What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very cool. I spent most of my life involved with the Scouts and we did a lot of "dump cakes". They're to die for especially in a environment where you would not expect such great food. Finding a comfort zone in the woods is one of the greatest things in life. Period.
Thanks Bob.

Edit: For the record, a "Rivnut" (as I call it) may be the single most genius invention of the fabricator nation. LMAO

 

A beautiful place, great climbing....love it. Short story;
The first time I went there was in 1969 with my brother to do some climbing. We drove from Washington DC and got there around 11pm. It was dark, and when we got out of the car, the smell of pot, and the sound of Joni Mitchell was echoing through the woods....lol...Those were the days.

Edit; Seneca Rocks was used as a training center for the Mountain Troops for WWII. The rocks are scattered with old military "pitons" used by the troops. (or at least was scattered)

 

I plan to go on a trip as well. I am planning to turn my truck into a camping truck. Such as adding a pop up tent, a few kitchen stuff, etc. (of course including the recovery stuff such as maxtrax set, etc) Once all that done, I plan to go somewhere..

 

If you do a after thoughts write up on the rear disc conversion. Interested in that.

 

Friday she got an oil, oil filter, and air filter change, even rotated tires, and did some “rust proofing” and my favorite part but Haven’t installed yet.. but picked up a set of the cast aluminum step boards yesterday!

ATF fluid and diff fluid changes this week probably! And transfer case at a later date. Doing my own 30k service!

 

That is beautiful. Looked it up and saw some pics. Would love to visit there. Didnt realize some of our troops trained there. That's cool.

 

Ended up putting another couple layers Of spray on the bolts. Probably 6ish total coats. The first couple bolts I put back on the wheel the paint chipped off the bolt head (I realized I was over tightening the bolts) The rest of the bolts I did not tighten them down so much and the paint did not chip. I just finger snugged them down and then put the slightest amount of extra pressure with the socket on a screw driver attachment..(just a tiny bit further than finger tight, tried to get an exact torque spec but couldn’t find my small torque wrench) I think it will be plenty tight how I did it, as they were not on very tight when I removed them... If I were to do it again maybe I would try a tougher paint, like undercoating on a couple of the bolts to see how that held up. Still Very happy with how this turned out though. Just had to re spray a couple of the bolts I messed up at the beginning. Good luck with yours.

 

Man, Thanks for the update. Looks freaking amazing!!!

 

Slapped on the Sport/Pro hood that I recently picked up . Pro decals should arrive this week to finish her up

 

Is that the small print or large?

 

Where did you buy this from?

 

Man I miss NB

 

Raptor style grille lights on and off. See @RyanDCLB for mounts and got the lights on eBay. Mounts are not a perfect fit. I had to do some Dremeling to get them to fit properly. Hot wire ran to the INJ fuse under the hood. They come on with the key as do my DRL's.

 

Brand new to Tacoma, so apologies for a newbie question - what brand wheel is that? Gorgeous!!

 

I found a great way to mount my Maxtrax and Gas

 

Stealth Custom Series! They’re the best. Model is Ray10. Love mine even years after purchase

 

Thanks, and no worries. They are SCS Ray 10 16x8. Found them in stock on Freeman Toyota website

 

Bought a '20 Cement, TRD Sport, 4x4, Tech pack. LOVE THIS THING. Currently looking at storage options - contractor here.
I'm sure it is around here somewhere - but ability to get rear seats to flip up and/or out of way (vs forward) for floor storage would be great.
Low profile, black toolbox options being considered. And then, of course, 2" lift/wheels/tires.... Choices, choices!!!

 

What size are you running?

 

17x8.5 Ray10s and the tires are 285/75/17
