What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this set up appears to be charging my phone faster than the factory usb port. Is it because there's more power going to the cig lighter?

 

Custom painted inserts with white carbon fiber reflector with TRD cut out and Switchback halos!

 

Finally Got my Smittybilt X20 Synthetic winch installed and SDHQ behind the grill dual light bar installed, had to get creative to get it in with the SSO winch bumper with hoop. I have an Baja Design S8 30" and for now a Auxbeam Xseries amber! Yes those are XL80's on the pillars

 

I see that you're a purist and prefers not to cut into the factory setup. I was too, but the mod bugs keeps biting me...lol. I thought about putting some AC power there but that will require more cutting and trimming.

 

Yep. The USB aux plug was not intended for charging, it was intended for data transfer

 

Use step drill bit. Makes it easy

 

Who did those?

 

I did

 

I took my 3rd Gen Wheelin in Dirty Jerzee today (Wharton state forest) and aquired a few pin stripe mods

 

Very nice work..

 

That's a good looking 3rd gen

 

Before
After


Don’t think I have ever commented on it before but,.... what a POS the factory lug wrench is! Did they have a bunch of leftover Corolla lug wrenches laying around and figured they would throw them in our trucks?!

 

I've had mine for about a year now... No problems thus far. Great lights!

 

And we got the "heavy duty" model with our truck. Probably the same vendor that provided the speakers, I mean, the high quality premium speakers like I had in my 1970 Olds Cutlass dash.

 

It's kinda really only meant for emergency situations, and for that it works just fine. I don't think it was Toyota's intent to fill it's customer's tool box with daily use tools.. this is my 4th tacoma and never had an issue with the lug wrench nor noticed it ever being insufficient for its intended purpose

 

After cutting the crap out of my 09! I vowed to not try to touch my16!

 

Looks great! I agree about the factory lug wrench. I picked up a 1/2" drive 2' long breaker bar at harbor freight for under 20 bucks. Works great.

 

.. Nice!

 

Well that's great and likely the choice I would have made too

 

That looks great!!

I’m super stoked you were able to use it!
