What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

lots of trimming for sure, couldnt check stuff was stroming really bad today

 

Good to hear! I'm looking forward to them.

 

I want to know what the guy wires from the roof rack to the bumper hoops are for. Clothes drying?

 

Keeps branches from hitting the windshield when driving in the woods.

 

Ah. I see. That actually makes sense. Just never seen that before.

 

I mainly see them on jungle safari documentaries. I dont see them much in the US though.

 

really nice on these north east trails

 

Ha! One of those documentaries was where I first saw a roof top tent. Looked weird seeing a tent on top of the vehicle with a ladder up to it. Made sense... with lions, tigers, and whatever else around. Then I started hanging out here. Huh. Whaddya' know.

 

No idea how long the double sided tape will stick when the cabin is deathly hot, but airbag logo overlay from AJT Design.

 

Got mine today as well. Must have been a bunch going out at once post 4th holiday weekend haha...

 

Finished up the roof light bar install by cutting the wind fairing to size instead Of buying the one with the cut out and still having to cut to size.

 

Not today, but a while ago. Finished up building my awening

What year did this come with. I was never told about this, and have never received any notices from Toyota. But if big brother is snooping on my driving/truck, then count me out as well. I done gave up enough freedoms already, trying to keep what little is left. Mine is a 2019 TRD OFR 4Dr Short bed. Thanks.

 

Like 30 minutes. Worst part is getting the nut on the top bolt you drill. It's behind a support piece and I have big hands.

 

Installed the MESO gas cap holder. Which took all of two minutes, including finding the screwdriver on my garage workbench.

Neat little accessory.

Didn't need it, but wanted it.

 

WOW !!! I paid $435 for my Depo headlights around 2.5 years ago. I like them and they have had no issues but for $1200 you could probably find a good pair of actual Pro headlights. That is crazy money.

 

yea I remember when they were that price too lol I should have pulled the trigger on them back then.

 

Installed AVS low-profile vent shades.

 

Ehhh...that depends on the situation...varies state to state... really murky big brother $hit going on with those black boxes. In some states - certain specs like speed, application of brakes, erratic movement (yeah - they have accelerometers in there) etc. is considered "information on vehicle performance". Basically, if they aren't gathering information like video, audio, and GPS location - it's fair game for both insurance companies AND law enforcement to use. In other states -you're 100% correct - a warrant is needed to get ANYTHING the public can't get. 4th amendment laws (though it's constitutional law/federal) are sketchy at best when states, counties and municipalities start to add local ordinances to the mix. I've seen things vary damn near 180 degrees in opposite directions from one state to the next. You could fight it, but who has the time/ money to go through an appeals process that will likely have to go to the SCOTUS for a constitutional opinion. Yeah - we gave big brother a bit too much leeway for my taste. CRAZY.

 

Finally installed the missing bed rail today. Could have been worse- glad my Tacoma did come with the transmission cooler.
