What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Try a hollow steel punch. Clean holes, no drill.

 

The red one is their famous Chesapeake 17'. The white one is a 19' called North Bay(this kit has been discontinued, but they may still sell the plans). I love the North Bay. Sad they stopped the kits. The North Bay is only 22" wide with 19'6" length....fast and track like an arrow.

 

I tried this as well, but found the gas tank in the way. I mounted low on the side wall instead.

 

Yeah- I love having hood struts on my 2020 Tacoma.
I also own a 2010 4wd Japan built Rav4 and a 2015 AWD Limited Rav4. Neither of them have hood struts either. The hood on my Japan Rav4 actually seems even heavier than the one on my Tacoma.

 

Thank you

 

Where did you get the switch for the lights?
12Tac

 

The Japanese are apparently a very strong people

 

The kit comes with the switch and everything you need to install, even the drill bits and tie wraps, its all precut and made to fit exactly as you want it.

 

That switch comes as part of the scoop light bar. They are CH 4x4 switches though

Ok - sunny day, so pulled the overhead panel off - and then started the process of using the dremel to clear out the plastic area for the Me-So custom panel.


Needed a support piece for the right side - so cut this out of one of the support pieces, then shaped it and super glued it into place.


Needed to re-route the SOS button harness so it was out of the way...


Me-So SOS four button panel glued in - and with two LED light bar switches in to see if they clear...


The back side - with the two proxy switches in place...


RE-mounted in the ceiling... and now to order two (or three) more switches.


AND... the overhead switch panel project is officially closed.

 

That's so cool. They definitely don't look like they're over 20 years old. Might have to do that someday.

 

Alright, got her all primered and painted up, gonna give plenty of time to cure now. Far from good, but good from afar.....it’s strong though lol got my diode dynamics SS3 pod lights coming in next week. Can’t wait to finally get it all installed!

 

Added a new usb port rated at 3.0 and 2.4 amps. Taped into my 12v cigarette port for power.

 

Tinted windows, a new bed mat,, tonneau cover arriving tomorrow and a full detail job today - inside and out.

 

Added @oostroma LED light kit to my shift knob today. Turned out pretty damn good! The pictures make it look WAY brighter than it really is.

I also tied it into my illumination circuit so I can adjust the brightness with my dash lights.

I had a busy day. I installed an UpTop Alpha, Rago Fabrication low profile ditch light brackets, Redline hood struts, and OG Fabrication interior molle panels.



Still need to install At The Helm bed stiffners, tailgate lock, tailgate anti-theft device, SOS bumper, Switchpro, lights, Front Runner bed rack, and some other stuff I'm sure that I'm forgetting.

 

It’s actually two Quick Charge 3.0 outlets both rated at 2.4 amps. Here’s an explanation of QC3.0: https://www.belkin.com/us/resource-center/quick-charge/

 

Gave it a much needed bath today. The only bad thing was the pollen had already started to show even before I could wipe it dry.
