What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I measured it against the GPS reading, and have also measured it against the roadside radars. It reads about a 1mph difference from when I had the 265/70's on.

Ordered the Subaru tweeters from BAM Wholesale. Surprisingly, it was a better price on their website vs. Amazon.

Amazon (with taxes and all)



From their website (via my email):




Found a small discount on TW for 20% off shipping.

In total it's a savings of $15.21.

Probably somewhere in the ballpark of 15-18% savings. Not a whole lot, but I'll take it.

If anyone decides to do this, the code I used for the shipping discount was "minus20."

 

I noticed my bed rack was pushing my driver side wall out because I had it on too tight so I had to loosen all the bolts and let it collapse a little. Also my bed stiffeners got lose when I put it and my rtt up there I’m assuming so I got those back to fully torqued as well. Now everything is good as new!

 

You wont be disappointed.

 

Speaker upgrade.

Subaru Kicker Tweeters and Kicker DS series for front and back door.

 

pnp?

 

The Subaru Kicker tweeters are plug and play.

The door speakers are also plug and play since Crutchfield provides the appropriate adapters for free. No soldering or splicing necessary. The only cutting required is to remove the extra tabs that are not needed on the speaker adapters from Crutchfield (easily done with a pair of pliers).

If you replace the door speakers, make sure you have some plastic trim removal tools and extra assorted fasteners/fender clips (you can get complete kits for cheap from Amazon). They are easy to break or loose when removing the door panels.

 

If you order from crutchfield talk to someone and make sure they send you the correct adapters for the rear speakers. They sent me the wrong ones and I had to cut and splice my factory wiring. It’s not difficult but pnp would have been easier.

 

When you do the gps reading make sure the road is flat and straight. That will give you the most accurate speed reading. Almost every factory stock vehicle is going slower than what the speedometer says.

 

Thanks for the input. I definitely don’t want the stiffer ride. How much lift did you gain up front? I’m going with 886’s on Billstein 5100’s set at zero for 2” of lift. Don’t want bro lean either; it’s already hard enough to see over the hood when cresting something as it is. Truck looks awesome BTW!

Simple but awesome mod

 

Flat road with mile markers. Simple Time Speed Distance problem. 60 seconds between mile markers is 60 mph.

This also works but could be more expensive.
“Do you know how fast you were going?”
“Not really, I’m recalibrating my speedometer and was hoping you’d tell me”.

The calculator is a great place to start, but it doesn’t account for the built in offset of our Toyota’s. From the factory, they speedometer and odometer read faster and more miles then actual on stock tires. From the experience of members here they are most accurate at +1 tires. I have 33” tires, so my odometer reads less mile then actual, but I’ve corrected my Speedo with a rough country module.

 

Installed my Snail Armor tailgate panel. Emmie wasn't impressed that I put her on it for a picture.

 

Good to know. I have 32’s so I should be pretty close. I noticed when I set the cruise control to 65mph the speedometer reads 64mph.

 

I found 255/70r17 is 99% accurate to factory speedometer. My GPS reads within 1mph at 80mph.
