What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What's that gizmo on the ceiling?

 

I must have responded to the wrong post. haha

But that does seem like a low cost mod.

 

I don’t feel victimized at all. I was more or less being facetious but I have seen tears shed here because someone posted a picture of their legally carried firearm in their truck.

 

I made it. Bought a piece of ABS plastic off ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ABS-Black-...orming/143215364287?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Cut it so it's 18" x 12". 18" covers the whole width of the plano case. Then I heated the plastic and bent it at the 4 inch mark until it has about a 45 degree angle. 4" to get mounted to the roof rack, 8" to cover the space to the top of the case.

 

Replaced the third brake light due to it leaking. Sucked having to remove most of the headliner just to access the nuts holding the bolts in place.

 

That is a Harken Hoister. I use that to pull my rack/rtt off. Its rated for 200lbs so it holds everything when I need to use my truck bed. I did build a safety rack just in case though. Since it is 182lbs above my car.

 

How did you do on the price for the rack?

 

They seem to have a high end distortion problem. Even on the app I can hear it, but it isn't a constant thing. And it's not across all the channels I listen to. My old school Technic stereo must have some magic, because it sound great in the home office. I'm not much on the talk radio offerings.

 

It’s taken me 2 whole days to catch up on all this man I should’ve joined this thread much sooner didn’t know how much I was missing out on

 

I got the power on...damn sun would not turn on the switch..lol. This thing is just cool.

Installed some Diode Dynamic SS3's

 

Actually this is the first time I have done anything like this lol. Lost count of how many times i have pulled apart my door.

TW was what got me into this.

Word of caution for the speaker baffles, i know if you have the Kickers CS speakers, you will need to trim your door panels.

Just like a millimeter of the lip off the speaker grill.


It seems specific to the CS speaker, because it has this extra lip around the speaker itself, which causes the clearance issue.

Doesn't seem to be as problem with my KS speakers, which sit flatter.

Other than the slight clearance issue with the CS speaker, the speaker baffles are far superior to those expensive Roadkill foams. Which are open cell foam, that can absorb and hold water, leading to mold and a whole bunch of other problems. They are also a relatively new type of speaker baffles, when compared to the more common baffle results.

These are installbay, which i think is under Metra. There is the NVX version also, but appears to be identical.

 

Not everyone here is from the US and A. It's very much a culture shock and something I definitely can't grasp the concept of. I can't be anti-2a because it doesn't exist here.

 

Almost done with my spare tire carrier, still missing a few details and anti theft system.

 

Tire size on the TSS/spare wheel?

 

285/70 R17

 

And that clears upfront? I'm assuming the aftermarket uca helps but at +18 offset woulda thought it would be too close to the frame.

 

I’m not sure to be honest but I got the matching wheel for the spare tire, just waiting for it to be delivered.

 

That is freakin beautiful!!!

 

Those wheels turned out great, they look awesome on your Tacoma.
