What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That sucks man, sorry to see that.

 

Fuck that. I'll take wildfires and earthquakes over that anyday......

Sorry about that the damage. That realy sucks

 

Damn that sucks! I hope insurance comes through for you.

 

We had marble sized hail here last week. Couldnt get my truck in the garage, so I ran out throwing moving blankets over the truck, getting pelted in the head by chunks of hail. Can't imagine doing that with the size of hail you got. Damn.

 

Call your insurance and PDR specialist ASAP. the soon you get an appointment the better. The longer you wait your going to be waiting months because the appointments will fill up quick. Happened in my area and people were waiting up to a year to get there cars PDR. I got mine done the same week since I called the minute it happened.

 

You took the words right from my mouth! Not that I like seeing people lose their livelihood in wildfires or anything, but ya, seriously...

 

That is a helpless feeling while watching it happen. Sorry dude.

 

Just got my TRD Pro skid plate today. Took about an hour to put on, had to modify the front to fit. I have the CBI push bar and was told by CBI it would fit… it did after I cut about 2” off the skid plate. No worries, I’d rather modify than just bolt on… no fun in that!!

 

Clean cut!

 

Nice!

That looks like Cooper AT3’s on Pro wheels? What size tires? Did you already post this somewhere?

 

yikes Sorry to see that. It comes with Texas. I ain’t leavin.

 

Just got my TRD Pro rims back from powder coat. Pretty disappointed with their color match and sheen match on the center caps, but after applying vinyl to them it's harder to tell. For $2,100 you'd think they'd have tried a bit harder...

Side note: if anyone wants custom vinyl letters for their TRD rims, let me know, these fit very well (I stole the vector from some Toyota marketing materials.)

 

Installed my new Hooke Road tailgate panel today. Painless and quick install. Also used the original screws like Tacosrus did--no problemo. Also had to remove the two rubber bumpers. This panel fits really well, and has a textured finish. Really nice for $100 less than a similar Mountain Hatch panel. My butt felt real good on it.

 

damn, we barely got any rain here in north dallas. this place fucking sucks.

 

They look great, I didn't realize powder coating wheels coat that much.

 

$2100? I just got some done for $450 in Olympia. Does it have gold flakes in it or something? That's insane!

 

It might not cost that much, but options here are limited and this place "specializes" in wheels. These guys were more per wheel but said they'd color match the center caps which was cool --but turned out with subpar (IMO) results.

If I'd gone to a place that does nothing but powdercoat whatever all day every day I could've gotten away closer to $1,500. Since I'm ordering new gloss gray and black center caps off the internet to see what looks best, it's looking like I could've saved myself some money and gotten a better result. Oh well, live and learn (expensive lessons... constantly...)

 

Also, I can't wait to see what they look like on your truck.

 

Not today, but this past weekend went camping and set up a new Napier bed tent in my bed.

 

Ugh, now I'm feeling like more and more of a sucker...

It was five wheels and included media blast, but man was it expensive. Between the original cost of the rims, powder coat, and tires these are gonna end up being like 65% the cost of a supercharger.

Me either, my dude. They're gonna end up on a Voodoo truck, but I've gotta wait til' ~September for the OME BP51 to show up so it can accept chunkier tires.
