What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice! Let us know how they work out when put to use.

 

That's not a truck, that's a car with an open trunk.

 

Ill take a picture. should be about 1k lumens per light i got the flood version so a wide spread

 

lol thats a min van, with a mini-bed

 

It’s the angle on the hill. The back is about 1/2 inch higher than the front. I bought the full kit with an extra leaf. I will most likely add the extra leaf when I install the new rear bumper

 

Washed it and got the salt off. Funny how much better that makes me feel

 

anyone have spare AJT fob screws they wouldnt mind to mail me? I'll paypal you for the stamp lol... $7 for 40 but i only need ONE

 

Here's what I did to my 3rd Gen Tacoma today............., tried to get out of it after getting in it.
Apparently it was cold enough for the actuator in the door lock not to function properly and it stayed in the locked position. No function of the interior door handle, nada! I pressed lock and unlock repeatedly thinking that might work......, nope!
Power window was frozen so couldn't get the window down to use the exterior door handle even after beating on the window trying to break the ice that sealed the window.
So now I'm sitting here using four letter explicatives while looking at my glass breaker and a can of spray de-icer in the passenger door drink holder thinking bad thoughts and just how useful that de-icer would be in a frozen solid vehicle. The glass breaker was a non starter.
Well after running the heater for 10 minutes with the blower on full blast and getting the interior so hot that I wanted to strip down to my civies I finally got the window down and was able to use the exterior door handle.
That's what I did to my Tacoma today.

Two revelations came to light after this ordeal. First of all a can of de-icer locked in a frozen solid Tacoma is as useful as a teat on a Tomcat......DUHH!
And second, I need a garage!!

 

Honest question...does de-icer freeze? I would hope not. I might move mine to one of the bed cubbies for this reason.

 

It will at a certain temp. There are also different kinds deicers.

 

Mine hasn't and we hit zero here a couple of times already.

 

I only use the -20 kind and have never had it freeze.

 

Getting rid of as much chrome as possible as well. Recently Plasti Dipped my chrome bumper corners, Tacoma door badge and the chrome around my grill. Also removed my rear V6 badge.

 

Installed pet door guards on the back doors to block the drool.

 

Removed the reddish/burnt orange instrument cluster trim and replaced it with the gun metal grey version. I'll try to grab some pics later.

 

I will see your double ugly, sir, and raise you 'fugly'!

 

Yesterday had the CaliRaisedLed economy roof rack installed.

Today installed the CaliRaisedLed raptor front LEDs and the Molle system in the bed.

 

sorry for your trouble but thanks for the entertainment!

 

Did the same a while back. So much better!
