What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Agreed. Maybe included in some of the option packages at a minimum.

 

Had a free day this weekend so was able to knock out some small front end mods I've been meaning to do.

The first was to finally throw on the WarFab tie rod sleeves that I got with the group buy like a year ago. I widened the inner ends of these with my step bit and they threaded on beautifully over the inner tie rod hump. These are heavy, stout pieces, and although they don't completely prevent the tie rods from having issues, they for sure beef it up from stock and should give a bit of protection as well. I think the newer design of these have been shortened a bit to prevent them needing to be modified.



Then I replaced the lower shock bolts with the OEM ones from the 4Runners that have a solid shaft instead of a tapered one. P/N: 90105-14104. Hoping they help extend the life of my misalignment bushings.



And lastly, I finally pushed my front splash shields forward a bit to cut down on the rubbing when turning while flexing. Gained about 1/2" - 3/4" of clearance from this and it looks like it fixed the rubbing on the front side of the wheel well. I still have a bit of rubbing on the back of the fender area under the same conditions, so I get to figure that out next. Thinking the pinch welds might need some persuasion. Pretty successful weekend though.

 

Man I like that rear bumper A LOT. Thats almost a weapon. ha

 

They’re from KBVoodoo and they’re definitely compatible with certain covers. Thank you!

 

AC drip line extension.

 

New X2Power AGM battery from Batteries Plus, and a new ARE CX Series cap. I think I am done for a while

Awesome!

I love the X2’s. I Run them in everything, you may want to consider a Rago battery box(super high quality). They are awesome. Only reason I did not buy an X2 is because that box is specifically designed for the odyssey. But after measuring, looks like the X2 will fit perfectly as well.

also, your alternator will not fully charge that AGM so you may wanna fully charge it on your own once a month or get a tune and it’s ups the alternator output for the battery

I still have x2’s laying around lol

 

Great seat cover.

 

Thanks custom made for my bike.

 

I did the front passenger seat deletion. No more copilot until I re-add the seat with Clazzio leather along with heated seat elements. I ran the heated seat pigtails and power supply wiring under the center console.

 

Ejecto seato cuz

 

I live in Ohio and my windshield looks the same as you are describing.

 

I know nothing about batteries, how long can you store them for? My 2019 is still on the original battery and I am waiting for it to die. But I don't want to be scrambling to figure out which agm I want when it does die.

 

Slapped on a new tag.

 

I take care of them. I just removed that one the other day from a car I sold. I’ll move it inside in my bike room. They’ll
Last a looooong time but I charge them etc.

I highly recommend the X2’s. Never an issue. I’m running an odyssey now so far so good but that was so I could run the Rago battery box.

Your alternator will not fully and properly charged those AGM batteries so if you go ahead and do this yourself once a month, you know put it on the battery charger let it sit overnight you’ll be fine there’s people that never even do that and the batteries still last very very long

lots of videos on this check them out. I tuned my taco and up’s the alternators output to my agm

 

How often do you charge the one you are storing?

 

Every 90 days

 

Hopefully you didn’t have to pay the RTA tax.

 

Already applied the AGM version of the tune I was running when I got home with the battery
