What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[kolelt]

On my third set of wheel bearings. ( off road life/mud/water)

Both sides got replaced with koyo wheel bearings and OEM seals.
Installed fog lights on my savage bumper.
Wired in a led strip for rear hatch.
Replaced my red top optima ( about Year old) it died on me. Just wouldn’t charge anymore. Could be because it’s extremely cold in NJ. So I got a yellow top. Just paid the difference $40.

Okay - I can see now that the display isn't showing frequencies.
Thanks for the reply.

What’s fIA?

 

[octanejunkie]

What’s fIA?

f = fahrenheit

IA = intake air

Nice find! I’d flush the new cooler with just clean ATF.

Good suggestion, thanks! It was fully connected with the donor tranny, so likely to be fairly clean. I know I'm being lazy and can answer this with some research, but does the external cooler go before or after the one built into the radiator?

The postman brought me a special delivery today. Now I all I need to do is wait for my package from TRS.

PSA: Don't do an oil change when it's 8*F or anywhere in that temp range. It's just not worth it, especially if you want to keep your toes.





....Did an oil change today when it was 8* F .

Raptor Liner

It is hard to get a good picture in direct sunlight as this is reflects light weird. It came out so even and soooo black. Looks great and could not be any happier.

Ordered a couple block heaters. Goddamn is it cold around here.

Ironically, I was on the phone to K&C foreign auto parts in Rockville, MN last week to order some parts for my 'runner. The guy I was speaking with told me that it was -16° that morning. I suddenly felt ashamed for complaining about the 21° we had in Baltimore.

Thanks. And this is important because ? I have a rear view mirror with a outside temp gauge. And when I selected the fIA setting on scangauge. It was almost identical. Good way to know the outside temp without a outside gauge lol

That dude is great. That’s were I got my tundra springs and LC springs. He has a sweet Darrel Waltrip edition tundra

Finially got the stock bumper installed. I had to replace all the mounting hardware and get some new brackets. Fortunately the previous owner covered the bracket mounting bolts with anti seize!

Hit the local Pick Your Part for the famous 40% off New Year's Sale (what a zoo). Good haul for $45 - two heated rearview mirrors, a trailer hitch harness and mount, a tranny cooler from a big ass ford truck, and a set of Fiamm horns from another big ass truck.

Any thoughts on installing a used tranny cooler? Seems like it's pretty straightforward, just flush it with some solvent and call it good?

I'll also take and post some sound clips of the original horns, the Hella Sharptones I bought and am considering to install, and these Fiamm units.

Where do you go for these parts? My local junkyard in Orange County never has T4R vehicles.

I took the time to properly aim my headlights, fog lights and driving lights. Not hard to do but the process is a PITA when it's 5 degrees out haha!

Pretty happy with the result considering, but I might need to adjust it a tad bit later. We will see.

They do!! There are two LKQ locations in Orange County near Disneyland - one in Anaheim, one in Stanton. And best of all, you can check their car inventory online! Here's Anaheim, half dozen 3rd gen's - https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/LKQ_Pick_Your_Part_-_Anaheim-265/recents/

But no fair going and getting parts that *I* was going to get, deal?

The ones above I got at the Wilmington yard.

What a happy New Year so far! Drove my dad and daughter to the airport and on the way back was able to get above 65 on the freeway (no small feat in LA), and guess what???????? No more steering wheel shimmy!! The updated rack guide did the trick. Holy moly, I'm in heaven!

Started the new year off right by taking the rig out for a little fun

Returned at about 3:30am from a road trip from WA to CA
