What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thought I would do a couple simple mods today.
Changed license plate bulbs, because one died, with LED. Now I get hyperflashing when signaling left and right. Now what?
Changed LEDs in fog light housings, because one died, but one broke and fell inside. Now what?

 

Finished installing a homebrew Front camera mod.

Installed an OEM front bed rail purchased from Sparks Toyota.

$53 PT27835100BH Genuine Toyota Accessories PT278-35100-BH Truck Bed Header Rail

PT27835100BH perfect fit in my '22 5ft bed. IIRC, $33 for the OEM rail, $19 S+H.

Halfway done with a homebrew Footwell Lights mod using an Oznium LED fade controller. Possible precursor for some fade in/out puddle/courtesy lights mounted underneath the truck. If I do that, my plan is to mount them on some support bolted into one of the recessed threaded holes used for installing running boards.

 

new wheels and tires...Method 705 17x8.5 w/ 265/70 17s

 

I like those. They remind me of the trd bead lock's.

 

Can you fish it out with a piece of tape on a paper clip?

 

Where there is a will, there is a way! Applies to everything. Congratulations on your hard work.

 

Idea. I got these tiny 3mm rare earth magnets, really strong. I would glue one on end of pencil, let dry completely, stick pencil into that hole to catch the bulb base.

 

I tried with a mechanic's pencil magnet but the 3x tabs made it impossible to pull through the hole and magnet not strong enough to hold the base.

 

Good idea. I think I have a few of those. Will try to rig something up.

 

Finished my shell refinish and re-install. Project thread is on the general board.

After Raptor Liner

 

The housing is held in place by a single screw (Philips washer head on a 2019). Depending on how you're accessing it might be easier to pull it.

 

That's why I get them siped when I buy them.

 

Did you install both cushion and back pads? Because that's impressive to tie together and then run to the console, considering how the rears fold.

My back seat passengers are dogs, so they'll get nothing and like it. Even the driver's floor vent is blocked by a subwoofer.

 

Some simple stuff today. During my oil change, I figured out I can use the access panel for oil filter to help keep oil from dripping down the skid plate when removing the filter housing...I hate making a mess. Finished up the AuxBeam AR-800 install (haven't hooked anything up to it yet, stickers are just to block the light) using a switch plate from R4T. Added some Christmas lights to the Diamondback...cheesy, but I like it.

 

Flexed on a Ranger for team Toyota

 

Power tailgate is done… next few mods will be things I have to pay someone else to do (Tint and Tune) so done wrenching for a bit.

 

Looks like you won that battle!

 

Paint for the truck, bumper or light?

 

Changed the oil on my TRD off road for the first time this afternoon. 1400 miles. Oil looked pretty good, but honestly a little worse than I was expecting. Filter looked good at first glance. At second glance, sure enough, quite a few little metallic bits in the filter creases. Glad I changed early and installed a magnetic drain plug.
