What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Here's my 4x4 Sport. Just added the aftermarket Pro grill. Lift, +2 AAL, wheels, tires, and hood sticker up next. Then eventually hood scoop light bar and lower bumper light bar. Then I am done and will start saving for the next toy, Yamaha YXZ.

 

I kept looking around as it irked me that a place in Illinois was charging sales tax when I was in Texas, and I came across this other dealer that does not charge tax even though they are also in Illinois....a small savings but it all adds up!

Meso customs and some other after market companies make some pretty clean bezel replacements that I'm most likely going to purchase down the road. Its just that for $150 I might as well paint them and save the money for bigger and better things.

 

New key fob and coin tray!

Wet okole has 2 new fans

 

Yes, that was my thoughts as well. The disassembly is not hard and you can glue the bezels back in for the A/C vents....The Cupholder chrome is the real issue and has gotten me a few times during my limited ownership ( < 500 Miles so far)...

Also, the issue is for MT trucks. The MESO customs is only for the Auto trans trucks, since we the happy few MT people, are fewer in numbers, selling a MT cupholder bezel does not make financial sense there really is no option out there that I am aware of....

 

Added a Memorial Day weekend appropriate sticker to me Taco today.

 

painted my grill. To cheap to buy the TRD grill!

 

Picked up a 2020 SR5 Double Cab two weeks ago. Had my eye on Tacomas for five years and finally got around to it.

Before I even left the dealership lot, I set up my dash camera from my old vehicle. I "hid" the power cable later:



The dash camera is a Viofo A119. I got it about four years ago, because someone turned right on red as I was going through a green light and I rear ended them at low speed.. and couldn't prove that they took a right on red. Never dealing with that again.

Interior LEDs are next.

 

I've been sitting on these new bedside decals for a while... It took me several attempts with a lot of elbow grease to get the sticker residue off from the stock bedside decals, and I finally accomplished that today. Cleaned the heck out of the truck, including clay and polish, then wiped down with alcohol before installing the new decals.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Finally got around to installing my OGE dual battery with Redarc BCDC and hooked it up to two 100w Renogy solar panels.

 

Looking good!!

 

How does the lift feel I’m looking into this setup

 

Swapped the KO2's for STT Pros. Going from 285 to 295, trimming wasn't too bad.

 

Thank you. I like the color contrast. Hard to see but it's cool. I'll have better pics when it's finished.

Nice 67.....or 66 Lol. It all looks good.

The steering emblem overlay seems kinda cheap to me just in plain plastic finish... so I painted it same color as the interior trim. I’m happy now how it turned out.

 

I've always wondered if that emblem gets shoved down your throat when the airbag deploys.

 

From seller named stickerman-decals on ebay

I suggest ordering at least 2 sets. It only took me 2 sets but almost a 3rd. The Toyota logo SUCKS so bad to transfer
