What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This weather is fantastic for enjoying the hikes and bike rides. The park is practically empty during certain times right now as well which is crazy to see.

Haha thanks! Probably would've been wiser to start smaller, but figured if you're gonna learn might as well dive in headfirst. Still have a lot more learning to do for sure!

 

Welcome to TW!

Can't help but laugh and smile when you see that coming down the road. Gotta do that soon

 

I installed 1.25” because of the rub on my SPC’s. Then it rubbed on the fender wall. Nasty sound. CMC, pinch weld, cutting, trimming, more cutting and trimming, heat gun —- it is okay now, lol.

 

No just cuts off at the hood

 

Gotcha. I still like it

 

This whole country needs a lot to smile about and this is one way to ensure it does happen.

 

I did the same thing (kinda) the other day, made it out of some HDPE

 

What information is displayed on the center display sine the OEM navagation is not installed do you still get street names and speed.

 

I’m not sure on that one. I haven’t used the phone nav yet to see if it displays in the gauge console. I’ll try it soon.

 

Is that the

Happy 5th Birthday to my truck Squirt!

 

Yup!!!

 

Nice! I did something similar. Routered some cup/utensil holders into some HDPE and cut the original composite tailgate to keep the fitted end caps.

Please excuse the mess. The truck (and the tailgate) get a lot of camping/recreational use.

 

Took me a minute due to weather (lots of rain, and the garage is too small to open the doors more than just enough to get out!), but finally got it all installed this week over the course of a few days between showers. The responses have been pretty much like all the rest, others can't believe they're covers, etc. I can't wait to see what they look like after they've had a couple weeks to settle in and do a final cinching!





The padding of the covers does add more height to the seat than I expected, but it's not horrible. And very comfortable.

The heated seats are awesome. Takes a minute to come through the seats, but once it does it sure makes my late night commutes a hell of a lot better. I work third shift, getting into that cold truck was a major motivator in the install. And I love the look of the switches, it all blends in so nicely!



I know everyone says this, but this site is going to become a money pit for me. I've got that mod itch now, can't wait for the next project!

 

Thanks for the suggestion! This is one of those "once you see, you can't unsee" moments. Never noticed it til now, but in all the pics on here from those who've removed it sure do look nice. But I also do a ton of highway commuting, so we'll have to see how big the mpg hit actually is. Definitely gonna give it a try though.

 

Doesn't Toyota post the MPG for the Tacoma's as the same across all models? Makes ya wonder what that darn dam does.

 

It puts more money in mother Toyota's purse.

 

how thick of a sheet?
