What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good, but I would have just bought new wheels for $540 that sounds pretty steep for powder coat. You can get a set of Level 8 MK6 with lugs for that much.

 

Yes! I love this. I did mine too, one of the first things actually. I like the grill honestly.

I was thinking of making myself one. Now I know that someone has already done the work.......

 

There is a no drill version as well https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...rill-license-plate-bracket-40-shipped.474111/

 

I already have holes (sad face)

 

I hear what you are saying. I went that route on my 2009 DC and regretted it. Bad experience with trying to balance after market wheels. Could not get them right after numerous attempts. Decided to stick with Factory wheels this time,,,, smooth as silk driving down the road.

 

I gotcha Sticking with hub-centric is key with any aftermarket wheel on these trucks. The two sets of SCS wheels that I've owned have never produced any problems with balancing. They are more than $500 though lol

 

From a couple days ago; Cali raised 32" combo spot/flood and oem switch.
Still need to fine tune the aiming but it is a super clean install and bright AF. The only thing I would change on their YouTube install video is to leave the passenger side bracket off until the light bar is down roughly in place(in the video they just skip to where the bar is already in there). It was getting dark on me and I was becoming mosquito bait so maybe I was missing the right angle but my neighbors most likely heard some colorful four letter words until I tried it without one of the brackets in the way. Lol

 

New shoes! Now to just put miles on this thing. I'm done building, I swear.

 

those wheels.....

 

How am iI suppose to keep up when you guys keep adding to this thread

 

Got home late, but had enough time to slap this in:

 

HA! it has its perks

 

Did you have to drill into the sides to install these? notice a difference in driving?

 

So I took my car to the self car wash only to find after rinsing it off that they were out of @#$& soap, spot free rinse, and everything else other than just water...AND I had left my microfiber towels at home... Had to go home, water had already dried, and wait until the next day before I could wash it again. Meanwhile my entire car got covered in hard water spots. Surprisingly, I got most of them out though and did a full wash/polish/wax myself using
opti rinseless wash, Adams revive hand polish, meguires ult. wax. The hand polisher I think did pretty well! I could still see a little of the etching on it where the bigger spot had sat and dried, but I'm back to a mirror finish without a machine polisher!

 

like those method rims - how much did they run?

 

Looking good!

 

hahah ya same here man took forever to get that light bar down there and screwed in...thought i had the wrong size at one point..lol tried some many angles as well and watch vid over and over was like wtf hahah then idk/rmbr what happened or what i did but got it in there after a looooong while....
