What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I was in contact with UpTop about the snorkel a while back. I was asking to see under the hood, cowl and fender, they wont let me. And they won't give me a release date either. It is the most visually appealing not on the market snorkel right now. I would probably wait if I had a release date, or even a release quarter. Tell me something to keep here.

 

Thank You!!!! I never understood why Toyota couldn't pony up for better factory lights considering the price of these trucks.

 

Just finished installing a light bar by @spartanxcustoms in my hood scoop to make it functional, i have to say the quality is top notch, now i got to wait until its dark to test it properly

 

Oh got it, I missed that detail. Thanks.

 

@ Gusgus I have the amber one in mine. You'll love it.

 

Well finally got my adaptor made so I can mount my trd knob to my core short throw. Love the black trd ball.
And yes there is a TON of dirt in my cab lol. In need of a deep clean.

My nephews gave me a set for Christmas. Took me about 15 minutes to put them in.

 

glad my 3rd gen interior is not the only one that looks like this lol

 

Yeah tons of trail dust and I don't detail in the winter. There is nothing that I hate more then detailing a vehicle when it's 9 degrees outside. Lol.

i got my truck 2 weeks before Christmas and it looks like that. I haven’t even taken it on a trail, but I live off a dirt road that’s over a mile long. I’ve got a friend I graduated high school with that owns a detailing businesses and he sends money to help veterans with his proceeds. He’s my go to when it’s time for a good deep cleaning.

 

Good question. I know they could be returned but $80 is a lot to take a gamble lol

 

You are right @playdixie; sorry about that. Amazon says they fit Tacomas though, when I did the Filter Results by Your Vehicle so I wonder if they do fit.

 

Got a few small things knocked out this morning. Installed extended brake lines, Archive Garage wheel sensor skids, replaced my broken front reservoir clamps, and removed the spare tire lift-thing. #weightsavings

I made a super simple gas can holder. Its just a piece of angle iron, then two .5 inch box tubes welded to it. The box tubes go into the rails of a smitty built jerry can holder, then the angle iron bolts to the bed tracks. Since the box tubes just slide into the jerry can holder, the jerry can is able to go up or down a little bit incase I remove the bed mat. Its nice and secure with minimal fabrication. Plus it locks, you cant get to the bolts with the jerry can in there, so the only way to steal the gas can is to either break the bed, or cut the lock off. In the long bed trucks, we have this nice area infront of the rear wheel well that fits a single can perfectly.

 

Mine is an 18 as well! Fit perfect. Gets rid of the ugly chrome and no issues with my sensor transferring over. If you have it.

 

I will try to this evening. Thanks again @RallySOP !
