What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

To me the taping was a pain. When I did mine it was snowing outside and 20 degrees. Did the spraying with truck in garage. Have heat but blower is on farthest wall away from where I sprayed plastidip. It turned out decent and has held up around a year. Picture is recent.

 

Nice job, I kept messing with it as I had time today and finally got a 3rd clear coat on. I think I may still try again this weekend. I do plan to either vynl the letters/badge or paint again. I just taped and cut with a knife.

 

I masked it so the "wall" inside the v shape is still black. I think I sprayed at least 6 coats of dip on it. Wish I was skilled enough to paint the embossed K&N on my intake tube. Funny thing is I rarely open the hood but, when I do, I like the way the color pops. I think I took the idea from @KTJO 4x4 and I think hers is orange on her red truck. To me yours looks fine. Much better than all dull black.

 

Mind if I use your idea for inspiration? I'm fully blacked out except a blue front hook and blue interior trim lines. Really digging the idea, and like that color pop!

TW is all about sharing. No problem brother.

 

“Installed” a bed mat, configured a few areas for pistol options, organized some storage.

 

Yeah. I definitely wouldn’t go back to the all black one. To me it brings character to a location that is hidden but stands out when you look under the hood. I even had Wilsonville Toyota mention how they should come stock like that. I dipped the whole thing all together and then just used something to cut around the edges of the sections I didn’t want to be red and peeled off the rest. It was supper easy. You just need to put enough coats on.



It looks orange but it’s actually red.

 

what mount did you use to attach the cases to your cabrac

 

Had a new exhaust system installed by Dirty Deeds Industries.

I used them to push the wheels out. Not sure if anything would rub without them.

 

Just ordered them in black for my silver as well.

 

Just got the Fox

$977 2.0 IFP Fox 2.0 Performance Coil-Over Front Pair compatible with 2005-2016 Toyota Tacoma

2.0 IFP Coilovers Fronts and Rear set today (Black Friday). 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers getting ordered today too. Ugh, my wallet.

That's my plan eventually as well. Although, lots of californians are migrating to Idaho and prices are going up.

 

Looks good from here.

Yesterday I pulled into the garage for a last coat of wax before winter. Opened the bed to find a half gallon of flat enamel pooled around some tools. It took about 1 full roll of paper towels to clean it up


Wax turned out good as always though

 

Pulled the trigger on a set of Fox

2.0 IFP Coilovers Fronts with rear shocks from bilsteinlifts.com sicne they had a 15% off sale. I'll pick up a 1 inch block for the rear later today.

 

Need to figure out why my washer pump stopped working. At first I thought i ran out of fluid, it seemed as if it did. So opened the hood and it's full. When I pull the lever the wipers move but no noise from the pump..

 

Got new shoes mounted. Decided last minute to opt out of the 315s went with 305/70/16s a little wider then my old 285s

 

I noticed that. I hardly recognized CDA when I was visiting home last summer. Houses that once were like 150k are now in the 400’s. It’s a shame, but I always knew that it would eventually happen. Beautiful state with awesome laws and low cost of living is impossible to keep a secret as soon as everyone finds out that potato farms are only in the south.
