What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh wow, how much did they run you?

 

Definitely depends on where you get them. I had the 2nd gen running boards for a while and loved the look just wasn’t using them. Those were 200.
The 3rd gen ones seem to run a little more used on CL for about 300-350

 

Spent some time cleaning up this Facebook barn find today! C4 fab rock sliders with TRD stamps. $200 picked up!! Such a great steal. Should have them mounted on Monday.

 

Cool, definitely going on the short list. I was looking at getting some 2nd gens but these look way better

Damn! Nice find

 

That was easy enough. I don't believe you need to take out the bolts in the center console. I did, but it looks like that was not needed. It came out fairly well. Went a bit fast so it could be a little cleaner of a coating. Looks so much better though, and no more blinding glare.

Don't mind the dirt and hair, haven't done the weekly interior clean yet. My dogs get the inside amazingly dirty by the next day after cleaning

 

How do you sit on such narrow seats????? And no head rests?????






Looks great!!!

 

Picked up a 2020 OR grille last night to replace my replica pro grille. Painted it black before putting it on.

Dont mind the messy garage

Before



After

 

Been wanted a TRD offroad badge for my truck. Runnin4Tacos took it down off their site recently. I emailed them and they said they would be offering them again shortly. My other alternative would be to buy the OEM badge, but have a hard time spending $50 on a badge...

 

Looks cozy.

 

Same here, signed a deal to find my 2020 last November. When I got home ordered rock sliders from RCI and made my Chrismas ornament...

 

Nice! I think your's are nicer. I got mine for like $8 on ebay.

 

i actually really like that OR grille, I feel it’s a bit underrated. If my truck came with that one I’d definitely keep it.

 

Yeah I love it, I just don’t like the grey color it is from factory. I’ve had 4 grilles now and as soon as I put it on I knew this is the one I was keeping.

 

ive taken it off before, took less than 5 minutes. it is just as easy as in that video.

 

No pics, but I got a pair of Philips H9 bulbs and a couple of extensions to mod. I swapped the H9s in place of the original H11s. They are noticeably brighter and it's a pretty cheap mod. About $30 for the bits on Amazon.

 

There’s a member that sells them.

Looks great. I’m looking to do the same thing. The pro grille is nice but everyone and their cousin has one.

 

There’s a spray called Bulldog that is an adhesive promoter. It basically etches what ever plastic you spray it on and helps the paint adhere. You spray it with that and then do the color. Last but not least I would recommend a coat or 2 of clear. Hope it helps!

 

No, it's not.

This video was a little more realistic. I'm a wussy when it comes to forcing things that don't seem to want to go. As careful as I tried to be, I still broke 2 tabs off the armrest box trying to separate it from the shifter/e-brake part of the center console (grrrrr...). No one else will ever know, but I will.

 

I used the Dupli-Color adhesion promoter figuring there'd be no question whether it was compatible with their paint or not. Something didn't go right, not sure why yet, but thanks...
