What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So is beef and tobacco products...but the island life is spectacular.

 

Didn’t realize that all the mounting hardware for the OEM cover was below the rails, below my softopper rails... so this is what I did to my Tacoma today so I could sell the cover.
That said I reinstalled the softopper in around 20min so if you’re in VB and need a hand...

 

Looks really good. Which garnish are you using, I had one ordered but I guess I got ripped off.

 

Like father like son! That’s my boy!!

 

Got my new fob cases from AJT Design today. They definitely look better than the factory fob to me. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that bring you a moment of joy.

Just out of curiosity, why did you use the redarc instead of a solar charge controller for a fraction of the price?

 

Installed a refrigerator behind the driver's seat.
Thank you for the inspiration!

 

You guys are the rare exception. Everyone I know who has a joint account has weekly fights about money. Cheers!

 

Installed Truxedo Truxport Roll up bed cover. Went with the roll up for full access to bed when I need it. Easy install.

 

Kind of. It’s more for eye adjustment. At night, once your pupils dilate for your natural “night vision”, any white light quickly constrict and you loose that natural night vision. With red light, your eyes do not react the same with white light and you retain that pupil dilation and helps with our natural night vision.

 

Happy to hear it’s all good!

 

Look good. Are those the ones where you can put the valet key in?

 

Nice. Are you finding that it can keep your camper battery fully charged while running a frig?

 

Yes they are.

 

I ask that because our frig uses about 20 amp-hours from lat afternoon until mid morning. I’m running 320 watts of solar and they recharge in about 2 1/2 hours of sunlight

 

Wish I could answer that, but I dont have a fridge yet

 

No problem! You should have plenty of power now though

 

Put on the Tacos4Cheap Color Matching TRD Grille Badge and finally got the vanity plate I ordered back in early February.

 

My Leer 100R finally arrived after 5 and a half weeks!

 

I mostly went with it because I wanted an all in one dual battery setup which supported solar that wasn't super complex which landed me on OffGrid Engineering's website. One of my buddies walked me through a comparable setup without the Redarc. After evaluating the cost difference and then trying to figure out how/where I would mount everything, I decided I valued the clean design of OffGrid's kit.

I also ended up reaching out to both Redarc and OffGrid with questions about the setup I wanted to do and was very happy with their customer service. It is my first time with dual batteries and first time with solar power. Was it expensive... yes, but the parts seem pretty solid and as of right now I am happy with it.

We shall see how it does when I get to put it to the test, but at least the truck starts reliably now. My stock Toyota battery was having a rough time before I started with this whole setup.
