What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Easthill, I knew there was something about you that I liked! My first car was a '68 Fiat 850 Spyder. Remember the centrifugal oil filter in the crank pully? I sold my third X/19 just before I bought the "18 Tacoma.

 

Put 800 miles on mine this past weekend. Finally broke 5K miles. My first long trip in this truck. Got 20mpg running 80-85 in the left lane. I can live with that.

 

My temporary one for now, going to build a different one with a single large drawer. Is decked with the price? I think it’s pricey

Curious to know if you have any pros and cons

 

Just installed my bed racks from http://tacomapocalypse.com/product/2005-toyota-tacoma-bed-rack/

Moab in the middle of peak season has turned into a gong show. They're building more hotels than the water table can even support right now trying desperately to keep up. It's going to implode under its own weight which is really sad because it is such an awesome place otherwise.

 

I didn't even know these were available. NICE

 

Decided to save myself $1000 and build my own bed slide. Used simple furniture sliders, slides extremely easy.

 

Plasti-dipped the chrome bezel around the grill last night. 8 coats of P-D and 3 coats of glossifier. Before/during after:









I was shooting for something closer to the smoked color of the grill, but seeing it now I'd like it to be a little darker. I might re-do it using more black coats of P-D with only one coat of glossifier instead of three. Going to sit with it for a week or two and then decide. Fun project though.

Those look great. Been looking for something like these. How is your line of sight out of rear view? Would like to be able to see out of the back on long trips, so might need the higher ones. Thanks

 

awesome masking job, but I think it would be easier if you just removed the trim from the grill.

 

Nothing to my truck but a fun day of taking NOAA scientists to the Arctic Circle.

 

I bet you could find a good spot in that aircraft for a few MESO stickers.....make us proud!

 

Haha. This old girl is tagged up enough. It's her last couple flights in Alaska.

Safe travels, thank you for your service.

 

Hell yeah!

 

Interested to hear what the clearance issue is. We have seen that there is no clearance issue with a full sized truck, but interested to see what the issue is with the Tacoma.

 

I'll post some pictures inside, looking out this afternoon for you

 

What kind of roof rack is that, if you don't mind me asking

 

Agreed.
