What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Has anyone mounted their spare tire to the rails in the bed? Pics? Mounting hardware?

he does have one.

 

Here he comes to save the day! haha Thanks I normally see it in their tag so I didn't think he had one...

 

Yea Chadspride just hooked me up. Thanks though!

 

Thank you kind sir!

 

Lol at all this “Chinese is da devil!!!”... while driving a Japanese-Asian truck...

 

I just had some 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks installed with some American Outlaw Rims. I also have Bilstein 5100's in the front at the 3rd notch, and as of right now I have experienced no rubbing. Rides a lot smoother that I thought it would too!

 

But assembled in America-ish!!!!

 

Some of these guys would throw up if they really knew how many “American” products are outsourced to foreign countries...

 

Picked up my RAV4 mirrors and TRD PRO shift knob from dealer. Supposed to be getting one of the service guys bed mat too but he had a lot of stuff in the bed so another day for that.

Then off to second dealer for a 5k oil change. The service guy actually tried to get me to save my money and not bother but I explained to him I wanted it done now for my peace of mind.

I'll post pics of the mirrors once I can get home and install them. I'm pretty stoked about them as I hated the look of the stick on convex mirrors.

 

Sharp truck!

 

Got the 3" Predator Steps off of Craigslist and installed them today. Really easy install and I'm digging the look. Now the wife and the kiddo can jump in a bit easier.



My plasti-dip kit arrived as well so once it stops raining I'm gonna start playing with the fenders, wheels and chrome bumper covers. Fun first week with the Taco.

 

Let us know how the plasti-dip on the fenders and chrome bumper cover goes, I myself am considering that as well!

 

my favourite looking step bars nice.

Thank you!

 

Last few little projects, added a auxiliary fuseblock with 12 circuits with ground so I don’t have to stack up islets on the chassis bolts, but I still chassis ground the high draw stuff. Added ditch lights and some peripheral lights. Ran a cat 5 cable to the interior for switch triggered relays. All wires are bundled and wrapped in braided sleeving and connections sealed with marine 4:1 heat shrink tubing, connectors are also marine grade. Used SAE connectors in case I need to lift the tent and rack off the bed. I’ll also back feed those lights in a later project for camp site scene lighting off a deep cycle battery and PWM dimmer. Yesterday I installed an ARB compressor for onboard air. Just tapped into one of those switches I installed before, made my own wiring harness with 10g and bent some flat bar for a mount to take advantage of some factory studs behind the airbox. Pretty impressed with this little compressor, I might run a line to a remote air tank for a bit more capability. Also might run a small length of hose to the airbox from the compressor inlet behind the filter, utilize the vehicles air filter for the compressor and maybe get some cooler air that what’s available in the engine bay. I also added some tool mounts to my rack.

 

I'm coming to your house next time I need wiring done...

 

im sorry but those are not Predator steps. predator steps look like this...
