What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

hah. Yes. Being a Canadian myself sucks when buying stuff. Both I. Cost conversion and shipping.

 

Congrats!! Awesome truck!!!

 

I grounded the lights to the Meso 3rd break light behind the c pillar. If that's it that's going to suck to fix.

 

It was $165 total. I had it done in at Hilliard Green Detailing Garage. I hear it's better than standard undercoating.

 

@bsharpe, can you provide any info on those ceiling mounts for your bikes

 

Looks similar to these, I suspect the ones I have linked are a knockoff though.

thought this was a pretty good step by step

EDIT: sorry didn't read OEM power tailgate lock...

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

Yes, similar to those. I think I picked then up at Lowes.

 

Coming together finally lol time for some wings now!

 

People have said on here that OEM is a white label PnL.

 

Nice

 

I took a fun (and pretty expensive) trip to the Toyota parts shop today!

Luckily I was able to get everything matched to BAM Wholesale's online prices plus sales tax, so I ended up saving a few hundred. I had two separate employees there ask if I just struck it big at the casino or hit the lottery numbers... I guess they never heard of this forum!

The 17 x 7 TRD boxes are filled with these puppies! I couldn't resist that glossy gunmetal. Now I just need to choose tires and get them mounted.

Also got the PRO skid to protect my undercarriage from all of those pesky mall speed bumps! Already pulled the TRD letters to paint them black.

The rest of the list includes:

• Bed mat (currently airing out on the deck in the wind)
• 2nd gen header bed rail & end caps
• Bed lights
• Rav4 blind spot mirrors
• Tailgate lock
• TRD JDM oil cap
• TRD radiator cap

Gonna knock out the bed parts installation and the super difficult oil/rad cap replacement tonight, then I'll have to wait for warmer weather and some free time to tackle the bigger stuff.

 

Bronze wheels showed up today, now I'm trying to decide if bronze or gloss grey will look better on a voodoo truck. Leaning bronze...

Also considering powder coating the leftover set white to try for that retro trailer wheel look.

Anybody have an opinion?... or pics of bronze TRD on a voodoo body? Can't seem to find any googling.

 

Looks like it was a good day for the TRD Sema wheels for you and me! If you couldn't guess... my vote would be for the gunmetal wheels!

I'm liking the gray wheels more and more.

 

Yeah those are gonna look sick on a black truck. Good call, it's nice to see someone buck the black on black on black trend every so often
