What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think I might have to do something about the fogs and low beams. VERY disappointed. Love a lot of things about the truck but the lights suck. I wish I would’ve had these bed lights and auto tailgate lock on my 2012. Can’t tell you how big of a relief that is in the dark in the middle of the woods...!

 

I purchased from eBay. Genuine Toyota parts. Btw for 2020

Big thanks to @MESO for making some killer products!!!

 

Getting caught up a bit on what I did to my third gen

AVS hood protector-I was on the fence about this one but I got an Amazon open box deal. Can’t beat 15 bucks

IJDMtoy Ditch lights for Christmas

TVD vinyl for the steering wheel. It’s the little things

AJT climate rings and vent rings

Meso ultimate dome- damn map lights are always out of stock

Meso puddle pods

and wired up new headlights on my sons “Toyota”

 

I asked this group about "helper“ leaf springs a couple of months ago, really appreciated the input, and finally got some installed today.

Here are the findings :

Height road to wheel well; stock suspension, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box: 35 5/16”

Height road to wheel well; with helper springs, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box: 36 3/16”

Height road to wheel well, w/helper spring, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box, scuba tanks (317lbs ), 20lbs lead weight, BCD (12lbs), 7 gallons water (56lbs), Rocky Mounts bike rack/bike ( 81 lbs) TOTAL LOAD WEIGHT 486 lbs: 34 7/16”

I don't have a ton to say about their performance yet. I'll need to drive it around for a few days, but I'll be sure to report back.

He didn’t want to get busted for selling stolen parts.

 

Good info on the suspension improvement and pics as well. I went with the RMAS system instead.

 

“let’s waste more material, resources, etc to make a new plate..”

DMV logic, So dumb. I get $50 for a custom plate upfront, but to make me come in and waste everyone’s time (and money) if I don’t want to pay the yearly fee literally just shows why this state is in so much debt lol.

i bet you half the people who get a custom plate go back to a regular one when registration time comes anyways.

 

In Ontario we just purchase a yearly sticker that goes on the plate and this can be done online in advance and then it gets mailed.

 

Installed my morimoto xb headlights, which had a dead section in the DRL.. and then promptly removed them...

So Nothing... i did nothing to my truck today..

 

what are you referring to exactly? I’m talking about actually having to surrender my black and yellow plates for regular plates when not wanting to renew it, i.e. - them wasting tax payer money to give/make me new plates.

I’m not talking about registration - that gets sent in the mail here too

 

Finally got around to waxing it after a month

 

Fine looking truck

 

Could you not keep your plates as a "souvenir"?

 

Then I misunderstood what you were describing.

 

In Florida, depending on what plate your personalization goes on it’s 50-75 bucks and something like $15 a year on top of your normal registration fees. I ordered mine, still have at least a few more weeks till it gets here. The lady at the tax collectors office told me the length of time depends on how many people are in prison at the time you order it since they’re making the plates

 

Why I just buy shit new, because people suck

 

is that flag a raised decal or a magnet? i like it

 

You never get good deals at the police station. All of the good deals happen out behind the bar.

 

I am with you
