What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Changed my Transfer Case oil with Redline MT-LV 70W75. https://www.redlineoil.com/mt-lv-70w75w

 

I got the cement ones. I ordered them October 28th and they shipped a couple days ago. I should be getting them any day now.

 

Great! Those are the ones I’m considering. Looking forward to seeing them. Rendering photos never do it justice

 

Installed a cheap $20 wifi front camera which connects to my phone via wifi.
Very easy setup, connect to my USB adapter that I have plugged in and ran the wire to camera (tried to keep it hidden as much as I could) which is installed in my new trd pro grill. Lets me see everything in-front of the truck 2ft out.

 

Bought a pro skid plate

 

Interested, you have a link to camera?

 

Here is why it is a good idea to disconnect the battery when doing interior lights. The map lights, dome light, and backlights in the truck are controlled via a floating ground. This means that the 12v+ side is always live. So if the light is turned off, it still has 12v+ to it, it just doesn't have any ground. That creates a situation where arcing can easily occur. Just FYI.

 

Finally have the bed covered with the Alu-Cab Explorer canopy! Very impressed with the build quality and how easy it was to install. It took the help of a friend to get aligned, but overall it only took about an hour (I was in a rush and haven't done the lighting). Won't be fitting a box this big in the bed again any time soon.

 

I don't think it's installed properly

 

For those of you with Rat issues come to Alberta, we are Rat free!! But you'll have to deal with our -35 Deg C winter we are having

 

How do you like the quality? For 20$ I’d like to do that…

 

A problem with birds is why I originally bought them.

 

Well, I started the attempt at my lift. I got as far as getting the wescott pro lift installed on the shocks. Sweat my b@lls with the spring compressors getting the springs off.

got the Eibach spring on, it’s about 1.75” taller than the stock fox spring. Managed to get it compressed enough to get the top hat on. But, to my dismay, there’s so much compression, the spring compressors got stuck in the spring.

so I went looking for a shop to install the spring instead. I stumbled upon an awesome shop in Sacramento Ca that specializes in only Toyota brands! Long story short, they going to do the entire lift in two weeks, Cmr, UCA’s, springs, pinch weld, alignment, 1” rear block, spring isolators, sway bar relocation, diff. drop and wheel tire balance and install for $1700.

 

Ill get link from my bro but if you just search “wifi backup camera” and sort lowest>highest price it comes up $20+ on Amazon/ebay

this is the exact same one I got

 

I can’t complain, it can be better (someones it randomly closes the app and lags) but other then that its fine for now. I have noticed that the further away from crowded places I go the better it starts to work. Ill take it out to Hungry Valley here in socal to test it out and see how it holds up.

I was using the pole to see roughly where my tires would point to have a general idea. Ot has the reverse lines which would be great to see what your gna drive over but due to me grill sensor being in the middle I mounted the camera off to the side so those line are off and I cant find an option in the app to manually adjust them.

 

No oem cover for me, just a stock solution/attempt to elimate as much water intrusion with my canopy.

 

Got new wheels, tires, rain guards, and oem roof rack

 

Ironically I never noticed it until I read this thread... Call me Captain Oblivious....

 

Looks good... Did the Studio Water Truck wet down the pavement for the photo?

 

Sure did
