What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This weeks Mods were expensive!

 

Just curious what the cost on these might be. I think I may look into some. Those look great!

 

If you watch the on-line video instructions you see that only about 6-8 inches need be protected around the emblem. Any overspray beyond that just rubs right off. Im not criticizing the effort, just lettting prospective emblem Detpers know how little overspray protection is really needed.

$499-599 for in stock dblcab leather sets. Custom colors and graphics can run a couple hundred more. Believe there's a TW discount so check with Clazzio if you order online. I did my Accesscab with custom color combination for $349 with a discount because there's only the 2 seats. Wait time for custom orders is 8-12 weeks. http://www.clazzio.com/car-leather-kits.php

 

If you're going to off road in the rocks you need some sliders and skids. . Like the tires. Rubbing at all? Common lore on here is biggest we can run with no rubbing or trimming is 265/75/16.

 

No problem, didn't mean for it to sound that way. Just letting them know I have OCD when it comes to my vehicles and would overdo it too. Good video.

 

Yeah cracked the bezel and the back plastic piece that holds it all together. And the local dealer had a bezel in Stock haha. Oh well. I'm working on painting the horizontal bar through the middle to match the 202 black and sheen of the body paint. Should be finished Tuesday.

 

Thanks. Now to convince the wife.

 

The discount is something like 15% and the code is "TacomaWorld"

 

SSO Slimline Hybrid Bumper went on today and about 2 weeks ago I was able to install my lift of OME 9000's and 886's with LR UCA's and Dakars for the back! I didnt take measurements but looks to be between 2-3" total lift and plenty of support for extra weight. Bed rack and RTT will be coming in soon.

Now I need to wear out these tires so I can justify moving up to 285's.

 

Brought home a new toy!

I finally got around to puttin the led's on the license plate area, map lights, vanity lights, and dome lights. The only reason I'm posting about it is because I had a hard time removing both the map lights and the license plate lights.

So after a bit of research I found two ways to replace the map lights one is to supposedly remove them using tape and the second way, which worked for me was to unclip the whole overhead console and remove them from the back. I have a 2017 so I don't know if that's why they were tighter but their was no way to remove those with tape.

For the license plate there's also two options one is to push the ears in from the back of the bumper and then pop the whole thing out and the second option which I used was to get under there and turn the bulb counterclockwise and boom that's it.

I attached a few pictures hope it helps those who are struggling with this.

 

That's all fine and dandy until you have to go up a steep hill or driveway.

 

I used a rubber hose to squeeze around the map lights and pull them out like a plunger. It was super easy. I don't remember the size of the tubing, but it was quick and painless even when the led went in backwards and I had to switch polarity.

 

This is a super cheap solution to move the kayak around and I'm in insanely flat Florida so I'm not concerned although you're right. This wouldn't be great for super long trips or mountaineous areas but I think it should work for what I need

 

Don't worry, it will peel right off

 

Touché. Just made me laugh imagining that thing digging in like an auger. That's probably the only way to get that around without a roof rack or headache rack. Your truck looks great btw.

 

My idea was similar. I rolled a tube of duct tape sticky side in slightly larger than bulbs. Slipped it over and pushed on side with small screwdriver to make good contact. Pulled right out. I'll try the tubing next time. Great idea.

 

What wheels are these? They look great!

 

No rubbing... A few very minor rubs after 4,000 miles when reversing quickly in full lock and hitting a bump, and when offroading turning hitting a bump at a relatively high speed. But they seriously look like they should be the stock tires. Fit perfectly. So a few minor rubs here and there are more than worth it.

Thinking about getting some sliders... I'm not big into rock crawling though. Only the less aggressive stuff.
