What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think to start a just going to leave it open. If I planned right it should work with the hooke lockable door. So that might he the future.

 

Never taken the time to use Fusion. I use Inventor at work. Any good compared to other programs you've used?

Nice project. Interested to see how it turns out.

P.S. - Welding galvanized/galvanneal sucks no matter who does it. No judgement here. That's thin material. It off-gases. Booo!

 

I read in one of the forums someone posted that they installed some smoky tinted tail lights that I really liked. Can’t find the post now any ideas?

 

When finally getting around to washing last week's mud off, I discovered a few new nasty dings.

Apparently the branch that took out my mirror had more ricochets and turns than Oswald's bullet. In addition to the broken glass there was a big fat dent on the fender and another on the roof.





So I decided to do something that I haven't done in a while, I got out my collection of buffing compounds and waxes and got to work.







She can really shine up for the ball when she wants to.

 

Front durobumps came in from @memario1214

 

Soon to be ready

 

Overcast and misty today, so can't cut the grass. Installed the OEM tailgate inserts and the tailgate lock (both bought during the Labor Day sale on line at Parts.Toyota.com. The tailgate lock instructions kept saying to follow the wiring harness under the truck. Finally figured out that my SR5 doesn't have that wiring harness so put it up near the top of the frame and away from the muffler and tailpipe. Very happy with the way it all went in. Thinking about blacking out the chrome badging. We'll see.

 

If you install the bulk head seal correctly and pull the cover down tight when you’re adjusting the locking bars then I honestly don’t know how water would get in tbh…

 

Do it! And swap in color matched bumper caps while you’re at it

 

I never used any of them. 1st time 3D designing anything. Watched a lot of YouTube.

 

Sucks when it comes to those dings and dents. It's inevitable to happen at some point when we all really enjoy the truck for what it can do. Looks good tho after a good wash and wax.

 

Finally put my light bar in after having it a year or so. It’s definitely bright

 

Which bar is that one?

 

I’m fairly sure it’s this one, it was a gift so I’m not 100% certain. I put the tinting film on it.

What size and offset? Are they on yet?

 

Did you check the grassy knoll for the culpret?

 

Installed the RCI diff skid. Thanks to their 20% off Labor Day sale

 

I was on the grassy knoll when it happened! The truck assassinated itself!

 

Hey! My great-grandmother is from Ontario! I resent that remark! LOL

 

+1 can confirm that Canada sucks ass
