What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

changed them out again… this time for sequentials. The switchbacks will go up for sale

 

I appreciate your help, friend!

 

Thanks for your input and help!

 

Welcome to TW M8!

 

Good stuff! That picture warms my heart. Its great to see you and your family enjoying it.

 

Finally get to see what the cab guard looks like installed. Thanks! Any thoughts good/bad on the DiamondBack cover/guard combo?

 

Got knife?

 

Looks like you worked on that for a while. That’s why I’m sorry to say that for ME that’s a big fat NOOO

 

I didn’t want to be the first to say it... also glad, he said what it was.

 

Installed a lazy man’s bed light. Wife bought these little AAA battery operated push lights for a few closets in our house and I figured it’d be a good way to see my gear on fire calls in the dark. Eventually I’ll upgrade but this works well for now!

 

We have Weather Tech in 2 cars and I have the Toyota OEM all weather mats in my Tacoma. The Weather Tech mats are fine, the mats are thinner and more of a plastic feel (slippery) than rubber. All the rear Weather Tech mats seem to curl around the edges. The older set is harder to clean and a dusty gray unless you apply some dressing. The Tacoma mats are rubber, they are more flexible and thicker. The Weather Tech do cover more surface, but I prefer the Toyota mats. They look and feel better, they handle the snow and wet conditions just fine. All the mats are about the same at the gas pedal.

 

You should see the way this truck cuts through traffic..

 

Any fear of water leaking and damaging the light?

 

Keeping up with the wiring OCD. Pulled the current SPOD connections and added labels done in heatshrink tuning on my label maker.

 

Thanks for the info. I do appreciate it. I have the Toyota all weather mats now and they work okay. I was mainly wanting a little more coverage and the passenger mat to stay in place. I did put some heavy duty Velcro on the passenger mat and it works for now...

 

That's pretty sweet! OCD I can get behind.

 

Pros: aesthetically I love it, it doesn’t add any noise while driving and it is actually a lot sturdier than it looks. I can’t wait to make good use of this thing.
The cons: the price tag was a little hard to swallow but I’m pleased with it anyways, it took a bit longer to install than they suggest, mostly I think because of my trepidation in drilling into my Diamondback XD also, I had to order heavier duty gas springs for the cab panel because it is too heavy with the rack installed. However, Diamondbacks customer service rep was awesome and will be shipping me new ones with a greater lift rating for free, and the entire email exchange was done within 20 minutes. I will just have to wait a few weeks to get the better springs.
Overall my experience With Diamondback has been awesome, I definitely feel I made the right choice.

 

Looks good but how do you access the front half of your diamondback?

Edit: after reading further it obviously is attached to and moves with the cover.
I like it.

 

Tried the heavy duty velcro and it worked for a little while, but its giving up on me now. I just ordered a set of clips that look similar to what's on the drivers side from eBay.
