What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I try to control what I can! Too bad life isn't perfect and everything isn't within your control 100% of your life, otherwise it would be boring

 

Thanks

 

Yea I definitely like those better. Mine aren't as nice as that but I will take it as it was a cheap fix thanks to @CBoy808.

 

It's the same stock white one. I popped it off and wrapped it. Very cheap and just took time and lots of patience.

 

I just had mine wrapped when I got my windows tinted. But I’m gonna cut it off when my bumper gets here

 

Why it didn’t come that way from the factory is beyond me. I like having the orange turns myself

 

Yes, I love the amber turn signal in the back to! Can you provide the link on this? @Ennui

 

Did you install yourself? I have had this sitting around for about a year to install and have not done it yet. Have not found any good tutorials on youtube or anything. Thanks.

 

Unless you get a locking hitch pin they will just pull the whole thing, won't they?

 

My 2017 Tacoma door & tailgate are keyed the same. The only gripe I have is that the key turns clockwise to unlock the door and counterclockwise to unlock the tailgate. Throws me for a loop every time (because I don't access the tailgate very often & I forget).

Yes, mine is a manual.
And I am also very glad NOT to have any key fob. (No Civic fob either, but wife's CR-v has one.)
I would have gone with crank windows and manual mirror adjustment if I had been given those options. (Yep, Civic has 'em). Taco does not have a self-dimming/compass/temperature type mirror, no auto-on lights ('cept the DRLs are auto-activated w/ the parking brake), no blinkers in the mirrors, no TSS components in bumpers or grill, no wireless charger, no heated seats, etc.
All electrical add-ons that I have installed run through a separate power bank so that I don't jeopardize the trucks sensitive electronics. I also bought extra warranty on the electronics - but that was mostly due to the high cost of component replacement.
I use electrical items but I try hard to not rely solely on battery power. Like when hiking: I use a GPS but I am damn sure to have a map & compass as back-up! (Paper atlas is in the truck too.) The electrics today are mostly luxuries and we can function without them, but I will add - luxuries are sure comfortable sometimes!

 

So, i had my tonneau cover with a hole the size of a quarter, don't know how it happened and the color has faded away, it looked like a 10 yr old cover, i decided to fix the hole and paint it myself and it came out pretty good, clean it very good first, primed twice and painted

 

The tailgate key fits in it

 

Came out very nice.

I bought a VIOFO A119 about 3 months ago and so far so good. It has GPS and some insanly high resolution. Image quality is excellent.

 

I don’t generally like aftermarket wheels, but those are nice and understated.

 

That looks great !

Just curious, but what primer and paint did you use?

 

You might really like Tulster Holsters, they are my go to holster provider. I ran the gammut of holsters before finding them. Now they are all I buy. I am planning on doing the same thing with the Victory MOLLE panels. How do you like your XDS45. That thing is a hand cannon, I toned mine down a bit with some Talon Grips, but I still don't like it. IMO the barrel/slide is too small for such a big round. But I do like the small print it has. I am so used to my H&K VP9 that I pretty much don't care if it prints once in a while. That being said I probable going to sell the XDS45 and my Keltec KSG...only so I can buy another gun or two
