What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered Toyota Genuine 17" TRD Gloss Gunmetal Gray, TRD PRO 4Runner (OEM P/N:

$1,125 PTR20-35110-G4 (4)

PTR20-35110-G4). I wanted to stick with factory wheels for now and go a bit more aggressive in the stance (overall wheel offset will move outward just over an inch) and I'm planning to shoe them with Nitto Terra Grappler G3's.

Currently running the factory 18's that come on the Limited Nightshade. I'm trying to keep the blackout/greyed out theme intact but give it a bit of a custom look. I'll post pics once I get them installed. Here's my current stock look...

 

not for protection, literally just for looks

 

These wheels look best on MGM in my opinion, you won't regret the look

 

Sweet ride! Yeah I'm looking forward to getting them installed!

 

Long story, my goto local dealer was too high priced, these 2 ^ suggested dealers [ RockBunny] wanted buyer to pay shipping charges. Guys/Gals, if you want to get some parts now at a good discount with Free nationwide shipping, give Wesley Chapel a go. These $96.97 OEM rotors cost me just $147.98 delivered.

Got a 6 gang super cheap and instead of using some ball joint I went and created a drop in replacement for the overhead center console that retained the use of the 2 OEM style short switches. (no trimming or any sort of modifications to fit it all.)

More details in another thread if interested

Also have a version with a single switch option and one with no switches just the 6 gang so far. Planning on making one for a 8 gang as well down the line shortly.

Before




After

 

I don’t want black wheels and wanted a 32” tire so I ended up with the same wheels.i like the cement color in concept but i wish the wheels had a little more contrast.

 

And I did this he other day. Wilco Tiregate. Had to put in a new switch for the Vleds bed lights so I used one of the holes from a previous stiffener.

 

It helps a little with road noise that comes from the fresh air vents in the back of the cab. I tried it and the noise was cut down but between holding moisture, salt, etc like you said and mine eventually fell and melted to the exhaust i would say not worth it.

 

Who is this "wheel Jesus" you speak of?

Also replaced all 6 shitty factory speakers with Kickers and added a beatsonic amp. Sounds great. Thinking about adding a little 8" inch under-seat JBL sub now.

 

Installed a front camera with anytime front/rear switch, an Alpine amp for the front speakers, Kenwood amp and 10 sub, and fuse block over the last couple of days. Talk about stuffing 10 lbs of crap in a five pound bag!

 

Added another toyota to the stable a 07 sienna with 52k garage kept FL car. Funny 14 years apart but they have the same cruise control switch and both rear drums. The quality on the 07 is leaps and bounds over the 21, makes me want to get an older 2nd gen regular cab short bed tundra.

 

Haha look him up on ig. @thewheeljesus. He's in Tempe. Dude was tired of shops messing up his wheels so he bought all the equipment to do it himself. He truly takes care in tire installation. Said he can do up to 40's.

 

Replaced the damaged driveshaft this past Saturday after work.

With tax and shipping, it came out to $827.37 from www.toyotapartsdeal.com. I tried to take a pic afterwards, but it was too cold for the iPhone, she died. So far I’ve put about 75 miles on her and all is well.

 

Looks great!

I did something similar to this. Then ran a couple usb plugs up behind the head unit and trimmed the plastic trim for the wires to come out through.

 

I went with Expedition Essentials 3tpam unit. It gives you two usb ports above the radio and multiple locations for mounts. I got power from the center console arm rest because I wanted to keep the radio usb connection as is. Pic below.

I was going to post the same thing. I got the Expedition Essentials 3TPAM back in August or so and installed it, I opted for a pair of USB C ports and pulled power directly from the battery so I can charge without the truck being on.

I'll probably add a switch so I have a little better control, but I'm happy with the 3TPAM as a mount and charging location.
