What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! That third point was on my mind. Sliding boxes, coolers, etc. in and out of the bed.

 

I think i got a pretty good deal! Take off after 2000miles

1600$

 

changed my oil. guess they removed the cover for the positive battery terminal while it was in the collision shop. Accidentally touched the dipstick to the dipstick tube and positive battery terminal. there were a lot of sparks...everything is okay though. ordered gear oil to change my front diff and rear diff fluids.

 

I'd say that's a pretty damn good deal! Congratulations.

 

Looks like a good deal.

Who ever sold it, should have traded the Pro in on a new OR with no miles on it and then modified the OR. They already enjoyed owning the Pro and needed to upgrade the suspension.

 

Chipotle run…and removed the Predator Steps

 

I was able to get my dealer to remove the predator steps from the deal. Seems like expensive scrap metal to me.

 

Slip yoke service. It's so freaking hot.

installed DS18 tweeters, defiantly worth it



6x9 door sprekers will be next

 

May want to order new drain/fill plugs for the front diff, i picked up the ones i think from a lexus? they use a 14mm bolt head vs a 10mm hex. That 10mm hex for the fill is super soft i used a quality hex socket and it still wanted to round over. My truck is low mileage and doesnt sit in the salt belt i can see how guys have issues getting them out over time. They were cheap like 10 bucks each you can find the part numbers in this thread was worth it to prevent future issues.

That’s good to hear. I tried, but they wouldn’t budge. Wasn’t a hill I was gonna die on. I’ll probably sell em. They have less than 700 miles on them.

 

i already ordered a gasket kit off Amazon with oil, differential, and transfer case gaskets. already removed the fill plug once and had no issues.

 

Noting exciting. Just washed it an my ‘06 PreRunner.

 

The

$91 DS18 PRO-ST OEM Subaru/Toyota Upgrade Bullet Compression Tweeters with Crossovers 1.9" - Car OEM Tweeter Upgrade Kit for Many Subaru/Toyota Models - Replacement for H631SFJ101 and H631SFJ100 (Pair)

DS18 Pro-ST Tweeters are great. Installed the similar Kicker/Subaru tweeters and didn't notice much difference. After reading more reviews here I sent the Kickers back, installed the DS18's and am very happy, especially with my non-JBL OE head unit. Cleaner sound, higher highs and a little more volume (had to drop the high-end settings a bit). PNP and well worth the 20 or 30 minutes it takes to swap them out.

Installed Infinity Reference REF-9632ix 6x9s in the front doors. Added some

$30 Noico 80 mil 10 sqft car Sound deadening mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

Noico sound deadner to the outer door skins while I was in there. They sound pretty good. Haven't done anything with the rears since their volume is so low anyway. Thinking about adding a powered sub-woofer for a little more punch. Even if I swap out the head unit one day all of the rest will still be good.

Keep us posted on your progress!

 

Went out & did some mall crawling. The sand made for a tough run to the curb but we managed! Very capable truck
I need a Mall Rated badge now

Hey Guys and Gals I hope all are having a nice relaxing Sunday as am I. Gave the truck another wash nothing exciting this weekend. Just waiting for my New TRD skid plate replacement to arrive.
What do you recommend for a budget high lift floor Jack ? I figure it will make the skid plate install much easier and also would like to have one for tire rotations periodically. My old one finally died and not worth the oil it leaks lol.
Thanks in advance

 

If you have one, Harbor Freight. It's hit and miss with some of their stuff, but from experience their jacks, including floor, engine and stands are decent.

 

Tested out my "tire table" and built the rough version of my sleeping platform for a camping trip coming up this weekend. Once I get back, I'll be adding a slide out drawer and probably staining the remaining bare wood.

 

Are you saying there is a significant difference in the DS18 vice the subaru tweeters?
