What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you match the rear tint? It looks great! What percentage did you go with?

 

I have the same dilemma, we’ll be out of town next week and I ordered mine March 7th. I called RCI and let them know so they don’t ship them while we’re gone.

 

Sorry to see you go.

 

I believe that center switch bank is a one piece unit with the rest of the center head unit stack. See @ClassyTacos 's video on replacing that bank with the custom MESO one (looks like full removal and drilling/cutting is required):

Maybe you could remove the larger panel to get access to the backside (like in the video)? But that may require disassembling the center console.

 

You gonna be selling any of your taco goodies in the marketplace?

 

I got this call on my cell the other day, prerecorded for area residents: “... right outside of South Pasadena Arroyo Park is currently under investigation due to a homeless individual planting a military mine, also known as a claymore, behind a residence. LAPD is handling the situation with the Bomb Squad and all around Arroyo Park is shut down. LAPD will handle all media inquiries and criminal investigations.” No explosives were found and the scene cleared.

 

In January of last year, I ordered a GFC SuperLite. That set in motion a bunch of challenging projects (in chronological order): built an extruded aluminum half cab rack over the OEM rack; installed an 18” DD lightbar (plus a Meso 3 switch overhead panel for the lightbar) added a custom fairing onto the rack; moved solar panel from my Front Runner rack to the cab rack; built a 7 gal. water supply powered by a Flojet water pump; built a dual fridge/stove slide; redesigned my solar setup and moved it to the bed (added a dedicated 100ah SOK LiFePO4 battery, Victron Dc-to-DC non-isolated charger, a 1500w inverter, and a remote monitoring panel). Here's some pictures of my last project that is almost completed, a half platform that I integrated with my dual slide.



UPDATE: Project was later finished when tie down anchors were added to the rail posts.

 

Added the relentless fab bars with a Yakima off grid basket for camping

 

So stoked that I was able to install my Smittybilt 9500 winch(steel cable) along with my CBI fab hidden winch mount. Took me pretty much all day but worth it. Now I need to go and try it out

 

How much did they charge you for the detail?

 

Thanks, yes I had them match the front door glass to the rear 20%. I had the ceramic tint installed on the windshield 70%.

 

Where did you find their hidden winch mount? I have their push bar which is suppose to integrate with that. I was told they don't make that hidden mount anymore.

 

The trick to getting one of the blanks out without removing the entire dash is to use a pry tool on a switch next to the blank spot you want to fill. The switch will come out easier from the front, then you can reach in with your finger and pop out the blank from the back. One note here is the switch you pop out may or may not have a ton of movement due to the wire connection so you may have to disconnect the switch for added room. Once the blank is off just use whatever you can to run the wiring. Also be sure to connect your wiring to your new switch before you plug it in, do not test fit without the wiring connected.

 

Awesome Looking Truck, great pictures too. What brand of front bug guard is that I like it better than my Weathertech.

 

Installing a TRD Pro Grille this weekend, wondered if anyone would be interested in Purchasing the Toyota 3rd Generation Grille, $100.00 Message me directly if interested, I can ship it as well or if you are in the New England area I can meet you too within reasonable distance to Southwick, Mass.

 

I do NOT miss snow like that back in NY. I lived in Chenango County as a kid and the only snow storm I enjoyed was the '93 blizzard that shut things down for a while.

 

it holds the olight baton 3 very nicely

 

A mod is a mod, even when it is a tiny one.

 

Same thing happened to mine it was covered by my warranty thankfully because they wanted a pretty penny. I decided to hold off because I’m getting a new rear bumper anyway. They said one of the sensors had went out.

 

Today, I finally took mine in for the frame inspection. "We need to keep it overnight. We'll call you if we find any holes."

In the 10 minutes it took me to get from the dealership to work:



$300 and 41 cents.


edit> A follow-up: Dealership called. Said it had already been sprayed at the port and all they did was put plugs in the holes. I'm wondering if they interpreted my FFing to be oem. [shrug]
