What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is what I ordered late last night.
I want to give a big up to @state48overland. The experience I just had working with both Erick and Jay was straight up top shelf!
I must say this Black Friday happened to line up with a couple of builds that I am beginning...and why not spend your hard earned money and save.
Picked up the following and the savings were big, but I must say the friendship I just made..was it for me. Straight up awesome people.

- Demello Baja Low Profile (Alum) Front Bumper (deleted the kickers on hoop) 3rd gen taco.
- Demello FJCruiser 3Hoop Alum Front Bumper
- Sliders for 3rd gen Taco Pro and 5th gen Runner Pro.
- Two SPOD Bantam w/ HD Panels.
- Two TPAMs for all the gadgets currently held up by Hondo Garage vent blockers.

Giving a shout out to @Jmad1997 for hooking me up with a stout Med Kit and one Krazy Beaver Shovel! This guy is a super cool.

A big thanks to the PowerTrays, Off-Grid Engineering and Apex Overland, for the awesome products and savings.

Thanks to @Dobinsons Mike for the sweet deal on a new Snorkel they just released.

Again I can’t thank these guys enough.
My Black Friday got real!

Happy Taco Tuesday!

I know a lot of people were waiting for my Decked video so here you go!

Some day....Interesting solution in comparison with TruckVault. I was curious about the outlet and bed stiffeners...but looks good.

 

I looked into TruckVault and their products are legit and impressive. Their locking system is definitely more secure. What detracted me was the cost. It was considerably much more.

Thanks

 

Nice video! I have Decked in my 3rd Gen and love it. All of the tools i had under the rear seat in my old F150 Supercrew now reside in the left drawer, and have the right available for other gear. Its a great addition to the Taco.

 

Thanks. Having drawers to lock down my recovery stuff and other equipment was a necessity after getting my ammo cans jacked. Didn't want to repeat that again.

 

What up Rob, I appreciate you putting in the time to make your vids, your doing an awesome job...keep it coming. I will share with you all my thoughts on a lot of parts that are coming in shortly.
Quick heads up, the “Ammo Cans” on it aren’t waterproof. You have a shell so this doesn’t effect you. Just wanted to point it out, that it’s best to drill a drain hole in those to allow the water a place to go.
Have you setup some leds in that camper? I was looking for a White/Red option. Should you know of something let a TW brutha know!

 

Thanks for the compliment. Ah I read it's (ammo cans) supposed to be waterproof according to Decked so I didn't drill any holes.

I haven't done any LEDs yet. I should have when I ran wires to the Baja Designs RTL but I overlooked it. If I do anything, I'll definitely share it.

 

Went orange to match the color.

 

That looks amazing! I had just put in a quote for the same shell for 17’. Hoping to pick it up and throw a rack on top in February!

 

It’s that time of the year again! The only time I ever get my money’s worth out of that 12v plug.

 

The DRLs are color changeable to any color. Blue, Red, Green, Yellow etc. but they are also switchbacks. So when I use my turn signal it will always flash amber on my DRLs

 

That reminds me - time to do mine tonight!

 

Only 1 string, so I need to pick up another string tomorrow.

 

Installed my early Christmas present to myself today, 4300K HID’s (on the left, compare to an H9 bulb in the low beam on the right).

 

And the list keeps getting bigger and bigger.... cool thanks!

 

Looking forward to my drive home tonight, excited to see how the output compares to the H9’s I drove in to town with this morning.

 

Got underneath the truck and changed oil, added a Fumoto drain valve, changed front and rear diff oil with GENUINE Toyota LT gear lube, changed transfer case oil, greased propellershaft (x5), wiped down frame and applied 3 cans of FluidFilm to frame and crossmembers inside and out. I’m officially oily and dirty, but ready for winter in Illinois.
