What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Big Shout out @rrentrop ! Just installed the vinyl inlays you sent. They worked perfectly. I had ordered the Chrome
Tailgate inserts from a link on his website and the vinyl from him. I took advantage of the fact that I could install
the vinyl on the chrome inserts prior to installing them on the truck. Made it much more easier to do as I was able to
do it in the comfort of my den the day before and let them dry completely. If you follow his directions, it's a piece of cake.

 

It's a $15 permit for 2 years. In theory the money goes to help maintain trails. Registration here is also fairly cheap at $80/2 years. Water in the pot might be warming up but not hot enough for the frog yet, I can't complain too much when I hear what my Cali brethern go through.

 

Thank You!
Just realized how horrible of a picture that was lol. It's this one:

Love it cause I have it wired in to turn on and off with the truck with the little hardwire kit.

Same as bblake00 replied. I used an add a fuse and tapped into a switched ignition socket on the drivers foot well fuse box (Windshield wipers I think, have multiple add a fuses for both the radar detector, dashcam, and front parking sensors). I ran the wires up the drivers side of the truck and tucked them into the A pillar cover along the left side. Then ran them around the top of the A pillar cover and across the front of the headliner. It takes some finagling to get the wires tucked in the front of the headliner but they will eventually stay. I found it helped to pull down the above head console and reach in for the wire as your tucking it. There is a lot of space up in there also to hide any extra wire, I mean a lot of space lol. The rear camera had a little metal tab on it that I just slid in between the above head console and the headliner. It holds well.

 

Added a TRD badge. I'm old, I like chrome.

 

on the diff skid - are those collars metal to metal contact, or is there a rubber mat/bushing between the skid collars and axle material?

 

The 2 collars on the axle have some adhesive rubber mats. The part where it wraps the driveshaft area of the diff doesnt have a rubber mat...but has cut outs to contour the the Diff's upper lobes. The weight is held by those collars on the axel, but if you do actually bash it on something the part around the driveshaft area would stop the whole skid from just rotating on the axel.

 

got it. thanks for the xtra pics too.

 

Thanks!
What roof rack is that?

 

Where do you see a roofrack??

 

It's a Frontrunner Load bar kit

Help!

I'm in the middle of a 5100/887 install and I can't get the sway bar to cooperate.

Anything will help. It just won't line up
