What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The Hondo knobs, one of the better mods I did at least for being practical. Hated those tiny stock knobs.

 

I'm going to finish the shifter surround once I get a little more 3m vinyl, but other than that I like 3m vinyl products a lot, not gonna say it was easy but 3m vinyl made it possible, would have been without that stuff

 

Diamondback is coming out with black hinges...they may even be available now. You might check with them.

 

Truck took me shopping to get the stuff, then I did this:

 

Installed a TRD Pro grill today and a 20 inch light bar behind it. I bought the parts to also install some led strip lights under the hood and inside the lid of my toolbox. I will get those mounted up the next chance I have

 

Went to visit a friend, saw this outside, had to take this pic!

 

Very nice!

 

Very nice!

 

Please post pics of wheels!

 

What rack is this? Looks good

 

Installed a diamondback bed cover. Ez install, love this thing.

Boom, I did lots of stuff.....

30" SR Pro Rigid Driving light bar on @ragofabrication hidden mounts.
Set of Rigid Dually Side Shooter lights on @ragofabrication ditch brackets
Switch Panel in useless Cubby left of wheel from @CaliRaisedLed
Rocker Switches from CH4X4
OME Heavy duty lift kit (886 Coils, with Heavy rear leafs) from Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road
(5) SR8's in Dark Bronze from @SCSPerformance
(5) 255 85 R16 Cooper ST Maxx tires

I actually wanted to do more but just plain ran out of time. The lighting install is SUPER clean I will add a picture later of the switch panel, switches are wired off a lighting fuse so they are illuminated when the trucks lights are on, Relays are Temporarily mounted to the two screw holes on the drivers side under the hood, because I'm a dope and didn't think about it, I ordered the Relay holder from Rago yesterday and as soon as that comes in they will be mounted up properly. Switches are cool, look very factory, color and style, plus they have a picture of a Tacoma with a picture of the light in the appropriate locations.

The lights on got from Jake at Battle Born Offroad, they are freaking INSANE, I realize a lot of guys on here love Baja, truthfully I have no experience with them, but these Rigid lights... Words can't describe, these are the PRO lights with 111% more output and bla bla bla... I can't speak to there claims but I can tell you for a Single Row 30" with a combo pattern (driving model) they literally insane, I pulled to the edge of my front yard at around 11PM tonight and turned them on, my yard is exactly 500ft wide and the far side of the yard looks like it's daylight. The Dually Side Shooters are also the brighter "driving" model and don't go nearly as far as the 30' SR but still are nuts, plus they are designed to light up the sides and front, the two lights working in concert are amazing, they make me want to drive like a Baja 1000 champion haha.

Lift kit was SUPER easy to install, did the entire thing including mounting all 4 tires in just about 2 hours total. To be fair I sort of cheated and enlisted 2 mechanic buddies of mine, and used one of there actual lifts and bays. Doesn't hurt to have 50K worth of tools at your disposal either. It really was super easy to do , I'm sure with a Jack it would be slower but still very easy to complete. Oh and I was "nervous" that the truck would ride like SHIT with the heaviest suspension on it and none of the added weight (Decked Drawers, Winch, or GFC) on it yet, but no, to me it rides great, feels a bit more "trucky" which I prefer (Don't tell consumer reports!!!)

Love the look of the SCS Rims and Cooper tires, Super glad I went tall and narrow for my tire choice I really love the look. and I think they will dig in a little better when I need them too.

Anyway I just wanted to share my joy.

You can just tuck the excess material behind the plastic trim so that it doesn't cover anything up. I'll send you a picture later once the sun comes up. I wouldn't worry about the instructions...they're seat covers and just slide over the seats. That's a good idea you have with the console cover.

 

I believe he said it was a Gobi rack.

 

Wow the Tacoma has grown a lot more that I realized!

 

Wind/air defusers I believe. It's design to keep the air moving in a straight line to cut down drag. Should have them around your side mirrors, air dam, behind rear wheels, and tail lights. If you stick your head out the window, you should put some on your forehead. Make sure you keep your tongue in as it defeats the purpose Lol! Congrats on your new taco. Let the mods begin!

 

You know you can make your dash lights and numbers change to that color through the menu options right?














































Just kidding.
Lots of detail there
