What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looking good!

 

Thanks buddy

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Diabetes?

 

Don't forget your CoQ10. And cinnamon.

 

Michelob Ultra and Corona Premier are only 2.6 carbs per beer...

 

Seems legit

 

Today I let my wife drive the Taco while I worked on the Lexus Gx470. Removed air bags and converted to coil spring rear suspension.

 

I can’t like this... you let your wife drive the taco and then submitted a “what have you done to your Lexus today,” on the Tacoma thread.

May god have mercy on your soul sir...

 

Replaced the last little bit of chrome left on my MGM. After switching from the chrome SR5 grill to the black matte TRD Pro Grill last week, and switching out my chrome rear bumper end caps for black matte ones yesterday, I replaced all my chrome badges with black matte badges today. The stock wheels and tires are getting swapped with the 4Runner TRD Pro wheels and Nitto Terra Grapplers tomorrow. Pretty stoked!

Also, I washed it today. I have a subscription at the car wash and I wash it almost every day because I live down a dusty dirt road, and I’m really proud of my new truck and I want it to be all shiny and nice. I’m pretty sure they’re losing money on me. I does come with carnuba wax, though I’m really not sure how well those kinds of applications work. Either way, it sparkles every day (until I get back on my dirt road...)

 

Right on man! Sounds like you’re doing everything right

 

Tell me more about this system! I’m big into audio, though I really only know home audio. Car audio seems like a whole different world for some reason. But I’d like to upgrade the system in my Taco too and I’d love some input on good components and whatnot. I will say that the stock systems that come in vehicles these days are far and away better than what used to come stock.

 

Thanks, man! I’m having a ball doing it too! I’m from Huntsville, by the way. Just right up the road from ya.

I agree! Some vehicles just look cheap with black accents. Not Tacos, and especially not the MGM Tacos. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. You never really know how it’s gonna look until it’s done. Can’t wait for the wheels tomorrow. And yeah, I left all the chrome on the inside too. It seems appropriate there.

 

My family has a ranch in New waverly. I go bass fishing there all the time. Small world.

Hey don’t forget to post pictures man! We love pictures

 

Mounted the frontrunner outfitters rack system to the diamond back HD cover.

 

Small world indeed!

I plan on it! I’ve been lurking on this forum ever since January, but I’d like to start being active on it. I think I’ll be to a personally acceptable benchmark after the new wheels are on it tomorrow to where I’ll feel it spiffy enough to snap some “glamour shots”. I may even try to get all artsy-fartsy with it and find a nice backdrop for it. I took this this morning at our pond:

It’d be cool to get a pic of the truck with a background like that (would obviously need some more light). May even get the dog in the pic like all the cool kids are doing. I dunno that I’ll get the same cool-points for it seeing as how he’s a 12lb poodle mix, but he’s the love of my life after my wife and before my truck and has been for 11 years, so I don’t really care!

 

He sounds great! Watch the thread (let’s see your dogs)
I absolutely love it.
My dogs on there

 

Thank you Sean! I really appreciate that. The decals look great on your Limited!

 

Gate/Garage Door Opener .. Homelink:

Installed one of these on my gate and followed the instructions to program the Homelink buttons on the Tech package rear view mirror to open the driveway gate (works for garage door openers too).

I also cut some black vinyl @rrentrop to cover the annoying green light on the rear view mirror (sorry for the bad pics):


Oh ya, I also blacked out the JBL logo:

 

Me? No, thank God!
