What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

nice! congrats. I'm sure that feels really good

 

It was super simple and it works great out at camp!

 

yes sorry for the late response I am new to this whole forum thing. They are AUXBeam brand strip lights attached under the bed rails.

 

Thanks, I was really happy with how well the covers matched my interior. I debated going two tone but now that they're in I'm glad I went all gray.

For the switch panel, that's the original it came with. My option needs from the dealer were pretty basic, or at least not important enough to pay for all the other extra crap bundled with them. So now I have lots of blank slots to use for my own personalization, which is nice!

 

You were lucky. My 2017 OR has only 1 spare slot for a switch. Will have to cut for adding any more.

 

Got my

$90 Sokietech Carbon Fiber Shock Spring Strut Rod Prop Lift Support Gas Hood Damper Kit for 2016~2022 Toyota Tacoma N300 Pickup Truck

Sokietech hood struts installed. Thanks to @ClassyTacos for the tutorial video I was able to get this knocked out in about 20 minutes.

 

Installed the snorkel last night

 

Today I did two small jobs to my taco.

First, replaced the map lights with LED's. Those were the most difficult bulbs I've ever removed. Ended up using painters tape to grip them. I had the bulbs left over from my 4Runner. I just ordered a bulb for the dome light.



Next I put together a cheap bed mat using piece together floor mats from Harbor Freight, only cost about $15. Only reason I use them is to keep from scratching up my bikes.



Road bike fits perfect.

 

Amazon has the best deal on them if you do decide to purchase

 

I also installed the Sokietech struts and watched the @ClassyTacos video as well.

 

My newly finished bhlm by @no vtec 4me installed:
Meso switchback led side markers, amber turn signal inner lenses, blacked out inners, and fresh uv clearcoat.
couldnt be happier!
This is in my opinion, one of those mods that you have to see it in person to really see how much it makes a difference. Pics don’t do it justice!
Big thanks to @steven.croteau for your help with the wiring!!

 

Dropped it off today and left it all marked up for repair.

 

That's allot of damage. How did that happen?

 

Got black door badges on and Bed Side sticker. My limited is coming along. Just need to do the black headlight mod.

 

Follow the money. Most “charity” is from foundations and/or trusts from rich people/families that have billions sitting in accounts and need to spend the interest in order to be a non-profit organization. Do they do good work? Most do, yes. However an argument can be made that if they paid their share of taxes originally, there would be less of a need for their charity.

Source: My wife just left one of the big name foundations that does exactly this. Their trust isn’t even one of the biggest and is worth close to 7 billion dollars. Philanthropy is a sham as they spend off the interest they make every year with very little oversight but are able to still grow the trust. (Many times the board of directors aren’t pros in their field, just lucky or connected.) Ways of doing so are being invested in for-profit organizations that make their money through things like privatized prisons, tobacco companies and the like. “Doing good while making money off the bad”. I can do this all day, but this isn’t a forum to change anyones mind. It’s for tacomas.

p.s. try not to use google amp links. They aren’t typically the best sources, google is paid to boost those links by the company they’re from which is why they’re at the top of a search. They aren’t always the most informative, just convenient.

 

A deer came out from nowhere and ran into the side of me at 0550 in the morning a couple of weeks ago. Never saw it until it hit me and I looked in the rear view mirror. It got up and ran off after hitting me.

 

Did the insurance co. buy that story or did they give you a hard time?

 

If it was a chevy cavalier they would just accept that story.... every single cavalier has a dent in door, right on the door handle, and every one of them is from a deer running into it.

(This is based on meeting 5 people with those cars, all had dents on the door handles caused by deer running into the sides of them)

 

Haha. Yea they actually did but I have a dash cam just in case.

 

Got the recall fuel pump taken care of.
