What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Its not terrible but one side or the other will likely give you some trouble. In my install, one side dropped right in and I could lower the truck onto it no problem, the other side had to pry the body mount almost a 1/2" back towards the frame mount to get the sleeve to drop in correctly. I recommend a big long pry bar for lots of leverage for that part.
That part basically made it a two man job but it didn't take a terribly long time. Its just two bolts to loosen and then go one side at a time with the lifting and putting the new stuff in and you'll be fine. I did not use a lift for it either, just a jack and a big block of wood to gently lift up each side of the truck for install.

 

Thanks dude! Was the squeak gone right after? Also did you lube before installing?

 

1. Plastidipped the chrome "Tacoma" emblems and skid plate desert tan .


2. Installed my Meso center dome light. SO much brighter than the incandescent pos Toyota provided as OEM.


3. Built my BFF a bed platform. Waiting on the material to come in to have sown as a cushion cover.

 

Maybe a gator got it. It happens quick

 

Gator don't play no shit

 

Toyota tailgate lock and Meso stage 1 rear taillights. The ass end is a happy camper with the new upgrades.

 

I wasn't going to use the remote, but changed my mind.

 

they sure don’t. I’ve never actually had one bite my truck but I know their bite strength is off the charts. One time I had one that was under my truck getting some shade. I went to go get in it and I noticed it. I ran faster than I run when I hear the dinner bell

 

Nice truck and Let's Go LAKERS!!!!

 

There's always tomorrow Bob!

 

@RallySOP

I think @KTJO is working on new harnesses that we can retro our trucks to make the windows Auto up/down. Take a look at the website, https://www.ktjo4x4.com/ That's what it looks like to me. I'm also wanting to do this.

 

Is it easy install?

 

Thanks to Meeks13, I got a Pro Grill to replace the chrome with on my 2016 TRD Off Road. . I primed it and painted it black. I think it turned out good.

 

Toyota did similar to my Father in-laws Camry. Forgot to put oil in it. You know, nothing major!

 

Thanks Dan. I try to avoid that site because it can Drain my bank account faster than an identity thief! At least MESO spaces out availability so we get some recovery time.

I really want the power folding mirrors. I have the tailgate lock and bowl lights and love them both.

 

Anyone have a good suggestion for black, locking lug nuts that fit OE Toyota wheels?

 

That....is not a pro grille.

 

Big weekend in the garage.
Molle racks from OG fabrication and a bed rack made here in Quebec from APF offroad.

 

So much work, but so worth it in the end!

 

Seats finally in


FYI if anyone else wants to change seats out in the 3rd gen.. the passenger occupant sensors are a PITA

boost gauge installed
