So update on the king mattress transport. lol Its just going to be the mattress which is memory foam. think ill be able haul that in my short bed? haha may need to figure it out this weekend when i pick it up this weekend. just want to know if anyone has just done the king memory foam in the short bed.

If it’s memory foam chances are it’ll be rolled and plastic sealed in a box, tailgate down, strap it in, good to go..

 

same with mine except it's just the T/S marker in the mirrors.

 

What is her dream truck?

 

I like those Rims The center caps i do not like they are to big I was thinking about them for my Army Green Taco Do you know if you can get different center caps or use the TRD caps from my factory rims

 

Checking in into this thread I’ve done a few things it’s been a good minute. Here Is the list of what I’ve done so far and some photos.....

truck got lifted 2 weeks ago

Lift- front: ReadyLift 6112 up front with 0.5 spacer(kit is preassembled from ready lifts with the spacer already for a true 3 inch lift)

Rears: 5100s in the back with 2 inch block. The lift kit didn’t come with 5100s I just wanted to upgrade my suspensions all around.

Stock wheels but I did add 1.5 spacer for a more aggressive stance. Wheels are wrapped with 265/75/16 BFGoodrich KO2. Now don’t burn me in this heat me out lol. I had no intentions on lifting my truck any time soon so I’ve had these KO2 for about 20k miles already. Haven’t decided to upgrade yet until I figure what wheel and tire combo I want. Which I already have an eye out for them.

debadged the the chrome Tacoma emblems and added the TRDPRO(off-road) emblems on Again I’m not trying to pose as a fake pro just like how these badges flow nicely with the bed decals and the Quick sand color.


Added the TRD PRO Grille with some heritage rising sun decals color matched the Toyota letters to my truck and added raptor grille lights

light bar- I got the Rough Country 30 inch light bar i had boughten this light bar practically new from a buddy that sold his 3rd gen for $80 I know dirty cheap so I pulled the trigger on it output is great and love the flush look that it gives the front end.

in route- I recently place my order for some Cali Raised Ditch lights I got the OEM switch to go with for a much cleaner look. They should be shipping sometime next week.


Also removed the mud flaps


now on to the photos

 

The kit I bought has red, yellow and white lights. Not sure if I was going to add them to the topper or save them form a motorbike trailer I’m wishing for. I digress...the link? Here you go: 30 Pcs TMH 3/4 Inch Surface Mount 10 pcs Amber + 10 pcs Red + 10 pcs White LED ClearanceMarkers Bullet Marker lights, side marker lights, led marker lights, led trailer marker lights

$20 Ledvillage Pack of 30 3/4" Mini Round 10 Amber + 10 Red + 10 White 3 LED Trailer Side Marker Button Lights Clearance Signal Lamp Boat Lorry Truck Pickup Bus 12V DC

The diameter is a bit larger than the diamond pattern on my OR grille. So... I used a large bit (7/8” I think) Using such a large bit chewed away large amounts of grille... not a pleasant feeling, but cleaned too the holes w/ light sandpaper and the leds have a rubber gasket trim that snugly fits. About 2 weeks of use and no issues.

 

That looks awesome. What's the part # please?

 

what did you use for a spacer? I always cringe closing my hood due to the contact from the redline struts

 

You may be replying to my post, I'm not sure.

But the center caps on methods do suck, there are slim versions and others out there but it seems like they are all on backorder.

 

just finished the roof rack install

Please post a picture when you get it strapped so we can see how this unraveled.

 

Here's how NOT to tie it down.

My CBI T3 bumper with the low bar doesn’t affect the sensor

 

Why is the word "Weather" missing?

Banished some more exterior chrome.

Was wondering if my Switchpro would be in the way of hood struts


Anyone have any ideas?

 

I'm a fan of the look of both of these. Lifts/specs?

 

Gave it a bath to get the mud off and then brought to an automated car wash for a touch up just to watch the damn thing beat it’s arm off of my front end and only wash one side of the truck.

Oh well this is the side it didn’t clean.
