What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'd trade you but to be honest fall is my favorite time of the year, it's just so darn short. New England is awesome this time of year!

 

I installed a Rhino Batwing

 

Tested the new armor...it passed!

 

Picked up an SOS Off Road Streamline today. Carrying it to powder coat Monday and mounting it next weekend.

I've got to decide on a color. Wrinkle black is the obvious choice but thinking of making it TRD grey instead as a custom touch.

 

Got some new shoes. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S. 265/75/16. First new set of tires on the truck.

 

For the awning, do you have issues with it being lower down, or do you just use beach chairs or something?

Bought a 4Runner for the wife. Can’t really compare to the Tacoma as it stickered for about 10k more. But it sure is nice!

 

Installed a

$850 Pioneer MVH-1400NEX Digital Multimedia 6.2" Display with Apple CarPlay (Does Not Play CDs)

Pioneer MVH-1400NEX receiver with Maestro RR and SiriusXM receiver. Clean and now have Apple CarPlay! Yahoo!

 

I used to work out that way for about a year an a half.
Is the near the 95/165?

 

Maybe they can color match the powder coat?

 

I thought about that but I really like contrast. I wish I was decent with Photoshop .

 

Just installed the back window actuator mod as described here:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/converting-sliding-rear-window-to-power.64816/page-11

Great little mod for only about $125!

 

I forgot to ask! Does a spare fit under the truck?

 

I still have stock but I've heard that people are putting 285's in that spot but need to bend 2 little metal tabs somewhere. Only takes minutes. Not sure if you need to with 275. I just haven't gotten to it.

 

Don't get me wrong. I like black bumpers as much as everyone else. You just mentioned having it be unique and that was the first thing that came to mind. Especially with such a nice color like BBP

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Just traded my 3 year Tacoma for a new Tundra, my 16 had been a rock solid investment. I was a little worried about the rumored Tundra's fuel consumption but its only burning 1 to 2.5 L/100km more than my Tacoma. For the little extra expense of fuel, the Tundra's drivetrain engine combo works a lot better than the 16 Tacoma's IMO. The Tacoma's drivetrain had always seemed a little under powered in the low end torque and constantly searching for correct gearing IMO. Trade in value on the Tacoma is crazy high here in Canada. This site has been great for info, Thanks all. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Prinsu installed today . Looks awesome easier then i thought to install. I did run into a snag the right middle mounting hole was not threading had to run out to Depot for a tap easy fix.
