What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not sure if I'm going to keep it this way but threw an old FJ40 emblem on the grille I built. Paying homage. Painted to match my skid and some other accents. I like it bc it's unique and simple but it's not quite where I want it yet. Thoughts?

 

what are you doing for locks? I just installed the same thing, and am on the hunt for something better than shitty Master locks. I’ve got it narrowed down some as far as what specs will fit on the box. 7mm thick shackle, 7/8” shackle length for sure (as long as the body of the lock isn’t too wide). I have an American a1105 on the way to test (6mm diameter, 1” shackle length), it’ll be tight but hopefully fits. If so I’ll order 3 more keyed to match.

 

Has anyone tried these?

 

Not a bad idea. Do you have closer pictures of the wheels? How long would you expect the coat to last on wheels?

 

Ha ha! That bag actually belongs to our friends that were traveling with us (and probably pre-dates my 6 month-old Taco by a few years), so it wasn't an attempt on our part at color coordination.

 

It certainly could have been. We were actually staying in Manteo, but drove down to ramp 25 or 27 (just south of Salvo) each day to set up our beach encampment for the day.

 

Hi, can you share your rack set up please, love that it works with the tonneau.

 

Taken this quote from a thread about 'performance coils':

"OVT said that the OEM packs were stellar and robust. He called BS on another coil pack 'upgrade.'"

The cross bars are from BillieBars.com
Bike racks are Yakima. I had to modify the front clamps a bit to fit the large cross bars.
I also added lights which are tied into the bed light circuit.

 

Got the KDMax tune on Friday. Instantly noticed a massive difference in how it drives. Saturday took it up to the mountains uphill accelerations was smooth with no gear hunting. Best part is the increase in MPG, up 2 -3 MPG.

 

Which tune did you go with?

 

Lipstick on a pig this weekend.



I did have a problem with the climate control knobs. The little plastic piece that is used to transfer light and point out what the knob is set on would not transfer from the OEM to the MESO Custom knobs. It is too big. Anyone else have this problem?

 

I can't recall the number but it was the normal setting KDmax.

 

Im thinking about getting it too. Talking to a tuner near me. Still on the fence, since i just got the truck last yr.

 

Jump over the fence lol, I think its my favorite mod that I've done. I have less than 1900 miles on it.

 

I'm currently leased and my service manager at the dealership is A-OK with me having gotten the KDMax Tune. Actually he helped put me in contact with one of the local tuners out here.

 

Just circling back (now that I'm at a keyboard).

Looking up:



I put the unit a little high to be able to use that lower compartment. I have the unit's remote in there.

Side:



As I think I mentioned before, this was installed in to a Non-JBL Premium unit. However, when you order from the Crutch, the dash kit they send you has the front garnishes for both the 7" opening and 6" base model opening.

I have this hooked up to a JL VX1000/5 with integrated DSP, so all of the head unit's high pass/low pass functions are shut off (set at through). I also retained all OEM functions via Maestro i-Datalink. Hope this helps.

 

Pic of couch? I thinking of the old suburu brat seats as I type this

 

Thanks man, that looks great. Sorry if I missed it, what's the model on the head unit?
