What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up a sport hood today, getting painted next week along with the scoop insert.

Adjusted my coilovers this morning for the Toyo Open Country MT 285/75R17 I got coming in today.

 

I found this knife in a clearance bin at tractor supply for under $10

$23 Smith & Wesson SW608BLS 8.5in High Carbon S.S. Folding Knife with 3.4in Serrated Drop Point Blade and Aluminum Handle for Tactical, Survival and EDC

I thought it was a great addition to the taco because of the glass breaker and strap cutter.

 

Finally got my auxiliary fuse panel put in.

 

Didn’t want running boards but wifey is 5ft tall and keeps complaining it’s hard for her to get in the truck. Got a deal from @Denteen and he even drove down from Bakersfield to San Diego! (thank you bro!)

 

I installed my Chevy Silverado bumper on my bed today........ So apparently shipping labels got switched. My bed rack is in Houston Texas while I have this guy’s bumper for his Silverado.

 

Rainy day so decided to mount Plano case and test to see who waterproof it is. Will go for a drive later as the storms continue and see.

 

I’ve thought about it as well but would like to see some tangible benefits before spending that much

 

Installed OEM fog lights on my SR access cab utility long bed today, using a modified version of Nitori’s SR OEM fog light mod:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/nitoris-oem-sr-foglight-mod.451495/
I was able to access everything needed for the separate switch OEM mod interior wiring simply by removing the left switch panel, no need to take off lower dash panel or kick panel. Everything works as designed for OEM style - fog light symbol on dashboard lights up when fog light button is pressed with low beams on, fog lights turn off when high beams are on.

 

Installed some caliraised sliders for my big box.. i think they look better than pred steps..

btw im selling my pred steps if anyone’s interested

 

Added a LED light bar and ditch lights!
Yes I put the switch in upside down on purpose, I could not find a dual light switch with the layout, in the US (on I ordered from China never made it here). It’s blue when the truck is on and green when each light is pressed in. Just have to wait till night to adjust the beams.

 

This weekend was busy.

 

come join the rest of us over at the "show off your Aux fuse panels" page!

 

Got the bed lights,switch and wiring all installed.
Works great!

After that gave it a bath.

 

Got a backrack to work with my custom bed rails that allow for a tonneau cover to flip all the way up!
Lots of fluffing around but i can't stop staring at her from behind, she looks sooo good
i just need to add in the old-school-styled KC lights to the top



Fully adjustable, can slide it right to the bed of the truck as secondary support if i'm hauling anything like a canoe

And threw on the SSO slimline bumper back onto the front after cleaning up the old mess that was my first paint job. EZliner from Canadian tire turned out really well

 

Did my 20K oil change and cleaned it up inside and out. Changed out the plastic filter housing to the aluminum one. As lot lot of people have mention, the dealer installed the plastic one on so tight I thought it was going to break before it came off. I'd go confront them about it, but for one thing it wouldn't do any good and would be a waste of time, and for another, they might sic the gorilla that installed it on me and I'm pretty sure if he got a hold of me I'd be done for with that kind of strength.

Ohhh shiney

 

I’m Houston. I’ll gladly pick it up and hang onto it for you.

 

Installed the OEM roof rack today. Got it second hand from a TW user. Shout out to @jnolan122 for the expert packaging and great deal on this slightly used roof rack.

 

best looking roof rack IMO

 

Agreed. I don’t have much use for loading multiple items on a regular basis. I’ll mainly use this rack a few times a year for my paddle boards and that’s about it.
