What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

"What I haven't done to my 3rd Gen"

SW Ontario expecting 4-5cm more this weekend so no modding for several more weeks. Therefore, I did some modding on my power reclining sofa. Upgraded the control button with a USB port and it is illuminated.

 

Damn can't wait to see the next stage of the recliner build. I love it, aways modding.

 

Genius. Simple. Effective. Authentic. FUNNY!(I got a good laugh this morning) You sir, deserve every single positive emoticon. Hands down. If anyone doesn't agree, then eff U

 

BLUF = Brother, Let's Understand Further? (no.)

BLUF = Bottom Line Up Front (yes.)

Prices I was given by 2 different local Dealers Parts Counter:

04090 = $76.31
AZ200 = $69.95 -- June 7, 2022 --Yes I've been holding on to these a while, I think this dealer overcharged me.

 

Yes.

The prices I quoted don’t figure in shipping and tax. I took internet prices to the local dealer here and they’ll add the shipping quote into their match-it price.

 

Just for clarity, I got the pricing from here.... and the prices were MSRP... no sales...

BTW, my brothers (2nd gen) truck has well over 200,000 miles on it and the brakes have only been replaced once and they never made noise with the factory brakes, but with these brakes they still squeak sometimes... But they stop the same, so no issues there...

My daughters 2017 Corolla has 95K on the Factory brakes and they are only about 1/2 worn...

 

You cheap bastard, you went value line over $6.36 price difference???



Just picking sir...
I'd probably of done the same... lol

 

Cheap one called OUGESH. Had good reviews and cost only $70. 900lb torque 1/2". Hooks up to my 20v 5ah Dewalt battery. Even if it takes a dump now, it already paid for itself.

 

Not at this time. Got to leave some fun for later

 

Dude, this was ridiculous. First time I removed UCAs off a Taco. Hurt my soul to bend the fender.

 

Very, very, 'funny'. Haha. To be fair, I had NO idea there was such a thing as 'value line' when it came to toyota parts. Lol, I think I paid full MSRP for their value line which yes is pennies below their disc OEM line. smh.

 

Strange though, right?! How did they get it in there without bending?

 

Any of you guys have experience with Ark micro splashguards? Do they actually do anything? They're tiny.

 

Yeah, to be honest I didn't either until I watched one of his videos... And the parts description doesn't say crap about it either, they make it sound like they are the same thing...

 

Not certain i have this right, but I think you speak of bending a fender flange, to get the long bolt out. I have an 09 that got a new frame, they clearly swapped the control arms while the body was off the frame. This was obvious because they put those long bolts in backwards! Only way I could figure to get them out was to cut the head off the bolt and buy new. That is unless I wanted to lift the body off the frame.

I hate letting anyone touch my vehicles; I occasionally goof up too, but I correct it where I can, and otherwise, at least it is me screwing up my own stuff.

 

Body goes on after the suspension is on the frame..

 

Lol is this a trick question? I'm pretty sure they put most of the car together before they drop the body on it.

 

Made it happen. I just cleared anything that was in the way of the bolt.
