What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine was just a quick job.

 

What did you change out?

 

Left mine sitting in full sun and the bedside graphics peeled right off, absolutely no adhesive residue left behind other than the outline.
Then I applied these made by CBoy808.

 

SR Bezel. Gets rid of the chrome ring on the 18 grilles.

 

Super easy. I'll find the thread I followed and pm it to you. I think 20 minutes tops.

 

Brought home some explosive
Happy 4th

 

Enjoy but be careful.

 

Just got back to the house.
A few streets over in a cul-de-sac neighbors, about 80+ people get together, have Mex street tacos and bean soup catered and then the most amazing fireworks display all tuned to music. Best part you can sit about 30 ft away.
Always liked this meme.
Happy 4th.
Especially the vets and the ones that put it on the line for our freedoms. Can never be repaid, only greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

Drove her around for a bit today. Cornering did get softer but not dangerously scary. but I’m sure if someone removed the swaybars without telling me then I wouldn’t have known the difference.

 

Installed my McNeil fenders today

 

I installed two new 6x9 speakers to replace the cheap factory units, in my SR.
Pioneer TS-G690 from Crutchfield...Now I'm going to replace the rear speakers with a pair of Kicker 43CSC674s.
These are by no means High end speakers, but they sure make a big difference. Even to these old messed up Sapper's ears.

 

That looks sweet. Have you had anyone give you a quote to paint match them yet?

 

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this, haven't been on in a while.
I installed Infinity Reference 6x9 components in the front and 6.5s in the back a few months ago which made a HUGE difference.
I immediately noticed the amp. So much more thump to the speakers. I'm so glad I did it because I contemplated not doing it for a while.
You have to adjust the gain down to about 25% though if you're using speaker level inputs. I had left mine in stock location (50% or so) and it was insanely loud and didn't sound good at all.
I just have it sitting in the dash behind/under the stereo. It was a tight fit with all the wires, but its just about perfect.

 

Sported a little Red, White, and Blue for 4th of July:

 

Looks great. Would you mind sharing some info about how you added the tracks/rack to your Diamondback in this thread?: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diamondback-modification-thread.553966/

 

No quotes yet. Just going to paint them myself don’t want to spend money and destroy them with a good paint job. Got a paint shop that sells oem spray cans and looks good. I’ve done it a couple of times on my cars... it’s all about the prep work

 

Was at my Dads and couldn’t resist getting a few pics

 

Funny enough, we were just sitting around last night talking about how we should hook the buttons up to sound effects and seat rumblers. lol. The buttons are fully functional. But for the time being, I think we're going to wire them up to control different accessories/exterior lights.
