What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed my Pop & Lock today, this is phase 1 of securing my bed. Phase 2 is a Diamondback SE.

 

Installed the front rail that Toyota decided to omit. I doubt if it was a cost savings measure. More likely they put every area of product development on a diet to save weight.

Not certain I will use it much, but after unbolting the header I was amazed how light it was and how flimsy the front of the bed is. The rail actually weighs more than the header and seems like it will add a lot of strength.

As mentioned you do not need screws, You re-use the 5 that are already there. You unbolt the header then place the rail on top of the strip that bolts the header to the bed. Then re-install the screws, effectively sandwiching the header between the rail and bed.

Make sure to orient the two asymmetrical drain holes facing down.

You'll need a T-30 Torx

Perhaps 10 minutes.

 

Installed my MESO Turn Signals. Easy ass mod, looks amazing. Great work @MESO! Also I will be at SEMA this year...see ya there

 

When you get tired of Virginia drivers... You purchase a dash cam. It’s actually pretty clear at night too, picture doesn’t no justice.

This year's winter mode. I also added sway bar relocates and fixed my brake line mounts since I don't run my OL on my AAL.

 

I like those. Where did you get them?

 

I can't remember. I got em awhile back to put in my uniform. It just resurfaced MAR this year when I was moving and packing. Thx!

Just put on my @SCSPerformance f5’s 16x8 3.5 backspacing -25mm offset. I love it.

 

Great idea and you are right ....

 

Built a super cheap, bed height rack for the tent just in time for an overnighter on the San Juans.

 

Went to the mountains this weekend with my son to test out my new KO2’s.

 

Beast. Very nice. What size?

Where do the 4 Hexalobular screws go?

 

Last minute change? Might be a nice contrast from all the exterior black trim? Truck is looking

 

That is comical. I was thinking the same thing about the DU.... I mean, since I went there and all. ha. But, the duck makes more sense.

 

Figured it will be nice to have options. Who knows, I might do black on drivers, blue on passenger side
