What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got it today and back in the Taco world!!! It’s a 21 SR 2WD 2.7 SX package and I love it so far! Let the modding begin!!!

 

used to do truck stuff and picked up this bad boy

 

Changed oil, did the metal oil filter housing swap.

FYI the oil comes out this truck at the speed and force or Thor. Mine hit the pan, and shot straight on the driveway. Just be prepared. Lol

 

I'm sure the sound is still the same. I want to see what a week's worth of exhaust fumes look against that white paint job.

 

Installed Aqua front footwells, MESO puddle pods, DS18 tweeters and removed three flickering raptor lights I had in a terrible looking triforce. Everything works and the getting the wiring through the door while having the MESO V5s done before was a pain. Still, happy with everything! The tweeters are much better than stock and about 40 bucks cheaper than the Subaru tweeters. Still plug and play!

 

DIY Tonneau with divider for gas cans made from ladder pieces found in a dumpster. Light enough to carry without help, still need to close in around the side of the toolbox.

 

Better call Saul.

Found excellent ecgs vid, sharing.

Sorry guys, I panicked a little. My fault.

Problem solved. Found a video

Today I added a safe dog restraint to my truck bed (2022). Used the two M6-1 threaded holes at the front of the truck bed and added two loops and two cables. This should be safe and last (too many reports of injured dogs from failed fabric restraints). Great for when the dog plays in the water at the local lake.

Parts (2 each):

• M6-1 x 25mm (1") screws (Can use Toyota 90148-A0006 screws)
• Tie-down Strap (

No Chrome version using a black carabiner:

 

First mod in the new truck. Completed a couple days ago but still haven't taken a finished photo of it

Added @oostroma's shift knob LED & Meso switches to my fake TRD knob, along with the latching relay kit.



Also finishing up a front end conversion on the old 2nd Gen before I sell it... putting it back to stock, as much as I can reasonably do at least.

 

Welcome and have a safe trip!

 

Safe travels and share some B.C. pictures! A trip to B.C. is on my bucket list.

PCS move? JBER?

 

I did the Kicker speaker upgrade a couple weeks ago. Added a little sub to the mix today. Did a square 8 inch Kicker in a little box that I fabed up, fits right in the passenger side rear cubby. Powering it with a Kick cxa 400.1, gives 300 watts at 2 ohms. Used a line out converter from Amazon to send a signal to the sub amp which is parked under the passenger front seat. Everything clears the seat and the sub just clears on the inside at the top, had to sand a little mdf out of the way. I would have liked to follow the lines on the cubby, but needed the room for the speaker.

Has anyone added a Kicker Key amp for the mids and highs along with the line out converter for the sub on a stock non-JBL head unit, the truck is a 2020?

 

Accessories

Also ordered BAMF bumper

 

Bumper upgrade!

 

Touched up a nick on the new RCI sliders, probably occurred during packing. The VHT roll bar & chassis flat black matches the powder coating pretty well…..

 

Been out of the military for a few years now, spent the last 7 years as a police officer in the Bay Area, decided to go back to flying and heading up there to fly helicopters full time.

 

Interior detail. What are y’all paying for windshield replacements on TSS models?

 

I will i plan on taking about 15 days for the whole trip, spending a good portion of that in BC
