What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally suspension lifted with new Wheels and 285s. Did a little trimming...now on to do some CMCing.

Old Tire and Wheel combo will go up for sale. 19,000 miles on on them.

 

Very nice.
Those are the same wheels I have for my truck - waiting for tires to arrive.

 

Sorry if I missed it but what lift did you go with?

 

Well I haven' actually done it yet... but long story short, my two piece faux grill came with no center emblem and the seller is being a dickhole, so while I'm in the process of figuring that out I came up with an alternative...
First one would be a backlit orange Tacoma badge:

The second one would be a raised Tacoma truck emblem with two flush mount yellow LED pods:

The Tacoma one might be machined from all acrylic maybe or aluminum... the pod one would have to be aluminum.

What do y'all think?

 

Dang, that's one heck of stance! What are the details?

Also, where's your front bumber cover? lol Getting ready to install something else there?

 

What bed rack is that?

 

You're cool, I didn't mention it. Went with OME complete kit with SPC UCAs from HeadStrong Off Road. Also added Spidertrax spacers and had the alignment shop give me close to 3 for caster. Also changed the needle bearing to prevent any bad vibrations.

 

what about just a light bar in that space? - i would totally go for that!

 

Yeah I love 'em. Although I would have way more rubbing without the Spidetrax spacers. You may wish to get some. Oh and I had the alignment shop set my caster close to 3.

 

Anything different from everyone else is usually a good thing IMO. Those sound like good ideas to me.

 

Thanks to @PvilleJohn for the lower valance. Got it put on and blacked out the badging. Took the V6 badge off of the tailgate and put on my Gasshole! I ordered a set of Husky X-act liners for the front and back floors. Much needed as I live on a white dirt road with shell rock.

 

SOS Concepts bed rack. It's aluminum so nice and light. The Smittybilt defender rack weighs twice as much.

 

My first, but definitely not last, Meso mod...

 

Took off the chrome tube steps that came on my truck when new. They were over $500 on the window sticker. I'd take $250obo if close to the St Louis area. They are very stout and mount using existing mounting bolts. Can be installed in 10 minutes with a 13mm socket. Personally, I like the look without them, but I may trade for a set of those cast BLACK ones.

 

I vote for the backlit one.

 

Removed the chrome bumper plugs, installed some black plastic ones and the Tacoma lettering on the tailgate.

 

Where'd ya get the new bumper caps? My truck has the Prem/Tech pkg so it has the matching silver ones. but thinking the black ones would really look good. Yours look great!

 

RockAuto has them and thanks!

 

Am I the first to dechrome with blue?

Edit:
This is the link to the floor plate, folks have been asking where I got it.
