What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How did you attach the side in your truck?

 

Debaged original V6 & 4x4 and added new classic emblem after painting it. Thanks to the @therealmoondog for selling me the emblem.

 

Traded in the 16 and moved to a 18 access cab. Getting older maybe not do as much to this one . We will see ?

 

I think you mean slide? It is on a goose gear plate system.

 

Congrats on your new 2018 Taco!!
Please post some pics.

 

not rough. with magnets on paint its one of those inevitable things that happens over time. imo you are better with decals

 

That may be my favorite mod!

 

Finally installed my AVS vent shades, they've been sitting in the garage for over a month.

 

It is the bulletproof fab version. I had to hand grind clearance to get the d-ring to fit and swivel. Easy job on an aluminum skid pate.

 

Well after tons of peeps telling me to do it I finally bit the bullet and orderd a Spartan x customs combo drl/led bar for the hood scoop...he’s the man and I’m pretty stoked to roll with some of his tech in my taco.

 

Just a little update. I have officially dropped off my truck at Dirty Deeds Industries where it will be getting the NEW! 2016+ Toyota Tacoma Dual Exhaust System. I will be creating a new build thread as this prototype gets developed. My truck will be featured and it is a great honor to be able to work with Keith, owner of Dirty Deeds Industries, who has more than 20 years experience with modifying race cars and off-road race vehicles. I will be creating the thread right after I make this post, so please follow along as we document the progess of this build. It will also be a thread where questions are Welcome!

 

Details on the rear led flush mounts please

 

@Sean86

Is that plate in the back left corner coming in contact with the A-TRAC / abs controller and not sitting flat?

 

Project over the weekend. Took me way longer then i thought, mainly because i did everything from scratch.

-Rerouted starting batt to the passenger side using OGE’s Aux batt tray
-Mounted a group 31 batt i had lying around in the factory location using pelfreys cage
-Re-wired some old wires
-Mounted a solar panel on the Prinsu. I like the fact that the panel sits just below the load bar so I still can mount anything on top of it if needed.

 

This is insanity...you are a power and wiring guru my friend...wish I knew you...I have a bit of wiring clean up to do when I install my last light bar...kudos bud.

 

Thanks for the information. Plan on doing this also.

 

Will the price be “dirt cheap”?

 

Lol thanks, but I wouldn’t say that. I’ve done some research, that’s all.

 

I'm impressed. I'm pretty good at machining, fabricating and wrenching it's just a matter of having access to the right equipment but when it comes to electrical I'm almost totally inept . Always afraid I'm going to smoke my electrical system. Nice job!
