What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Used CarPro Iron-X on my windows to remove water stains.

Ordered Morimoto XB LED Tail Lights.

My TRD PRO tails with Meso Total Tails will be for sale.

 

I did the same thing I got the genuine ones from Desert for the driver seat and ended up ordering a set off Aliexpress for like around $20 for the passenger side, quality isn't to far off just make sure they are aluminum versions and not ones made of plastics.

It's so hard to justify $100+ for a set of genuine seat jackers sadly.

 

I got these on both front. Looks and feel good. https://www.ebay.com/

p.s. darn! Not sure why the link doesn’t work?!
Here’s the seller and item screen shot…

 

I have been on the phone a few times with Bak Industries which is now part of Real Truck.com and they are looking into the claim as the cover continues to come apart, not getting better but just getting worse.
Gorilla glue makes a flex tape that is 4 inches wide and 10' in length that I think i am going to use to fix it, myself and if they warranty it, i will send it back as it is, how do i send it back god only knows most likely truck freight at my cost of course ,or if i get a replacement and i can fix the present one i may just give the old one away or keep the bad one on the truck and put the good one away in storage.

 

WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE THEM FROM FOR $ 100.00 ?
Any tips drilling into your hood?

I've got the same ones, installed them a few weeks into owning the truck.

 

Completed over 400 miles of 4x4 driving on a 1500 mile camping trip last week. 8 passes in 6 different national forests
All in Colorado (home state).

down in Ouray we got a little trail rash on Engineer pass, Corkscrew gully. Compliments of a Jeep Wrangler who slid down onto my rig. Considering he had a bright orange crease the entire length of his truck, we called it even and moved on.

I'm happy about my trucks overall performance.

1. The passenger windows jumped it's track from vibration. It is lost down in the door. I took on rain intermittent for 3 days.
2. Tailgate retention cable nut wiggled lose is lost inside the tailgate.
3. First trip in awhile without a single blown tire.... the load E do seem to hold up better with all the weight in the truck on the sharp rocks. I actually stopped airing down on day... so anyone on the fence about E rated tires that has a heavy rig go for it....

 

Got these new tire holders in matte bronze.

 

Test fitting my thule on my roof rack. Think this would cause any issues?

 

Bored, so I painted the drums.

Bronze on white looks so good

 

Finished my DIY Trail Edition Lift today. Added 5100’s to the front at 1.1” and added a Toyota .5” block in the rear. Before and After pictures!

 

Had an OVRLND topper made to order and installed in Flagstaff. Then camped in it. (Actually on March 19th. I'm... somewhat behind on posting. ) https://campovrlnd.com/ Many great nights since. I think I'll keep it.

 

You can pick up a set on Amazon for $100. I just wrapped some blue painters tape around my drill bit as a stop. Not too much pressure, you’ll be ok.

 

I recognize the new g003’s because I’ve run them myself but what tire is that you’re taking off? Don’t recognize the tread pattern, looks nice though.

 

"Hard" drill stops are sold that clamp into the bit and do more than just show depth ... if you really want to put full protections in place.

 

I was cheap.

 

I did not say you chose the wrong path, just that "hard stops" exist for those who do not trust their reactions.

EDIT: you can also use a scrap piece of wood on top of the tire to prevent the drill bit from accidental drill damage.

 

Today I installed a blue Mishimoto silicone intake tube and the TRD air accelerator. I haven't test driven yet and may not for a few days because I had to finish up work then me and wifey went to buy her new car, 2024 Lexus RX350 AWD Premium, so I'm sure she will want to take that everywhere we go for a while.
