What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

For the grill I was lazy and tapped off around the grill and removed the toyota emblem.

Always leave around an inch or so border around the area you want covered. That way when it dries you have something to start peeling from. Newspaper for overspray. Dont worry about alittle overspray if it happens, just let dry and wipe it off with a microfiber towel.

Do at least 8 coats, 10min between coats and 30 min dry time before peeling. The more coats the better.

Alot of youtube videos out there for good reference. Hope this helped.

 

Ppl who installed front cam mod - where did you run the wires from front grill cam to dashboard?

 

That is very retro 1985 SR5 cool.

 

Thank you Brian.
Welcome to TW!

 

Yes. 2/3.5

 

Link on build?

 

Don't have one

 

I ran mine down the drivers side, used a metal coat hanger to punch through the bottom of the rubber boot that houses the wiring harness that comes out under the dash then under the dash to the head unit. Very easy.

 

Yeah I wanted something like that but subtle. I some others made but I’m holding off putting them on because I don’t want to over do it

Thanks Bud!
Been watching the critters around here and their actions tell me that winter is going to come at us hard and fast this year. I have a feeling I'll be putting my Blizzaks on waay before Thanksgiving.

 

Cracked my RH rear bumper cap coming off a rock ledge. Replaced it with a black one, Keystone P/N TO1105133C. The cap is intended to be installed while the whole bumper assy is off the truck. Doing this in-situ was more involved than I expected. Had to snake a screwdriver in the gap between the bumper and bedside to pop two button clips. Also had to pop up 4 of the top step pad clips to "persuade" the top flange under the step pad lip.

In contrast to the brittle OEM bumper cap, the Keystone cap is made of a much more flexible plastic similar to 2nd gen mud flaps. Hopefully it will hold up better off-road until I get a steel bumper.

 

Good information. Thanks for the detail!

 

I thought you were looking for a diamond ring.
