What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I would have thought that Illinois would have some sort of weight or size requirement.

I waded through the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code that I had linked to earlier (now that I'm fully awake). All I could find was that the following are exempt:

(3) Any special mobile equipment as herein defined; (couldn't find the definition, but this might possibly include cement mixers and log splitters)

(7) Any converter dolly or tow dolly which merely serves as substitute wheels for another legally licensed vehicle. A title may be issued on a voluntary basis to a tow dolly upon receipt of the manufacturer's certificate of origin or the bill of sale; (I suppose one could argue that this includes motorcycle trailers)

I need to talk to a cop. Got errands to run later, one stop is next to a Dunkin' Donuts*. I'll pop in there.

* - Seriously. I'll be out and about during their shift change. The ones going on duty stop in for coffee first.

 

As I understand it, the same is true here in NC. Unless it's a pig cooker. They are specifically exempt.


And no pig cookin' is complete without some fine Tennessee Whiskey.

 

I like the way you think!

 

What’d you use to paint em? Did you do a light sanding of the clear coat, first?

Nice job tying it all together and making us hungry in the process!

 

Where did you get those fender flairs? Been looking for a set.

 

Pretty cool day ! i got my set off Quick Fists to finish my shovel/axe mounts....I also got my 2nd Tsunami Compressor. Im gonna see if I can pull of that 2 compressor + tank air system Ive seen. If it doesnt work out i have a back up compressor , hehe. BUT, the great news is my SOS sliders are ready to ship ! That is the coolest news ever , we are half way there. I also got this Lamin-X yellow (crap i think) to try to put on my fog lights. If that doesnt work Im gonna just cave in and get those amber squadrons to relieve my pain. Have a kick ass evening Tacoma Fam !

 

Getting drunk reading this thread

David Allen Coe, then George Jones, and then Chris Stapleton. All good, but I like Chris version the best.

 

Had my Redline Tuning gas struts on the porch waiting for me when I got home. These mark the first official cuts into the truck outside of the holes in the rain gutter weather stripping for the roof rack earlier this week. Give me time... I have to start slowly. I followed the directions almost to a tee, but deviated a bit by pre-drilling the holes in the fender for the ball mounts. I also gave a few small sprays of touch-up paint into all of the holes and hit them with a heat gun prior to riveting the mounts onto the hood and fenders. Looking great!

 

Looks cold man ......Diggin that roof rack though !!! hehe. Wish i could get one those bad boys.

 

I too was a bit worried about taking the power drill to the sheet metal, but it's all good. I've not heard of anyone really screwing up this installation although there's probably a few. I also sprayed painted the holes drilled but I was afraid the enormous pressure exerted by the pop rivets would just scrap it off. So I put a healthy glob of gun grease in and around the holes. Hope that keeps the rust devils away.

This is great economical upgrade.

 

Got some new shoes and an alignment today.

 

Looks great !! Im liking my Duratracs !

 

Imagene how much easier it would have been to put in that very beautifully done fuse box if you had done that first!
