What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed TRD emblem the other day. Thinking of doing the same on the tailgate.

 

DO IT

 

Probably the best tire out there. Good choice.

 

Probably wouldn’t have done so much damage, if the bull bar wasn’t there.
My experience has been they are good to hang lights on, but when you get in a slight fender bender they can cause way more damage. Been there

 

Looks clean man! I got my Alum Baja in Powder now. Hope it goes on before GSMTR this coming week.

 

Installed LED Bed lights. Got them off Amazon, so we'll see how long they last but I'm happy with the results so far. If they do fail they just go to a weatherpack connector so I can just swap them out with some higher quality LED Strips.

 

That's no bump, he was moving when he hit it.....

 

Finally installed my diamondback. Terrible picture in the garage because Memphis won't stop getting rained on.

I installed a rago quick release fire extinguisher mount as well but am a little worried about how the fire extinguisher will react to the heat under the diamondback in the summer months. I will just monitor the gauge and see how it goes.

Next steps are to black our the emblems and buy/install an icon leaf pack to get some of my rake back.

Does anyone have an opinion on replacing the chrome badges with black vs just plastidipping the chrome?

 

That is crazy!

What badges do you have to cover? I see the SR5. I have a few extras from my OEM kit that I will give you (you pay freight is all). Probably $8.00 for one of those USPS boxes.

 

An overlay kit is the easiest way to black out and the current crop looks pretty good. But you could try dreping and see how it works out for you since it's not a big investment in $, just your time.

 

I need to cover the SR5, Tacoma, and 4x4 badges. I appreciate it. I may try dipping at first and PM you if it doesn't go so well lol.

 

10-4. I have the SR5’s and 4x4, I don’t have the Tacoma.

 

Derping my badges was the first time I ever used plasti-dip. I was amazed at how easy and perfectly it worked. I’m a big fan now and have used it to derp my AC vent rings and cup holder trim ring. Just take your time, and I think warm water bathing of the spray can between coats made a big difference. Probably just deceiving myself, but every step to improve the application improves the end result.

 

They are

255/85/16 really nice and they are not to loud on the highway.

 

Nice, where'd you get the badge?

Thanks!

 

Congrats! I just installed.my Diamondback too. Love it!!!

Did you seal the openings in the bed bulkhead? I still need to do that. I think there is a thread on TW showing how to do it.
