What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tbh i just left them all out. It clipped in really snug, grille isnt going anywhere. I also did it at night so i may take a look at it this weekend to see if i can put some of them back in.

 

I think you can cut it if you have a good saw and accurate unlike me. lol

 

Did this:



The chrome piece pops right out. No glue or anything. It looks as a lot better just like this. I'm just thinking / looking for something that would stick on there. It is 2 7/16in diameter and just slightly convex.

I asked a sticker maker. They thought that the holes and embossing would show through typical vinyl.

 

Icon Stage 3 kit - 2"
KMC XD301 - 17x8.5
BFG KO2 265/70/17

 

There is thread somewhere that I couldn't find but they used these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SURIG74/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I31HISFZLQ2RXL&colid=26W62MC83F8OA
I was thinking about doing those when I do this. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trd-or-wheel-vinyl.504412/

 

Thanks! Those stickers would almost be the ticket. I'd prefer it if they were blank. Tried searching with no luck.

That is a surprising difference with the wheel vinyl. The less shiny parts, the better.

 

Ordered these....(Bumper, not the truck..)

 

Wouldn't it be better for a car to hit the plastic bumper, tailgate, etc instead of all of the force going right to the frame? Body panels can be replaced, frame damage is killer.

 

.........man you just had to ruin that mod for that poor guy. True though and then you wouldn't be able to justify the plate bumper........when it happens

 

I totally agree. I bought a beaver step and never used it. If someone hits me in the rear I will be on the internet ordering a plate bumper before the insurance adjuster shows up.

 

This is exactly what happened to my truck which ended up totaling it because of frame damage. I got rear ended with my camper in tow and the force of the impact on the tow package destroyed my frame in the rear. Absolutely no damage on the tailgate or even the bumper! It did am save me from getting injured though.

 

I've got a similar one but if the frame bends before it does then it's an awful weak frame. Someone hitting you while towing a trailer with a big frame is a little different.

 

Locked & loaded

 

Good point. i get your logic. Just watch your shins!!!!!

 

.......now squeeze the trigger like your squeezing your girlfriend/wife nipples. (As the ole drill sergeant use to say) And firer's watch your lane!

 

Drove around like this today to see how the Sport/PRO owners cope with their hood scoops.
I’ll stick with my OR and normal hood.

 

I have successfully installed my RRW Baja Stealth front bumper (kinda wanna sell... and buy one with a winch mount) I have also installed my new "Taco Grill". Wish I had pictures but ive had my 17" Method Double standards, 285/75/17 KO2s, TC UCA, and OME Leaf Pack sitting in my living room the past week waiting for my king coil overs to arrive (roommate is a little upset).....



Also did a de-badge and pinstripe delete...

 

More bling bolt on today. New 42” HiLift jack.

 

I posted it here for the first time.
