What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lots of crayon storage ;-)

 

If you go thru water above the door sill, water will get into thr trans. Found out myself lol

 

I got it from Saints Off-road

 

It’s recessed but when you are at that angle the rope wouldn’t come in contact with the bumper.

 

If I did that I might as well forget about going home, my spouse would disown me. She likes the Taco more than I do.

 

The are Baja design squadron for stock location

 

The 3rd gen Tacoma panel is rated at 85 watts.

It is paired with a second battery from Offgrid Engineering (managed by a RedArc BCDC1225D)

A DROK voltmeter in the back measures the voltage on the second battery. All roof rack lights and the rear power bus are wired to the second battery.

This is the one I used:

Walked by mine and looked at the box of clazzios in the bed and wondered when the hell I am going to install them

 

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

 

I grabbed the dimensions from another TW thread from user RCRcer (LINK), but the dimensions match the OEM part exactly which doesn't work for a flat piece of aluminum. The OEM part has a lip that bends down where it meets the tailgate. The aluminum will bind up on the bed when you shut the tailgate, so I took about a 1/4" off the top of the panel closest to the bed. In the drawing that is the bottom edge.

 

Canadian thing - bill c21, OIC & FRT = legislation in progress to ban firearms, airsoft and paintball etc by those who might be triggered by that Iron Maiden sticker.

 

Speaking of the Redarc brake controller, tested it out on Saturday using an 18ft shop trailer. Worked like a champ and I love how it looks like it came with the truck.

 

I have one I use with either the Diamondback or he original Toyota cover without issues.

It rests about 1” off floor of bed.

knob is 1/4” from top of bed rail.

Hope this is what you seek.

 

Been working on my 3/4 rear seat delete... Cooler slides out on 30" sliders for access outside the passenger-side rear door., and otherwise can still be pulled out of the truck easily. Got a small bind somewhere around the mid point of the slide out, but it works. I'll get some better shots posted once I fix it and the weather cooperates.

 

Concur on the wires. Very short and very tight (that's what she said jokes disclaimer). The mirrors come with wire extensions for each one, which I personally found useful. I connected them and then wrapped the connection with a piece of electrical tape and installed the mirror.

 

I got a set of 5.29s in February and couldn't be happier. I'm taching around 2200 rpm at 70 on 285/70/17s but I live in Seattle and there's a ton of hills. Don't regret it in the least, my Taco was a dog after getting bigger tires.

 

Cargo bed lights installed. Just PULL those tail lights back with good easy pressure. The worst part is thinking "am I going to break a clip in there". Ten-minute job.

RSI Shell is a work in progress. Had I realized this was a knee killer, leg killer, hamstring killer I would have skipped this one. Still, a work in progress as my legs gave out. I work out in a boxing gym with a ton of core, but assembly is like holding a squat for eight hours.
