What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Your bed don't get dusty inside without the tailgate seal?

 

Yeah, when on dirt/mud you do get some dirt in the rear of the bed for sure. In the end, I still have my seal in the package and haven't installed despite this. May change my tune at some point, but for now I think I prefer the bed being able to drain easily from spills, washes, etc., - also have a friend who put the seal on and when hauling stuff in the rain, it allows water to puddle without the tailgate down.

 

I got ya! I have the TruXedo Lo Pro on my bed and I do have the tailgate seal on, I notice some water polling between the drain holes and the front of the bed but I have the bed mat in mine so it stays dry on top of it. I have openings at all 4 corners of my tonneau that water gets in when I wash my truck by hand. Had I have known about those openings I would of bought a Undercover Elite or SE. Just tried to save a little and bought the roll up. It looks nice on the truck but I won't own another one.

Hey if you put your tailgate seal on, put the bottom seal on upside down as shown in the above link.

 

Do you have the issue at the rear of the bed with the LoPro not exactly low? Seems like the rail caps need to be trimmed.

 

anyone think 265/70/17's are too small to get the bilstein lift on this truck? would this wheel/tire combo look too small?

 

New wheels, 17x9 rotiform - six 17x9 +1, k02 275/70

 

I just ordered the same size tires, also wondering if they will be small once a Bilstein lift is added.

 

I thought they would look too small too.. so I put 275/70 on. I think they're ~0.5 smaller than 33's and less of a headache on rubbing stuff IMO. Could hardly notice when compared next to 33's...

 

So you don't experience any issues or rubbing with 275/70/17's?

 

Crab snare. Easy to make yourself. There are a few vids on YouTube

 

Some observations after going through every post in this thread (yes, I have been through every single one and continue to go through it as it is updated:

-Some of you have absolutely god-awful tastes in customization. But, to each their own, it is what makes this place great, seeing what other people like even if I think it is absolutely hideous.
-Some of you are a little too obsessed with security (maybe overly paranoid) my god, its a vehicle and you pay for insurance for a reason!
-BBP is still the best color
-Toyota must not have sold very many long beds.

That is all for now!

 

I knew I'd find you in here.

Great job on that video again. I was a little too early to party and it wouldn't load properly for me last night.

 

Oh, this is too good to not respond to.

- All Tacomas of all gens are beautiful: chromed, murdered out, lifted, dropped, or even derped to death - speak no evil here. I shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

- Security needs vary by region. You're in Nebraska. You're not likely to get carjacked by a cow, even if they can use push start.

- 100% agree with you! #BBPmafia

- Every AC comes with a long bed. It's the DCLBs that are rare because #mysteryreasons. And yeah, they make you wait FOREVER for a DCLB.

 

I do sometimes at certain angles such as turning right up into an elevated steep driveway... but its rare. I'm almost certain leveling out the front should remedy it which I'm putting in tomorrow with 6112's. Also, I've been mostly doing city driving & the few times I've taken it on dirt roads, I haven't experienced any rubbing. I'm sure it will if I go more extreme though. I don't have mudflaps or the front air dam. Also might depend on your wheel offset and etc. Hope this helps.

 

Got my aux fuse panel back from powder coating, time to install! More details to follow

 

Where did you get the light guards? Been looking for some! Looks good

 

Got my prinsu design toprac installed on my ARE V-series

 

Best cover on the market, I have the same one. You are right about the cleats, I had to make some low profile ones. An Eye Bolt with a washer and nut on one side and a t-slot nut in the rail. They do the job well.

 

Im curious to know what you did to lift the rear almost 3". What was the lift exactly at?

 

You make that yourself? Looks good, looking forward to details...
