What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Gotta love winter time in Florida.

 

Spent a little time with some SeaDeck boat deck material, a razor blade, and a 3/8 gromet punch a little while back and never got around to posting a picture.

As a little backstory, I prefer the aesthetics of the Access Cab and the Utility of the long bed, but ended up purchasing a 2016 Short Bed Double Cab last fall. I hate that Toyota redesigned the jump seats in the access cab to not fold out flat anymore. I realize that the new design was better for short trip passengers, but I always used that space for stuff and dogs anyway. Then I found out that you couldn’t get a Manual Tranny with a Double Cab Long Bed. Anyway, I thought the folding rear seats in the Double Cab were gonna give me a nice place to put stuff and that being able to reasonably be able to fit 4 adults was gonna make up for the shortcomings. Unfortunately, Toyota also decided to make the flat area on the folded down seat backs - slick as snot. My 2006 Access Cab had nice rubber strips there to keep stuff from sliding around too much. Nice touch, and would have been great in my new Taco.

Anyway, I was talking with Will Owens over at Jet Boat Pilot, and he set me up with some scrap SeaDeck Decking Material that I cut to fit on the seat backs, and so far I’m very happy with the results.

That's awesome!

 

Joe and his crew @Mobtown Offroad hooked it up today. Low pro bumper is installed with winch and I am more than impressed by how it turned out. I really like the low weight and stock appearance it has. I also got some sliders.

Half way done with my floor jack mount.

 

Yes it looks great!

 

That bumber looks really good!

 

is that the NEW NEW bumper? was thinking about one of those...how much $?

 

No stupid questions. Everyone begins learning at some point.This is the place to learn all things Tacoma.
If I haven't already done so, welcome to Tacoma World.

 

So last week I purchased a new pocket holster for my Ruger LCP 380. I’ve been using a Desantis inside waist holster and desided to try a pocket holster instead. I was then left with the idea of mounting the Desantis somewhere in my truck. (Not to leave it in there 24/7 but to have accessible when on a road trip or something.) Turns out the Desantis belt mount was able to clip just right under the steering column. So no drilling required. It’s not visible through the windows and doesn’t seem to get in my way when entering or exiting the truck. Just thought I’d share the idea....

 

Plenty of install threads here to make the job easier. Make sure to use plenty of silicone for a proper a seal. Mine came with standard rails. I like the new rails with slots that’s makes mounting accessories a lot easier

 

You are in one of my favorite places in Florida. We have a place due east in Melbourne.

 

Joe will be putting it on the site next week. Not sure on final pricing with options yet.

 

My Mom's family settled in Indialantic in the 50's. Loved spending summers there. Watched numerous launches, including Apollos 8, 11, 16, and 17 from their front lawn!

A bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins still live there.

Bought a house last year in Saint Augustine.

 

Does it get in the way of the knee airbag?

 

Nice! Did you derp them or use the blackout kit?
