What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today, but last night... Changed out headlights for the TRD-Pro 2019 chrome-less version along with some Meso fancy (color-matched) trim panels. Looks pretty good. Matches the 2020 tails I installed a few weeks ago pretty well. I'll get a pic up sometime today.

Changed all the bulbs to leds except for the hi and lo beams. Having also installed the Meso Total Tail Stage 1, I ended up with the dreaded hyper-flash.

Anyone know of some clean way of dealing with the hyper-flash rather than cutting into wires and splicing in resistors? Like, is there a led turn signal bulb that draws enough current to make the blinker circuit happy?

 

Would be interesting to know if the adhesiveness is affected over time in the wet vs. dry application method. Let us know if you see any differences.

 

I did mine dry had some small air in it used a pin to let the air out and it looks great. I think dry worked best for me and still on there same as the day I put them on about 1.5 years ago (over 30,000 miles).

 

Look for LED bulbs that say”resistor built in” or “CANBUS compliant”.
I swapped out my tail and signal bulbs with LED and had to install resistors. It’s not too difficult to do. I found out the above info after I changed the bulbs in the truck so the LED bulbs I installed in my bike work normal and are much brighter than the original incandescent bulbs.

 

Glad to know I’m not the only one confused by the traitor flag on a Canadian vehicle

 

I will look into this.

I was kinda' surprised to find the Meso Stage 1 kit didn't include resistors, thought the previous version had them.

 

Just arrived today, after waiting 2 months for them. Now I don't need them. (Headrest covers) Will probably list in BST thread. They are nice covers tho.

 

Soooooo clean, love it!

 

Contact @MESO, he’ll take care of ya. Every truck is so different that they don’t all need resistors.

 

I figured he'd be busy with the twins.

 

Took her out to lunch at her favorite eatery (Taco Grill) and snapped a quick pic of the '19 Pro headlights and Meso trim plates:



Got the food to go. She needs a bath really bad and I wasn't comfortable bringing her inside.

 

Installed a rack for the softtopper.

 

Installed Bartact front seat covers, need to fit them little more, still need to do rears. DSM phone mount showed up today. Stopped at Discount Tire, Cooper running rebate again $70 and $40 off if on DT CC. I'll pay if off when it comes. Waiting on Cooper AT3 4S 265/75/16.

 

That rack is sweet!

 

So clean, so nice. Well done. Personally, I'm digging those switches and the relay setup looks pro!

 

Looks like they do.

I imagine most decent sized cities have a local place though.

 

Looks amazing!

 

Nice. I may steal that idea.

 

I have a pair of year old pups and they can hear a flea fart two courts over......buff.

 

TW does have a specific forum for food!!!!
