What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i had no idea! I’ll have to plan on next year!

 

I used to make similar ones that didn't require grill removal and were hidden behind the plate. Sold hundreds of those things. Anything is better than the stock bracket that cut into the front painted bumper.
Damage from factory bracket

My no drill version (not car wash safe-could bend plate) was $18 shipped

Pinnacle V2 height adjustable no drill (100% car wash safe) was $28 shipped

 

Installed anytime USB charging port with switch. First switch was defective and had to wait on replacement. Glad I hooked it all up on the workbench before I installed it. Thanks CH4X4 for the great customer service!

 

Just got my new bpf recovery points put on. Something tells me this will be the easiest install I will have on the taco.

 

Don't beat yourself up too bad, we all make mistakes. It's not like I haven't overpaid for s

Don't beat yourself up too bad. We all make mistakes. Let's hope the shop does you right.

I see your a fellow Oregonian I've had some wheel stuff done over the years with Factory Wheel Outlet in Clackamas and have never had any issues. If in the future you need some touch up, they might be worth a call.

Cheers.

 

Dam that came out nice

 

It all looks so absurd from a structural standpoint when a piece of hardware made from 1/2 inch or better solid steel is bolted up to a few bits of folded sheet metal roofing... (.060" at most).

Oh well.... ;-)

 

I love mine. It definitely looks a lot better!

 

I hear ya. But until I have a front-end oopsie on trail, (yep already justified the purchase of a steel front bumper without the cause), the least I can do is give my buddies a safer way to recover me. Bridled recovery of course.

Maybe someone has already done this, but is there any way to reinforce the mounting point?

 

Bed Extender installed!

 

Just finished installing molle panels from Cali Raised, and mounted some goodies I’ve been needing a place for. Digging the setup so far.

 

Got the sliders all painted.
1st Cleaned:

Then self etching primer.

Then paint:

Then bed liner on the fill plates and another coat of paint.

Driver side bolted up.

 

Okay, how did you tap into the headlight DRLs? I'm trying to do this with my Rough Country light bar.

 

It's not tapped into the headlights at all. I made a breakout harness for the hazard light switch in the truck -- it's connector A33 that runs the HVAC controls. I ran the hazard light pin from that connector to the relay trigger wire on the backlight circuit switch. I used a diode to prevent back-activation (else the hazards would turn on when you use the backlight switch). At the switch there's an output wire that runs from the switch to the relay. This way you have 2 triggers for the backlight relay: switch and hazard light. No vampire clips

If you want to tap into the DRLs you can make a breakout harness for the DRL connector at the back of the headlight. It has DRL, PARK, and (-) if I remember right.

 

ah okay. I reread your post and misunderstood. Thanks for the tip on the DRL. I'll check it out in the AM and see what I can do.

 

I’m posting this everywhere I like them so much. I pulled my 2021 TRD Pro rims and tires with 900 miles off and put on these bad bay 285/75r16’s

 

Hell yeah these look sick, nicely done man! How bad is the rubbing?

 

Mounted some rotopax

 

Looks sharp! Great job!!!

 

I just traded my 2014 regular cab for a 2021 TRD Sport double cab and the mods have already started. I pulled the LED fog lights and added the LAMIN-X yellow to them. Also mud guards installed. More mods to come.
