What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just a simple detail inside and out.

 

After blacking out those rims yeaterday I can't even make eye contact with the chrome rims!! Haha

It looks great. Mine needs a good buff!

 

I have about another 10k miles left on the tires. Then I’ll probably go aftermarket rims. Really thinking of going with a bronze.

 

Added Rigid Industries Rock Lights, with Ti hardware, under the hood. Tucked the wires into the hood. Gonna' figure out routing the Passenger Side once this heat wave subsides. Because the wiring is"clocked", I had to do a little mod to the rubber base so the Passenger Side would match the drivers side properly. Did this all, in the driveway, and it was 109 degrees outside. No bueno.
I still have four more...leaving me the option to go full douchegbag mall crawler.

 

Washed the truck and swapped in my spare K&N air filter this weekend (I have 2 that I rotate while one is getting cleaned). Also spent some time doing a much needed retune on the VX700/5i in the truck. This is the 4th time I've retuned these Focal's in 1.5 years. Have the frequencies dialed by now, but they continue to break-in and were super overpowering the sub by this point. It's bliss in there again now, hopefully was the last time I'll have to do so.

 

Finally got around to doing the Qi charger replacement. Now I need to figure out how the button is wired because pressing it still turns the light on.

 

Looking at picking up a set of the Trailhunter OEM bronze wheels for my Barcelona Red when I need tires, glad someone else is a fan of bronze

Replaced the front brake pads & rotors with OEM stuff on my 2016 DCLB yesterday. Reminder that some dealership online parts centers (like Olathe Toyota) offer wayyyy discounted OEM parts!

 

I also did my brakes and rotors, ha. Knocked them out this morning. Still need to bed them in though.



Out with the old, ha.

 

What did you use to bleed the brake system after the replacement?

 

Haha my old pads looks about the same!

 

I didn't bleed them. I didn't open the brake system. Just new pads and rotors.

 

Gamehenge: Dreams of a functional garage. My wife's car stays in one. The other has been a giant, but organized, pile since we bought this fixer upper 4+ years ago. Also no bueno. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. She said, once we finish the master bathroom (which I took down to the studs...including the floor), I can finish my garage. So, a mini split may be on the future menu. Especially if I store my RC collection out there.

 

Heatwave hopefully will subside in October. Lol I have a lot to do, but I sweat enough at work. 90% outside. Yay

 

Installed a tailgate mat from Amazon. Not bad for 30 bucks. Quality is actually good for Chinese made.

 

Had 10K mile service with weld spatter recall done today. Spent very close to 2 hours at the dealership. There were 2 of the 8 bolts that had weld spatter on them and were replaced. I will now be doing oil changes in between the 10k factory oil changes.

 

Both of which requires faith and lots of patience

 

Wash and wax

 

After recently swapping the grill (@customcargrills) , I added the small matching pieces near head and fog lights.
Take it easy with the drill near the headlights !
