What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very sore, I've been doing it in phases. Yeah I doubt I'll ever remove them unless they start to look bad down the road. BTW I watched your video before installation.

 

Remove your fingers or the seat covers?

Great job on the installation. Looks good.

 

You figure it out , I’ll help you with marketing and go in 51/49 with you and we’ll go and buy us some new shoes!!

 

Yes it is. With dark gray stitching, not white. I believe the perforated part is the only genuine leather part, the rest is vinyl.

 

Added the Bartact adjustable lumbar support that fit right into their seat covers that I already had. It makes a world of difference!

Ordered a Diamondback HD and KB VooDoo Hi Rise cross bars for tonneau covers. Was going to go with a Can-Back soft topper, but you can read that story here:

Here is the Mobtown Hi Rise Rack. It has aluminum crossbars versus the metal ones from KB Voodoo. The powder coating with Mobtown is also a lot nicer. Same price as KB Voodoo.

 

Made a spacer to put my ammo can in my jerry can holder. Perfect for recovery gear.

 

I haven't done it just yet but....I put an order in for a TRD PRO grill today! Should be in from the dealer in about 2 weeks.

 

Just ordered all mine last night. I was only looking, but they were on sale on Crutchfield for close to the Amazon price and included the wire harness and mounting frames. I was under $125 for the 4 door speakers.

 

I don't have pictures, but I used a set of snap ring pliers to do mine. Worked really well for me.

 

Concur.

 

You won't be disappointed. Super easy to install and such a difference.

 

Put my inserts on today.

 

Updated my key fob with the AJT Design fob. Easy upgrade and puts a little more quicksand color in my life!

 

so this is happening right now. Got some KBro2s 265/75/16 till I get my lift and wheels in a month.

 

Finally installed the TRD pro grill

 

Well, got the raptor lights working again. What a pain. I had to tear the wiring apart and start over. Verified that 12v was getting to the LED's, check. then connected the parallel harness with new butt connectors, heatshrink, woven wrap, and electrically verified it, check. Then I connected the add-a-tap and group, heat shrink, woven wrap, connected, check. Then put the whole thing together on the right side lo-beam switch with a 10A/15A fuse on the add-a-fuse and viola, Raptor lights. I swear the chinese do the worst wiring work.

 

Okay, so I will confess to being impressed....hard to do, given my bitter, cynical and suspicious nature, but....

First off, an apology to whomever posted a week (??) or so ago, something about $14.00 LED back up lamps from Amazon; I can't find the posting, but I owe you a big 'thank you'. I bought the same product off of Amazon.ca and i can't believe the improvement...I think the original post said something about 'the best $14.00 i have spent'....i would say this was the best $16.00 I have spent.

Living north of the 49th, 95% of the time when I check an awesome deal from Amazon.com on the Canadian site it drives me daft...that mythical line in the sand usually means, between whatever outrageous exchange rate is in place that day and whatever Amazon Canada arbitrarily marks up, that the price can be double, or even more...this was one of those rare times when it was a great deal, and cheaper than I could have gotten from the US site....so, happy....

Got my AVS bug/rock deflector on the hood installed....ready for my Break Up (central British Columbia has FIVE seasons....Break Up is that muddy, dirty, dusty, gravelly, yucky time between when the snow melts and the green stuff comes out) trip to the Cariboo; experience has taught me that the bug deflector is also a rock deflector when Highway 97 is covered with the remnants of six months sanding and salting...unfortunately the company that sent the deflector sent the wrong window vent deflectors, so waiting on replacements; apparently, despite assurances, 2nd gen and 3rd gen windows are apparently not the same...yes, I did ask, and the 12 year old in customer service promised me that they would in fact fit. Glad I kept the email confirmation....

And I got my 2m/70 cm antenna installed....

On a mildly related note, I also learned that the folks that write the installation installation manuals for garage door openers give the average DIY homeowner waaaaay too much credit.

 

Yes they were a good buy!

 

Looks good. Did you use the CAN bus led bulbs or regular led's?
