What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Funny you say that. I got a great deal in the same panels, but they are still sitting in the box. One day I’m ready to drill away, and the next I go - NOPE!

 

Done and done very easy install. Took maybe 40 minutes or so. Wd-40 on the bolts, dr bronners on the hangers. No need for a new gasket. Also live a mile or so from the beach.

 

Still running the stock intake and filter?

 

Yeah, for me its all about resale value. Having little holes there is not ideal. And utility wise its not that important for me. I only have the truck a few years then ill sell and get a different one. ill just keep wearing it on my side instead of in a holder even though it would be nice

 

Get this first and screw into that

Ah, didnt think of that. Great! Thanks for the tip.

These work great to cover the holes if you ever need to. I used them before trading in my old truck to plug holes from the molle panel removal.

That's a decent option to make it less ugly lol

 

ORDERED!

 

Had a "deleted" clutch accumulator installed yesterday, the truck drives much more intuitively now.

Day One with my new to me 2020 TRD-OR w/manual:
Removed the 10A fuse for the DCM
Removed the amber grille lights the previous owner installed
Removed the tri-color grille badge
Removed the rear headrests for better visibility
Bought mud flaps.

 

I have a '22 and won't say I hate the shifting, but do prefer the feeling in ECT. I don't feel strong enough to spring for a KDMAX tune, but would be game for this improvement for $50. Any other feedback on this product?

 

Thanks Joe. I literally just told my wife that it looks like a Body Armor HiLine and then I saw your comment lol thanks for the link. I’ll absolutely support this company, especially if they’re local. If you have a contact you can send me, I’d appreciate it. I’m at station 1 and I’d love to see it on your truck. I’m sure I’ll probably see you on our next fire and when I do, I’m definitely checking out your truck. When things calm down on scene, maybe you can give me the tour of it. You got a ton of cool stuff on your truck I wanna check out!
And thank you for the offer on helping with the install. I would be a fool to turn that down so I really appreciate the offer. I’ll take you up on that. I just looked at the link you sent and saw the process. Looks intimidating to say the least lol

 

Thanks, here's the link of where I purchased it from. I used a promo code I found online and got it for $520 bucks.

I've used this stuff a few times for random shit and it's strong.

No. Actually I had changed those out a couple months back.
Not gonna lie it’s “feels” stronger, but I’m paying a lot of attention to the exhaust sort of chasing the growl. It’s a manual, so it’s always a little more fun.

 

Took my new 21 trd in to fix the whistle noise from 55-60. Had to open a damper kit, hope it fixes it!

 

There must’ve been a shard of metal in the micro fiber towel, I tossed it on the vise, and now my whole dash has a little racetrack swirl across it. It’s not terrible but it’s there.
