What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finished installing LEDs inside the cab. Love the look. Super easy and affordable upgrade.

 

Nice truck.

How much higher do those fender sit vs the factory fenders?

 

Oh man, they sit at least an inch to an inch and a quarter farther out onto the fenders. I took em off once to see if I could put stock flares on but nope, the worn line sits too far out.

 

That kinda of sucks that you can’t take them off. So I’m guessing small debris get trapped between the fender and body and rub a line into the paint? Or is it something that could be buffed out?

 

Nah, just like you said, sand and small debris rubs a line over time removing the paint. Where I'm at now I can't remove without touch up paint work, but they're starting to grow on me. The tires and such made them easier to cope with, should've seen them with the stocks on, lol. Every small little change helps them blend into the scheme more.

 

I agree, with the wheels and tires larger than stock they look good and Proportionate. I think they would look funny on stock tires.

 

Got a set of Demello Hybrid Kickout sliders put on.

So far they slide over dirt really well

 

A few stickers. Simple, low $$.

 

Temporarily turned my Tacoma into a 2019 Mustang convertible.
The dealer needed to keep my truck overnight for a warranty replacement of the headliner. The Mustang is a free rental. Fun car, although I would rather have my truck.

 

last guys to work on my truck overtightened the fox perch bolt. gave it a ¼ turn to loosen and sprang! perch jumped. yay! immobilized in the driveway until i can get a new collar and bolt from fox. hopefully threads are ok. otherwise i’ll have all 4 pulled and rebuilt / valved.


thankfully i have a trusty fe501s to ride.

 

Jebus noool

 

yup what a pain in the dick and there’s no way i can drive it it’ll forsure break the resi elbow fitting. so towed to the shop it is.

 

One of my nightmares

 

glad it happened in my driveway and not 50 miles into the middle of nowhere

 

In 2009 I had 163 hits in my is350. Some where larger than 4". They did PDR. Like new.

 

It was explained to me by the experts that the older type of tint had metal in it(bad for cellular/ Wifi reception). The new type of tint has ceramic in it(no radio interference). Both types are still offered.

 

tvdvinyldecals.com is where I get my inserts snd overlays.

 

Ya mean these?

Yeah thanks - I ordered from there yesterday.

 

Now here's my next question , from the OCD department. Does anyone make smaller vinyl overlays for all weather mats? Because the "Tacoma" on those only comes in white so if you go any other color on the sill protector , it's right next to it and it won't match. (I checked with tvd already and he doesn't)
