What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Holy low mileage Batman!

 

I like it. It's smoother so if it got dirty I felt like it would be easier to clean, but really I just liked the look better just my preference. Reminded me of the leather seats in the benz.

I bet the carpet fabric would reflect much less sun.

 

When I roll over 130k, you'll be approaching 34k on the odometer.

That's if you maintain your same insane lightening pace, but I thinks you'll be slowing down in your older age so I'm guessing you'll hit 30k by 2030.

I bet it still looks and smells new. Lol.

 

Lake Mead scenic overlook. Reminds me of National Lampoons Vacation.

 

I-11 is scheduled to be finished from where it currently ends just south of that point southbound to avoid the 95/Kingman nasty-surface exchanges. Will take a couple of years, but will make it easier for PHX people to get to that scenic overlook.

 

Not sure if I need to do a write up on it honestly. Pretty simple temp fix. This is the adapter for the battery.

$20 Vibit 20V to 12V Step-Down Converter for Dewalt Battery, DC Power Adapter, Voltage Reducer Transformer 180W Buck Converter Regulator for Golf Cart RC Car Truck Light & DIY

Basically treat that as you would a normal battery. I ran an inline fuse from the down coverter to the bluesea panel on the positive side. The down converter takes the 20V down to 12V and limits the amps so you don't blow through anything. Connect anything you are wanting to power and and ground back to complete the loop.

I powered the 3 strip bed LEDs and my Maxxfan with no issues. I plan on adding more things to power when I get a dual battery setup in the back. That will have a DCDC charger, inverter, and solar controller all working together so both my aux battery and starter battery are topped off constantly by either the solar and/or the alternator.

Highly reccommend wiring a switch to choose to push or pull air using the maxxair fan also. I can give more info on that if someone wants that.

 

Went with velvet for the Camry and it’s hard to remove dog hair and will probably fade faster. Have the carpet look in both my Tacoma and 17 year old Corolla. I scotch guard them and lay them out a few days to settle before an install. If your a patch guy, the carpet is easier to attach Velcro to also.

 

I joined the 35s crew yesterday, ha. First ever set of BFG's too.

 

What kind of impact to mpgs did you see after installing? I've built the cap portion for mine, going to build the tent this winter.

 

@devinzz1 FWIW, Sumo Springs act like sway bars in an unloaded state and when at minimum compression, they have a long way to travel before they act as bump stops...

I've had a set on the last 5 trucks I've owned...

 

New set of shoes for my lady.

 

I want to order Sumo Springs for my truck. I'm guessing the blue ones will do. Have some squat from a topper and a wood platform I put in the bed. Did you have any experience with the black and yellow ones? Too much for my issue? Thx

 

Replaced my roof drip moldings and installed my bed stiffeners from Bullet Proof Fabrication. A lot easier than anticipated for both jobs, still took me a while though.

 

Got a big set build coming up and before grabbing the next load of lumber I thought it was time to stiffen the bed. Pair of Total Chaos stiffeners which were a breeze to install and not a single gap after install.

 

The TCs need to face the other way.

 

You mean this way?

 

Investigate RoadMaster Active Suspension.

 

He had me questioning whether I installed mine the right way. Now I gotta check.

 

Maybe it is also time to buy that "left-handed" screwdriver.
