What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It was/is a temp solution until I figure out where I want to mount then fix harness length. It’s only zipped and to be honest bothers me where it’s at and how. Some have made a bracket for that jhook for more of a permanent solution (I want to hide it so that’s why the zip)

 

2019 TRD double cab: OME887 and 5100’s today in my garage, along with torch ADLs.
Dynamat all doors, retweet upgrade, Rockford coax all around, LEDs interior, and exterior. Toyota bed mat, and Toyota bed extender with Tiger T3 tonneau cover.. wet okole’s on order..

 

I may to go that route, I’m getting tired of that black strap blowing off every time I go through the car wash. That rack looks great by the way.

 

30% is bad ass, I only did 50%

 

Got a little detail done

 

No.

It all started with Ivan “Ironman” Stewart. They’re considered the “Toyota heritage colors”.

Took the air dam off.

 

"But that was some serious military grade, secret squirrel level adhesive shit going on there. What I thought would be a 1/2 hour job, turned into almost 2 hours. Fishing line, heat gun, a bottle of adhesive remover, thumbnails worn down to the nub, and a destroyed credit card later, and I got the old adhesive off and new emblems on. Fucknuts...that was way more than I thought it would be."



You broke me up with the description -- wife is looking at me like I lost my mind...

 

The person that wrote the anarchists cookbook tried to get it pulled from publishing. He apparently ended up being a pascistfist. Sorry I can’t spell

 

I’ve got about 5 relays that I’ve got to get tucked in a better way a lot of what’s holding them in place is each other.

 

I just bent the silver bracket that came with the relays to 90* and then used the J hook bolt to hold in in place.

But I would love more info on those ballast brackets, mine are currently velcro'ed in place...

 

Used a silhouette desktop plotter to cut these out of Oracal 751 matte black vinyl.

Put them on an inch lower than factory in preparation for snugtop install.

 

Have a condo rented in Destin next weekend unfortunately Ida hit today will have to travel though it's path (from Texas) picked up a couple gas cans at tractor supply and stumbled on this sweet cargo rachet bar for 24$. Plan on picking up a 3rd can if I can find one and that should give us plenty of fuel to make it to FL without worrying. Installed Caliraised flag pole today also it's actually pretty sweet set up they have. Was hoping it would be big enough to hold fishing pole but to small diameter pipe, still pretty happy with it.

 

I am just down the road from Destin, no damage from Ida here

 

We're actually going to be in Fort Walton, Destin is just easier for people that don't know the area

 

Well, I live in Navarre, was just in FWB this afternoon, I usually tell people I am near Pensacola. Doing fishing here? I hope the water clears up soon, caught some nice Spanish Mackerel last week.

 

I wished. Not going to really have enough time, Arriving Friday afternoon leaving Monday morning. We plan on going to visit Dry Tortuga's in the next few years definitely going to have fishing trip scheduled in.

 

Did some minor trimming of the front fenders. (Hopefully that will be enough to fit 285s without rubbing) Set my SPC to setting (E) -1 Caster, to provide additional clearance in the rear part by the cab mount. (Hopefully the Cab Mount Chop won't be necessary)
My truck is scheduled for alignment next Saturday.

 

I didn’t even think of bending the top tab instead of the zip. That will be better because I’m constantly straightening it when I open the hood… so annoying.

I decided to stick with metric hardware to keep thing simple/similar and a m8 bolt was a better fit in the factory hole used (directly behind low beam bulb). I then used a rivet nut on the bracket because you won’t be able to access behind.

The neoprene washer between bolt and bracket isn’t needed but I felt like adding a cushion between the fender and bracket.


a quick prime and paint


Hardware is from either ace or McMaster (pt# listed)
•Rivet nut pt#ala1-8125-3.8 (m8x1.25) *I used an air tool to set. 13.5mm drill bit (1/2” will work if you slightly wallow out the hole; 13.5=0.53)
•Bolt m8x1.25x16 (choose whatever you like, I went with zinc only because JIS 12mm head and I’ll use these for the 2 threaded holes in the fender by the fuse box) pt#430122mc
•m8 compatible neoprene type washer (optional)
•my ballast bolts are too long so I’ll be changing out with m3x.5x10 with the stop nut

 

Swapped my OEM Rigid fog lights for some Diode Dynamics SS3 Max SAE fogs. Wanted something that was more than window dressing, which is all the Rigids were good for.
Blown away at the amount of light these throw, it's like a second set of low beams. Should be fantastic for driving over passes at night in the snow.
