What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

looks great in daytime

 

Installed a Headstrong 3 Leaf AAL and rear Bilstein 5100's tonight. Tomorrow morning the front 5100's with OME springs go in.

 

That's an insanely clean looking undercarriage for a 6 year old truck. I don't think mine looked that good a week after I drove it home (it didn't; I was under it running the tailgate lock wires and knocking dirt into my face).

 

I was thinking the same when I was working on it this afternoon. I always take really good care of my stuff.

 

I purchased an Auxbeam unit also, but haven't been able to find a suitable tray to mount. Which tray are you using? That is how I would prefer to install mine. I do have an automatic Off-Road which may be different. Thanks for any input

 

To be honest I haven't got a chance to use it yet. I'll be using it when I tow my sports car to the next track day.

My REDARC would brake proportional to how hard I'm braking unless I override it and that's when I get to control how hard it'll brake.

Apologies for not being much help :/

 

We had some nice weather the other day so went out and used the tent. Gotta say it is very nice being able to relax in random areas or even get some shut eye. Looking forward to alot more adventures this summer. As always here are a couple photos to not waste a post.

 

Add a few more saw mounts and you are ready for the zombie-apocalypse.

 

What bracket did you use to mount the auxbeam under the hood? I’m currently debating making a quick bracket up or purchasing one

 

Installed the Kicker 47KSS6904 6x9 component speakers last night. Put the tweeter on the sail panel. A couple months ago, I did the Kicker 2 3/4" dash speakers with a 800Hz to 5000Hz bandpass.

 

Finally did the H9 swap and these two approve of the rear window. I just wish it was powered.

 

Finished my roof rack handles.

 

Who…little ‘ol me?

Heavy duty brackets needed!

And as for the plug…well…no shame in my game! Ahahaaa

 

I custom made my tray.

It's actually pretty easy to make. 3003 Aluminum bends pretty easily.
You just need a jig saw, file, drill, and vise (a vise brake makes the bends look better)

i know this is a number of pages back, but absolutely this. smaller than jumper cables, and way easier to use.

a number of times on the job one of the other contractors will accidently leave something on, easy to do when grabbing things in/out of a vehicle all day at work. i can just throw the case at them and go back to work while i let them figure it out instead of having to reposition vehicles, worry about who's hooking up what cable, where they're hooking up, and if they're doing it wrong. all the jump boxes like that have reverse polarity detection and all sorts of other self-checks before they allow the jump start. it doesn't solve the idiot, but eliminates the idiot from creating a larger problem. absolute worst case is they'll come back and tell me it doesn't work.

i keep one in all my vehicles just for that reason.

 

Do you also carry jumper cables? I have a battery jump pack in each car but still have cables as I’m sure they won’t fail. Of course if you are by yourself the battery jumper is going to be essential. So I have both but wonder if it is overkill.

 

Try P&S Absolute rinseless wash... you'll never go back to rinsing.

 

Installed the toyota remote power tailgate lock, I can’t believe that it’s not standard. Maybe it’s just the SR models?

 

Nope.

It was not on my TRD Sport. I purchased it separately.

 

Idk, the aural warnings get on my nerves generally because they all seem to be over cautious and I eventually tune them out. I have no one to blame but myself—I was in a rush and should’ve slowed down. Poor vis and the faulty assumption about the shape of the pillar didn’t help, but even without a backup cam I shouldn’t have hit it.
