What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I wish I contacted them about the complete lack of documentation in the package or on their website. I struggled to figure out where all the pieces went and still have have several pieces in storage that I gave up on. Yours came out really good!

 

I should upload the instructions. They were really good. I was originally piecing together a diagram using the picture on the website and Instagram but even those were way wrong.

 

If you ever remove your dealer installed front license plate plastic bracket you will see the grooves it cuts into your bumper cover. Those grooves are permanent. I only make a handful of these annually and I always sell out. Just finished up the V3 hidden height adjustable front license plate brackets for 3rd gens. Strongest version to date.

Tongue and groove construction. Light, strong, flex-free, no drilling, car wash safe. All stainless hardware used for assembly, mounting and license plate screws with rubber isolators to keep the aluminum bracket from contacting the painted bumper cover.

 

Thanks! It’s the A.R.E overland series and it was around $3100. I still wish I got the opening side windows but it was already pretty expensive. Eventually it will have the matching prinsu rack on the top

 

Thanks! I certainly put some sweat equity in lol, put extra wax as I doubt I’ll clean her again before winter


Did the under carriage today and now all I can smell is woolwax even though I wore a respirator lmao

 

Did the annual prewinter undercoat of woolwax….. takes about an hour and about 2 the first time… you can use spray cans but I’d recommend against it.. some sort of spray gun is ALOT easier I found out this year.

 

Picked up some used cbi bed bars off a Colorado and made some brackets to make them work. Now I can go broverlanding! Actually I’m just using them for ladders lol

 

Didn't think this would be as handy as it is, center console storage organizer insert.

And of course no one gives mrenough time too finish the job m

 

more crap to buy for the truck!

 

Looks awesome!

 

Did a temporary squat mod…

 

I waxed and applied Meguiar’s Quick detailer mist to get that awesome sparkle from the MGM on a sunny day. I also added a center arm rest cover to protect it from my harsh elbow!

 

Took a quick trip to WV! Unfortunately we missed the peak.

 

Today I did what Toyota should have did from the factory:


Used the Redside Electric by-pass harness with extension and the Toyota OEM inverter plug. I'll be happy to have a place to charge my work laptop when I'm out and about but still on the clock.

I also installed the VLEDs footwell lighting kit with the Redside Electric a-pillar harness. Unfortunately, the harness was too bulky thus making it impossible to put the a-pillar trim back on without bending the factory harnesses to an uncomfortable radius. I have the overhead panel console harness on order--will probably wrap this project up next week.

EDIT: Guild Outfitters supplied the inverter harness. I received an e-mail shortly after I placed the order informing me that the inventory system didn't reflect the fact that they were out of stock of the harness. Shaun informed me that they had 200 more on order and were expediting the harness to their warehouse and expediting the order to ensure it arrived here by the weekend. Shaun offered to reimburse me the shipping due to the error. Outstanding customer service from those guys; would recommend buying from them if they have something you need.

 

Looks great! I need to do this!

 

Almost shit myself doing the viper cut, but happy with the outcome lol

 

Finally wired in the heated seats and cleaned up the other interior wiring while I was at it.

 

Did you use some type of template? Looks good! What size lift and tires are you running?

 

Check your front body mounts very common issue.
