What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Maybe not worth it if you rarely use the knobs. Was worth it to me cause I always use the volume knob out of habit and for some reason it really annoyed me how insubstantial it was every time I used it. I figure 5 years from now if I have the truck I'll have used it a few thousand times lol. There are some cheaper plastic options or the rav4 ones IIRC.

 

Got any links to cheaper plastic ones. I’ve been looking but haven’t found any

 

Rav4 knobs, take out the insert inside. $13/ea

Awesome. Thanks , man. These are exactly what I want

 

Huh I guess the plastic ones are also more than 30, I would have guessed they were cheaper. These ones are $10 cheaper - https://hondogarage.com/products/to...2&_sid=c97bf953f&_ss=r&variant=37638975455424

It seems to me that if you can get the measurements for the D stem you could get some off aliexpress for pennies.

 

Anyone make a purchase from chromestoppers/bumpershellz recently? They say the lead time is 7-14 days, I'm at 19 days and they didn't respond to my email asking for an eta. I ordered through the chromestoppers website.

 

I absolutely have LOVED my Powerbrake kit, and just running it out of the box with the standard PB01 pads and some good fluid.

One downside is the brake dust, my black wheels end up looking brown with dust every 2 weeks. They clean up easily, but I'd like to reduce it.

Talking to Powerbrake, they offer a PB05 pad, which is higher performing AND lower dust, it's just quite a bit more expensive than the standard pads. Swapped them in during the rain yesterday. Once I get the pads bed in well to the rotors I'll pull the wheels and clean the calipers and everything real well.

 

Agreed!

 

Yes, the new LED is slightly larger. I used one of those tapered drill bits and rubber grommet on the backside to help hold it in place.

It sounds like there is a broken wire feeding the LED in your door.

 

There is a fire in the area that started on the 6th, and that might be the reason for delay/lack of communication. They've also just launched the new website, so they could be swamped with that too.

 

Just installed diode dynamics SS3 fogs.

Well if their factory is gonna burn down the least they could do is send out my shipment first.

 

Thanks for the update. Did you buy the off road race pad?

 

Thanks. I may upgrade to those you got at some point.

For some reason the wires behind the drivers side kick panel were not making a good connection. So I just cut them and reconnected them and now they are working fine.

 

That looks familiar!

 

I bought these and love them, not sure what Toyota was thinking? Manly truck needs manly knobs! The OEM knobs are thin, smooth and their contour is terrible for grown-up sized hands and fingers.

 

Toyota gave us the small knobs on our mid size trucks to make our fingers look bigger and manly when we’re caressing our knobs.

 

I had my Bilstein 5100's installed yesterday. But noticed that it seems like the rake of the truck has the nose more up than level. The tech said to me we can level it out (I wanted to stock height). I went with his suggestion but it seems off to me. The gap in the front is now 6 3/4" (top of tire to bottom of the black wheel arch). Is it going to be a pain to have them adjust it down? I have never done this stuff before. I will say the ride is much improved which is what I wanted.

 

Just have add-a-leafs installed and it should be level.

 

I did 22222 in 14 months.
