What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did a few minor things to mine tonight:

• Replaced the reverse lights to LED to tide me over until I can pick up the Total Tail thing from Meso (I want the amber turn signals).
• Added a blue TRD Tri-Color badge to the front grill.
• Swapped the radio knobs over to RAV4 ones.
• Installed the MESO Gasshole.

I have a ton of parts still sitting here, just need a solid weekend day to tackle it, or maybe burn up a PTO day in a week or two.

 

Where can i find that led bar button with the taco????❤️

 

no trial/error. I found the correct procedure to follow and should be done any time a lift is installed (front/rear/both)

unfortunately I didn’t have enough time before we left and I regret it 100%. It was horrible driving at night since I raised my ass I had no distance to my lights, probably lost close to a foot in height in the long range.

This is awesome! Thank you sir!

 

Yes, I decided that would be a good idea after the fact. I’ll t-cut it tomorrow, I’m sure it’ll be fine... plus it’s on the roof so I will be the only one that’ll see it if it is scratched.

 

Oahu to Hawaii island on a barge. Apparently my car was on the front right of the barge...

 

I have plenty of pinstripes on mine.

 

What color are you going with?

 

Mine does not rattle at all. It has two (per bracket) knobs you tighten. One to the rail and the second to the divider. No movement.

The bottom of the divider does not rest on the cargo bed. It is about 1-2" above.

 

I hear you. I don't like scratches either. But they are inevitable with the way I use my truck.

 

Day before yesterday, but who’s counting?

I went over and met up with @wahoobie and had him put his Frankentune on the truck.

what an amazing improvement in regards to pedal responsiveness, smoothness of power and a lack of the truck hunting for the right gear to be in. Only driven it 50ish miles but I haven’t had to switch over to ECT to feel like I wasn’t driving a poorly mapped slug.

 

Scratches are Taco tattoos.

 

It's a ch4x4 switch. Got mine from Amazon.

 

Riced out my engine bay. She really growls between 3k and 5000rpms

 

I need to do the same. Last week my truck was real muddy and I made the real stupid decision to run it through an automatic car wash. I have scratches all over my truck from it.

 

Install is super easy. It comes with instructions that tell what tools you will need and torque specs. Took 20 minutes.

 

Nice! Welcome to TW!

 

Just a wash and a coat of The Last Coat.

 

@wahoobie is the man to see for a tune in Virginia! He has experience and can make your truck fun to drive again!

 

very nice! i really want to do this at some point. was it hard? how long did it take?
