What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

Were those tie-down points included? When I looked on the local dealer's parts site - it was just the rail. A set of 4 is about $30 on Amazon - just curious if it was additional. Looking at a few options for the front end of the bed.

 

Hi- I got the pack of 4 from Amazon. They appear to be heavy duty OEM quality. Got the rail and end caps from OEMPartSource.

 

The wife’s all ways come out pissed when we do shit to our Tacoma’s then I get the eye roll!

Added a little rear window garnish today.

 

Got an amazing deal on Craigslist on a used bakflip mx4. original owner also had the SICKEST overland build.

 

Picked up my OR wheels from powdercoat today. I tried to find a color close to the center caps, but they are a bit off. Have to get that paint matched I guess. But really happy with how they turned out! Although I did tell them to leave the lug nut holes bare but oh well.

 

2020 Pro wheels installed. Super happy with them

 

Designed, cut, press broke and installed my new roof rack. We decided to ditch the t-slot extrusion for something actually strong. Each rib has 4 opposing breaks and can hold a ton of weight. The holes allow for endless tie down points and spots to attach accessories.

entire rack is 1/8” aluminum with 3/16 steel brackets. Rack weighs 30 lbs.

 

Where’d you get these?

 

I use my toy to tow my other toy

 

Olathe Toyota parts department online. For wheels and center caps I got them for $930 shipped

 

I think we need a bit of an explanation as to what your "other toy" is please.

 

I customized a mini chase rack out of the my prinsu roof basket.
