What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

YES! I like the old style too! When I ordered, about 14 months ago, they still had round buckets left and built mine with them.

They'll do the same for you, assuming there is still an inventory of buckets still in stock.

Nice! I’ll have to give them a call when I’m ready to go. Just gotta bang out a bunch of maintenance stuff first. Thank you for your reply!!
 
When did you order that Shrockworks bumper? It looks like it came with the round fog/off-road light holes rather than the new square ones they show on their website now.
I’m a HUGE fan of their original/old style with round openings but I just don’t like the new square ones at all and I think it’s going to steer me away from that bumper altogether unfortunately.

Just call them. They'll probably modify it for you.
 
Body work today! Finally got rid of that damaged/rusted/bondo'd fender, replacing it with a junkyard unit. Came out pretty good!





Still need to paint the flares, but that's a battle for another day.

Also started a way-too-complicated project of adding some digital gauges to the "passenger" space on my dash. The plan is to cut out the "passenger" section, put in a piece of dark plastic behind it, then mount a digital voltmeter and outside temp gauge behind them.

Here are some teasers:

Switch assembly before:



Switch assembly with "passenger" cut out:



Donor plastic (courtesy of a Lexus dashboard piece):



Cut to shape:



Installed:



Now to fabricate a mounting bracket for the digital meters.
 
I went ahead and changed out the spark plugs(OEM) ,wires(NGK), pcv valve and grommet ,and changed out a boot from a coil. The boot had electrical tape wrapped around it not sure why? It was only like 5 bucks to replace ...Pretty much the reason why I changed it.

Pcv valve and grommet was a PITA to remove I seriously think it’s never been changed out since new... I should’ve read on the forum for “technique” would’ve saved me a headache and an hour of fishing for grommet pieces.

Took a few hours of solo work. She’s snug and sucking in nice cool and clean air!!! If anyone in SoCal wants help putting one on please let me know! It’s not as difficult as you might think!

Happy Trails!

Fixed my key fob issues just had to reprogram it. On the plus side now I have two key fobs and I can return the junction box I got and get the $250 back! But now I have to put that towards my rack an pinion...
 
Well I just got all this in the mail for my T4R. Anyone know what I will be doing this weekend?

Nice! You'll enjoy it! It was a fun project myself. I'm still deciding what horns I want. may just add a train horn for fun. Just don't know where I'd put it haha
 
Got my cv boot fixed and suspension worked on. Took my truck to get aligned at Firestone and this happens. I am not sure who it was or is to blame but I am just in awe why or how could this happen? Literally less than 50 miles on the work? I almost flipped coming off the off ramp. Anybody have any ideas how this could happen?

Looks like the tie rod end didn't get fully seated in the knuckle
