What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's too cool!!! See my avatar for the opposite... lol

 

Small thing but something I've wanted to do for a while to match the steering wheel to the same lettering on the tailgate and grille and remove the last chrome and Toyota logo.

The original maker of these wasn't selling them anymore so I took the file to a local 3D printer and had him do me one out of more heat resistant materials than a similar Etsy listing was using so i wouldn't have to worry about my truck sitting for hours in the triple digit heat of the summers where I live.

 

Decided to install a spare LED strip i had laying around under the hood. Really happy with the way it turned out.

 

Wow great job

 

My son came up to visit and said he wanted to trade.

 

Added the carsynctech carplay and android auto module to my 2019 2.0 entune head unit. Should have done this years ago.

 

Are you listening to linkin park on Lincoln? Looks like a mall.

 

Gotta listen to linkin park while cruising Lincoln ave.

 

Wow!

That Merc is quite long!

 

Man I hate Linkin Park

 

Hope you said, no thank you.

 

Pondering skid plate designs

 

That's not gonna hold up on the trail...

 

Depending on how the car is used, it might make for good traction board.

 

I should paint it to look like cardboard

 

Worked a hot sweat in the Missi'ppi sun installing this. Took all of 2 minutes. Mostly me cussing trying to get the red tape off.

 

Will probably limit the LCA movement when flexing over uneven surfaces. Even RCI LCA skids mount to the LCA to move with it.

Also ... the amount of mud/dust that will accumulate will require removal often to clean out, as enough mud can accumulate at the LCAs to further restrict movement. The mud can push up into the engine area until it can be removed.

 

This looks awesome. I would like to have a trip like this

 

Bummer. My pads lasted 80k. My rotors are still original. I've heard stories of hard breaking events leading to warped rotors

 

It was time for new tires, Nothing like a new set of tires. Ready for a PNW winter now. After lots of research, I went for practicality.
