What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Awesome choice. I have the same one. Been using roughly 20 months and love it. Only glitch for me was the tailpipe was a little too close to my 265/70/17 KO2 spare. I had to do a slight mod to gain some clearance. Some have complained about drone from different brands. To me it's not so much of a drone issue as much as it is just a very noisy cabin. Seems like Toyota neglected to put any real noise dampening in these trucks and most noticeably in the rear of the cab. I felt that way before adding exhaust. You will like the sound. Much better than the much more expensive TRD exhaust. After 20 months it sounds very throaty. I am just an old 60 year old grampa but I really like the Gibson sound.

 

Flippin Amazing. I loved my FJ40

 

Got a break today from the rain so I installed my Raptor style lights with custom carbon fiber backing plates.

 

Light bar! Very pleased with the power of it “BlackOak” @33,000 lumens is as high as I’d seen when shopping. When accessory instructions start by having you throw away important pieces of your new Toyota, DON’T! Talking about those air deflectors on either side of the radiator. These are easily and only slightly modified to co-exist with the “Caliraised” brackets that arrived with my Blackoat light. They are very nice. Extend the lower mounting hole downward 4 or 5 mm to allow for better alignment of the light. All lights on the double row light bar have a clear view ahead without cutting up the stock lower grill. Installed a switch from Toyota in the blank slot next to the others. Looks like factory!

 

pictures?

 

33,000 lumens?!

 

It's matte white Plastidip.

 

Not sure if I like it..

Going back and forth between this 2

 

Today I put Wilwood brakes on my truck. The install was easy and only took a couple hours to complete.
The folks at Wilwood are top notch. My truck will be on display in the Raceline Wheels booth from tomorrow through next Saturday at KOH. I got new wheels too. They are a translucent red. I don't know if I like them yet. My theme is classic. stay with almost exact ppi Ivan replica. The red might grow on me but don't be surprised if go back to aluminum polished.

 

New addition

 

Yupp went with the 2 gallon, there’s enough room where I believe a 3 gallon would work, I’ll eventually get another 2 gallon and double stack it.

 

Ouch

 

What lights did you use?

 

Got home from work at 2 am and started installing my Baja design fog lights
They’re great! I think I need to adjust them though
Or at least the left side

 

Been a busy day. Installed the led interior lights, no photos. Expedition Essentials ram rail is installed, also finally got around to do the Pock & Lock tailgate lock and must say it’s sweeeet. Ordered a set of Ecoological bumper covers to delete the chrome off my truck. Also installed the OG Fabrication door panel molle panel. Really helps clean up all the stuff that was in my door.

 

Do all of the interior chrome rings pop off easily? Vents, 4wd, cupholder, etc...

 

I'd be curious to see what all you mounted there. How much can you actually put there and be functional?

 

Keep trying to uplod the photo. Not sure why it won’t. Basically I got 1 pouch on each side. Driver I got all my air fittings and some extra parts for it, in the pouch. Flashlight, work gloves. Passenger I kinda got it for the fiancé since that’s her side. But almost the same thing minus the gloves. It isn’t the biggest, but for the low price, and simple install it got the clutter out of my door pocket.

 

Those 1st 2 pictures are the ones to go with. Looks great!
