What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Something about Missionary position comes to mind.

 

Got my camper shell installed.
ARE CX classic. Long Bed.

 

No way… hahahaha

 

I think there is a thread about this. The one responsible is a member on here.

 

Threw on a used trd skid plate i got.

 

it worried me the first time it happened to me. I had a different vehicle before this and idled all the time at work. Switched to the Taco and freaked out at first lol.

 

Installed Firestone bags in the rear and replaced rotors and pads up front obviously.

 

Put the Taco to work today. Picked up enough free plywood from work to build a shed.

 

I saw this, and thought it was an interesting spin on keeping the catalytic converters attached to the vehicle….

 

Just a question of curiosity, if real, would any of that explode from the heat of the cat? Also if a grenade detonates under your truck, wouldn’t one be out of a truck and a cat in the process? I mean I’m sure it’s all a joke but still it’s like replacing toilet paper with barbed wire.

 

That’s what insurance is for….new Taco, deceased perpetrator. It’s a win win!

 

Love this idea

 

The fact it’s a two pack is awesome because it’s even better in the port in the console! Awesome!

 

Rearranged the Clazzio seat heater harness in preparation for the install on Saturday. Given how I have the electrical setup in my truck, it made sense for me to de-pin illumination and switch power wires at the switch, solder them together, and extend them. The wires that were modified were wrapped in Tesa Tape which is the factory harness tape found on most German luxury vehicles. The harness has four connection points to the vehicle for each set of elements: main power (12 AWG red), ground (16 AWG black), illumination (16 AWG yellow), and switch power (16 AWG red w/ orange stripe).

My plan is to run the main power and ground from the Rigrunner that is currently under the rear seat, pass the harness along the transmission tunnel, and terminate the switches at the factory switch panel. The switch will be powered by an add-a-fuse that will be plugged into either Power Outlet 1 or Power Outlet 2. The illumination power can be sourced from an unused connector behind the radio (or so I've been told). For this, I'm using a posi-tap as T-taps often cut through the wire thus making the connection spotty and the factory wire unusable. I thought about adding a relay box. But that's more work that what I'm willing to deal with at the moment. Maybe in the future. Picture of the completed harness below. My modifications are nearest the switches



Bonus pic of the chaos:

 

The beads are attached to a Saint Eugene Stoner and the hotel keychain is from The Salish above Snoqualmie, WA it was used as a filming location for Twin Peaks.

 

NO-TELL MOTEL

 

Likely story! Just kidding! It just begged the question though.

 

good story, I would have told my wife I found the key at a topless club
