What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I would check with the manufacturer. Not sure how well it will adhere to the composite bed? I've read somewhere in older posts where shops would not spray these type beds but not sure why? However, with the changes in compounds it may be possible now.

 

Have a camo one from Cabelas. Installed a torque convertor and pulls like a little tractor and goes way faster (although dangerously fast with no suspension). Use it pull deer out though, works well can go through tight trails/corn rows etc.

 

I need to get the torque converter kit for mine, the stock clutch slips like hell when pulling.

 

You will be impressed. I bought two of those bikes for $299 each Cabelas Black Friday sale . Gave one to my dad. He bought the high end torque converter (can’t remember the brand) I bought a China knockoff but pretty sure they were identical. Have had the bikes 4-5 years and they are still holding up. I snapped a peg and Coleman sent me two new ones. Both have had the carbs replaced rather than messing with them complete carb is cheap. With the torque converter it will pull a 200lb deer up steep hills with a 220lb rider & gear (we use a sled even w/out snow). Keeping the front wheel down and the back tire grabbing becomes the only limiting factor. They can be little workhorses if you want them to be. Ride mine most of the way out to my deer stands for archery use it to scout etc. motors seem bulletproof. I’d guess they go about 35-40mph with the torque convertor too as it changes the gear ratio as it expands. It gets pretty unnerving at speed on bumps lol.

 

Here's the link for them.

Added full-length molle panels

 

Right now I use mine to tow the wagon with firewood in it or my ice fishing stuff. This summer I plan to use it to tow my kayak, I need to make a small boat trailer for it so I can haul the kayak.

I do need to figure out a way to mount the bike, kayak and mini trailer into the bed of my truck though. I figure for the trailer I will just make something like a kayak dolly, but a little more beefy and then make a front mounted arm that just hooks up to the front of the kayak. I think it would be a super nice camp bike that I can take up north.

Something like this

 

I ordered one from them today

 

That’s definitely a transfigured taco! Nicely done

 

Nice bro! I think you'll be pleased with it

 

I wish someone would make a product like this for the Canadian market.

 

Feliz Navidad

 

The bars are OEM Toyota from the 2nd Gens that I bought locally (I don't think Toyota sells these anymore).

 

thanks its actually plasti dip. 30 cans of camo green.

 

I made a gingerbread cookie of my Taco today.

 

Looking to upgrade my SR horn, which model Seger horns did you install? Do you know the amp draw on them? Thanks.

 

Nice. Which one's yours? The one with the shell or the one without?

 

I used a dremel with a small round saw. Just take your time and less is more. You can always come back and trim more.

 

I can appreciate your point of view to certain extent. If you drive a pavement princess that spends more time getting washed than off-road, then I %100 agree. You have a grocery getter. My wife has puddle lights on her Lincoln. They're cute. I don't need them.

That being said, there are a lot of people, myself included, that put a lot of miles on our vehicles and spend a lot of time in between towns and cities. And not enough out on a trail away from the madness for a while. I like being able to see vehicles that are on the road with me, especially when there is no other light on the road than the car in front of you. And I hope they are paying attention to me as well. This says nothing of inclement weather like the pea soup thick fog that I get a lot of crossing a mountain and river and some small lakes on the way to work. And I see about as many deer as I do bugs on my windshield. I like to see then as opposed to hitting them. Visibility is safety, and I personally don't like driving by the map on the 8" screen on my dashboard. And I have the MESO red interior lights, because I like to see what's happening around my truck. (Perhaps that comes from so much overnight security work in bad parts of town.) As I continue my build, I will add the lights I need. It's not me screaming for attention. It's me building my truck the way I want to use it.

If the lights have a purpose for the user, then so be it. Are some overkill? Perhaps? Rock lights on a mall crawler? Want to mod your truck and have the $$ to do so - more power to you. Want it stock, more power to you. As long as you're not blinding me with obnoxious headlights, I really don't see a problem with it.
