What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like your idea...

Giving you credit now for when it shows up in my bed.

 

Easy project , lol. Beats spending $45-$100 for the same thing really. Good luck with it bud

 

Installed Weathertech mud flaps and Tyger side steps/nerf bars on my 2019 SR Access Cab utility:

 

Installed remote reservoir rears and carrier bearing drop today.

 

Do you have a full side profile of your truck? I wanted to see what it looks like with the black 4Runner off-road wheels

 

I’ll have to take a more recent one

 

I love my 4runner wheels. Thought about doing some blue trim or highlights to them.
Didn't do anything "to" the Tacoma but did a thing for my Tacoma accessory manufacturing. Added a second overhead heater to the manufacturing side of my shop. Now I have a heater in my car bay and one in my machining bay. Ready for winter.

 

Got a smoking deal on a used Snugtop Rebel with fold down slider front window, carpet interior, Yakima tracks, and reinforced roof. Removed my Backflip MX4 that came with the truck, which was great but I just need a topper for camping. I'll be cleaning that up to sell.

Also added AVS vent visors.

Black Friday fairy is bringing some Thule crossbars, Cali raised hidden bumper light, and Meso black turn signals.

Truck is coming along

 

Thanks! I was scrolling trying to find him last night.

 

So I finished this today in my 3rd Gen. Took my daughter back to VA Tech, after the Thanksgiving week break. Left early Sat AM, about a 750 mile trip from our house. Great weather, perfect day for a drive and I love the route thru NY to VA, Rt 84 to Rt 81. I've done the trip twice before in a full size Yukon, first time in the Tacoma. My truck is stock, engine, tires, etc with just a few cosmetic mods so far. It was perfect time with my oldest, lots of laughs and conversation along the way between the 2 of us. I had reservations to stay the night in Blacksburg, VA and return today, the same route. What threw me a curve ball was the storm forecast, with the Boston news reporting the path to be basically my entire route home - at the same time! So I took her and her roommate out to dinner and then decided maybe it would be in my best interest to get a jump on the return trip. A couple of gas, coffee and bathroom stops and a tad over 11 hrs later, I arrived back here this morning. I'm not sure who was more tired me or the truck. It's my daily driver, basically I'm a flatlander living about a mile from the ocean and drive it maybe 1K a month, mostly locally. It was an eye opening experience to say the least, even while manually downshifting from overdrive, to see how much the truck struggled with the hills in NY, PA and VA. I just could not imagine how you guys out west with "real hills", especially if you have any type of armor, steel bumpers, winch and/or larger tires, are able to drive your truck regularly thru the elevation changes. I know I could go with a tune, but I truly think I needed 2 more cylinders to just be able to stay with the flow of traffic. I really felt like I was abusing the truck near the end, even on a few smaller hills coming out of CT and the MA. It just seemed so under powered and I was trying to drive it easy. About 1500 miles total and got around 21-22 mpg. Still love it for everything else, but the next trip will be with the Yukon. Thanks Bill in MA

 

Replaced by broken mirror piece thanks to @Comato$e and his puddle lights. Cool dude and a big help!

 

Sweet! Looks awesome! Glad you were able to find a good deal.

 

Any time. Not sure if you found him but there is a thread with lots of pictures TW members have posted with the work he has done. You won't be disappointed.

 

Sounds like an awesome trip with the kid! But I hear ya on the hill struggle! Like you said it sometimes feels like abuse on the truck trying to stay at the speed limit on some hills. Glad to hear you beat the storm and made it home safely!

 

Trips with kids can be fun. Just finished my 8 hour drive from NC. It was the maiden voyage in the TRD Pro vs the usual ES350.

Totally different beasts but I love Tacos and I enjoyed the trip. The kids, a little less LOL

The low drone from the TRD exhaust got on her nerves a tad. Cest la vie.

 

Love my Taco too! I’ve adapted to the power limits and wouldn’t trade it for anything else! Lot of time and mods invested, and worth every penny and busted knuckle!

 

Just installed an Undercover Ridgelander today. Very impressed with it

Drove it like I stole it.
