What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

A better mouse trap, peanut butter on the can. Prop a stick up as a ramp to within an inch or two of the can.

 

"Sadistic but sort of humane" strikes that fine balance between not wanting to hurt animals basically ever and how I feel about these rats threatening my "already becoming a piece of shit" truck.

 

It’s not just for manuals otherwise why have it. I was under the impression that it helps relieve pressure on the trans or something like that. I use mine every time and will continue to and believe it or not it’s not just a frozen thing because it has happened to me a handful of times… in Florida. Of all those times it was within the first yr and I think I washed it the night before each time (not 100 positive). I was able to break it free by reverse/drive but it definitely jerked. I still wash in the evening/night without driving until the following day and it hasn’t happen since that first yr.

I definitely think that is a piss poor solution by mechanics or Toyota- don’t use it under certain circumstances.

 

Eagerly awaiting your thoughts sir.

 

Look back one page a post 222836.

 

My set of USR switchback signals showed up today, only took about a half hour and i love them.i find them way nicer than sequential signals. Also I didnt hook up the DRL tho, i dont particularly like the look but i picked them up for a good deal.

 

But switchbacks are fun.

Looks good though

 

Just finished installing the Kicker Subaru Tweeters in my 2021 SR5. What a tremendous difference in clarity! Next is the Kicker door speaker upgrade with sound deadening material as well.

 

Your Christmas lights look like barbed wire

 

I was one of those horror stories. Remover the vinyl and found scratches on driver side back door.

So I ended up ordering some pillar covers from Tufskiz. Covered up the scratches but back to square one.

 

OMG!

 

Yeah. Lesson learned. The vinyl is there for a reason. I prefer it not be there, but holy sh*t!

 

No Photos (yet)

Did the following today in my 17' Sport:

Installed DMH-WC6600 NEX w/maestro, followed the advice in that thread for drilling through the OEM brackets

Installed the aftermarket Qi charger from Amazon (works much better, but phone [iphone 12 mini] slides around a bit)

installed iDataStart CMHCXA0 and Drone X1 (superrrr easy!)

I still have tweeters, and front+rear speakers sitting in the boxes from crutchfield to install.

 

Nothing fancy, but finally removed the chinstrap on my '21 Nightshade.

 

Looks great

 

Dang. No whammies no whammies stop. Mine had a little spot on the pillar, not a lot a scratch so I mostly buffed it out.

 

Found the entry point:



The rest of the cavity under the cowl looks pretty clean (rodent-wise), now trying to decide if and how I should try to close that gap in the plastic grate.





I took off the passenger-side kick panel and looked up there but don't see any chewed wires or carpet pad. Don't really see any damage in the engine bay either so I'm hoping it was among the last few mice I caught a while back.

 

The issue is that lint padding came from somewhere? Doesn't look like the screen is chewed? Oops! I see it now!
Hopefully they won't come back.

 

It is, bottom right corner.
