What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

These are the RSi loadbars

 

Got around to installing the 2017 Pro headlights I purchased from @Formidable. Turned out good and didn't break anything. Not something I want to do again any time soon, tho. The only hard part was getting the lower bumper piece detached and reattached along the seam below the side marker to get at that third bolt.

 

Had a 1000 mile check up, thought about rescheduling since I only have 400 miles on it but figured I would just get it done while I had some free time.

 

Oh, I also recently replaced all my interior lights with Diode Dynamics LEDs. For anyone savvy with the search function on this site, and interested in OEM bulb color temp but just brighter, get the warm white color temp with SMF1 vanity bulbs, HP3 map lights, and HP6 dome light bulb. It's in the descriptions that they're an OEM upgrade, but I went off the pictures too much and got bright/natural white which were just too cold. The warm white is not as yellow as the photos, and those bulb models are an adequate increase in brightness without being blinding (especially the vanity lights).

Their RMA process was easy and I greatly appreciate their speedy dispatch! However, if I can save them one RMA with this post, it's worth it.

 

Kinda ripped this side of my bumper off

 

It is really just a faux bumper anyway. I had a 2nd gen that a kid nailed at 30 mph at a stop light. His car was a total loss. I had to use compound to remove his paint from my bumper. There was a little dent remaining. They just don't make them like that any more.

 

This is something I heavily related to as a fellow herding dog owner.

 

It’s just an excuse to buy a rear bumper

Not anything I did but I got rear-ended on the way home from work. Only looks like the tow hitch receiver got pushed in. We'll see what happens when I take it to the dealership.

 

Got some pin stripes on the trail.

 

After wondering why Toyota spent appx 8 dollars on a pair of factory Fog housings and bulbs… an upgrade occurred that seemed expensive until the light output exceeded HID headlight 4 fold.

Added the finishing touch to my armor protection BAMF rear diff skid!

 

Is there no drain hole at the bottom of the "bowl" shape?

 

Yes there is i just don't have a photo of it.

 

The first pic you can barley see it.

 

What’s up guys? It’s been a while. I got a problem. I’ve been on vacation for 17 days. Truck is less than 3 years old. After sitting the whole time it won’t start ( push to start ). It unlocked fine but headlights won’t come on. I’ve heard the batteries are shit but haven’t run into that problem yet. What do you guys think? Battery? Worth charging it? Thanks in advance

 

Battery

 

Yep. Head to Walmart or if you are within the warranty get one from the dealer. Or upgrade to an AGM and get a KDMax tune that will adjust the charge rate for an AGM battery. Just depends on how much you want to spend.
