What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks like a Halloween cave for the kids to have fun in.....

 

Awesome work!.......................

 

added CBI sliders today.

 

Dipped my hood scoop,, second time a charm,, my first attempt sucked.

 

New wheel day for me. I picked up a set of 17” T Force wheels courtesy of @13txtaco that were plastidipped. I finally got around yesterday to stripping and painting them yesterday:



I went with gunmetal with a clear coat and while I was at, I decided to paint my badges to match. I did the V6 as an experiment, thinking I would just remove it if I didn’t like it, but so far, I’m happy with the result:





Got the wheels mounted today:





Still trying to decide wheel caps or no wheel caps. The front discs look great, but the rear drums don't. Next up, I'll paint the side Tacoma badges, then probably remove the bed decal.

Any local people looking for a good shop to do a wheel swap, Dallas Brake and Alignment in the Design District did mine for $25/wheel including full balance and TPMS.

 

The sub looks like its pretty cheap but how does it sound? And what do you need to connect it to the stock radio? Anything special? And did you need a separate amp?

 

Camera Move

I am installing a 4 Wheel Camper when it is finished at the end of October and pulled my tailgate this past weekend. On Labor Day I spent some time relocating my camera. After trying many locations, I settled for using the tailgate mount in the hole over the license plate.


The plug goes in at an angle so the hole needs to be a little bigger. I marked the area with tape and used a dremel to cut a lager hole.


With just a couple of drilled holes and a couple of screws, flat washers and locking nuts I was able to complete the install.


Here is two views of the completed install.

 

Is that the hole for lowering the spare? Can't ck my rig right now. Thanks

 

I put this on few days ago but just finally finished messing arround with the grommet to make it look legit. So here is my big 2lb ball thing I hold while I drive. Racesng Prolix in White Gloss.

 

Can’t check mine either, but probably ... will open it up more to the side if necessaary

 

Love the way this looks!

 

Installed the Subaru Kicker tweeters, and JBL GT series 6x9 & 6.5 with factory entune premium head unit. Much better. Then finished de-badging, no more TRDOR stickers, V6 or TACOMA. Hopefully the SR5 grill shows today, would like to start working on painting the chrome bezel black so I can install it this week.

 

Thinking about doing the plastic trim around the bottom of the shift boot and the plastic trim by the navigation white to match the knob. Seen some pics of it. Looks nice. And hey, thanks for the compliment!!

 

You will love it! It was that last little touch i needed to complete my front end lighting needs!

 

I know that this is as cliché as, "Wut iz duh biggezt tire I can put on stock suzpenshun?"; but I got my @Tacowiede radio knobs today.

 

I for one would be interested to hear of your experience after using this kit. Who makes it? Got a part number? Thanks!

 

Sport Grill put in today painted matte black to match the Sema wheels and vinyl on scoop!

 

What's the story with the Chuck Norris signature? Is this a thing now?

 

He has a Tacoma TV Commercial out with a Quicksand Version. Youtube it! It is funny!

 

Thanks!!
