What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added some serious HP today. Can you say, built not bought?

 

Got my CFX 35w mounted to a DFG slide, fits great under my cover!

 

Fixed the bind, works great now. Here are some daylight pictures.

 

That doesn’t drag at all on the giant T55 holding down the bed? I have the same setup that I need to install and I was dreading having to figure out how far towards the center of the bed I would have to mount the DFG slide to clear my Total Chaos bed side stiffeners.

 

Thanks for the link. Been using an aerosol spray that is organic and contains peppermint oil which they do not like. Also use an electronic repellent under the hood as well.

It has served me well so far. $750 isn’t bad considering I had mine repaired at the dealership just for warranty purposes; $2k. My insurance covered the repairs and rental car. Only thing I came out of pocket for was the deductible when I picked it up afterwards.

Edit: We also have one on our Corolla. This is a common issue with Toyota’s and Honda’s since they incorporate soy in their wire sheathing.

 

Nope! It clears the big bolt just fine. I was worried about it as well.

 

What’s that system you’ve hooked up to the scepter?

 

It is a 12v switched faucet with an added submersible pump.

Running water from a Scepter can, just plug it in to any spare 12v lead on your rig.

 

After 6 months of ownership I finally ordered the bed mat, with as much press as it gets on this site I'm sure my Hp will increase and gas consumption will decrease. Hopefully the install goes smooth...lol.

 

I removed the black vinyl from between the windows. Washed, clayed, paint correction & ceramic coating. I hadn’t really thought much about the vinyl until I saw a thread about it on this forum. Then I started paying attention to Tacoma’s and other trucks and decided it had to go. Love the results.

 

I didn't wire it up, so I couldn't tell you? All I did was wire in the solar panel to the RedArc the next weekend.

Now thats slick!

 

Smooth diamondback hd came on the freight truck today

 

Welcome, paint looks awesome! Can you elaborate on what detail/ceramic products you used? I'm always testing new detail products and like to hear what others prefer.

 

Been using “The Last Coat” products. Got a starter kit that had a clay mitt, Black Ice (ceramic), The last coat top coating, The last coat soap and a Detailer called Amp. Been very pleased with the results. I’ve done two Tacoma’s and two Jeep’s so far and have plenty of product left with the exception of the soap because you use it as the lubricant for the clay mitt.
The paint looked like it had been through a brush type car wash every day of its life. Couldn’t wait for a warm weekend to get it rubbed out and protected.

 

I did this to my 2020 TRD Sport and am really happy with it.

Ahem..

(I know, maintenance reminder)




This was coming down from Crater Lake

 

Is it not just a bit over the top to bolt 1/2 inch plus steel plate to members that couldn't be much over .080" ?

I'm thinking a "structural tie bar" that attaches to the "bumper arms" might be a good fab project.

 

At warp speed?! Did you put 25k on a ‘21 taco? I though I was bad with 16k on my ‘20.

 

Looks great man! I did the same. What tint are you running?
