What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ran it through a touchless car wash and hit the "record" button:

 

Yep.

You have the same idea that I do. I'm only going to cut all that plastic and replace my rear bumper after I have scraped the hell out of it.

Yeap.

 

I'd like to see what you do. I haven't found a solution to mount them to the bed with out the mounts ripping out. Especially when they are full.

Yeah. I might road my truck a little hard.

 

This truck is beautiful. Period.

Is that under the armrest??

 

For 2.5 gallons of gas and water (each side of the bed), I'm using this can mount: https://wavianusa.com/collections/accessories/products/steel-fuel-can-holder

Bolting each one to the bed rail with the Rago bracket: I should be done by tomorrow

I'll also be doing a water pump mod to the water can here (2.5 gal to stay below the bedside), pump mod here: https://www.margygreen.com/Blog-Adventure/Sceptre-Water-Can

 

Still look great. Made 1 adjustment the 2nd day. Have not touched them in 4 years.

 

I pulled mine out today, blue sea replacement should be here tomorrow, can you tell me which wire from the lighter is the positive?

 

Put my Carhart seat savers on.

 

A front end refresh!
Dissent offroad aluminum bumper, factor55 flat link, comeup seal gen2 winch and the new rigid industries 4” sae fog lights!

 

If you look inside the lighter there is a small square cut out in the bottom that you can see and one above it that you cannot see, stick a pick in there and press pretty hard to release the clips holding the lighter in, it doesn’t just pop right out you have to really work it.

 

But those jerrycans hold 5 gallons, not 2.5 gallons. That's roughly 35lbs of fuel for a full can, plus the weight of the can.

Are you only filling them half way or doing something else? Why waste the space if you are not filling them up all the way. Am I missing something?

 

Im thinking to use 2 bolts on the tracks and the big bed bolt.

 

Sorry, I should have made it more clear. They make both the cans and holder in 2.5 and 5 gallons. I'm using the 2.5 gallons to keep them below the bedside. For the 5 gallon cans, you'd probably use the 5 gallon holder and possibly 2 per can.

I'll share photos of my install tomorrow

Edit: install pics here

 

Another masterpiece from @JLee

 

I don't recall, maybe purple, you should be able to tell or use a tester

 

The only thing that could make the center console organizer better is if it clipped to the lid when lifted

 

Thanks. Got it. I have 5 gallon cans and I'm looking to mount those somewhere securely

I look forward to your install pics.

 

Just an FYI for those getting the eBay handles...they are not on par with the OEM Toyota SR Black Handles which cost THE SAME $33 bucks!
I have had the eBay handles for a few years now and the other day my driver side handle failed - got stuck in the open position and wouldn't spring back. Turns out the spring mechanism is a bit different in the eBay handle than the OEM handle. The OEM handle has a better fitting spring and all around better way of functioning.
I know cause I ended up trying to repair the eBay handle - which I did - but I can tell it will not last very long. I ended up buying a replacement OEM handle and saw the difference.
So, save yourself the regret and just get the OEM handles - after all they cost THE SAME!
