What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I never thought to look under my bed mat. Now I'm curious...

 

Where did you get yours and for what price? Most listings seem to be around $350 to $400.

 

2021 taillights and Diamondback HD cover.
5 mins for the taillights
1hr ish for the cover.

 

Just a suggestion. This is how I installed mine. The ramps provide enough space to lay the skid plate on your belly and slide under the truck with it. Loosely fasten the 2x bolts at the rear, then 2x in the front and then 2x in the middle. Tighten everything up after that.

 

Take a look at the box when you get it. It is either Made in Canada or Made in China.

 

Yes pretty simple I did not use any jack stands or floor jack. But my suggestion is to look at youtube videos om how to install it, because you will be removing frame bolts and the skid plate does not come with instructions , since Toyota wants you to be installed by their techs.

 

Thank you sir. That sounds easier than I was expecting. I'll just slide under there with my creeper I suppose.

 

Got it from the dealer when I bought my Tacoma. I paid about $400 including tax.

 

Classic Toyota. I'll do that for sure, I appreciate it.

 

Technically yesterday, but I installed the Tungsram H11 bulbs. They seem to make a difference in brightness, but mostly I noticed a sharper cut off of the beam vertically.

 

link for the roof rack?

 

Re routed the AC drain hose away from the frame and did the viper cut today. I didn’t want to cut out the fender liner so I used the heat gun to bend it up; that way the fog lights aren’t exposed. Also, removed the stickers in between the doors. I never noticed them before, until someone posted about them. After that, it couldn’t be unseen. I just think stickers and emblems look terrible on a nice vehicle.

 

Did you use a heat gun on the stickers between the doors to remove them?

 

Had that with our Lexus RX300, stupid $20 cable you have to take half the engine apart to get to...

 

Lol, i'm not even at 6k on my 16/mo 2020 yet.

 

TRD PRO Skid Plate (PTR60-35160) installation instructions from Toyota are attached. I also drove up on ramps to get some easier access. It's a one person job, but a helper makes getting the new skid plate in place much easier.

Hopefully I made this descriptive enough for the search to find when anyone needs it in the future.

 

One of the first things I did within one week of owning our Sport was pull the black vinyl off on the doors. Our second gen didn’t have it and looked so much better.

 

Exactly, I want to see more paint, less sticker.

 

You're a good man for that.

 

Ebay, at the dealer it's $600 +tax...(Alberta) and even if it's a knockoff I'm ok with the price.
