What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Man that’s a good looking truck. Soft topper looks awesome on the long bed. What awning?

 

Its the 4ft ARB awning. Does the job pretty well.

 

“Installed” my portable scanner to come on with key. Once I am happy with final placement, I’ll complete the cable management. Nice thing about this placement is the antenna gets decent reception through the glass as well.

 

I agree they do look like SAW boxes. I have a Go Box radio mounted in one of them. It has enough room to be totally self-contained too. 50-watt radio with an 18 amp battery to power it and it has a voltmeter and USB jacks for charging as well. Has antenna jack at the top when opened so I have 5/8' wave retractable antennae for 2 meter and 70cm bands. Even has room for a Signalink to do Winlink with my laptop. Good heavy-duty metal box with EMP protection as well by design. Let's all hope we never test that one.

 

Ok gotcha, that makes sense. I’ll check it out. Great to hear, that’s a lot like what I want to fit in the future. Gotta burn up the current tires before it’s justifiable though haha.

 

Ammo cans are great. They're watertight too if no holes are put in them. Really wish I had the foresight to grab a few of the different sizes...I had a whole warehouse full of empty cans that were just waiting to be trashed

 

Love that ACLB

 

Check "Offerup" too. I've had better success there.

 

Rats got the knock sensor wiring on my 2019 Highlander. Same motor, intake manifold has to come off to access the wiring. $750 repair bill. (independent shop)

Yeah been searching there too, thanks for the tip though. Found a few but not the color I'm lookin for. Might just bite the bullet and have it painted later on

 

Completed

 

can you provide link for this active suspension

 

Viper cut is lookin suweet!

 

That's a good idea.
I need to do something like that.

 

Here is the company's link

I bought the kit from etrailer.com
They are also good to work with.
I bought it primarily to help with hauling my motorcycle on a hitch carrier.
It brought the truck back up from 1 3/4" sag
to about 1/4" sag. This is with a 300 lb bike loaded on a 100 lb hauler.
This is not the best pic but you can see the after result.

 

Added some serious HP today. Can you say, built not bought?

 

Got my CFX 35w mounted to a DFG slide, fits great under my cover!

 

Fixed the bind, works great now. Here are some daylight pictures.

 

That doesn’t drag at all on the giant T55 holding down the bed? I have the same setup that I need to install and I was dreading having to figure out how far towards the center of the bed I would have to mount the DFG slide to clear my Total Chaos bed side stiffeners.

 

Thanks for the link. Been using an aerosol spray that is organic and contains peppermint oil which they do not like. Also use an electronic repellent under the hood as well.

It has served me well so far. $750 isn’t bad considering I had mine repaired at the dealership just for warranty purposes; $2k. My insurance covered the repairs and rental car. Only thing I came out of pocket for was the deductible when I picked it up afterwards.

Edit: We also have one on our Corolla. This is a common issue with Toyota’s and Honda’s since they incorporate soy in their wire sheathing.
