What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

After mounting the 34" tires. I had to teach myself how to align my truck. I installed SPC UPC and the alignment shop BUTCHERED it. It rubbed like crazy. Last few days I have dialed the alignment in pretty much perfect. NOT going back to a shop EVER AGAIN!!!

 

That looks sweet! Much more reasonable than the alternative... Very cool find.

 

I haven’t noticed a drastic difference yet as I’ve only had the tires on for 15-20’ish miles since the install. I think my speedometer is already a little off to begin with. I’ve noticed about a 1mph difference on stock tires when I pass those radar speed signs on the road.

 

That color is so clean it even looks great stock! I think you just gave me the courage to get rid of my spacer lift and go back to stock height for now.

 

I run the same size Wildpeaks and the difference seems negligible if there is any.

 

Installed a cheapo tonneau cover from RC. Does what I need it to and doesn't look too shabby!

 

Ahhh Yeaaaa! Those files look familiar!
Glad you like it!

 

Chris Marsh at Apex Automotive in Addison. $250 for the tune

 

Was just to show strength of magnet lol plus can’t take a pic of it holding my phone with the phone?!

 

my daughter is almost 3 and I would love to get her a skateboard soon. I skated regularly for about 10 years and I’d say since I was 20 maybe once every few months. But I’m 31 now and it’s probably been a few years since I even touched my board besides doing a kick flip in the garage every once in a while. I just bought a new house and the property is more than double my last house. I would love to build a mini ramp or at least a ledge for the back yard.

 

Sooo I bought mine today, does that count as doing something?

 

Got this bad boy installed for my tailgate. I feel at eased now. Hate manually unlocking and locking my trunk. That pop n lock on the to do list down the road—didn’t feel like doing a major mod yet lol.

 

Been busy for the last few:
Changed all the oils, Toyota for engine along with a TRD filter, genuine Toyota 75W in the transfer case, Motorcraft in the transmission, Redline in axles.
Then 2-1/2 days of washing and waxing -- this shiny truck thing is hard work!
Wax is

$20 Collinite 476S Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat Wax-Carnauba + Polymer Sealant - High Gloss Shine + Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Beading & Long-Lasting Paint Protection for Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles (9 fl oz)

Collinite 476S, an old style paste wax in a tin can -- I spill liquid wax every time.

 

Go overboard on anything lately?
Remove tailgate plastic so I could wax under it, then spray Cosmoline RP 342 inside the tailgate.

 

Installed a HF 12k winch today.

 

You triggering my ocd... lol. Good work though!

 

Got my mirror from Bobs Automotive Mirrors just now!

Looks brand new, can’t wait to program it in the morning.

 

I feel the same way, but damn... that price.

I've gotten into the habit of pulling the P3 whenever I'm not actually towing, and when I am towing I'm only getting in/out maybe once for a piss break aside from departure and arrival. So for now, my P3 will do.

 

Mind me asking what you paid, and how straightforward wiring is for it? Does it just pull power from the existing harness for the auto-dimming mirror?

Also, for those of you with longer term experience with this, how do you feel about the function of the garage door openers? We have this style mirror on both of our Subies as well, but the damn things don't work worth a damn unless we're practically kissing the garage door.

 

Just picked it up today! First mod... 3rd gen obtained. Now i gotta start all over with mods, but that's half the fun!
