What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got the Alu Cab Explorer Canopy installed yesterday. Absolutely love it.


Stronger, lighter and more secure than the standard fiberglass ones. If you are looking at buying a new canopy it's kind of a no brainer in my opinion as the price difference isn't really that much.

 

Spend once done once !!
I have almost everything bought except wheels. Then it's a couple days on the rack ....and finished ! I like having it done all at one time

 

Cool- Getting them started tomorrow...

 

Not everywhere. I know you can't get that info in Texas or Florida unless you are law enforcement, possibly a lawyer (not sure). I have tried, unsuccessfully. I have also lived in both states. Not sure about the rest of them.

 

Probably wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. Fortunately most folks are smarter than that. For those that aren't I wouldn't recommend spinning that wheel. Really lousy odds!

 

Ahhhh the key is to not "piss" anyone off, or in my case ....just don't give a shit and always be prepared .
Probably the first is best ...as for meI'm working on it .

 

Here you go.

I have some friends that were cops that would run plates for me back in the day but problem is that if there’s a warrant out on the owner of the plates shit hits the fan pretty quick.

 

Got it installed but still have to do wiring for lights.

 

Nice grille man!

 

Redline tuning hood struts installed today. Easy 45 minutes. Couldn't pass up the group buy. It's the small stuff

I installed some Go Rhino Dominator D2 sidesteps and an Undercover Flex tonneau cover today. Parts are so inexpensive on these trucks, I want to buy everything I see!

 

Nice truck! Where'd you purchase your tonneau cover from if you don't mind sharing?

 

Did this the other weekend with @drr but painted and installed my SPC UCAs

Thanks! I got it from auto anything dot com. We wanted one ASAP so we bought it at their regular price. If you plan on buying anything from them, I recommend waiting until cyber Monday since they have huge discounts on most parts that day.

 

If you buy any thing from there you need to look up Mike @eccracer104
He may work there and can get possible discounts on many items. Some items not so much

Replaced my TRD Pro oiled air filter with the AFE dry, washable one that I bought on eBay.
Never liked oiled air filters.
Afe supposeably ~29% more airflow.

The other interesting thing. I was buying some wheels to switch out on my totaled 2016 MGM Tacoma TRD via Harvey and the guy who is retired had this moded 2017 Tacoma MGM Sport. I was like man I had the same color on my TRD but it didn’t sparkle and shine like his. I asked him what wax he uses. He said none. He only washes his truck with water and a micro fiber cloth. He said he has been rebuilding cars etc for years and when he has bought a new vehicle he says not to put anything on the clear coat.....he said because that is what the clear coat is for.....
So with my new 2017 QS....that’s what I have been doing so far....no wax etc.
It’s slick....and well looks amazing.
Anyone with similar experience or knowledge? Just curious.
I usually use Colinite wax....

 

If you don’t mind. What was the cost?

 

May I ask for a closeup picture (if you got one) of those step bars? I've bought the same, but haven't picked it up yet.
