What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That looks nice! I was thinking about a pro grill but after seeing this I might have changed my mind!

 

Threw on the kings, UCAs, & got the rear together. Then swapped the wheels/tires.

 

Finally took the time to upgrade the tweeters (subaru tweeters) and front door speakers (Pioneer). Also installed the noico sound deadener and insulation while I had the panels off. Back doors next and the roof...

I followed Jesse Rizo's video for info on installing. Super helpful.

I did find it easier to break the carboard templates into smaller 1/3 sections to simplify install instead of leaving each piece full length.

Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to doing the rest of the truck.

 

Yesterday I did my first DIY oil change on the Tacoma since the free ones from Toyota ran out.

Who the hell designed this truck and have they never done basic maintenance before? Cartridge filters suck and they always have, but did they need to put the stupid thing on top of a skid plate? And then put the two forward bolts to the skid plate behind a trim piece where a wrench will barely fit? And what jerk cross threaded 3 of the 4 bolts that hold the thing in place? Probably the guy that did my previous, 'free' oil changes, huh?

I've never in my life had an oil change take more than 30 minutes, including cleanup, and this stupid truck took 2 hours out of my life that I'll never get back.

Does the TRD Pro skid plate with the access panel make it any easier? Or does the oil just get all over the top of the skid plate when you remove the filter? I bet I can guess the answer to that...

 

Installed red lights in my map lights (so awesome at night and doesn't damage my night vision)

Quick fists for the shovel, trying to decide how to mount the traction devices

And finally installed some plugs in the bed that will be hooked up constant to my second battery.. when I finally install my second battery..

I also mounted this little 120V heater so that when the Dog is traveling with me in really cold temps I can give her a little more heat with the touch of a button

 

That's killer! Maybe black out the center of the bumper.

I may steal this idea but in a little different direction...

 

Another vote for that's bad ass!!! I really like it!

 

Is this a kit/what is the bulb type? Been trying to change my footwell lights but haven’t seen any info on it.

 

Installed Meso stage 1. What an incredible upgrade.

 

Me too. Way better

 

The kit is one from Autozone. I plan on changing it to something different. I got something cheap to test the location and output. It's straight forward, the hard part was figuring out the +&- and wire color in the A pillar.

 

Did you put the leds in the stock halogen headlight housing?

 

Got my 40" @Baja Designs S8 Installed

 

I have a coworker with one of those super lifted f250s with big white rims and white front end lol I love the look of the truck especially at night because he has lights on the tires.

 

No... just no.

 

Lol to each their own it looks nice on his truck. I would never do it, not would I ever lift a truck that high

 

Actually... I think it looks pretty damn good. I thought about maybe doing that but wasn’t sure how’d it look. I ordered. Pro Grill. But yours looks great man.

 

Finished making my harness for my overhead switches.
There are 4 switches up there -
- Driving lights (yellow on light bar)
- Spot lights (white on light bar)
- Rear lights (bumper mounted)
- ? (switch is a ? and says "push to turn something on") I dont know what this switch will be for yet, but it will probably have a wire run to the bed, then capped off... it will be for Halloween or Christmas decorations in the bed or just random things I need to run with 12v in the back.

 

Got Wilpeaks 265/75/16:

 

Details on the hood decals?
