What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

sso hybrid bumper arrived this afternoon, a couple of days early. started getting the X20 smittybilt comp winch setup, got the control box relocated to the side mount position and realigned some of the wiring attached to the control box.

Oregon requires that we display a front license plate so i got a flip up holder from Cascade 4x4, sturdy aluminum construction.

tomorrow, bolt the winch to the bumper, get the rope on the spool and start prepping the truck for the bumper.

 

Not many of us do.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Glad your wife is doing well Bob! The hitch grille is awesome! Gotta get one!

 

What wheels are these? Probably the best looking I've seen on a Tacoma yet!

 

That hitch grill is pretty nice. It'd be hard to feed a crowd though.

Here in Eastern North Carolina, pig cookers are the thing. There are simple ones, fancy ones, homemade ones, commercially made ones, small ones, and big ones. They're everywhere !

Some are wood fired, or charcoal fired, but most seem to be propane fired.

Hank Hill would love it here !

This is a small one made by BQ Grills in Elm City, NC.

Thanx and agree - they are AEV Crestones

 

But I have never had the urge to run through a plate glass window..

 

Been using them for many years as a shaving kit, nothing better for the long walk to the shower on a Middle East deployment.

 

I use that same bag for my Viair. Don't forget to toss a tire patch kit in there, plenty of room.

 

Thanks Ron!

The grill is sold under the brand name "Pilot Rock" made by the R.J. Thomas Manufacturing Co. Chances are that you've unknowingly used one of their products before. They make an array of commercial products like grills, fire rings, picnic tables, benches, bike racks, ect. Check out their site on the web. Their items are built to last and they are great folks to deal with.

Have a good day Bud and Thanks!

 

Just picked up a Factory bed mat off Facebook market for $50

 

You definitely wouldn't see my bumper hauling that around and it would look good on the back of my Tacoma! Wonder if they make high temp paint in Magnetic Gray Metallic?

You're making me hungry Bud!

 

25 lbs. ago I was a crowd!

Now if I could just not be a "gathering" any more I'd be all set.

 

Excellent deal.

 

Not today but soon, @Lugnut22 will be doing a custom console cover to go with my Outdoorsman theme. He does great work, I can't wait!

 

Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out . Gonna attempt to install my CB radio today not the best when it comes to wiring

 

Me neither. I know how to make the connections properly, correct connectors, solder, heat shrink tubing, ect., but when it comes to what wires go where we'll that's another issue.
Sure someone here can walk you through it if you explain what you are trying to do. Some of our members are amazing with their 12V DC electrical skills. I'm always afraid I'll smoke the computer so I tread lightly when doing my own electrical.
I can wire a whole house but when it comes to my Tacoma I'm a babe in the woods!
On the bright side you have warm weather to do the job. Cold as hell here!

 

Installed lowbeam l.e.d. bulbs
Impressed with the color output, will see tonite how much better they are.

Installed Pro side steps
Now I can get in and out without the slightest of jumps I had been doing
