What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like the gold T

 

Are the fronts similar to stock height right now? Or did it raise it some, and your going to raise it more?

 

Hey Dapper Dave.

The front went up just over 2" and the back is up almost 3". The net effect is an amplification of the factory rake of an extra half inch. Very noticeable in pictures. I have come to the conclusion that pictures do not do lifts justice. They look so much better in person.

 

TRD Pro Cement?

I think this would look good on my truck.

WAR DAMN EAGLE!

 

Like the last 2. Very slick.

 

Definitely! But I was thinking about going with 18s and just was trying to figure out tire size. I don't have a lift (yet) but yours looks good and will look even better when you raise up the front!!

 

Thanks I am really happy with how it is coming together.

These tires would definetly rub all over the place on the stock suspension. The rims I used have -12 offset. I didn't go with massive tires because I intend to use this truck for more than just pavement detail. Anything bigger and I would need to be hacking and chopping to squeeze them in.

 

You should change the "T" of the TRD to the Orange Tenn "T"

 

Finally got my Cali Raised LED bar / Apex fab brackets installed. Also throwing up a picture of the factory aluminum running boards I installed. Other mods just include my husky Xact contours.

 

I'm a fan of the 3rd one and next the 4th one bease it looks cleaner. I'm not a fan of the "T", if they can't figure out what state is outline I doubt they'll be able to comprehend a letter. Looks good.

 

Started working on a front receiver for my receiver mounted winch.

Night pics of the blue backlit switch compared to the stock switches?

 

I'll grab one tomorrow for you. It's definitely a brighter light than the stockers though

 

Is that one of the switches with the dimmer circuit?

 

New to TW. How is everybody blacking out there front grilles? Paint or Plastidip?

 

Majority go with plastidip. Some go with paint or rhino lining in a can.

 

Yes it has two LEDs in it. (Hook up red wire 2 = it lights up with the dash lights).. (hook up red wire 1 = it lights up in the on/off position). I didn't feel like running a fuse tap ( I refuse to use a t connector) after I cut my finger open this morning with a razor blade while doing the install, so I left red wire 2 unhooked - so the switch only lights up when in the on position.

 

A few NEW, bad-ass additions to my TAC-TOY this weekend.

Added some black vinyl along the bottom and tailgate and installed an Expedition One Rangemax rear bumper.


Added some Rigid Industries IR (infrared) lights to the Expedition One Rangemax front bumper.

I pulled out my NVG (Night Vision Goggles) and I'm amazed at how well the lights work!

Last but certainly not least, drumroll please......

Fully custom Side By Customs roof racks!

Complete with Hi-Lift mount, 4 Rigid Industries Scene lights, 6 Rigid Industries Boat Deck lights (red), FOXPRO USA TruckPro digital game caller with four speakers, 2 Idleback Shooting chairs and a custom ladder that can be used on both sides as well as the rear!

 

Nice. I like that black trim on the bottom. I'm going to need to down a photo shop guy to see what it would look like on a silver tacoma. Keep up the good work.

 

Looks awesome.
