What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not at all oposed to a little friendly leg pulling, bring it on.
I've pulled a few here myself so I consider myself fair game. Humor is good for the soul!

 

Thanks for the reply. I don’t off road but have a 2” Eibach lift ordered. The jack never crossed my mind untill I saw your earlier post. Thanks again for the info.

 

I go back and forth on this one but on your rig it looks pretty damn good

 

Thank you. The frame was 72lbs so finished I'm thinking 125 maybe. The .060 alum is easy but the 5 doors are eighth inch.
I'm really happy because the one I was buying was $2,100 and I'm in for $800 right now.

What a great setup. Thank you for sharing this. You're getting it done on a pretty good scale here man!

Oh, A1 or it's not done...ahahahhaa And thank you for cleaning up where others should. A shame we have to do this.

Very nice.........lightweight too!

 

Since I'm not swapping out my SR5 rims anytime soon, figured I'd paint the chrome logos black to complete my full truck chrome delete.

 

You know, Nut Job Bob rhymes and has a bit of a ring to it?

 

Thank you.
Yeah, then I'll throw 500lbs of useless crap in the back and start a thread about gas mileage....lmao
And for the record, West By God Virginia is almost my favorite state. I've hot hundreds of hours climbing at Seneca Rocks..

The other part of the equation when off road.... don’t think high lift, think low terrain under the spot you need to lift.

 

Thanks buddy. I did 2 coats and it peeled right off. I did use a different spray paint tho from HD. Hopefully that's wasn't the problem. Thanks Again

 

Does anyone know if Toyota makes OEM black lug nuts for the Tacoma?

 

I took the factory sharks off the sides. Lost about 50 lbs of drag lol. I'm 6'2 and they were really getting in my way entering and especially exiting my truck. My wife and kids dont even need them to get in the truck. Heck I think it looks way better without them. Even looks like I got a little lift out of it and looks sportier to me. My 18 year old boy says ditch the mud flaps bc it looks "old man" but they are staying bc of rocks with these toyo at3's. Anyway, fun Saturday tinkering and FREE mod.

 

Got pics of finished product??

 

Still need black lug nuts, but it's one less thing that is chrome

 

Thanks for your kind words brotha!

Happy to help the cleanup process. I’m going to make a point to do this every time I go out.

I figure if I want to continue to have access to these beautiful places for free I need to step up and make sure they stay clean so we don’t lose them to the powers that be.

 

Yeah exactly I mean we did try our best but when your processing thousands of packages a week there’s a couple that just fall through the cracks.. sometimes it’s not even missing it’s just someone didn’t scan the package before shipping it out, happened all the time, but they do keep track of it and I did get chewed out a few times for missing packages but they can’t necessarily place blame one one individual person. It’s a everyone points their finger at everyone else type of deal.. however ups does have an incentive for having no missed packages which was kinda cool, I got a free mini cooler (only good thing that came from working at UPS

 

My pleasure. Always glad to help if I can.

 

I've seen aftermarket ones from somewhere. Try looking on the McGuard site they may have black locking lugnuts. Worth shot. Good luck!

 

Installed my tailgate lock, cup holder liners, OCD console organizer, and my new midrange mounts.
The old midrange mounts only allowed for a single bolt to hold them in, I got some metra adapters that fit out truck, cut the hole big enough for the 2 inch mid and then hot glued it in.
