What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I paid $150 for brand new take offs in cloth 2 years ago on ebay. I would say around 2-300. Not many takers on OEM seat covers.

 

Hmmm, I guess I need to check mine!

 

It's getting darker sooner but I'm still modding until the snow flies.
Door bowl lights finally arrived after nearly a month in the mail. Stay tuned...

 

Nothing major.. added new Valve caps from 75 Built since Toyota “lost mines” during servicing.

 

What do they look like? Color?

 

Well, I could feel the filter in there, but I dropped one of the screws into engine bay. Couldn't have fallen to the ground. Had to get out a trouble light, looked all around for it, crawled around on the floor under the truck looking for it bumped my head, didn't find it. So tomorrow I'll have to take the other screw to the hardware store and match it up so I can get another one!

 

For anyone planning on buy @KTJO 4x4 door bowl lights, she just release a new ICE BLUE version. Which should be a closer match to the OEM Blue illumination.

 

Curious how You went about doing this?

 

Got my DD fog lights from Hotshot installed. I was worried about the delay emails but I got them really fast and for a good price!

 

Super easy actually. You just use a decent set of plastic pry tools and work the trim into the panel gaps. The trim holds in place by itself. It might take a couple of rounds reworking it to make sure it stays in place. One roll was just enough to do all four doors. (Front doors each have two stripes: above and below the armrest. Rear doors just have the one stripe above the armrest.)

I dig it, its a close match to the MESO kits. It also brings that color into the rest of the interior so the dashboard craziness doesn't feel like an out of place afterthought anymore.

 

Installed long-awaited MESO start button. Haven't seen a lot of the just "TRD" ones on here. I opted for this one, and I like it.

 

@JRLYON I thought the same thing but the internals were identical to my plastic one.

 

Link?

 

I apologize 3rd geners lol dont mean to raid the forum, painted my 2nd gen with the 3rd gen cavalry blue. I tried mimicking the badges and tried going for a 2nd+3rd gen coalition lol. Just wanting to get your opinions on how close the colour looks and the badge location. how do you guys think it looks, let me know, thanks

 

I'm tackling this later on in the week! Any tips/advice? Install time?

 

that looks great. Looks like a lot of work went into it. Good job. The only thing I’m not a fan of is those bumpers. I find they look like a boat. But that’s personal preference.

 

That's one Bad ASS truck my guy, Emblems look factory and Color is on point as well!

 

Thanks man, I built the bumpers for mostly functionality, front and removable panels the can switch to mesh for better air flow on slow trails, high clearance, very open for any on trail front end repairs, still holds a winch and acts like table when kicking back the beers lol, rear is for high clearance, open for ease of access and built around the tow package and hold license place and back up cam. I appreciate the honesty, truly.

 

Thanks my dude appreciate it!!

 

This is awesome!!

Love the color on the second gen. Just don't know if I would put the Pro badges on there
