What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the Garmin mini dash cam today. I need the other direction short USB cable so cable pressure doesn't move the camera over time. Had to twist the dongle power supply wires to get it all hooked up. But other than that super easy install. I like the set it and forget it part. Got to remove my toll tag too as it shows on one side. Sweet. Just hope I NEVER "have" to use the footage from it but glad it is there now just in case.

 

I have a 2017 TRD OR with 75000klms and have had no reports of oil leaks so far.

 

A random leak that they cant find? Yes, people have experienced that.... Just keep it clean and look for it as time goes on

 

He’s FBI most wanted... it’s always incognito. True story

 

Do you have a link to the file?

 

We took our 1957 356A up to J3 to get all the body work done.

 

That's not the timing cover leak, is it?

I came across this recently, and have tried to keep an eye on mine. Needing to triple check, but I think this type of thing could be covered under the extended powertrain warranty.

 

I think @PapaRee had an oil leak on his 2016, I am pretty sure he told me it was covered under warranty.

 

yeah...I really miss mine in the RAV4

pics? Install how to's?

 

It was on thingiverse. My library just needed the thing# and name. This is the link I used:

The last part of the address is the thing#. Thanks to Grandare for sharing!

 

Another coat of paint after some sanding. And it's been 5 days since one of these sliders broke my big toe. The black spot on the nailmis where I jammed a hot paperclip through to let the blood out. Good times. I get to wear a walking boot for a few weeks.
The toe photo is a few days after. The first day It was just blood everywhere.

Yeah I know, you're all welcome for the ganked toe photo.

 

No pain no gain! Hey, bright side, sliders look great!

 

Yeah Coastal Offroad. I am super pleased with the quality and accuracy of the cut pieces. Pretty amazing how everything lined up so well. I think there was one small 3x3" end cap that I had to grind about an 1/8" (if that) off of because my ocd kicked in lol. From my experience I would definitely recommend them. Flat shipping rate $140 to Idaho, no freight charge, etc. I think this bumper comes in ~100 lbs. Not too bad. I've got 886's waiting to go on when I get my winch in also.

 

Ugh, that sounds delightful. Yeah, I'd like the full coverage option so I'm think AL to save the weight. Did you do any modifications or anything? [different lights/bar mount, hitch, etc]

 

Fender flares look like someone tried to buff out some scratches. They’re fine, but not great. Replacements may be in order if they begin to bug me too much.

 

I wanted to hit the like button but I just can’t bring myself toe do it. Oops to do it. Lol the sliders look great.

 

I toe-tally understand. It's just toe much toe look at.

And thanks! Im surprised how well the spray paint job is turning out. I think a couple more coats and I'll install them.

 

It is a pretty sweet deal if you like doing novice diy stuff. No modifications to the bumper itself, but I did omit the grille bar. Looks a little cleaner imo. I'm trying to find 3x3" light pods right now because four are needed. I can't decide what color or brand to go with. Rugged or baja look like possible candidates. Amber/yellow/clear/etc...decisions, decisions.

 

Awesome! I'm excited to see some pictures of it fully assembled, looks great so far. Might I add Diode Dynamics to your list of lights, to aid in the decision confusion.
