What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had a remote start installed. Negotiated it when I got the truck from the dealer. They had a mobile install company come out the house yesterday and install it. First remote start I’ve ever had on a manual.kinda tricky but it works well so far.

 

removed the carbon filter from the airbox....b/c I was bored....

put on a aluminum oil Cap....ebay...happy with it

simple

 

I’ll meet you in tonapah let’s trade hoods. I’ll throw you some cash too.

 

TVD vinyl flag stickers installed

 

Ordered a flip key off eBay and it arrived a while back.

Got it cut yesterday and configured for the truck. Works just like the one that likes holes in my pockets!
Oh the little things.

Ok, so final post on de-chroming interior. The flat black enamel set up nicely, on the lower bumper AND on the inner chrome.
Just for fun and experimenting, I masked, primed and painted the mirror knob and 4x4 knob. Tricky and I didnt dona great job, but good enough until I can pop panels for these two and remove for a more thorough job.
Up next: 5100s and 884s. Gotta get that 1.5” going.

 

I didn't take any pictures when I was doing the install, but as I recall the collar is attached to the boot with a zip tie. Just cut the stock one and add a new one lower on the shaft. I think someone did a write up on here somewhere.

 

Yeah, screwed right on. Easiest mod that I've ever done and one of the most useful.

 

Don’t have pictures yet but got some 265/70/r17 ko2s mounted up on the truck. I will post pictures when I have them.

 

New wheels from a 18' 4runner.....

 

Sexiest wheel on a 3rd gen

 

Nice! What battery set up are you going to do? I'm doing the same with the prinsu rack and a 100watt panel. Will be placing the MPPT and battery behind the backseat. Going to use it to power the fridge and camping lights.

 

Did the ol plasti dip trick to the side badges. Next nice day I’ll get the rear bumper caps done.

 

Debadge, debadge, debadge!

 

Yea I’ve debadged the tail gate. Kinda like the side guys

 

Yes, those are the ones I am using.

 

I also did the de-badge mod and just kept the door badge which I overlayed it with black matte. My next mod will be adding a front camera. I should have it in next week and maybe install it the following weekend.

 

No mods (today) other than a wash. Just a pic of an incredible New Year's Day in Oregon. Yes, the sun shines here occasionally.
