What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nothing Earth shattering but I just installed the ME-SO Customs Ultimate Dome Light & the Gasshole. Picked them up on Black Friday and they just arrived in Canada today. The dome light is very bright and lights up the back seat area very well. Very happy with it. I had put in an LED bulb a couple months back but it was not great. These are the way to go. I have the two front lights still in an aftermarket LED and I'm happy with them. I like the clear push lens and they are a massive improvement to the factory halogen bulbs. May decide to switch out the fronts with the ME-SO kit, but for now I am very happy with an after market LED bulb and the factory clear lens set.

Was disappointed with Toyota when I found out they cheaped-out with no cap hangar on the inside of the gas filler door. Such a simple thing. The Gasshole is expensive for what you get, but now no more wind blowing the cap against the side of the truck when I'm filling up.

 

If it's good enough for you to do, it's special. Congrats on the upgrade!

 

Damn, I really thought the rubber snake would have worked for you. I know it did for my FIL.

 

Looks nice. I wanted to do this, but what do you do if you need to haul a load of firewood, sand, rocks, etc.?

 

I have heard of owl decoys keeping away pesky birds.

 

Buy another Tacoma and install a rubber bed mat would be my suggestion.

 

Sounds like a plan, but we already have 4 vehicles in the stable now. I have to save some room for a 2021 Corvette. I think I will continue to use my utility trailer to haul dirty junk for now.

The material is very durable. It's not carpet, but plastic fibers. It can be hosed, power washed, and swept out, just like a bed without it. I've hauled all of the above with no issues at all.

 

This is my first post, I have a 19’ OR, 5100 w/Eibach 2” coils & 2.5” aal, ARE shell, Decked box, 285/75/16, BAMF sliders (not installed yet)...
I have read posts about this size tire not rubbing bit I can say with the 2” lift they so rub in forward and reverse on flat ground with the wheel turned all the way either direction. Maybe it’s the tires I have (Toyo RT)? Idk but yes rub.
I have nitro gears,5.29 can’t wait to install...after the holidays. Will keep you posted. The shifting is terrible and gas milage is not good (16mpg)

 

One hell of a first post!!! Welcome to TW . Nice looking truck you have there. Some great mods too. Hope you get the rub figured out and the gears help with the shifty business and improve fuel economy.

 

Put Sport badges on ! And 4Runner rims on (got them powder coated black) Also new tires !

 

Thank you !

I'm debating that as well. A small stone chip has me thinking about, but I like the continuous black with the tinted as well. My wife can make that stuff, so I'm considering a carbon fiber look too. Decisions...

 

And it looks like you could take a nap back there...

 

I’ve had a truck for the past 4 years. I haven’t done any of that yet. I CAN take it out if necessary

 

...or just put down a tarp first. A tarp makes getting that last bit of dirt or gravel out easier, anyway (just grab the back edge and pull it out).

<edit> ...AND... If you don't want that tarp flapping around back there as you drive, you can put down some rope or light duty long tie-downs before the tarp. Fold the edges of the tarp over the top and secure it.

 

I try to use the truck bed if I can before I have to hook up the utility trailer. Whole lot easier to park just the truck without the trailer when it go to the lumber yard, etc.

 

Good point
