What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That looks great. Looks like you have the orange trim on your dash, does the color of the steering wheel cover match it pretty well?

 

I’ll be copying ur magnet trick eventually

 

For today’s “after everyone’s in bed” project, I added a set of front mud flaps to hopefully keep the side of my truck cleaner.

I used two of the supplied self tapping screws to mount them to the fender liner along with three of the stock fender liner bolts. Hope they last and provide enough coverage when I move up from the stock 245’s to 265’s.

 

Finally finished running the harness for the beat sonic kit this weekend since I was pulling the dash off to install the stealth pro shifter. I bought it months ago and it’s been stored in my “mod” stash. After it was all buttoned up my front cam wouldn’t come on, same with the rear. Put it in reverse and that didn’t work either. Checked all the connections to no avail. Hopefully beatsonic will be responsive.


At least it wasn’t a complete waste- with stage2 stealth pro shifter installed. Installing the diy kit was quite satisfying. Blacked out stitching too.


I have made it a habit to press ect before shifting from park and I’d have to find the switch on the dash. Now there is no searching for the button With the press of a thumb.

Friday I adjusted the front rokblokz metal bracket. I didn’t like how it pulled back on the inner corner of the flap so I bent the angled bracket (was roughly 60* angle) to a 90*

Last weekend installed 1.25 spidertrax spacers. Will have to recheck on the torque this week. Used a red scotch bright pad to remove the surface rust, cleaned it up, put a thin layer of anti seize on mating surface and red locktite. While I had the wheels off I went ahead and deep cleaned the inside wheel bowl. Definitely plan on painting the stock wheels soon…

 

Did the same, worked fine. I was definitely concerned for a while.

 

That’s a great idea!!!!

 

The red stitching is the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this @MESO mod! How’d you black out the stitching? Sharpie?

 

I installed the same! it shocks me how many people have never attempted to learn manual

 

Did this today

 

Not as well as I would have liked, but it isn't that bad. I am going to have to redo it though. I rushed it and made some mistakes.

 

I installed hid in headlights and led in fog.

 

Great looking truck! Was wondering what the Honey Badger would look like with that light setup! Shopping bumpers now, might be the way I go.

 

Care to share more details regarding the DIY roof rack?

 

I used a fabric marker with a fine point tip that wasn’t so fine lol. It took multiple times cause it wicked into the stitching and I may take it off to do another coat if you will but it’s definitely better than the red which would stand out like a sore thumb on my truck

 

All incoming drivers now be like:

 

It looks like it in the pic, but I didn't. I think I'm going to order one of those decals the same color of the truck.

 

I suggest staying away from ADD products (honey badger etc). I've talked to two others who have had fitment problems and the company doesn't want to deal with any of it. They'll just tell you your truck is off, not the bumper, then won't answer you anymore. I've also been told the winch is almost impossible to get on. I'm not looking forward to installing mine. I wouldn't trust this bumper to winch without reinforcement brackets like this.

 

If anyone is interested my old truck is for sale at the local dealer

I'm so loving the 4runner......

 

You can already see the glare from the fogs in this picture lol.. RIP to anyone in front of you when you have those on. I'd recommend some drop in LED replacement fog lights - I run the morimoto xb-led fogs and they have a great cutoff that won't result in major glare for oncoming traffic.

 

that is good to know, I will stay away from ADD. I will head back towards Victory 4x4.
