What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[2TH4IST]

Swapped the printed circuit board on my cluster, replaced the prnd2l bulbs. Then did a quick dust wipe down. I seriously need to do a interior cleaning. Badly.

did you replace with stock bulb's or led's. i have a few burned out ones but not sure if I want to go led.

[MENTION=124615]3bears[/MENTION] I just used new toyota bulbs, incandescent. I tried generic 74 bulbs but they are bigger and the bases wouldn't fit in the cluster. I didn't run led's as they would be blindingly bright. Tried it in the miata.

Went out and ran a local trail, sugar pine mountain. Man I needed that, being on the trail out in nature was so nice. On top of that everything worked perfectly! The suspension is so nice and plush. It was just so darn nice, and the scenery was epic. Cold, damp, and rolling clouds. First time I had ever eaten lunch in a cloud!

Today I replaced the rear ashtray with a USB charger

I saw this video on youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YofOoVjST_A&t=100s and thought it would be a nice upgrade, but $40 bucks for the adaptor plate is just too much! it looks good and well made, but I think it is major overkill for the application. So I designed my own to be 3d printed! Here is the link to the files: Just a moment...

Do Eeet! I know there is no magic bullet for everlasting, maintenance-free anything, but I am really
crossing fingers & toes that these will hold up a good chunk longer than everything else I've tried...

Had a tree fall on it so that’s what I did to it

Fixed Squeaky Clutch Pedal

Clutch pedal was squeaking when I bought this 2000 SR5 Manual two days ago. I cleaned the pedal box, removed all the dirt & grime, and applied lithium grease to every hinge / moving part. Clutch pedal is not only silent now but feels much better

Wrong forum sorry.

Pulled the front coilovers to adjust the height. Had to mod the spring compressor a bit to clear the shock body. Damn it's difficult to compress 650lb springs! I turned the collet down 3/4" which equates to 1 inch of lift. Gave the drivers side an extra 1/8 to accommodate me in the seat. Drove the runner around for a bit. And took new measurements:

Front - 23" both sides
Rears - 24.25" both sides.

So an inch and a quarter higher in the back. I'm ok with that so far. If the lc80 springs don't hold weight (from what I heard, they don't) I'll toss in the C59-210v or ome 861

Haha!
I typically do the "vehicle-as-spring-compressor" move with good success,
but it's so much extra work! I really want to figure out how to make a safe
fixture for the 20T press to easily dis/reassemble the Dobbies...

 

[2TH4IST]

The car as a spring compressor works great for stock stuff. But I needed to take the pressure off the upper collar on the radflos so I could easily (by hand) screw in the collar. I too would like a adapter for coilovers for the press. I also have a resiviour hose to deal with too lol.

 

[3bears]

me too... I would love to use my 20 ton press to do shocks. In all my years I have used those stupid stick compressors and after the last one I said never again. This spring I am gonna refresh the front end and will use the rig to be the spring compressor....you know...lower the lower a arm and then jack it up b4 installing lbjs

 

[Jungoes]

Removed all control arms and was surprised when all the adjusters just fell out.. I got lucky..
Hoping to press the bushings out tomorrow

Yesterday I swapped out the lower ball joints on my 99 I bought a couple weeks ago. I’m enjoying getting it up to snuff!
