What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Score! I wanted a front recovery point. Got this today for cheap. It wouldn't work with the bumper the original purchaser installed. Been sitting in his basement for over a year. I looked at other options, but nothing is rated near this ARB. I'd hate to throw something on there used for cosmetics (a lot of people are installing a certain evil bracket on this forum) and have someone think it's a real recovery point only to have it fail and hurt someone. It was this or the mobtown front receiver, but after reading a thread on that I am glad I got this. Trying to figure out if I am going to leave it red though...



A friend was at the Brisbane 4X4 show yesterday and sent me this teaser. He's got a Prado and he's looking at the Hilux for his next vehicle. I sure would like to get one of these diesel LCs!

 

I have a 2020 with a power driver’s seat and I just installed the Desert Does It seat jackers, along with the MMP and fire extinguisher mount. First off, you do need to readjust the height after installing them since the front of the seat might be too high but once you do it does make it feel like the seat has more thigh support. I purchased a second set to install on the passenger side but I haven’t determined if I’m going to move the fire extinguisher over there yet because when I’m on a road trip I tend to have a bag or two in the passenger side/seat and having to dig through them in an emergency wouldn’t be good.

Installed CaliRaised LED light bar this afternoon!

 

I clay barred then used the TW ceramic polish and wax (not spray) and a orbital. I'm no pro, but it looked great! I use the ceramic detailer after/between washing.

 

180mph hurricane rating. And I'm not near any beaches so it's very unlikely the building will ever see close to it's rating.

I also have a 10x20 that I use as a woodworking shop.... It gets SO MUCH hotter than the garage. I set up a window AC unit in it and before I go in i would spray it down with water, at one point I even put a sprinkler on top of it LOL... That would drop the temp 10-25 degrees quickly.

 

How far can you move the power seat forward before the wiring under the seat hits the mount panel (without anything attached to the panel)? My wife needs the seat at least 3/4 of the way forward.

 

That is a plus to know. Thanks again for the information.

 

It actually just clears the MMP (multi mount panel) EVEN with a fire extinguisher mounted. Of course, access to the the extinguisher is compromised.





First pic is at my normal seating position. I’m 5’9”.

Second and third pics are with the seat all the way forward.

 

I just want to give a shout out to Cali Raised LED, I bought a set of their rock sliders, and ordered them on March 11th, and they were ready for pick up on March 12th. Very happy with them, Jacob was very nice, and very professional. They seem to be well built and are very sturdy looking and feeling. I've got them on the truck now, and went to Barnwell Mountain Recreational area today, and; while I didn't actually end up sliding on them, the peace of mind was worth every penny. I have no doubt about them.

 

Just the info I needed. I think you sold me on it. Thanks for the pics.

 

Diode Dynamics 5000k led license plate lights. Don’t know why Toyota couldn’t put LEDs in there to start with.

 

Yes there are more than one on the market. I just went with the lowest priced one I could find at the time though.

 

Blacked out my wheels today





Came out pretty decent for a $45 vinyl decal set, I’m happy with it

 

Old destroyed Taco shelter out.



New extra heavy duty snow rated in.

 

Put on the TVDVinyl Decal SR5 wheel decals, matte black. And paid her off this week after only two years.

 

Went old school and got rid of the chrome OR taillights. Went with the all red OEM
