What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

thanks for the info that’s one I was considering. Does yours fit flush? heard some have issues with the hump on the tailgate structure making the panel stick up

 

Attached is a picture after a year of use. I'd say yes, it fits flush. I haven't noticed it stick up. Seems like a "buy it for life" product if you ask me. Price is right too.

 

Anybody have one of these Hooke Road Tailgate panels ?

Fired mine off today for the first time and was at 60psi in a NY minute. I added a tank and some airline and I'm stoked.

What compressor is that?

 

Just installed a @scleaf Sabellco tailgate lock! This thing is beefy! (First mod of many to come)

 

We have three that fish in the house which is why six rods. Our 18' pontoon boat lives in a slip with a lift in a marina on Lake Livingston in beautiful East Texas, right at 49 miles away from the house. We only got it in Sept and have been unsuccessful at fishing so far in the hot spots on the lake.

 

I have this one from Mobtown Off-road https://mobtownoffroad.com/product/2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-tailgate-reinforcement-plate/

I’ve been very happy with it. Haven’t seen any dents in it and it’s taken a beating so far. I was thinking about the plastic ones but couldn’t see myself spending greater than $200 for a big cutting board. I got the smooth one. Makes it so much easier on my knees to climb into the bed. I will get a pic tomorrow for you and post it for you.

 

Installed the @SpikerEng hood struts. Happy with how they came out. FYI, make sure your rivet gun can do 3/16 steel rivets, the ones on the shelf at home depot cannot (check fine print on back of packaging).

 

Noticed the gear shift knob glowing in the parking lot lights at work tonight. No flash on the pic.

 

It was humor. I meant fishing in your truck....

 

Received my new

$108 Viair 88P Portable Compressor Kit (12V, 120 Psi, Forup to 33" Tires)

Viair 88P and ARB EZ Deflator last night. Now it’s time to take the new rig off the pavement for the first time this week!

 

Where did you mount your kit?

 

It's so easy to build mounts. I guess some people buy mounts because they looked "finished." Yours look great!

 

It's a Smittybilt 2781

 

Minor, on the pinch seem and a small section of the lower fender. Good luck.

 

I had the same experience with Caliraised when I tried to order some Meso blackout vent rings. They showed them in stock when everyone else was out. They took the money and then didn't ship anything. After contacting them, they revealed that they had none in stock and after a month of nothing I had them cancel my order (which took them several days as well). Anytime I have companies take my money for things that they do not have to ship, that is the last time that I buy from them....
