What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

garden hose... truck got blasted with sand while driving back from AZ. probably softened up the paint enough to just let it go.

 

Just a sneak peek before and after.
Trucks currently at ceramic pro for the gold package and also had the custom trd off road hood logo applied there. I’ll have more pics by the weekend. Did both my trd off road factory wheels and trd pro 4Runner wheels coated with the ceramic as well.

 

I’ve been waiting 3 months to put these wheels and tires on. Finally winter seems like it’s over.

 

Front: 5100s / 885s / 1/4" strut spacers (both sides)

Rear: 1.25" tapered blocks

 

Today's post is "What did the DMV and dealership do for my new Tacoma today?"

They sold or put my info on their list for idiots who think I'm going to fall for Time Sensitive, Request for Immediate Action, Notification Deadline Call Immediately, your factory warranty has expired type junk mail. Thanks asshats. No, this didn't come as a surprise as it happens every time, but still annoys me.

Also scheduled an appointment to get the tint matched all the way around and received my new copy of Colorado Backroads & Trails in the mail.

 

Looks awesome! Like the step rail also!

 

If you got the guide by Charles Wells and Matt Peterson it's an awesome resource. I have their California edition and love it!

 

That's the one. Maps, waypoints, GPS coordinates, and a summer full of trying to tick off all the moderates.

 

Enjoy!

 

Have her the first bath. Washed my taco with dawn original to strip, then laid down a coat of

$21 collinite 845 insulator wax-easy to use carnauba+polymer wax sealant-high gloss shine+durable hydrophobic beading & long lasting paint protection for cars/boats/trucks/rvs & motorcycles (16 fl oz)

collinite 845. Mods on hold till after I grab my ankles for the tag on this thing. Thanks Oklahoma.

 

Ups guy showed up late yesterday so I only had time to mount the Cali raised 42” slimline light bar. Still needs some tweaking. Maybe I can finish wiring it today after work

 

Removed the chrome lettering and replaced it with the Seven Sparta zinc alloy matte black inserts. Gotta say, these things are heavy! While back there, installed LED license plate lights. Next up is to black out the other badges and eventually the grille.

20K service right now. Chilling at the stealership, checking out the overpriced new trucks. Sticker is at $38, then they put their amazing “Spec 1 build” on it... lol

 

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a Pro. From another dealer of course.

 

Thing is, some rich guy will buy that for his kid.

 

Installed my new knock off pro grill. Pretty happy with it.

 

That is crazy! If I had $53K I would not be living in the projects!

 

There’s a pro in the cavalry blue here for $56K. I will stick with my bbp sport and shaddup

 

I want to know what is included in that Spec 1 build before I pass judgement. Has to be incredible to be worth 13K
