What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can't do it while driving. Disables some options when the vehicle is in motion

 

That grill looks about as nice as Iv'e seen. Well done!

 

Pinktaco best name on here

 

That's looks great!!

 

You can order them direct from smittybilt.

 

IMHO, if you are on-line, there is no point whatsoever in blacking out one's license plate number. It's silly to think that you are preserving your privacy by doing so. As you point out, they are visible to everyone, every day, by design.

Ordered my 5100 with ome 885 springs and rear aal, my question is what degree of shim have you guys used......I don't have time to crawl underneath nor do I have a pinion angle guage.......the rear aal should give my around 1.5 to 2 inches of lift,

 

so you just added 1" spacers to all 4 bolts?

 

No so much today but, took delivery (DCLB Sport 4x4 V6 Inferno) Tuesday. Since then, I've installed door sill protectors, removed the TRD decals, had the front windows tinted, ordered the weathertech mudguards, and ordered all the supplies to paint the chrome grill bezel Inferno.

 

Probably going to debadge her this weekend... both the TACOMA and the LIMITED badging.

 

The main reason to do this is that thieves will get your address from your plate number. Then they know what you have done to your car / truck and no a lot of info about it from stalking you online.

I not sure if it happens that much anymore but coming from the Honda community it is defiantly and way to keep the internet thieves from tracking you.

 

Just going to leave this here: DPPA

 

Ugh I have been waiting on this exact truck "black trd off road 4 door MT" since November supposedly it's being built this week.

 

naaah.

First off you can't get personal info from plates anymore. Secondly, theres far more info people put from all their media streams that reveal their locations etc. Someone isnt looking at your truck in nevada thinking if I could just find his address from his plate in Oregon i'd go steal his truck. It's the guy driving in Oregon that follows you and steals it.

The blurry plate thing is just paranoia, plain and simple. However if it makes you feel better about the validation one seeks by posting their car or build online then cool. Lets all remember what this is about. validation by peer groups. no other way to shake a stick at it. If people werent so concerned what others thought or to impress them and they left their truck, dirtbike, dog, house, food offline it wouldnt be an issue. We're all here for it, so it's no big deal.

 

Installed an avs bug deflector ii and installed avs window vents even though it was a balmy 27 degrees out. I personally like the look of the in channel visors better but for functionality I like the exterior mounted vents better especially being a smoker.

 

Everytime it rains I wish I had them. But then it stops raining and I forget to even check the pricing.

I smoke too, unfortunately, and loved them on my wife's old car.

 

I got them at a local truck accessory shop for $43. Got the bug deflector for $60. They had both within 2 days. Worth every penny.

 

2/1 lift, Fuel D556's 18X9, Nitto 285/65-18 G2's.

 

This looks great! very clean. I probably love it because it looks a lot like my old 2nd gen. What lift did you do?

 

Thanks. I just did a spacer lift.
