What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nope. Even worse, 20” wheels. I know, gasp

The sidewalls are more than adequate for mall parking lots in flat Florida. They serve their purpose.

 

Took a day off to install my new Diamondback HD tonneau and it's beautiful! Did it by myself, took my time, about 3 hours.

 

Easier said than done from my experience

 

Somebody has to pay for that huge vending machine......

 

Made me laugh

Here’s a visual for those who don’t know the vending machine

 

Old Glory upside down? This is "distress." Not a good thing.

 

They built one of those in Memphis and I saw from the highway last year heading to Nashville.

 

really liking your truck and these videos! Thanks!

 

I got rid of the useless cig socket and replaced it with a usb adapter / voltage meter. Having a USB C charging port is a game changer. Now I don't have to watch my phone's battery level drop while using maps and plugged into the stock USB port.

 

Where did you acquire this thing? Was it hard to change over?

 

Got it on Amazon. Install was pretty easy other than having to take a lot of the dash apart to get to the switch panel. Most of the dash is just held on with clips so the pieces pop off and then back on. The hole for the USB socket needs to be increased by about 1mm (I used a step drill bit but you could also use a dremmel). The wires for the cig socket have a plastic harness that needs to be disengaged and then the stock wiring fits right onto the USB socket posts.

Thanks for the info!

 

This CRC 06026 marine HD corrosion inhibitor is nice. Sprays on almost like clearcoat paint. Once the propellant evaporates, it leaves a tacky soft film coat, giving surfaces a matte hue. Certainly easier to work with than Fluid Film, which stays "wet" and stains clothing if you accidentally brush against a coated surface. 5 cans were enough to spray the whole frame, suspension, and rear axle. The CRC spray placed tops in Project Farm's comparison testing.

 

What clip did you use? How much lift did it give you?

 

This shot is from the highest point of my windshield, right beneath the sun visors. From the normal driving position I can barely see a very small glimpse of the left side of the Aeroskin at all. They also sell one without the raised area. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks. Hydrascape, good people, sweet decals.

 

Okay not exactly today, but took advantage of the in laws garage in AZ for the holiday and blacked out my wheels. Have the locks to match on hand and will need to wait to put those on for a bit, but pretty happy for now!

 

Got new radio knobs today since the knobs on the 2020+ head unit suck! These are knobs from a 2019 and up (I think) Rav 4. They fit great. You just have to pull out the black plastic piece where knob slides on the post for them to fit a Tacoma. Other than that they are great. Much bigger have great grip and are back-lit like any OEM knob

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

No problem at all
