What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I had mine for a while with no issues at all.

I upgraded to a 3 camera system with an LCD rear view mirror. After installing my spare it blocked all the visibility to the rear. Currently my rear facing camera is outside the truck on the roof rack. It is a much wider viewing angle than looking through the cab.

This is the one I currently run with the Dongar Adaptor. unfortunately its currently unavailable.

 

Drove it to work. The snow makes the white truck with black badges looks that much sexier

Unrelated: any experiences with the Corolla Cross? Looking at ‘24 XLE for the wife, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

 

Does your backup camera still function with the head unit? I did the anytime camera mod and have noticed in some head units i get my hands on for testing that the camera no longer pops up when placed in to reverse.

 

How tffffff did you get the bolt out on the tailgate? I've had one of these for over a year but that Torx bolt refuses to come out.

 

So i know from reading, the users on here are far more creative and experienced with experimenting under the hood. I was wondering if anyone knew how to wire up and install 2 extra horns. Do they just wire together or do i need 2 seperate relays because im adding, not just plug and play. My ocd doesn't like how theyre off to the one side behind the grill. Would love to get 4 hella red horns behind the pro grill. TIA!!!

 

Would the bump-stops be noticeable during street driving conditions? Or, just going over speed bumps and off-road?

 

While the grits are simmering thought I would give an update.

Aired up to 45#, cleaned MAF sensor, topped off coolant, unbolted battery to reset computer, checked oil.

Will this Dielectric grease keep off the corrosion on battery?

What do I do with a 1/2 can of MAF cleaner? The last can I kept for like a couple years produced a busted pushbutton connection and all the fluid oozed out below spray nozzle so I set it on the driveway until it stopped spewing and was empty.

 

Today project. It had been sitting in storage for over 6 months.

 

I know nothing about those. But they are sexy looking. I wish they made those in a wagon

Those look awesome!

 

Yes, it's noticeable for daily driving.
Softens the ride and gives more control.

 

I second that! What a great community to be part of, everyone helping everyone. Thanks TW crew

Pulled a trailer to Cudjoe Key and back for a mini vacation. Fun times.

 

these (and the ones before) are some amazing pics!

 

Mine was about worst case scenario, had to drill the head, still couldn’t get the shank out so I had to drill the tack weld and remove the entire backing piece. Not at all difficult, just time consuming. Helped a friend with his install and gave the bolt a few good taps with a punch and then bowed up on it with an impact T40 socket and came right out! Things to consider is my truck is a 2018 with more off-road abuse and corrosion than his 2021 pavement princess! Hope it works out for you.

 

Yeah.. Mine's a 2021 and doesn't get as dirty as it should. No amount of whacking on it with an impact driver made a difference, need to get more aggressive on it.
