What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've always turned the A/C and recirculation off a mile or so from home to let some of the condensation evaporate or my A/C will have an odor next time I start it up. It tends to happen more frequently during our monsoon season when the humidity is up. I've noticed this in all of our vehicles so it's not Toyota specific. Mildew build up might make it worse over time as well.

 

Good to know! I got here last monsoon season so thats probably why it never noticed it in TX, cause it wasnt happening.

Thanks!

 

Got the bakflip f1 installed and dialed in today

 

Nice. Easy install?

 

had my rci rear bumper wrapped today to “closely match the truck!” (not spot on but i don’t mind)

 

Doubt it, but good luck! LoL

 

Pretty easy. About an hour or so by myself ( the dog was no help).

 

Towed this home...

 

Decided to fab a better way to carry my rods, don’t have very expensive gear, but nice to have it up and out of the way!

 

Damn! that looks good, nice job.

 

i dunno...i am 2wd with no locker...

 

finally got around to putting on the hood decals that i got from @amirak over two years ago...driver's side is a little off, but not enough for me to get another one and reapply...those things are above my skill set to line up properly...

also derped the skewp black and the letters red on the grille i got from @customcargrills

the letters didn't turn out very nice when you look at them closely, so i'm going to pull the backing plate and re-spray it...all in all it was a fun four hours...

 

I’ve considered this myself, how much of a loss did you take if any? I’m curious on the financial details

Just a heads up man. I recently put ceramic pads on because the reviews said no brake dust.
But I’m noticing way more brake dust than the factory pads. Those OR rims don’t show it much at least.

 

Painted some chrome.

 

Looking good!

 

I did most of my CBI T3 HC bumper install today with one of my buddies. I'm the fat dude in shorts. We got the bumper dry fitted with the help of my tractor. I am using two separate PDFs and 3 posts from here to get this done. I have zero skills at doing this shit, and just making it up as I go along. To quote Max Powell from YouTube "Do your own work!". I still think I messed up on it where you cut the body panel back by the tail light. After the CBI measurements on the bed it cuts off right above where this really thin metal piece connects to the bed stock bed stiffener is at. Using the angle grinder on the truck was scary as shit. Here are some pics of the progress.

Rear bumper removed! This was hard and not hard. Muddled through getting this done.



First cut about 2" under the line we are supposed to cut. This was pretty scary.



My doggo supervising the after cut discussion on how bad we probably messed it up.



Tractor time getting the bumper lifted up. I got the steel one and it weighs a like 150+lbs.



Dry fit photos. Finishing up tomorrow to get everything bolted down and torqued. By the anyway know the torque spec for this? CBI has nothing listed. I didn't see anything here in a search either. I plan to go with 100 ft lbs and check it after a trip.




That is what I did to my Taco today!

 

Looks like you guys did a pretty good job! You’ll have to post some pics once you get everything bolted in! Awesome work for a do-it-yourself job! The best part is you can take pride in knowing you did it yourself (with a buddy; gotta give him kudos too)! Not to mention the money you saved on the installation equals more mod money!

 

Looks good. I really dislike all of the interior chrome!
