What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my grill finished up.

Getting ready to paint the roll bar

Soon the roll bar will be painted along with the tool box the same color as the runner. The tool box will be removeable, using pull pins.

Installed a Pioneer AVIC910-XBT Navigation/Radio last night I bought on Craigslist. It's pretty awesome!

I see, in your vehicle description below your post, that you have your trans cooler mod too. Love mine. Same color paint as mine too. Like the Pioneer head unit and the LED set up in your dash, but What is the HVAC conversion? I am curious.

all the HVAC controls are LED too, you can see in the dark picture. I have LED dome, map, reverse, and marker lights coming too.

BlackCat914,

I understand now. Converting the HVAC backlighting to LED, not a conversion of the HVAC to something else.

yes. I would NEVER give up my manual controls for electronic actuators.

Bought a stock air intake to replace the K&N series 77 intake that's in my truck now. (Anyone want to buy that?)

Also...
Started the 3rd gen 3rd row seat project. Bought a 2nd gen front seat from a salvage yard for $60. Now I need to modify the mounting brackets and work on getting it installed securely. My family can't fit without a sixth seat.

Anyone have any 2nd gen seat brackets that they'd ship to me? Just need the 2 rear brackets off a front seat. I know they're attached to the slide rail, but shipping the whole rail would be costly. Cut off the rear brackets and it'll be cheaper to ship. Anyone?

Rear brackets will be welded on in place if the fronts for a flat install.

It's been a big week for my '99, Toytec Ultimate and LR UCAs went in yesterday, Duratracs are going on 1st thing in the morning. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!

Pictures or it's all internet rumors! :clock:

Tinted front windows 35%. Clay bar, polish, & waxed - probably the best conditioned Anthracite paint in the Northeast, but I'm biased.

I got a ticket for my side marker light being out, $125 fricking dollars!! :mad2: :yell: **** da police!! ...So I changed it today, it was probably the easist and simplest thing I've changed since I got my runner.

Meeting their end of the month "quota". Im always careful around the last few days of the months.

Pulled a pair of heated seat elements, switches, and harness out of an 03 Infiniti QX4 that was a buy back due to a failed recall. It'll be nice when it gets cool out.

Got my seats in. Best $550 I've spent so far.
Old

New to me. front and back

Installed clear corners and bumper lenses from fleabay. and also disabled my DRL's

I reached in, and pulled out the defective stock alternator. Behold!

Replacing it with a CS-144 140 amp alt when it comes in. If everything works out, I'll be sure to post part numbers for anyone else interested in that mod.

While I was in there, changed my belts too (with the help of SFB's great guide.) If you ever do the same, I recommend hitting those bolts with PBlaster overnight, just in case someone tightened them to fifty thousand foot-pounds like my PO apparently did.

Edit: And I cannot overstate how important spending $10 on a 14mm gear wrench is for that job. Just do it. It is so worth it.

550 for a full set, front and rear? Score!
