What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Workin

 

Well damn, I wondered where my lawn went!

 

I've seen plenty of Harbor Freight tools being used by members in pics, so just a quick mention... HF is recalling some of their jack stands due to safety concerns. Check this link if you've got a set: The irony here is that some of the recall replacements were recalled.

 

Completed this extremely useful mod detailed by @samjpatt here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tool-less-32oz-cupholder-mod.672736/

No more big bottles rolling around the floorboards or passengers getting their ankles bashed. 36oz yeti rambler fits comfortably.

 

On the inside right? And where did you get it?

 

I know right? Now get out of the woods and come help me lay this. LOL

^^Yup that's the Etsy store. Mounted on the outside...ruined one sticker because I just couldn't get my fat fingers down into the corner of the inside of the windshield.

 

Bold on or weld?

Thanks guys, I just ordered one of each

The PowerTanks do look great. But they do have disadvantages.
1. It can be difficult to find a place to fill them.
2. They have to be hydro tested every 5 years.
3. It pisses you off when they get scratched.

I bought an exchange tank from my welding supplier.
1. I never get it filled. I exchange it at almost any welding supplier.
2. The hydro test is the supplier's responsibility.
3. I don't care if it gets scratched.

Because I don't care about it getting scratched, I've never mounted it. I lay it on its side in a plastic tote. Out of sight of theives and out of my way. (Of course I stand it upright to use it.)

 

These are bolt on

 

I returned my 6 tons yesterday-no questions asked though initially they tried to refund a “sales price” but was corrected. It was not worth the risk to me to keep them even though mine were not the primary recall sku number jacks.

 

Biggest disadvantage so far was getting it filled but now that I have a place locally to go to its not a major problem. Really the only time I'll be airing down now is when I go to the beach to surf fish. I don't do nearly as much off-roading now as compared to when I had my FJ. And to play it safe I picked up a

$221 Viair 400P - 40043 Portable Compressor Kit. Tire Pump, Truck/SUV Tire Inflator, For Up to 35" Tires

Viair 400P as a backup.

 

Been raining the past few days and when its not its way to hot out to be working on the truck so just stayed inside and made a set of headrest grab (oh shit) handles.

 

I got the Bigfoot sticker as well. It was pain to get it down in there.

 

How do you guys even manage to put the decal in that tight area so perfectly?

 

I did use a pair of tweezers to help. It took a couple of tries. My first attempt was a disaster but was able to peel it back off.

 

I've never had good luck with Ebay returns. I'm interested in them too. Keep us all updated!
