What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[01thunder]

What are the wheels? I like them.

2014 SR5

Did you get the P or LT version of the AT3? Also what size?

they are 265/65/17. i regret now not getting the 70/17 which would have looked a lot better and are LT. i was going for the same size overall for MPG's, so i got the 65/17. those weigh 38lbs the 70/17 are 41 each. the wheels are heavier as it is so the bigger tire wouldn't have made to much difference i think.

new OEM rear wiper guide (at least that's what im calling it) and Anco universal wiper thingy (at least that's what im calling it)

Wiper not installed yet because I found the Duralast wiper blade I bought 4 years ago, but haven't found the mounting pieces that came with it...

Actually the last week I've been doing this but today I finally finished. I'll have details and more pictures in my build thread tomorrow when I have time to write something up.

What did you do to your 3rd gen today?

Got the lights working on my roof rack. Finally... This weekend I'm planning to do the ISR mod and the grey (blue) wire mod.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Had new Inner & Outer Tie Rods put in. Toyota of course.
$129 x 2
$49 x 2


Results .... WOW .. WOW.


In other news ...

Keep in mind I'm at 220k+ miles and these were the originals. Pretty much everything else has been replaced.

Tomorrow I will be putting my front sway bar back on. I recently removed it due to squeeking OEM frame mount bushings. The paint had worn away and the bar was rusting onto the bushing all causing horrible squeak.

One interesting thing: as soon as I removed it my 285s started rubbing against the stock UCAs on any decent turns. This never happened with the sway bar on. It makes a difference!

Out in the snow.

 

[Bama_Runner]

Watched it sit out in the snow. The roads around here got pretty slick so I didn't attempt to get my 2Runner out in it. I haven't finished my conversion to 4wd yet, so it had to stay home. I had to use my wife's Ridgeline, which turns out to be awesome in the snow. Never slipped a tire.

Hit that little button next to the cruise control. Then try it again.

Pics Ivan? You must not be getting mauled by the snowstorm in sunny FL.

How much were those rims BTW?:rapture:

Not a big milestone but she just keeps on going so I have to give her some acknowledgment.

Yesterday I had a full exhaust installed - from OBX headers that put on a few months ago, back -
High Flow Cat, 2.5", Flowmaster 44 Series.

Not stoked on the 44 Series. It's loud and a bit raspy at some RPMs. Hopefully it mellows out a bit.

Updated my build thread with some new stereo details

******* 02-14-14 New Stereo Installed *******


Wow. I just installed a new stereo, details below, and it is awesome. Particularly the bluetooth audio which actually sounds surprisingly great.


Pictures - Alpine CDE-HD149BT Stereo Installed

This one:
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

I paid $230 on EBAY for a brand new one with 1 year warranty.

*4V Pre-outs (x6)
* No tilt
* Decent screen
* HD Radio Tuning Built In (sounds great!)
* High Quality (2013 version) BlueTooth Audio

The BlueTooth audio really surprised me because I thought it would sound like crap. This newer equipment when paired with a new Android Device like my Nexus 7 (v2) is awesome. The head unit knows the song and you can still control everything from the Android Device which I have mounted over the clock.

Pictures of the install. I am of course using a 4 channel amplified so I have no need for the stereo wires - just cap those off.

I used spades to connect the various power and antenna wires. I don't prefer to solder the wires because it is unnecessary and makes changing the stereo a pain.















:bat:

 

[Kraze]

Son of a *****. Why have I never used spade connectors when I installed my stereos? That makes so much sense haha.
