What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice man! How much $ did that set you back?

 

Yeah, I'm really holding out hope he does OEM gray like the climate rings, 2020s come with more stuff that color than just the climate rings. I like that color a lot. I 3d printed myself some glove box insert letters in black was able to use some rub n buff in silver and black to get a very close to OEM gray on them. I have been seriously debating buying the climate rings, 4x4, start, and shift ring in black and doing the same with them.

Duplicolor makes MGM paint available in aerosol cans. Duplicolor is available at most auto parts stores. I bought mine on Amazon. The color is an exact match to the OEM paint on my MGM Tacoma. I will be using it to color match my TRD Pro Skid Plate to my body paint.
Replacement bumper end caps are available from several sources including your Toyota dealer. I bought mine (that I know longer intend to use) from Rock Auto. They were significantly cheaper than those from the dealership. Very good quality and as far as I can tell they equal or exceed the quality of the OEM bumper end caps.
There are also end caps under the brand name BumperShellz. They fit over your existing end caps and I believe available in colors to match existing paint.
You may want to just paint your existing end caps using the Duplicolor spray paint. Should you go that route they will require some prep work before you paint using 400 grit wet & dry paper dipped in a little dish soap and water to take the shine off the chrome and allow the paint to adhere properly. Wet & Dry paper is inexpensive and available at most auto parts stores, probably available on Amazon as well. It's more labor intensive but it will save you a bunch of cash.
Just thought you would like to know that there are numerous options out the for you. Hope this helps.

 

The topper was a chunk of change, about $2800, but it makes the truck much more functional for me. Got lucky and found the exact roof rack set up I needed on CL for $200!

 

I used the duplicolor Barcelona red for my interior bezel, worked well and matched perfectly.

To piggyback back on what you said, duplicolor has a filler/primer that would work well for the bumper caps after sanding. Clear coats after paint obviously.

I was lazy with the bezel and just used an adhesion promotor primer after cleaning as opposed to any prep sanding.

 

Zombie Green!

 

I tried duplicolor on some spare plastic, I couldn’t get it to come out to my liking.

I think bumpershellz gave up on MGM. I wonder if it is cause of all the different shades even if you use OEM paint and leading to complaints. Paint shops around here didn’t want to deal with it mostly or charge a ton for it and wanted my truck while they painted it.

 

Looks good. Always more satisfying when you do something yourself particularly when it turns out well. Since most of us seem to suffer from OCD things almost always turn out well!

 

Caliraised tail lights. I really like the look over the 2020 clear and chrome. They even have DRLs to match my front LEDs.

 

Wish MESO would run those switchbacks again

 

@ Qauthority
Nice tail lights

 

Every time I go to their website, the items I'm looking for are sold out..Bummer!

 

Where do I get the bracket and tool holders?

 

thank you sir

 

Those look awesome. I am not a big fan of the 2020 tail lights

 

There is a thread here about mounting HiLift Jacks as well as tools like shovels, axes, Pulaski's, ect. Use the search box at the top of the thread to look around.
The mounting bracket I will let the OP tell you about.
The rubber mounts that grip the tools are Quick Fist mounts. They come in different sizes and are available on eBay, Amazon and others sites.
Do a little research here on TW and you will find that there is an abundance of information available for mounting tools in your Tacomas bed.
Welcome to TW!

 

Awesome thanks!

 

Cali Raised Offroad sliders put on.

 

Finally got around to making the form for my powertray type fuse block holder. Decided on going with black carbon fiber instead of fiberglass. Hopefully i can get it layed up this weekend. May be a while if i don't. My weekends are packed for the next month. Boys to the vet this weekend. Marc Broussard in concert in saxapahaw next weekend. Mandatory work weekend after that. Then a trip to chilhowie for my daughter's enrollment in western carolina honors college. Guess i am a catamounts fan now! Geaux Catamounts! That doesn't sound right. At least they are purple.

 

Paint decon and correction followed by ceramic coating (CQ UK 3.0), had them even coat the OEM tonneau and instrument cluster that scratches like crazy.
