the link. They definitely have a good photo gallery of the diffetent color trucks.

 

That recessed lettering on the BAMF Grille is removeable so you could paint it any color you want. With a Black truck you could paint it White or MGM and get a nice contrast. The TRD PRO grille letters can also be repainted although the stock lettering would look good on Black truck.

 

TRD Pro grill is growing on me, just no way it's worth what it's currently selling for. It's a hot item, 6 months from now it's come down. A year from now it'll be on ebay for under $200 Maybe ill grab one at that point but for now i'm perfectly happy with the SR grill. I made a custom mesh insert behind the grill which made it even nicer IMO

 

Ha paying them to install a $250 spacer lift doesn't cost $1300!
The shop that my dealer uses to install the lifts only charges $500. That's lift, install and alignment. Not that I'd ever have the dealer do anything for me besides schedule free maintenance and TSB or recalls. I was just really shocked to see that kind of mark up.

 

Even with stock tires this truck is amazing in the snow. I keep pushing it but I don't wanna slide out and total it

 

Ah I agree 100%, I wasn't saying their price was justified. I installed mine by myself in about 3 hours, $500 is reasonable for labor and alignment. Anyone local to me that wants their lift installed, let me know. I've been a mechanic since I was a kid, grew up in a car / truck family.

 

Appears I have a stalker.

 

The back plate is a separate piece that could be painted or vinyl wrapped with whatever color or design you would want. It just bolts on behind the letters. Might be another option for those interested?

 

Same kit I used. You just have to verify the wiring as the connectors come unassembled. This same wiring loom is used on a few different vehicles.

Anyone know the exact speed u can drive in 4 wheel drive lo?? I assume no fasterrors than 10 15 MPh. Cause low gear ratio. And also I wish the multi Terran can be used in 4 high

 

Depends on what you are looking for. My sports are plenty bright, I wanted functional fog/rain/snow lights that work in those conditions. The pro's in my opinion are asking for someone to be pulled over as they are to bright and they are definitely not road legal, mind you neither are the sports, but the glare/halo around the light is not as distracting/blinding from what I have seen.

The sports (wide cornering) literally shine almost as far as my high beams do, they just do not provide as full of a light. meaning the tree's out farther are not lite up.

Customcargrills.com. Cleanest grill. Love it, old school style

 

Not quite the TRD font, but gets the ideas across.

 

Thanks, that's awesome. I'm sure they have the Font in their computer so will tell them to use the same. Just wanted to send them the pic so they know what I want. Thanks so much for doing that. Not very computer savy when it comes to that stuff.

 

Installed TRD Bro Tails...

 

Cup protectors? Weird, I just noticed how scratched up mine are after only 4 weeks of owning it! Where did you get em?

I installed Husky X-Act floor matts, stellar product. Ordered a Truck Covers USA tonneau too, stoked to be able to lock the back up

 

Those look sick. Sry if u already mentioned it but how much did you pay and do you have a link for where to buy

Hey I just had this thought now after looking at yours agian,did you buy the toyota letters separate? If so great idea
