What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Never seize, as mentioned.

Inspect the wheel, you'll see the circular female indentation on the wheel which matches to the hub male circular protrusion. Hit that area with your anti seize. Clean it up first with a wire wheel on your drill.

 

What’s a fumoto valve?
Anyhoo

BTW the vent does NOT fully close. Not that it’s a big deal but just sayin

 

Any time I have my wheels off, I clean the mating surfaces of the wheels and hubs, and then lay a thin layer of synthetic grease on the wheel surfaces and bore. It's never failed me, yet, isn't enough to sling anywhere, and a hell of a lot easier to clean than never seize!

 

Ya know they only require 83 pounds of torque. Might could be you got salt in the winter or somethings warped

 

What wheels are those? Look great.

 

Tire or wheel?

 

For the record I used a thin layer of marine grease instead of my anti seize on the hub and wheel surfaces. Its not getting slung anywhere.

 

50% Ceramic on the whole windshield. Can see out at night on back roads perfect, was initially worried about that. Was surprised how the family couldn't notice from the interior. 20% on everything else. The black interior makes it look SOO much darker than it actually is.


I've had these interior lights for a year now, love them and wife wanted some.


Found basically the same shit on AliExpress for half the price. Now her '19 Camry LE is cool on the interior. She was stoked.



Plug N Play mods are so much fun, electrical is already a huge pain in the ass to gain access and route properly, so it's so satisfying when shit just fits right into place. The whole car basically had all of the provisions for all these mods, but since it's a LE it didn't have them.

 

late to the party, so don't know if it's a serious question but the Fumoto Valve replaces your oil drain plug with effectively a locking ball valve which means you don't need to remove the drain plug to do an oil change and instead you can just unlock the valve and drain her out.

So my truck just finished getting a clay bar and 2 Stage Polish a few hours ago and I gotta say it be looking niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Plus I added some TRD Sport badges. Mine were old and peeling so i decided instead of putting stickers like everyone else, Id put the badges on the bed instead of the door like everyone else. Anyways, hope yall like it, if you don't i don't really care. (jk i hope you do as much as me).
Oh yeah, Skywalker says HI.

 

Fluid Film and it's cleaner.

 

Hard to beat a clean black truck! looks great, did you end up springing for a ceramic coat too?

 

I did not due to pricing, I think I will in a few months though. The truck looks so clean but the guy was telling me it would look like glass if i also get paint correction. I do sort of regret not getting the coating.

 

Relation Race RR7 -V

 

I use aluminum friendly Anti-Seize between the face of the rotor/drum and the mating surface of the wheel. The "aluminum friendly Anti-Seize" is silver, and is compatible with my aluminum wheels. There is a copper based anti-seize that could be used if your running steel wheels. Paint on a thin layer between the rotor/drum and the wheel mating surface focusing on the hub boss and then wipe off almost everything that was applied. If too much material is left on the rotor (especially the rotor) the carrier oil in the anti-seize can bleed onto the disk and negatively affect your breaking performance.

 

I really love what you’ve done with the truck! it looks awesome.

 

My previous build out was pretty much adding things that work (and don't work) for my adventures, which was practical but kinda cobbled together. So now that I know what I want the truck accessories to do I am taking everything off and rebuilding it much cleaner to serve my purpose.
Hopefully by the end of next week I get my Prinsu racks so I can finish it all up before my road trip to Texas mid August.

Just another photo I took today.

 

It does look extremely practical. Same thing I’m going for with my build, I like it!

 

Does anyone want a set of Bilstein 5100's, I'm in SC. I'm gonna clean them up this week. I can also ship them in my Dobinsons boxes.

Can move the coils up or down or disassemble for you as well.

 

Agreed about using the silver/grey anti-seize compound. And it seems the wheels getting stuck seems to happen more with aluminum rims vs steel IMP. The sliver anti-seize is also what I use when installing new spark plugs.
