What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered. Thanks for the info.

 

It's about God Damned TIME someone did what I was thinking of doing. But - I would have gone with semi-gloss, not flat black - but still - looks good.

 

Yes - on both the front AND back it looks good.

 

Put one of these on her. Just in time for a trip to Moab this weekend.

 

Where all are you putting them

 

I was looking to order one a while back, figured I go through the unmentionable tacomabeast, just because they might tell ktjo they wanted all the right parts etc. All sold out, so I pulled a dumbass move and preordered for the “2nd batch” from ktjo. So now I wait. But I paid for shipping already

 

Everyone seems to have different experience with this item. I really like it as it has helped me get in the truck.

Saying that, the bolt covers have my biggest complaint. They simply will not stay in place. I got some 3M double sided from Autozone. They stayed in place for a few days, but the top has come off and won't reattach to the tap. The bottom one looks like it may come off at anytime. Might have to go to Amazon and get some Locktite double sided tape. 3M just aint cutting it.

 

And now something we can all agree on:

WE LOVE TACOS!

(truck and crunchy alike)

 

From what I know about double sided tape is possibly wrong, but you gotta put pressure on it to “squeeze the glue out the foam”.

 

Very slick, can you share where you got them and part numbers please.

 

2 things I did.

i had to adjust my lower bumper valance. I was driving to the central coast and the wind speeds were so bad, it unclipped the bottom part. I’ll double check that it is secured.

rinsed and washed my rubber floor mats.

 

Saw this on a Facebook overlanding group that I am a member of. Definitely got me thinking and noticing how my truck drives and handles with 285s on it. Think I'll be switching back to stock size with the next set.

Aluminum. Seems pretty stout for my needs.
I figured if it's good enough for your beautiful rig, I'm getting aluminum too!
(Also, I love reading about your adventures).

 

I just removed the OEM usb plug, popped in a blank plug cover from MESO and ran the cord behind the dash, notched out a small area near the DMM with a Dremel and run the cord thru it.

 

Washed the salt off. Added 34's.

 

I was able to get my bakflip G2 installed this weekend.

 

I put them in my truck, too. They are from Spotter Mirror. Make sure you order the correct type - these are with BSM capability. They al make ones without BSM if you need those.
