What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Add 255/85/16’s and tinted front windows...day 6 of Tacoma ownership....145 miles!

 

Good idea switching tires

 

You were smart with the placement of those boulders though. I guess we know what your next mod is

 

Looks nice. I am also in the processing of making one like this. will follow your thread to learn more

 

Got her detailed today! Recently installed the TRD skid plate, Mountain Hatch tailgate insert, and bed lights!

 

I just finished vacuuming the floors on the trucks. Had a lot of dirt underneath my floor mats because of my job site and we just happened to buy a new one. So I got to break it in. Also rinsed and cleaned the rubber floor mats. Sprayed some mango air freshener inside and letting it simmer.

 

Slapped on an ARB Awning

 

Can't use the Rok Blok. I park on the street pointed downhill and when I drive to the bottom of the hill after a rain and do a u-ey, I have all that water pouring out.

 

I suggest putting a graphite based anti-seize on the drums. I have steel for winter rims and OEM aluminum rims that I swap out 2x per year and have never had an issue with the rims bonding to the brake drums.

 

what about the drain holes in the front of the bed?

 

It still drains out the sides near the gate too. Definitely not 100% of the water but I’ve seen it happen

 

Funny enough, two days ago I ordered a set of ST Maxx in 235/85R16 as I’m doing a two month trip out west this summer and wanted something more durable for those trails. I feel completely validated now in my purchase lol! They will hopefully be installed Tuesday.

 

Now that’s some skinny’s!!!

 

Yep. Dissimilar metals will corrode together over time. I had the same issue with a past Tacoma. Had to whack the crap out of the aluminum wheel with a rubber mallet to get it to break from the brake drum. It's helpful to rotate tires every 5K or so to prevent that.

 

In 6 days when new I put close to 1,000 miles on it. Enjoy it! because if not when you sell it the second owner sure will.

 

where can we find those orange bed bars? I have not seen those around

 

I’m putting it to work today. Spring cleanup day at my Son’s house. Gutters cleaned, landscaping, tree/bushes trimmed & pressure washing. You can actually pack a lot stuff in this short bed.

 

Added smoked sequential turn signals I got off Amazon. Super easy install maybe 10 minutes per signal.

 

XPEL Ceramic Tint (35% up front) & 20% over factory stained glass

first picture is before the tint

cops suck over here (NY/NJ) so I didn’t wanna go too dark on the front

 

Anyone tapped into the bed light source @ the tail lights to add more (LED) lights in the bed?

Have a cap that I want to put lights on the ceiling & would be easier to just tap what is already there. Obviously considerations for total amps will be made but not sure what the load rating is for that circuit. Anyone know that #?

Long term: I'm likely to add the OEM bed lights on the factory circuit and also run a hot wire so side & back glass doors are on pressure switches so that any of the three being opened will complete the circuit.
