What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My first post...I picked up my new 2020 Tacoma on 1/17/2020. Since then, I've been making little improvements:

1. Toyota 3 inch chrome step bars
2. Extang Tri-fecta 2.0 tonneau cover
3. Center console organizer (JDMCAR)
4. The Gasshole by MESO
5. Extang eLight 500 light

 

Congratulations and welcome to TW Bob!

 

I scratched my tailgate also after touching up the paint it left a high spot which stuck out like a sore thumb. I had to gently sand and then buff it out now you can't even notice.

The Extang Trifecta tonneau is the way to go. And the Gasshole is pretty handy also. Meso's coin holders are pretty neat too. Welcome aboard Bob! Don't see to many silver sky access cabs on this thread.

 

This is so cool, haven’t seen it before but will definitely do something similar at some point.

 

Congrats Mark, it's a beauty! Enjoy it!

which color did you go with?

 

Recently installed some Hikari Ultra LED Low beams and some amber LED fog bulbs in my '20 OR. What a difference! I can actually see at night, and the amber fogs are great when the snow is falling. A nice cheap addition is a center console organizer off Amazon, much more useful space now.

I also installed a pro grille w/raptor lights, very easy install - wiring couldn't be any simpler. I’ve no issues with TSS since install.

Swapped some General Grabber Arctics on the factory wheels for winter duty. Currently planning my summer setup. I’m thinking Replika 213’s w/ General Grabber ATX in 265/70/17. Just want to be 100% sure they won’t rub when flexing without a lift.

 

I had the same thing on my MGM 2014. Backed into a shopping cart and put a small but deep dent in the tailgate. Tried paintless dent removal but it wouldn’t work. It would either leave a bump or a crater. Then I got estimates from body shops. Wow! It was going to be $750-$850 to repair. I put some touch up paint on it to make sure that it wouldn’t rust then stuck a Saints fleur de lis on it and viola, no more visible dent! I wanted the fleur de lis anyway. So, problem solved for $20.


That’s it on the right when I was trading it in on the new one on the left.

 

I GOT MINE !! 2020 ACab SR SX , Red! 4x4 Black overfenders, Black out mags, etc. Bought / installing ; Front carpet Rugs, Sill protectors, Hitch, Hitch wiring, Tonneau cover, bed carpet. Traded in 2012 Taco Base, 4x4 17K Miles.

 

Thanks!!! Now I just need to get up the courage to drill those holes!!

 

Curious, what holes?

 

If you're referring to the holes you’re “supposed” to drill for a bed cover drain hose then don't. Just buy some hose barbs from home depot. I believe it’s 3/8x1/4, I’m not sure though I’d have to check when I get home. Thats what i did and it works fine and i didn’t have to drill into the bed of my brand new truck.

 

Installed the Lomax hard tri-fold tonneau, installed a MESO Gashole, put rubber mats in all of the various wells that match the red Pro striping and put on a new flag license plate cover. next up, Raptor lights and hood struts.

 

@Devious6
I have a BakFlip MX4. My cover came with instructions to open up the drain holes and install the drain tubes, I didnt find it necessary. The only water that I found of any consequence was water that got in during high pressure laser washes because I have yet to install the tailgate seal that's sitting in my mod pile. The only water that I found getting in the bed from the cover were 2 small 1/4" gaps at the hinge right behind the cab next to the side rails and for the most part 2 small pieces of adhesive backed rubber gasket material took care of that.

Edit: personally I would wait until you had a good rain and assess whether or not you actually needed the drain lines. In my case I found that they would only interfere with full use of the bed.

 

Don't let them scare you . The drill bit stopper is your friend.
