What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hope everyone is doing well, Haven't posted in a while, I have an iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 coming soon so added the CBI bed rails.

 

I love those black rhinos

 

thanks man, appreciate it. Likewise!

 

There is a molle panel that is available for behind the rear seats in the double cab. I have also seen a lock box on TW that fits behind the rear seats as well. These both replace the plastic bins behind the seats.
As a side note I don't know if you are aware but the AFT just ruled that pistol braces make your pew pew an illegal sbr as of April some time.

 

Will do, but probably won’t be another week until I actually get somewhere to give it a proper go after the install is done.

 

Technically it's what I did yesterday but treated the undercarriage and engine bay with "Salt-Away" then gave it a good hot water rinse. When I finished I figured I might as well take the snows/steelies off, take the mudflaps off, and put the nice wheels on for the summer. Of course at this point I couldn't not wash the whole truck. Also, I ordered the last of the parts to do my 2" lift. Hopefully I can install it the next weekend.

 

Firmware update

 

Yaah.
My question to you would be when did the ATF suddenly have powers of the Houses? Only the Houses have the ability to create new laws.

 

New update? What’s new?

 

You have to put it on a USB stick or something?

 

Setting the controls!

 

Yes because I dont have a wireless subscription with Toyota. I had to go to:
https://www.toyota.com/firmware-updates/download
and input my current version (in your truck's head unit push menu, Setup, on General, scroll down until you find "software update" and it will tell you your current version.
THen (on your PC), download the available update into an EMPTY/BLANK pendrive
insert the pendrive into your vehicle USB port and the head unit will automatically detect it.
Follow the instructions.
To install the files (4 total in my case), you'll have to turn your truck off (if its on) or on (if it is off, this was my case).
Life will be good. Updated my original "v1785" to the latest version "v1790". Bug fixes. Works fine, no changes noted.

 

Ordered and delivered under a week, looks like I have a project for today.

 

Swapped out the Westcott 1” rear block with the Icon RXT Stage 1 leaf pack. Much happier with the setup. Even got help from my new copilot that we brought home last Sunday. For anyone running the RXT leafs. What did you do with the retainer brackets? I currently just have them ziptied by the top ones until I get a solution (picture at the end)

Before with block


After with RXT stage 1

copilot


Also threw in the Square One Frame caps. Helped clean up the front with the viper cut

 

What cut outs are you speaking off, not sure of I missed something during my install of not on mine.. they were simple bolt ons..

 

Wow, that's unheard of with these shields.

 

I did a firmware update cuz I'm a computer guy when I first got my truck and when I went to the dealer the service guy sounded pissed that I did it, I guess they get paid from Toyota for that so they don't like it.

 

Great price, I did the same on all my LED bulbs, and saved $$$.. Deer and bear are my biggest road threats

 

Nice sunny morning. Decided it was a good day to throw on wife's rocksliders. Way easier to install then the Tacoma sliders from RCI. The top plate is also removable and they now have a mountain scene laser cut into them.
