What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not what I’ve done but more what I’m about to do! Thanks to the group buy and all the great people at RCI

 

Nice Haul.

 

Going to be a fun weekend when it warms up around here.

 

I must live under a rock as I had no idea...I could use some of this and RCI is in my neck of the woods (apparently yours too since I recognize the dealer sticker and CO plates).

 

You didn’t miss out. The group buy coupon was for 20% off, which happens to be the same as the Black Friday sale going on at RCI right now. So you still have a chance to get a discount!

 

Can the heim joints be adjusted with the arms installed?

 

I'd imagine

never used them

 

Not too terrible, mine are silver but going to change to bronze

 

Put the black covers over the chrome emblems. Much better.

 

Got my third brake light recall taken care of and my back seat dried out
So I got that going for me.

 

I know. They're on the list, but there are so many things on the list. I'm going for function before form at the moment.

 

I just did the same. Much better indeed!

 

Boy I know that feeling. 2 grand and counting !

 

3m or snap on. Hell it seems all the parts just pull apart it seems. Lol

 

I got the set from the dealer, it’s the 3M overlay style. Super easy install and looks good too. I swapped badges on my wife’s civic and that was a little more work but the overlays seems to also get the job done.


Here’s my wife’s civic:

 

Taco came back from having the roof wrapped and 70% VLT applied to the front windshield. Night vision doesn't appear to obscured at all and the tint used advertises "SPF 1000 [lol] protection and 99% blockage of harmful UV rays" Okay. I bought it primarily to reduce the heat in the cabin in summer, which the side windows did very well. It also reduces visibility into the cab, albeit just a little. So there's a little bit of added security as well.

As for the wrap, super happy with how it came out. The installer didn't want to risk taking down the headliner to fit the wrap under the shark fin and rear third brake light; so he just cut some strips to apply around it. The look is markedly improved with the contrast between the black and the white. I asked him to apply the wrap just between the weatherstripping in the factory channels of the roof and I think this was the right call. Ultimately, I decided to do this because I want to run a Feniex mini lightbar to provide some extra attetnion when the snow is blowing sideways during my commute. The wrap will protect the single-stage, ultra-thin paint. Why Toyota shot single-stage white as thin as feasibly possible on a truck is beyond me--good job Toyota!

Anyway, pics!

 

You have a wireless CarPlay module?

 

Lol I’m punching up on 40k at just under 2years…

 

Knocking on 50 k sooner than I hoped but my last truck I owned was bought with over 50 on the clock. Put over 39 k on that in lessee… 6 years. I think.

A neat trick for those that are going to install seat covers.
