What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah I agree some leds out there are pushing 8000 lummins

 

Not a Gen 3, but still cool say this on vacation in Aruba. A nice, clean old school Hilux.

 

The Halogen reflector is tuned for a halogen bulb, when you install an LED in a Halogen reflector it screws up the light reflection because it's not mated together

 

When I got mine last year, 22 ORAC LB automatic it was was only available in 3 colors. Not sure if you order the premium package you get more color choices

 

Definitely the photo that makes the green show through, in person no green or they would have been peeled off lol

 

Added 2nd Gen Running Boards (

$528 PT212-35055 Running Board

PT212-35055). This should help the wife get in/out easier and add a little door ding protection.

 

Lostar skid plate. Not a hard install and way better looking than the ugly thing that comes stock on the TRD off-road.

 

Home

Love mine. Had them from day one. Help keep road grime, rocks and debris off the side of the truck. At 5’-11” it’s a little more difficult for me getting in and out of the driver seat. They act as a bit of a barrier. Not really usable to use as a step for getting in and out.

 

there is only one package with these. not really any options to even have it just is what it is. there are (or was) 4 colours. black, white, grey, blue crush. i really wish toyota let us canadians have the led headlight upgrade but were stuck with halogens unless buying a pro or limited

 

these look great! Where’d you find them? The Amazon link only brings up the newer tube style running boards

 

Folks will think I’m crazy, but I traded my gray Semas for a set of 2020+ Sport rims. Overall I like the sport rims better in looks and the fact that the mud flaps cover them completely.

The Semas were cool but I also get tired of seeing them on every third Toyota I pass be it a 4R or Tacoma. Happy with the trade and so is the nice fella I traded with.

Also traded my black tip TRD catback for the chrome version, which works well with the shiny portions of Sport rims.

 

i agree with you. dark wheels on a dark truck is kinda bland.

 

Agreed. My truck kind of looked like a gray blob with the Semas.

 

I am folks

 

2nd gen running boards are plug and play?

 

Couldn't help notice your good lookin Taco is by a sign advertising 2 liquor stores.

 

Hah, yeah I guess that’s the luck of that discount tire location in the background!

 

@BLtheP

Very interesting! I think Bronze Wheels go well with any color.

I like the look as well...and I'd have to do a double-take to see if you had a "skewp". lol

I'll be switching wheels/tires in the future but I will probably keep my Sport Wheels. I'm collecting parts I've removed or replaced from my Sport.

Maybe one day I'll put them up for sale!

 

I love bronze, and considered the Semas in bronze and then just selling my gray Semas, but ultimately I didn’t want to lose money. Also, bronze on gray just wasn’t my favorite. I like it, but it doesn’t ‘pop’ like bronze on white or black to me. I’ve always liked the 2020+ Sport rims (and for a while I wished I got the Sport which would have had the rims I wanted), so I posted up a feeler on FB and within like 3 minutes I had someone agree to trade.

And it’s funny you say that about double taking on the ‘skewp’, I tell people I’m creating a Sport/OR hybrid lol. Offroad suspension and locker, Sport rims, paint match bumper caps. Only things I’m missing really are the skewp and the stickers.

I’ll probably remove my bed stickers eventually, making it impossible to know. They won’t know if it’s a Sport with a OR hood, or an OR decked out in sport gear, lol.

I think I’m gonna stick to the small tires, I like how they drive and they look good enough to me. No lift will ever happen here, I just don’t want to mess with it.

 

@BLtheP

Well, here's a pic of the front wheel the day I took her home!



Since I had the Bushwacker Fendys installed, I've got the bug to do a lift in about 6-8months! YeeeeHaaaaw!
