What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Loaded up truck with 3 days of essentials just in case.........getting a bit sporty down here in Texas

 

Ok. I appreciate the info. Will you send pics once you have it mounted.

 

Good luck down there! Hope you don't run into a trouble. That storm looks nasty.

 

Swapping out my 2017 sport headlights for TRD pro's, having trouble finding the link for headlight assembly removal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

This may help.

 

Thanks!

 

New wheels and rubber yesterday and alignment just finished.

Yes...that would be them.

 

Several small mods today:
1. Morimoto HID bulbs (plan to check them out tonight)
2. Soldered top light bar wire and tucked wire along windshield
3. New decal (thanks @ruggedT !)

 

Switched out to color matched bumper caps.

Thanks @dawgstoy

 

Installed my TRD aluminum skid guard. I think these guards get a bad rap. They are way more robust than the stock TRD Off-Road tin "splash guards". The other difference is they bolt right to the structure of the front frame and bumper components with stand-offs and welded nuts as opposed to the stock splash guards that mount to small threaded tabs on the undercarriage. I would argue the TRD skid guard probably increases the strength of the whole front end by a small amount based on how it mounts.

Anyways.......I'm sure it doesn't compare to a 1/4 steel guard, but it is certainly worlds better than what came stock on my TRD OR.

I painted mine dark machinery grey to tone it down a little.

 

Well added the TRD pro skid plate. Really looked at other skid plates but for an aluminum plate, it's not really that much more than other after market (RCI... etc) skid plates (especially with shipping). I think it looks nice too and of course, was designed for this truck. A bit of a pain to put in but half the fun is figuring out what bolts to remove. Only hard part was holding it in place by myself. While I was down there I noticed those tiny little stock Bilstein shocks. How they don't snap like twigs amazes me.

Also, added the covercraft sunshade. Spendy but the fit is worth it.

I love my truck!!!!!!

 

Where did you get it? Looks great!

 

hey youre in sactown too! make me set of sliders, these look great!

 

$25 worth of plasti dip on stock steel wheels

 

SR fog light mod

 

Looks good, how long did it take you and how did you do the switch?

 

It's s standard Toyota part you can order at the dealer. You can also buy it online. It comes stock on the TRD Pro. It ain't cheap, but is nicely made. Comes in light grey powder coat. Has access door for oil changes.

Google "Tacoma TRD Aluminum skidplate"
