What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Same guy! Working with him now to get replacements lol.

 

Gotcha, he treated me great on my decals. Good luck with your install!!

 

Thanks! He’s been really cool working with me. He changed the TRD to TSS, and now he’s reviewing pictures of the passenger side to see if it needs to be redone. I totally recommend him for any decals. Top notch customer service!

 

Totally agree.

Finally got around to adding the pop-n-lock full tailgate kit from @KTJO 4x4.

 

I’ve seen a lot of questions about the room the redline hood struts take. I hope these videos help. I’m sorry I didn’t throw a tape measure in there. Maybe next time.

Do the spacers make a notable difference when driving? Been on the fence about getting these...

 

That is why I still have my stock decals. I have no patience with that type of work.

 

Hey, Colby.

They are not for me. My wife could not make it for just short trips in the passenger seat. I tried some 1in round spacers that I printed and she was thrilled and good to go for long drives. I wasn't happy with the look of them though and made the shaped spacers. @7r41lbr34k3r has been doing a killer job of kicking these out in aluminum. On a particular drive, my wife was again uncomfortable, so I wanted to try 1.5in to see what she thinks. Those now replace the 3D printed ones that you see in the pics.

If I get in the passenger seat, I can immediately tell the difference. The extra 0.5in is noticeable also. The seat bottom feels flat now. I have not been in the passenger seat for a long drive though.

Thankfully, I am 100% comfortable without spacers.

You are more than welcome to try mine out. Also as a test, just grab a 1in stack of washers and the M10 x 1.25 50mm long flanged 10.9 bolts. You can reuse those longer bolts once the spacers arrive.

A washer stack isn't a great idea long term though.

 

Huge difference for me. Relieves the pressure on the back of thighs and lower back on longer trips especially. I have 1" spacers currently but am going to get some ½" spacers for drivers side. I am 6'2" and 1" is ok but think ½" will be better for me.

 

I’m interested in adding a custom grill to my Tacoma. I like the ones that say TACOMA and the lettering glows at night, maybe it’s LED? but I have been unable to find any threads pertaining to them. Anyone here have one that can share some pictures or additional info?

Thanks to anyone that has liked and mentioned our newly added graphics.

 

Amazon.

 

dbcustomz and 300 industries both make ones that glow

 

that decal is pretty freaking cool

 

No, I don’t have any resources or skills for that. I wish I did. I was hoping you had the whole package. Kind of wish you could be the go to guy to change my stuff. Especially since you are so close to me. Just got back from the City Park area a few minutes ago. Gotta love Nawlins traffic.
I’ll try to see in someone in the Terrebonne Parish area has vacuum or injection capabilities. Please keep us posted on how the project is coming out.

 

Thanks! That was done by @amirak at www.jupiteronearth.co. The decals are excellent quality. I screwed up the application but I ordered a new set from him if that tells you how much I liked it. Totally recommend!

 

I would appreciate any insight into injection or vacuum forming if you know someone nearby! I do a lot of design work and have access to CNC routers and milling machines, laser cutters, and 3D printers, however often times injection or vacuum forming is the better application.

What sort of modifications do you have in mind? Feel free to DM me!

 

Nice vids. Not sure why I didn’t think of that!

 

In stop and go traffic the blinker lights always confuse me. It looks like tapping brakes instead of holding brakes. It gets even worse when the person is tapping their brakes and now the lights are doing all kinds of weird things. I understand the other lights stay constant, I'm just saying it's still confusing.
