What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hitch haul for extra gear during traveling mostly, I have a shackle that i can use to assist pulling someone from a ditch, going to put a reciever umbrella holder on it for camping, beach etc

 

Removed the air dam

 

It has a skid plate, but i would characterize it more of a wind deflector. My hitch actually mounts to the outside of frame and has two bolts that attach outside of the "skid" plate

 

I had a k and n on my '12 ACLB.
I chose S and B for my '17. Its enclosed, still pulls from the fender and has an included optional inlet for the front grill as well.

 

The exhaust tip looks great. I have a silver sky colored Tacoma. I am debating getting the chrome verses the black OEM exhaust tip. I'm leaning towards the black. Here's my question: When viewing the truck from the rear, does the contrast between the silver colored exhaust pipe and the black exhaust tip look ok ?
Edit: Purchased and installed the black exhaust tip. It looks great !

 

Let some air out of the tires, you big baby!!!

 

Better question is, " do my hips look too big in these pants"?

 

Thanks. The heavy aluminum TRD Pro Skid is my concern. Alterations to the hitch may be needed or may not work at all. I don't want to compromise the structural integrity of either one.

 

Interesting.

 

Wouldn’t matter if you used some high heat black spray paint.

 

Yes. This ^

Actually he was born 25 years prior. Ask me how I know. And yes I get a lot of my knowledge from my 2 kids that are in their 20's

 

Fixed my bumper scrape with touch up paint. Sand a bit, primer, two coats of paint, Two coats of top coat. Not perfect if you get your nose close to it, but I doubt anyone but me will ever notice it.

Did you clear over the whole corner?

 

As we used to counter-argument on my high school debating team, " F*** You Too !"

 

Westin HDX - round them for half off on Amazon during Prime Day. I really like the square tube frame vs the round.

 

I always added K&N intake kits to my vehicles. Some cars came with them. The sole reason I put one on the 16 Taco was to hopefully minimize or eliminate the throttle lag. And it did exactly that. For $199 I figured it was worth trying. I also added a Gibson catback. I wouldn't say there is a real horsepower gain but I will say the throttle response is far better than stock. After 3.5 years I have no complaints with the K&N performance though I wish it were quieter. The exhaust does balance out the sound.

 

What touch-up paint did you use? I’m having a hell of a time finding Andy cement that even remotely matches.
