What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are you running spacers? Do you have front and side pics? TIA and thanks for the advice. Just want to plan ahead and do it right the first time!

 

This is how it starts...

 

@thomasburk that isn't even more sweat-inducing?!

 

Working on it. Will definitely need them before we start our camping season.

 

There is a screw that should hold the washer in-place. At least, that's what I saw around the 8 minute mark of this video:

At the 6 minute point, you'll see the mounting spot for the screw.

Completed diff breather relocate!

Needed to customize my own flat flushed deep 6 sided 14mm socket

this is my mangled old breather

 

Here's the plate that came off the Sport...the OR's plate extends a little further but pretty much same thickness. The Air Dam had to come off as well.



The TRD Skid is a beautiful upgrade.

Built some brackets to mount my traction boards for the winter even though winter is nearly over.

 

My OCD prefers rainx washer fluid so held off filling mine until empty. It took a full gallon with some room to spare.

 

Yes! I got one of those, I'll try this method. Thumbs up.

 

Looks good! Did you put the vent on the top of the gas nozzle compartment? I’m getting ready to do this same thing and was trying to figure out where exactly I was going to put the new check valve.

 

It's still clean! I'm not that tough on car interiors, but GF is a whole completely different story. I had thought this through, and if it ever gets to the point where it needs a good scrubbing I'll submerge it in a bucket of warm water and woolite detergent-you ever use that stuff? Dirt just flows off of garments and then they're squeaky clean. I'll then leave in in the sunshine all day to dry it, removing it from vehicle is the only disassembly required.

 

Lol it feels pretty good, hasn't caused any sweating yet.

 

An object hit the top passenger side of my windshield while barely entering the freeway last night. Crack is from top to almost halfway down the windshield instantly.

 

Not the OP but I’m getting ready to install mine as well. I think I’ll put mine in the drivers side taillight cavity; no drilling required. Just my.02

 

What’s the purpose of this relocation?

 

To prevent the introduction of water inside the differential when fording water.

lol, I just installed the Level 1 tail light mod from Meso and I can see everything behind me. Also, one of the perks of having a manual is that I can now pop it out of gear and touch the reverse switch without actually putting it in reverse while going down the interstate to annoy those that can't seem to figure out what the blue flying bullet light is on their dash.

 

Yes, if I drilled any closer to the door I wouldn’t have been able to get it back in place so go a bit deeper if you go by the gashole
