What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did the biennial rear brake service to clean out dirt and debris from two and half wheeling seasons. However, most of my time was spent wire brushing residue from the sodding paper gasket Toyota puts on the wheel hub



Took the opportunity to upgrade to Wagner drums P/N BD126322E. Unlike OEM drums, these are fully E-coated and machined to achieve balance without weld-on weights. I used Centric P/N 118.44035 drum brake hardware kit.

 

Well, you're not wrong.

Try the white camper shell with horizontal gold and orange stripes at the base of the camper interrupted by the window. Either thick or thin stripes might look good.

Wtf?! Even smaller?! I had the silicone ring on there to make the knobs a little bigger, but the last time I pulled the head unit, the left knob popped in half and I lost the center cap, still hasn’t surfaced in a clean truck. So I replaced them with the bigger rav4 knobs.

 

Dude! 12 bucks? Cant afford NOT to do this.

 

Somehow needs a bottle opener

 

What, dont have teeth?

 

TRD Pro skidplate installed...can't really tell so I spent several hundred for no noticeable difference. But I've wasted more money in worse ways before so...oh well?



What the skid plate looks like. Spent the money to get it Line-X'd and then of course paint matching TRD letters.



I guess if I got a larger lift it would show better? Currently have a 2"/1.5" lift.

 

Did you have any issues with the fitment? Some of the reviews on Amazon claim it interferes with the tailgate closing.

 

Sounds like a perfect justification for a 6” lift and 35s

 

I don't want those headaches but I couldn't help but think about it for a few moments.

 

Agreed, and agreed

 

Yay Amazon bling

And a new battery, and a fresh KDMAXX flash for the AGM battery

 

What is the cost to Line-X?

 

My local place came out to $250ish after tax.

 

Good battery choice.

 

I’d love to go that route, looks great! I’m pretty sure he had to stop selling his covers after a cease and desist from Toyota. If you have a link somewhere let me know!
