What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

First time posting on this thread so here we go. I just picked up my new truck on Monday morning. I got the windows tinted yesterday (Huper Optik 20% all around) because I hate the fishbowl effect and have driven my previous car with tints my whole driving career. Today I plastiderp'd the front grill and emblems in addition to installing a Ram Mount onto the dash for my phone (Universal X-Grip with a regular ball clamp and a diamond base secured with 30lb. 3M double stick tape.) I'm waiting on a buddy to come over for some beers and to install a Pop 'N Lock. That's it for tonight. Just waiting for AVS in-channel visors to come in tomorrow.

 

Pop off the trim and take it to a shermin-williams paint store and they can color match it

 

Well your on your way to spending thousands with all the mods you’ll find on here. Trust me I thought I bought a great truck until I saw all the trucks on here.

 

I've been lurking on the forums since before the 2016 came out. My research is done and I have a list of mods already. I'm going to try to keep the truck "stock" for now. I'll try to wait out at least a year before anything suspension/mechanical. The truck is capable of anything I'll want to throw at it within the next year. But the mod bug will slowly bite...

 

Are you and I the only ones that like these? Does it cover the hole for the spare tire mechanism? What brand and size please? I like it.

 

My bed mat keeps things dry when the little bit of water gets in. Not enough to cause any regrets getting mine.

Edit - +1 what @ToyoDrew said.

 

Oh, one other advantage of a rigid style tonneau cover (Bak X2 holds 400 lbs fyi) is that you have a place to put whatever you're carrying until you can open the door. Like Chipotle, groceries or even a case of your favorite brewskies.

 

I've been eyeing this.

 

Perfect. This is what I'll be doing!

 

i like the stance, nice truck. Can you put the specs on your suspension and wheels n tires? thank you

 

It depends on the light hitting it. It looks silver in some light and a light shade of gun metal in other light.

 

It's a Putco. I haven't measured to see what fits the Tacoma but you can get a 48" or 60". When I asked about it covering the hole, he said it didn't. Here is a link: http://www.putco.com/products.cfm?a...2d6710ce-ac71-ae13-9148-6292ef0a6bf7&Search=1

 

Exact same. 5100's on all 4 corners. 0.65 front settings. Dead level.

 

So many questions... Exactly what is it, where did you get it, and how much was it. I need to dust my instrument cluster, but microfiber just scratched the shit out of it. I've been meaning to pick up a can of compressed air, but I'm open to other suggestions.

 

I love my inferno, but man, that dessert sand takes a close second.

 

Yes, this question. I upgraded to the JBL system after my first Taco was totaled 8 days after I bought it. I think it sounds pretty good, but I wonder if I made the right decision, maybe I should have gone factory and upgraded the speakers, although I'm not sure the boss would let me upgrade the speakers either way.

 

That looks like a good looking jack for Harbor Freight. I will have to check them out. Did you get the add on warranty. I used to sell the crap out of those things. I watched some college (diesel tech program) kids buy one. They ran over it with a truck, came in to exchange it, I was like I don't know about that, they showed me the warranty paper work, and I said, "let me call up a new one". I told them, its a good thing you bought the idiot insurance, now tell me the real story, you're getting a new one either way, but this has to have a great story behind it. Needless to say alcohol was involved.

 

Everyone's ears are different, so if you like you're system, then yes, you made the right decision.

 

Got mine from the same shop! Johnny helped me out awesome guy congrats on your new ( and soon to be modded like mad?) truck

 

I had the standard speakers and my buddy has the JBL upgrade. I ended putting in Type-R door speakers and 2 Type-R 8's in the back behind the rear seat. keeping the stock deck with a line out converter supported by two amps under the driver and passenger seat. My buddy w/ the JBL likes my set up better. I use my truck for work driving long distances so loud music is a must and my stocks weren't cutting it. Mind you it was probably one the most expensive mods I did to my rig but I do not regret it at all, even with losing what little space I had behind the rear seats.
