What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

By the time I've been leaving work lately, it's dark. And driving the backroads to avoid the parking lot on the interstate I found the blue LED indicator next to the transmission selector (for Drive) to be too bright/distracting.
Solution: I put a piece of electrical tape over it for now. May look into pulling the center apart to find a more elegant solution when the weather warms up, but this works for now.

Oh, and installed a BlackVue DR900S-2CH dashcam and Power Magic Ultra Battery (B-124X) battery back-up last week after a few too many close calls with idiots cutting me off and tailgating (especially when the speed limit drops from 55 to 20 for a school zone).

Still on the immediate list: hood struts (received for Christmas, hasn't been warm enough long enough to take the time I'd want to take for installing).

 

Did some trimming to stop the tire rub.
I see so many hack job fender liner cutting, that I just HAD to do a better job. The goal was to make it appear as factory as possible. I have 33” tires with a 2.75” lift.

 

Beautiful. Always wanted a 65 convertible but alas, I waited too late. One in good condition is now out of my reach.

 

Nicely done, shows pride in workmanship!!

Tell me you got this off the interweb? Palease!

 

Where did you get the grill surround. Been thinking about doing the same thing to my Super White Taco. I thought that there would be too much of a cut line between the metallic chrome grill and the white trim, but now that I have seen yours, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Now if I could just figure out how to black out the chrome "T" in the center.

 

That is badass! I concur on the vents. Perhaps down the road.....

 

Of course it's pretty!! Anything in/on a TACO looks good! Even a caveman...

 

Where did you get the adapter for that hurst? Do you have pictures from the side to show how it looks?

How did you secure the shifter boot?

 

Try this OE part number...

$154 52711-04010 Toyota Genuine Parts - Moulding, Fr Bumper (52711-04010)

52711-04010

I'll be doing this too...checking my local dealer if they have any to save S/H.

 

If you hold out, I will sell you my grille surround for $50 plus shipping. I'm just waiting for my Pro grille.

How do you like the BlackVue? I am going to install a Thinkware this weekend and am curious if you will post a photo of your cam. Did you hardwire it in?

 

So what you're saying is that you've seen me out and about in my Tacoma?

 

I bought the Hurst T Handle from Core Shifters online. They include the black rubber grommet that holds the factory chrome plastic piece. After you pop the grommet in you just push it down till it bottoms out.

I dont have any pictures from the side on my phone. When o get home from work I'll send you a couple.

 

congratulations!!

 

shouldn’t have done all that work if you’re considering to trade it in

 

That's a carton in a day and a half. I smoke a pack a day and that's too many. How the...? It's not even possible!

 

Drove it too Monster Jam Anaheim.
smallest truck in the lot haha
my son : "daddy we should get that one..its bigger than yours" what have I created hahaha...
when he is 4...I'll teach him what MallCrawler means lol
