What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

1. greased some zerks: Icon delta joints x2 (on UCAs), end links (aftermarket greasable), Total Chaos LCAs.
2. installed LED bed lights. I was tired of having to use a flashlight to see what I was doing back there. I have a soft topper and a full height bed rack, so the OEM bed lights don't do anything. I'll post pics later, but it's the best $25 mod I've done. Here is the kit I got (

$23 MICTUNING 2Pcs 60" White LED Cargo Truck Bed Light Strip Lamp Waterproof Lighting Kit with On-Off Switch Fuse 2-Way Splitter Cable Compatible with Pickup RV SUV and More

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JUE9OLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Same nice sealed construction, it's even IP67 rated and super bright SMD LEDs as the shisters on this forum that sell similar kits for $80. I would guess it's the same thing anyway. The one negative aspect of this kit is the glue is super weak so I had to use zip ties. Eventually I'll redo it with that 3M mounting tape. Guys (and the 4 gals on here) with bed racks, caps, softoppers, etc.... you need to do this.

 

His stickers aren't bothering me either.

 

That's gonna leave a mark.

 

Think you might have found your calling. Nice work.

 

Not today, but all within the last week or so.
OEM bedlights, picked up from Salinas Toyota thanks to a member here posting the link. $50ish with free shipping



Caliraised bed stiffeners as a bday gift. I know some people cut the bed mat but I honestly don’t mind it. This did interfere with my OEM bed extender though. Haven’t decided if I want to deal with cutting and making it work with these or just sell it.



installed my @upTOPoverland Bravo Rack since my 2020 OEM rack wasn't compatible. Justified Reason to upgrade!



Also, got my start on some recovery gear from a TW member. Xbull boards, winch, straps. Solid dude and appreciate the great deal on everything.

And of course, hand washed on Sunday .

 

as a child of the internet, this is important...

 

Finally got the front windows tinted

 

Painted my XD140 Recon wheels with a little orange highlight. Can't wait to mount them!

 

looks great!

 

Not really my style but interested to see them mounted up!

 

Where in the hell did you get that???

I need

 

the internet. found a bunch of stickers, but the actual cat/ memelord is smudge-lord.com. based in Canada so it was a little pricey and took about a month to get here. but it feels good supporting the actual artist and not a redbubble/ etsy knock-off.

 

Only chrome left is the steering wheel emblem and the glove box key hole

 

How hard was the install on the puddle lights and etc relocation? Did it take all day?

 

How hard/easy was it to get the handles out?

 

you & me both!

 

If you are asking me... it’s not hard at all. Two screws. A panel fastener and a good tug and the door panel pops off. The handle then pops in the back of the door panel. Very easy. Did all four in about 45 mins. ( 10 of those was looking for a screw I dropped )

 

Thanks for the info.
Just ordered mine.

I have a solid white cat here at the house and she gives me that damn look all the time.

My kayak is named after her as well.

 

where did you get the handles from?
