What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not much at all. Very impressed with tires

 

Thanks

 

Yep!

Amber - Dust/Safety light hooked up to the Switch Pros

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100
White - Tapped into OEM reverse. Comes on when I shift into reverse.

I wanted a Dust/Safety Light and a Reverse Light but didn't want another set of lights mounted somewhere else. This gives me both

 

This weekend I finished my audio upgrade. I did the Subaru tweeters a month or so ago, then I put a Kicker powered sub enclosure in. I got my door speakers Friday after I saw on here that Crutchfield was having a sale. Wasn't too hard, except I must have bumped the cable off the door lock putting the panel back on. Oh. Should have said that the door speakers are Kickers also. I went with the triaxial 6x9s with the rubber surround. The rear doors are coax. I'm at work so I don't have the part numbers.

Sounds good to me

I agree. Works great!

 

Awesome.

I'm thinking about doing the same on the Kicker door speakers at some point.

I did the tweeter upgrade early on and thought it made a really noticeable difference.

 

The door speakers sound so much better than stock. I have the non JBL system and new speakers made a huge difference. I was running around with my back seat down because of my dog. But I’ve since installed my Clazzio covers and they will stay up. I can actually hear the rears better now I think I paid about $100 for fronts and back. Kickers were on sale at the time.

 

Sweet.

Sounds as if we have the same factory stereo.

How long did the door speaker removal & install take ?

All connectors mate up to the factory stuff ?

I'm hoping for an easy plug & play swap.

 

Got my Diamondback cover on, installed bike mounts, and switched lights under the cover.

 

Keep in mind, although the Kicker speakers will sound clearer and less muddy than the OEM door speakers (similar to the tweeter upgrade), but they will have slightly less bass than the OEM speakers did. It helps to manage expectations. It's not an issue if you add a subwoofer like @blam827 does. Regardless if you have a subwoofer or not, you'll still be very happy with them.

 

Installed new speakers and installed cali raised ditch lights.

 

Looks great. Will be ordering mine next month after they move to black hinges!

 

Pulled the trigger on Fox 2.5 COs and 2.0 rears both with resis and adjusters. Ryan (@*TRD* ) at Accutune Offroad was awesome to deal with and quickly answered all my questions - ALL of my questions. Very comfortable with the purchase and extremely pleased with the customer service. Ride report to follow after install.

My biggest reason for ditching the Icons is that I'd have to send them back to have them revalved. And even then, I'm confident that they wouldn't be tuned to my exact specs like AO is doing.

I wanted something that made the awful roads of the north east comfortable with out losing the ability to tackle the light offroading that I like to do. I asked how they were going to set them up: We’re taking our most common off-road performance parameters and softening it up to improve comfort at the expense of control on big hits. The adjusters should be in a nice range so you can make it plenty soft, but still firm it up nicely if you want more control. Sounds about perfect!

I'll be curious to hear your impressions once you get them on and a few miles on them. I'm leaning heavily towards the Fox. I think what you asked for is exactly the same as what I'd want. not gonna bomb down forest service roads at 50+ or jump the truck even 1", but want better handling off road with more travel, while keeping if not improving the ride on the road.

 

Did you get the vibration that comes with that amount of lift? And if so, have you done the ECGS bushing that so many have done to remedy it??

 

Right! I hit more potholes than I do ruts, more speed bumps than rocks or trees, and more highways than dirt roads. I'd love to have a dedicated offroad cage but this is my daily driver. I do however pound some dirt with these!

 

Interesting. The Toyota-branded battery on my 2016 died last September, 2 months before the 2-year full replacement battery warranty expired (usually happens 2 milliseconds after the warranty expires.) Before I noticed it was under warranty, I looked up replacements, and all the sites recommended a group 27F, but the battery in the truck was a 24F. When I took it in to the dealer, I made sure they replaced the battery with a 27F -- they grumbled, but did it. I took the opportunity to add a spill containment tray and an acid-absorbing mat underneath the new battery, both ordered from Amazon (cheap insurance -- had a leak in another car's battery that did a LOT of damage.) BTW, one of the indicators of the battery starting to fail (before I, too, started needing jump-starts) was the trip odometer resetting itself overnight. Since the new battery's been in, there have been no further random resets.

I also have my radar detector display set to show voltage when it isn't otherwise occupied (it's an ancient Passport, so no link.) For the non-electricians among you, the voltage ought to show something over 12 when you turn the key on, and jump to 13.8-14.4 after the engine starts and the alternator is charging the battery (assuming a standard lead-acid battery -- absorbed-glass mat [AGM] aftermarket batteries charge at a higher voltage.) After the quick re-charge, the voltage should settle down to 13.8-14.1. The voltage you see is also sensitive to where it's measured -- something like a power port (what we used to call a cigarette lighter socket) is quite a distance from the battery, and the wires that go to it are fairly small, meaning higher resistance, so the displayed voltages will be up to half a volt lower than what you'd see with a meter on the battery itself.)

 

that a 690 in the 2nd pic? I really want one, I still have my BMW F650 Dakar, but don't ride much off road anymore, honestly don't ride much at all anymore. I've had 2 strokes in the last 6 years and so my left side strength isn't what it was. but I miss two wheels
