What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What fog lights are those?

 

I got a Pedal Commander for my 2019 TRD OR. Does that count?

 

New shoes

 

North in Hernando, Desoto Co.

 

Definitely get an attorney regardless if they have the same insurance as yours. A few years back I was involved in a wreck and the lady who t-boned me had the same insurance (Allstate) as I did and I thought they would handle it with no issues. Boy, was I wrong. After everything was settled and had my car totaled and replaced I thought that was the end of it. Nope, I received multiple bills from the hospital, ambulance company, and physical therapist that her insurance didn't fully cover. This was a year and a half later after the accident! Had I retain an attorney all of this would have been avoided.

 

Mark, that looks great. Any pics of where you tapped into? I'm gonna give this a shot whenever my truck and softopper show up.

 

Just put in a Baja Designs Squadron SAE Amber FPK Pair LED Fog Light Kit. I had Morimoto fogs before, I think these are better - more adjustment possible.

 

Almost forgot. Today I put in the Cali Raised Bed LEDs. They are bright as hell. Also put on the only additional words that I'll be putting on my truck, a pair of MGPS tag frames. Little by little, it's coming together.

 

Truck was swiped while parked at work today. I thought I had parked far enough away, guess not. Guy was straight up about it and found me right away to tell me. It’s more trouble than it’s worth to get it fixed due to my schedule for the next month. I’m thinking now I have a reason to cut the fenders back for larger tires!!

 

That sucks dude. It looks like it's just the fender flair that got scuffed, so it probably wouldn't be too hard or expensive to get a replacement, have it paint matched, and swap them out when you get an hour and a couple beers.

 

Just ordered the MGPS tag frame for the brother-in-law as a birthday gift. He recently purchased a new subie manual.

 

Haha, nice! In general I don't like adding words or bumper stickers to things, especially vehicles. I even ripped the TRD tri-color emblem off the grille the previous owner installed because that isn't how I roll. Also ripped out the raptor-style lights for the same reason. I don't knock others for doing it, just not my style. But... MGPS I can show support for because the choose-your-own-adventure transmission makes this truck so much more fun to drive. I don't think I would be enjoying this thing as much as I am after the untimely demise of my cherished Mazda3 (also 6-speed) if it didn't have a manual. It also helps that I now have the Mazda3 shift knob installed instead of that crap Toyota decided to ship with it.

 

Cool! The Mazda3 shift knob is a definite upgrade I’m sure. I bought my truck in December of 2020 and it was the last TRD Off-road on the lot and an automatic. Kind of regret not holding out for the MT but it was around the time inventories we’re starting to get thin so I left with it a couple hours later. As we all know the MT is an excellent theft deterrent as well.

 

I used to often head out to the Anza Borrego area back in the 70's with my High School buddies to camp and do what High Schoolers do. In those days you could drive up Coyote Creek in your capable vehicles and into Sheep Canyon. I had a 1965 Ford F-100 step side short bed with a side mount spare. I would lead the way up the creek on my 17" rims ahead of Ford Bronco's. My trusty German Shepherd "Aragon" bouncing in the bed. Never better times to be had. Now I return to Borrego Springs in my Winnebago Mini Winnie to camp at "The Springs" with an occasional trip to Shelter Valley off of Scissors Crossing.

 

The older I get..the better I was!

 

Had some fun in the snow in an empty section of the neighborhood

 

Check for water intrusion. I'm on my second set which are also taking in water but not as much. I'm super disappointed in the quality of the lens (they cracked which I think is where the water came in) and the fact that BD told me to send in EVERYTHING for the return, but they didn't send back the wiring harness. And FYI for anyone else, the combo lens is insane. I didn't see on the BD website, but the combo lens is/should not be street legal. They're absolutely blinding. But great offroad!

 

Are these rubberized like the other RAV knobs?

 

Are you talking about the bed lights that install into cutouts in the rear of the bed? The 21 OR is pre-wired for them. Just need to pop out the blanks and connect to the wiring located behind the tail lights.

 

What'd they quote you?

The bed lights are plug & play. Install is 10 mins per side, no wiring in the dash. You can get OEM for $50ish or get the superbrights from Caliraised

If your not sure pull a tail light and check for the connector. Plenty of vids out there on the install.
