What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This. Took about an half hour or so with the grill and lights. Wired on all the time. DTRL on just because.

 

That's the spirit! Very nice!

Merry Christmas!!

 

It'll be worth the wait!
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

 

I know it will. Heard great things about their bumpers. Merry Christmas eve BOB!!

 

SSO Is my front bumper of choice, now if I can only get them to make me one that has a 2" tube instead of a cutout for a winch!

 

Installed some Meso ultimate turn signals. Only broke one tab on passenger mirror. Seems to hold just as well. Might be a record time for install for me and only one little tab is quite impressive.

Nice upgrade.

 

I did the OEM battery died in 22 months mod today! No biggie dealer replaced for free.

 

Need to install.

 

Went and gave it quick bath to get all the mud I accumulated when I went to the motocross track off of it. Got home, and the tires looked like this:

I always thought my neighbor was kidding when he said, “you keep washing that, you’ll take the paint off”.
I'm going to attribute it to new tires and having mud on them for almost a week. Got out the new bottle of tire & rubber cleaner from 303 (which I honestly wasn’t planning on using til spring), and gave it a try. A little bit of effort (albeit more than I really wanted to do on Christmas Eve) they came out good enough for now. No need for tire shine, since it’s gonna snow in a couple days...but I’ll take it

 

Regular ol 303 is all I use on my tires. I dislike that fake shine that lasts 10 miles before it attracts dirt like a 3 year old boy. Wash tires well and brush on (I use a cheap paint brush) and then wipe down. This seems to last for months with no clinging dirt. Tires don't shine but they look clean and black.

 

I did a thing today. Custom shift knob.


Now, I got to figure out a way to replace that chrome end ring at the end of that shifter boot. Some folks I noticed have black one instead of chrome like mine. I like this shifter than the stupid stock one and the TRD replacement from factory.

 

Here ya go.

Installed the OEM black chrome exhaust tip and wired up my third brake light for the ARE shell. Easy day

 

Installed. Took my time. Hardest part is lining it up evenly. I'm happy with the results. I also got a CURT towing wire extension. Much easier than yanking the OE wires.

 

Very nice!!

 

Nice! Would you happen to have the item number for the Curt towing wire extension harness? Thanks!

 

Started yesterday. 20,000 mile "free" oil change and tire rotation. Had them check my tranny fluid level. You guys got me worried. It was good. Replaced driver side washer nozzle. It wouldn't spray over the wiper. All under warranty. Ended the night by ordering Caliraised hidden light bar brackets.

Woke up this morning. Ate two sausage dogs with mustard. Ordered the 32" auxbeam light bar. Spent all night debating on the Caliraised or auxbeam. Went with the battery frindlier auxbeam light.

Finished up the day by finally mocking up my version of what will be either a carbon fiber or fiberglass fuse block tray.


Bonus!!!! Mailman dropped off my hella sharptones. Fun day of grill removal in the near future.

 

They stopped selling the cheddar cheese biscuits wrapped in aluminum foil here.

 

I really thought you were talking about the hitch step at first and were being sarcastic about lining up parts.....Then I realized it was the bumper. Looks really good.

 

You been busy! Grille removal is a snap, one of the easiest things you will ever remove from your Tacoma. It'll take you less than two bites of a sausage dog to get off. By the way I love your choice of breakfast! I should be eating Chinese left over from Christmas eve by 8 or 8:30 Christmas morning.
