What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm not sure where to ask this but has anyone ever put a Limited grill on a SR/SR5? They are the same shape but Limited's is shiny and possibly metal (I didn't touch my boss' grill lol)

 

I didn't personally do them. Was lucky enough to have a local member that did a fantastic job. I have him listed in my build thread if you're interested. He offers the service for members... and thank you

 

I love the idea of this! The more industrial/steampunk the better! I'm guessing you'll have to do something along the lines of of keeping the OEM switch connected and then hide that inside the dash somewhere. Then it's a matter of figuring out which wires gain continuity when the OEM switch is pressed and then running jumpers from the OEM wiring to the aftermarket switch. Make sure to check all your voltages and resistances when the OEM switch is pressed. You may need additional electronic components to simulate that press of the OEM button to aftermarket button. As for the toggle switch, that should just be a matter of running 12V to the LED and a relay to complete the circuit to the push button. Not a true ignition, but it'll look cool.

Keep in mind that the OEM switch also has a functionality within it that allows the truck to start when the smart key battery is dead. With a dead key battery, you can press the Toyota symbol on the smart key to the PTS button and the truck will still start.

Please keep us posted if you get this to work.

 

Magnaflow on the 3rd gen is sweet it does have a nice growl but it is a tad loud on the freeway. I just bought some Raamat and ensolite to deaden it. Hopefully it turns out good.

 

Looks good!

 

What's a "wash"?

 

Where'd you get those at? They look good.

 

SCS wheels and cooper stt pro

 

I also have done the TRD exhaust and Intake. I agree with you about the improvements in performance, though I am sure many would tell us it's our imagination and I guess only a Dyno test would prove any increase in HP or torque. But it's my $$ and truck and I think it was worth the expense.

 

Any advise on removing the decal?

 

I removed mine today. Just apply some heat.. I used goo gone for the adhesive residue that was left over.

installed my clazzio seat covers and black steering wheel cover with red stitching for a little bit of color.. overall pleased

 

Should make the truck really fast now, like adding nitrous. Rofl

 

Added TRD exhaust

 

Looks great, What brand lift? And what size tire wheel combo?

 

Agreed. Used a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive a bit. Once the sticker is off, used goo gone to get the glue off. Washed the areas with soap and let it dry. Used masking tape for a straight line and put the new stickers on.

 

Do you have tow package?

 

Installed a set of Lund Nerf Bars
