What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I bought this OEM Grille PT228-35200-20 (thanks to a member here that gave me the info). It's part of the TRD Liftkit. I found it to be cheaper than any aftermarket I found. The lettering came black and molded into the grille and cannot be removed/swapped out.

 

This is a very good read. All Tacoma owners that are considering a lift and larger tires should read this and do your homework accordingly. You need to read the whole article. Especially about increased weight. Hint: regear should be calculated in with the lift and tires.

 

Thanks boss. Looks great!

 

And rav4 mirror option for those that are interested. This is non-bsm part #.

 

With all the extras on the truck now, I don't use the tunnels anymore. I bought one of these:

$37 Twinkle Star 16" Dual-Function Undercarriage Cleaner, Surface Cleaner for Pressure Washer, Underbody Car Wash Water Broom with 2 Piece Extension Wand and 90 Degree Angled Wand, 4000 PSI

I did that with my old F150. I didn't have a problem with it. It was the type with the Velcro strips on the sides.

 

Looks damn good, especially without the black vinyl in between the two doors.

 

Installed my truck mount holster

 

Victory 4x4 Aluminum Transfer Kid plate installed today. I didn’t put it on the lift but my shoulders are wishing I did .

 

Thanks for all of the info guys

I have cheapo stick on dome mirrors that do what I need and shows me the whole lower side of my car and importantly the back wheel so I can manoeuvre around rocks and mall curbs.

Presumably your mirrors do the same, hard to tell from the pictures, looks to be more for seeing vehicles in the blind spot...?

 

Thanks man! Great minds think alike.

 

Yeah, Velcro, good to know when I’m feeling lazy... thanks

 

I put the rav4 mirror glass on mine and they are just for driving blindspots. I couldn't be happier with them.

 

I keep it on my person so if I need to exit fast I don't have to grab it and reholster etc. But I guess they are okay for long trips

edit: Would advise to keep loaded unless using as blunt object then youre fine

 

Did a couple things last night---

AP Bed Stiffeners -- used extra bolts to make it stronger in the bed. Had to take out body mount bolts and tail lights to get it in perfectly. I still need to cut the mat a bit.









Put my Martin Roof Rack together -- Gage is shipping me 2 more crossbars too. GREAT customer service.



Hammered in some @ARCHIVE bushings-- will be installing this week or next-- eventually hammer hangers with high clearance cross member.




Also installed @ARCHIVE's ABS Skids-- such an easy install and smart product. Definitely recommend if you wheel at all. I've been all over so yeah I know I need to clean back here...



Slapped on the @ragofabrication rear shock guards too




Shout out to @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for the U bolt flip too. I put this on about 6 months ago. Made a bracket to reuse stock bumps too.

 

Installed my Screen Protech head unit cover.
The original they sent me did not fit my truck. I went back and forth with Screen Protech a bunch, and we finally concluded that there is possibly an error in their SR5 drop down. The head units might have changed.
After a bunch of headache originally (and long periods of silence from Screen Protech) we finally got everything figured out. They shipped me a new cover, and all is well. Great customer service in the end.

 

Awesome!, but you got me scared with the garage door on top of the box...I thought oh no...
Great job!

 

In the winter I use the auto wash (touch free only) But when summer is here I wash at home. I still need to get one of those though.

 

At $15-20 a wash, I use the driveway as much as I can. I will run the wife's car through the tunnel for the undercarriage in the winter.

 

haha I set it on there on purpose. It's off the track. Less noise and light for neighbors. lol
