What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Decided to de-chrome and edit the badge.

 

That "Taco" edit is pretty cool. How did you go about doing that? Any pointers?

 

Removed it and cut it off the rest with a dremel and carefully sanded the edge.
Just put a primer and then black spray paint and a couple layers of a clear coat.
Then reapplied it with 3m tape.

 

Took the air dam off

 

Did this yesterday but forgot to post…Diode Dynamics interior map and dome lights.

 

New wheels!!

 

Not on my third gen but on my dad’s ninth gen Corolla……

Noticed a few weeks ago it was approaching the milestone when I took it to fill it up for him. No lag when you hit the gas like our electronic accelerator crap, this thing gets it! Think it would take the Tacoma off the line.

 

Got loaded up for Sedona MTB Festival next week! Also installed a rear camera on the camper.

 

Is the hitch extension for a hitch mounted bike rack?

I’d love to see interior pics of that setup. Looks very nice!

 

Pricey

 

15k mile service today. Asked the guy about the whole battery disconnect to reset your miles to empty and it said that’s not a thing. You can’t reset that by disconnecting the battery, it’s your trip miles

 

Got ceramic tint today. Not a great pic.

 

I drove my 3rd gen today. Also put gas in her. That's all. No cutting, gouging, sanding, welding, painting, installation of assorted aftermarket items, etc. Just turned the key, hit the clutch and grabbed gears. I think she feels left out since I've been working on my other project... not a 3rd gen, but I do have toyota parts installed to keep it going. One is a piece of my quarter panel I had after my rear bumper went on that I'm using as a dust cover on the bell housing and the other is the voltage regulator from my 84 hilux that converted my externally regulated alternator to a one wire internally regulated alternator. So, there. I can still make a badass cummins a toyota post. Top that!

 

Lmao, you're a legend

 

Many thanks, good man. I give the term part swap a whole new meaning.

 

Get him a grille badge.
The Grille Badge Store


Edit: fixed the link

 

I lied, I did do something 3rd gen related today. I paid for my new quarter panel decals. With all the custom TRD edition vinyls on the market, I decided it was high time I had some made. As usual, I won't disappoint with my extreme taste for theatrics. Should have them in a week or less.

 

Omg hilarious!

 

I find it ironic and slightly demotivating that the proud owner badge mentions pride and then my decal directly underneath just shows I'm the polar opposite
