What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Was able to get the bumper, lights and winch installed. Having issues with the lights right now. Winch is working great. Going to start a thread to get help on the fog lights.



thread for the light help, if any of y’all are experts:

Custom job. They are very time consuming to make.

@20tacoma17 may be able to give you some pointers if you decide to tackle the job yourself.

 

I installed them a couple nights ago and feel like mine are super dim compared to the oem. Just changed the alignment on them. Hoping that helps.

 

I'm looking at this too and there's a kit someone sells just for the scoop. I'll see if I can find it later.

 

Check my this thread. Has more pics. The tweeters are 1 3/8” which are really big tweeters. I wanted plenty of volume without driving them too hard. I could adjust them to most any size though with some fairly simple tweaks. https://www.tacomaworld.com/posts/22358537/

 

That looks great. One hint, I plasti-dipped the logo on my wheel hubs (blue for my LEO son). Videos I watched showed people using a toothpick to easily pick the unwanted Plasti-dip from the logo or lettering. I found this "T" logo is rounded and the toothpick wouldn't work. I used an exacto knife to trim around the "T" edges.

 

Added my Subaru tweeters today. The difference in sound is very obvious. Sounds more like it is sharper and cleaner sounding than before.

 

Hard to see without a POV shot, pause, but they are a noticeable difference. I live on the edge of country living and maybe it's more of a difference without all the street lights

 

that’s awesome. I had the same seat for my son until he outgrew it

 

Made the first personalized touches to my cement grey 2020 today. Not very grandeous but the bigger items will follow after I study up on this forum.

 

I'm not a fan of ditch lights either, I use my roof lights as ditch lights.

 

I pulled the entire grill and surrounding bezel out to change the grill and discovered there is a flat plastic part inside that helps direct the air into the rad so I used this air dam as a mounting surface. But in order to firm up the plastic I attached a steel bar on the underside of the plastic and then fastened the lights through the plastic and into the steel. Here is a pic of the type of steel I used. It is bar that you use for mounting shelving brackets on. I just cut it to length and fastened it to the plastic with about 6 small SS bolts.

 

Nice use of those brackets.

 

Did you put the older style tails on? Looks so much better. Nicely done.

 

What wheels are those? I swear they seem to look a lot like my OE wheels, but CHROME.

 

Thanks! Yeah, I found a brand new set someone took off a 2019 Sport for $50 on Facebook Marketplace. The 2020 lights look okay on some colors, but I didn't care for them with the blue. I'm also having the rear bumper painted blue this week to finish off the rear of the truck.

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina. Enjoy the new truck !

Bye bye chrome....

 

If you look you could probably find someone near you that has a sport that would love to swap you for the black ones you have
