What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you have to modify the grill like the site said you had to? Is yours a replica or OEM? I didn't see where they wired it into the DRLs. Is it just a T-Tap? Thanks.

 

For some reason, 3rd gens don’t come with the front bed rail, so I had to get one for these RCI high lift mounts got a lotus high lift slider adapter also. RCI has everything 15% off right now. It didn’t equate to much on this purchase but if you’re looking for sliders or skids, it might save you some coin

 

To my eye they look identical in color temperature. I have bulbs for highs, lows, and fogs ordered that should all be white as well. I’ll post up more pics in less light ASAP so you can see. I’m happy with them.

Edit. Tough with the iPhone but this is just DRLs and grille lights.

 

Installed winch plate bumper. Got it from a local guy who makes them up in B.C.

 

I did have to modify the slots with a small triangular file and small hacksaw for the lights to fit. It wasn’t hard. Took my time and it might have taken a half hour to prep the grill to accept the lights. This is a faux pro grille. I wanted to practice on a cheapo before committing on an OEM piece.

For now I used the add a tap fuse to connect the harness to power. I’ll definitely be tapping directly to DRLs once I figure out how to do it without making any changes to the factory wiring. I am anti splice. I’d like to make an extension piece for the DRLs harness and tap into that.

 

Yep. When you solder it together , just leave enough wire. Heres some pics.

 

I replaced the stock 12v outlet with dual usb.




Added 4 clips to my WT rear mat on the driver side... My wife prefers to sit in the back with my son watching korean dramas and whatnot, but always messes up the mat.




I also finished the rod holder mod found here on TW.

For any and all anglers interested, all that is needed is a Rotopax Toyota/Nissan mount or diy, Berkley rod(s) holder, drill driver, a 3/16 drill bit, and a pack each of these...



A regular nut and washer would suffice as well.

 

That looks great. Do you have to do any cutting or does it just bolt on. Does he ship and how much. Thanks for the post. Looks like what Warn should have done. And no hoop. Great

 

I would also like to mention this for the 1% of Tacos on TW without seat covers (yet.) The bottom rear of the front seats are an excellent place for rip away pouches.

 

It was 800 canadian. Bit of cutting remove the nose piece and trim so it looks good. Not sure if they ship. Flex it fab check them out on Facebook.

 

Did you do the install yourself? Prior experience?

 

Swapped chrome TRD OR surround for black SR grille surround.

 

@Mobtown Offroad has a great low Pro winch bumper. Should be up on site soon. Similar install, minimal weight, minimal cutting.

 

Got my new bhlm headlights put in finally.

 

I wired my 4 whites to DRL and Headlights, now my grill lights and DRL’s run all the time, I like it

 

Is it wrong to own a Sport but plan on getting Off Road fender flare and valance to add more black? I think I have problems..

 

Love that idea. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to get pictures for me. Thanks!

 

Did you use splices to connect into the factory DRL harness like the recent runnin4tacos video showed or did you use an alternative method?

 

I used the jumper method from the video. I used the harness

 

I will be doing this at some point. Here's the thread you need.
