What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Stage 2

 

I put this bad boy on

 

I have 3 weeks with my tacoma, I don’t have enough money saved to get tires, lift suspension and other things so the only thing I did is black out everything for right now until I saved money

 

Welcome to T.W.

 

Debadged and removed Offroad TRD 4x4 sticker. Used heat, floss, rapid remover, correcting cream with high speed DA and looks great.

 

Tons of re-wiring... after installing an offgrid engineers dual battery setup last weekend, I had to redo a ton of wiring since all of my accessories were running off of one battery. Also added a an always on panel in the bed. Didn’t use the blue sea fuse box, just ran couple wires back there and fuses them near the battery. Two sockets and a voltmeter with two usbs. This was more complicated than just moving ring terminals to the backup battery... I had a lot of piggy back fuses...

I also added another Noco battery monitor and port for the back up battery so now I can charge them separately from the cab because I HATE leaving my hood open to condition AGMs. Also if you have an AGM In your 3rd gen and you’re not charging it Via a conditioner once a week at least you’re killing your expensive battery. Our truck’s alternators won’t give them enough juice.

I left the winch running off the main battery per Matt’s suggestion (owner of Off Grid) since it is the one thing on the truck that can draw as much juice as the starter. Is that what everyone else does?

 

What is the cost of the Toyota brand Pop and Lock?

 

I think it's going for $91 on Amazon

 

Thanks. Nice to be part of the Tacoma community!

 

put 2" lift in front, and 1" in rear

 

It’ll drive stock just as good as any lift. Probably better.

 

Air Bnb taco!! Install some Christmas light lnside my soft topper!

 

Welcome Taco owner. We all start somewhere, some are small mods, some are ridiculously big mods. You will find an abundance of both here.

 

I think I'll sleep here. Platform has a bit more padding than you are offering.

 

And a good day to you too, sir

 

Scored a set of 265/70/16 Firestone winterforces studded almost new on Facebook marketplace for $300.

 

Clearly your roads are smoother than here in the northeast, if you can transport coffee on the wheel well.

 

Thoughts on the CG HyndroSlick? I’m thinking about trying some out.

 

Any of you 3rd gen folks get a dreadful ticking or tapping noise from the passenger rear cabin area? It sounds like plastic in plastic and it’s bothering me to no end. I wish I knew how to upload a video I have of it but hopefully someone knows a fix. Thanks!
