What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[Twan]

LED domes. Map lights on the way.

Recently got the same ones you posted, and it's impressive how much light it puts out. They're a tad whiter than I'd prefer, and the board didn't fit in the front anywhere near as well as the rear, but the amount of light is a huge improvement.

I happend to park in front of a building with very reflective glass—so I sat there and just admired my truck's reflection. Yeah I'm a dork...

Nice!

Er I forgot to post up from the other day, replaced all vac hoses with silicone tubes I ordered from siliconeintakes.com (based out of CO springs, so I got the package in like...36 hrs). Most of the old ones were split, idle seems to have smoothed out after replacing. Gas mileage? Hoping it returns to ~17mpg instead of the ~13 I've gotten the last three tanks.

Spring cleaning.
Full underbelly wash, rust proofed again, brake vacuum valve, etest, bell crank, front rotors, alignment, tire balancing and an engine shampoo.
All is good for the year now :bravo:

 

[Jedrattle]

Had the flywheel resurfaced so I can get started on my clutch and dual case install :driving:

 

[BoarderDave]

Previous owner had standard, old, used, boring, Osram, no-nothing headlight bulbs in it.
I upgraded to Philips CrystalVision Ultra bulbs. Drove around a bit last night and BOY is there a wonderful difference. I love em.

Thank you everyone who has commented! I wish I could do these updates more often but I'm quite busy with work lately.


Spare tire update!

You can see how awesomely this SKINNIER 255x85x16 fits in the factory location with the Savage Offroad Rear Bumper.

It's been an expensive week for me. Just back from having left rear panel installed after a rock cracked it on the way to work on Monday. Aftermarket gasket seals were pretty goofy on first attempt from shady glass place. That, and they scratched the replacement glass. I had them take it out and give me my money back.

All Star Auto Glass was very professional and a stark contrast to the first place. I think it would have been cheaper to have the windshield crack though.

 

[thaemcee2]

washed and cleaned

finally got it washed 2 days ago and its already showing dirt!
also got a 30mm rear coil spacer from ironman (makes primarily landcruiser stuff) installed rear D side and stacked 2 10mm OME packers on P side...my truck is finally level after a month of trial and error geez!
in case anyone wants it the part # is LCF30 they make 30 and 15mm

 

[Neil_R]

Got a new muffler today. Magnaflow 18" case. Much more quiet than a muffler with a hole in it.

 

[Labrum777]

Flashlight panel

Finally installed my maglight on the runner.

 

[calimobber]

Well I went to the junk yard to get a valve cover as the po cracked it while tightening it. Ended up pulling a set of 01 tails and center console to replace the ones in my 97. Neither were a direct swap, but I got them both to work. Also pulled a drivers seat out of one that was in good shape to replace mine with as at some point in the seats life, the bracket broke and someone welded it back together..kind of sketchy.

Installed stiffer front swaybar bushings, extended the rear diff breather, installed an SS panhard bar, modified the fuel tank skid to clear the driveshaft/zerk and removed the running boards....it actually looks lifted now.

After letting it sit for a while, finished my 99 cupholder mod with a 3D printed switch plate, so that I could keep the window control there and add more switches in the future:



Not quite a perfect match, but better than the gaping hole that was there. The handbrake boot is also custom, made from a thick piece of silicone. I didn't like how much crap I found down inside the console when I was cleaning out the previous owner's scunge, so I made the boot to keep that crap out.

Also, my camera is still a potato, but it's a slightly better potato so I finally snapped a shot with my custom HUD + compass + DIY scangauge setup:



The HUD is the digital display in the upper left (0 mph, as it should be in my garage, and the vertical dash is the compass indicating East), while the MPG + voltage + temps is the off-color square in the bottom right, below the radio HU.

The TFT screen I used for the bottom left isn't bright enough, so I'm going to replace that with an OLED at some point, or change the whole setup to use a headless unit that talks to a Nexus 7 or something. Fun stuff to play with.
