What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes they are with a short philips head screw driver from the bottom. You can reach it from the top when you open the hood.

Drew this up myself in Inventor sheet metal on a slow day at work, and then had my friend bend it up. Now I can carry more cargo along with bikes. Previously with the bikes' rear wheels sitting in the bed, a bike of my size's wheelbase would have to be kicked off to the side just for the tailgate of my shortbed to close, but now that isn't a problem.

Looking for short straps or bungees for securing the rear wheel to the "troughs" they ride in, but that shouldn't be too difficult and might almost be unnecessary but I'm not going to chance it.

If I was to make this again, I'd flip the design around just so the bikes sit a little lower, but it's really not that big of a deal.

 

That is awesome. Nice job!

 

Did some first gen things over the weekend! First wheeling trip of the year! Did every trail at ladee flats with no bypasses. 803 has gotten harder!

 

Where can I buy this third gen body style?

 

Well it's been a while since I posted a "What have I done today", so here is a little summary since my last post. In that time I have purchased a pro skid plate, OEM pro grille, pro fogs, pro shift knob, 4 runner pro sema rims, OEM roof rack, BFG KO2s 265/70/17, K&N Blackhawk CAI, Caliraised side shooter ditch lights, Meso V4 ultimate turns/Total Tail light stage 1/ Maps and Dome lights/Fuse cover/lower switch panel/coin holder, pop and lock kit, all speakers replaced with kickers, quickfix full license plate mount, black Tacoma exhaust tip and I have some black/black/black leather perforated Clazzios on the way. I’m sure there are some others I’m forgetting but whatever. I also over the weekend changed my front and rear diff oil. Both were a little low, and the front was pretty dirty, the rear was pretty clear. And damn I made the mistake of leaving my oil pan and old oil in garage without cleaning it out lol. Wow, my whole garage was foul, thank god the smell didn’t get into the house! A few pics!

Dat long bed!!!



Black chrome matches truck perfect!


Caliraised side shooters are bright!


Was adding the red TRD domes to replace my black, flat TRD vinyl. Yeah I know my blinds upstairs are broke, my dogs always push their big heads and break them to look out the window. I've replaced two sets already lol, since the pic I have replaced.


A shot from church parking lot! Yeah I had to turn back and take a pic, my wife and 4 year old daughter laugh at me, but my 2 year old son gets me! He looks and smiles, my man!


Left side was front and right was rear, from the drain plugs of course. It wasn’t so much that it smelled horrible, it was just a very strong smell. Kind of reminded me of growing up on the water, we had a lagoon out back so it reminded me of the low tide smell x10!


I’ll post some better pics later on in the week!

 

Shoot I forgot to include the K&N CAI pic. Here yah go, it sounds mean! I love it, louder then the one I had on my 09 4.0.

 

Depending where you live but it gets pretty bad in the higher elevations. Just bought DeAutoLed projectors and fogs and these are the best there h11 bulb are designed just for projectors and the cut off is just right

 

Nice man.

GO WINGS!

 

Nah , I was on a trail Los Padres forest Saturday then headed to Big Sur

 

Hahah thanks man!

 

It's actually called Vog. It comes from the Volcano, we need to do virgin sacrifices to appease the Gods! Or shit gets Real! LMAO!

 

Which one is it?

 

Oooof, they do look good in black.

 

While true, that truck isn't black.

 

Am I going blind? Is it a dark MGM? Looks great regardless.
Now YOURS is black, and yours does look rad.
