What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! No lift. Stick tire size 265/65/17

 

Thanks! Just added a sub amp and

$83 audio control lc2i 2 channel line out converter with accubass and subwoofer control

audio control lc2i. Stock head unit. And I did swap the front speakers with pioneers.

 

Wonder in white distilled vinegar would work on chrome without hurting the plastic. I used it to degalvanize tie down handles in the bed and paint black. Left it outside in the sun for a few hours and the plating just chunked off. Cheaper than using cold galvanizing primer.

 

Hoping my set arrives soon, its stuck in the USPS loop.

 

Caliraised bed stiffiners are in.
They need to re-think the location of that top bolt facing the cab. What a PITA when you have meat hooks for hands.

 

I ended up mounting mine off center because I didn’t know how to remove that screw in the middle where yours is mounted. It’s bugging me still months later so I try not to look at it.

 

I agree that was one of the trickier parts- what I did was drilled a pilot hole too far fwd and found the same thing, then just expanded it backwards and almost created a slot- the Nakita camera I used pushes against that screw a bit but I think it might be a mold injection point and so I used a knife to file it down. Also for anyone else who does the mod, I went in through the passenger grommet and didn’t unscrew glovebox or anything- if you stay toward the side the wires from the engine compartment can be pulled through right where the passenger side foot panel under the glove box has a gap. Also my setup had extra wires for rear camera input/power I did not need so just closed those off. 2 hr job—hardest time was just getting through the rubber grommet

 

I'm working on building something similar with the Lc2i. Did you create a separate thread? Would like to get some details on your install if you could PM me.

 

today’s unfortunate mod...god damn rocks on the highway!

 

Thats Fugly.

I love your headlights. Is that the BHLM?

 

Okay so I was wondering how to tell what I would need to do to level the truck and how much are these 2 inches 1 inch how can I tell how much I need will be the first time doing something like this

 

Added @Tacovinyl decal...grill badge to follow

 

Got a Thule Motion XT XL. Think it’ll be good for ski season with the dogs in the bed.

 

I really like the look of your truck -- understated, yet rugged. I have a 2020 TRD OR in the same color. Initially I was thinking of changing the wheels to black and then possibly doing the black out of the Tacoma. But the more I think about it the more I kind of like the stock wheels (I swapped the tires to the Nittos) and maybe I will leave the chrome. I do think the chrome Tacoma ties in nicely to your wheels and it is nice to see someone going in a non-black direction. Great color and it really works. Also like how the OEM roof rack looks as well. Thanks for the inspiration !

 

Driving home with new Nitro 5.29 ring and pinion installed

3 hrs. from home, taking all secondary roads to stay below 60 mph. I'm on my first stop letting it cool after driving 25 miles.

 

Yes sir, Thank you. BHLM. I did it myself, never done before. very tough mod but well worth it in the end. Give yourself a few days and a full 24hours for paint to dry. get legit retro rubber and clean out the old stuff before re sealing.

 

Sitting on parts for about a year and I still haven’t done this yet
