Anybody know where I can find a dust cap and quickly. Rockauto doesn't seem to have one. Mistakes were made




Edit: Found on ebay for 25 bucks shipped. So make sure you secure your hubs gents. @tacoma16 I literally had one job that night hahahahah

 

^$25 is a good deal! They were $40 at the dealer parts counter when I replaced my wheel bearings (or $28 + shipping at Cochrane Toyota online).

Wonder if a 3rd gen tailgate handle flap will fit in that location?

 

best way to learn....As long as nothing else has fallen off......Hopefully the weather is good so we can do the other side. Off all next week if need be.

 

Friend gave me a 3D printer that i am in the midst of getting set up, working on some models. Trying build a representation of our splash guard clips so that maybe i can print some out. If this works (and functions as intended), i may be able to print some out for the masses. If you all have other ideas of what i could build id like to hear them lol

 

^Good luck! Fastener clips with "engineered" flexible elements are probably the most challenging candidates for 3D printing. Meanwhile you can buy bagfuls of them with 50-100pcs on Amazon for $5-6.

How big is the printer? Does it have the capacity to print filler plates below the headlights of 3rd gens? (so there's no need to cut up the stock bumper cover when a plate bumper is installed)

 

I say custom switch panels, cb mounts or cell phone mounts.

 

First gen door handle

 

A bracket to attach a dash cam to the GoPro mount would be great.

 

omg hahah too soon.

x2

that sounds doable. Maybe PM me a quick sketch and dimensions. Since youre in waterloo it'll be easy to generate something precicely

 

thats why I wanted to do one and see how it turns out. I dont really think I am an engineer master at this lol. I would say its about 4" by 6" so relatively small stuff. what size of filler plates did you have in mind?

Switch panel would be dope. I need to make one for the camper back haha. I just cant decide what to house. 1 x USB, 2 x 12 v outlet and what? Cell phone mount would be good...

 

I'm currently running rp for the diffs. Did some research and found a vid on YouTube where rp ranked worse than all the other oils they tested. Very runny in comparison.

 

This piece circled in the picture below. It will take a lot of careful measurements. I don't need it (yet!) but I can see it being very sought after.

 

Here we go gents...

this one would be neat https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2141340

3rd Gen guuys -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3118189

 

Went big and balled out on the $50 one

 

Ouch

 

Manual Shifter Knob!!! I had to re-stitch mine...

 

Mines titanium, unstitchable!

 

A replica of the trd pro badges would be cool. A guy in the states does it but to get them to us would be $200. Just not really worth it
Make it happen!
