What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

awfully small. I’m a fan of carrying larger ones so you can complete the job. Tonight planning on setting up an engine compartment fire in a car for training. Will compare the Element 50 to a dry chem extinguisher. Video should be interesting.

 

How does Halon compare?

 

pleased with the ditch lights. Bracket is solid.

 

Thanks. Ordered 2 and it was cheaper than any where else I looked.

 

Dig these Volks. Where did you find them?

 

I do! I have these exact rims, do you have the link to the Etsy site you snagged them from?

 

FACTS!

 

Haven’t used Halon in years. A lot of people have been talking about the Element 50, so I bought one to see how well it works on an engine compartment fire when the hood can’t be raised by the driver (like in most engine compartment fires). I had a number of dry chems available to play with so there was no cost there. All of the videos I’ve seen have either had the hood up or it was an open pit. Wanted to see it in a real world scenario.

 

First post here all. Have had my Taco for 4 weeks so far and mods are:

• Sequential mirror turn signals
• Tailgate inserts
• Grill
• Headlights
• Tail lights
• Diamond Back cover

 

Nice, Welcome!

 

Picked up my $300 soft topper, and got that on!

 

Installed OME UCAs, OME medium duty leaf spring kit, ECGS bushing, and a Teraflex Falcon Sport 2” tow/haul lift kit.

rides really nice so far! Excited to take it offroad this weekend for a test. Maybe time for larger tires?

 

yeah tires look small esp the back ones

 

Got my cover installed.

 

Red plates are really hard to get here in commiefornia

 

I have the same one. I love it. Looks good on black though.

 

Installed the R4T tailgate lock, took about an hour, nice addition since my ARE Z series cap has key fob lock as well. No need for that silly key.

 

Never know when your going to need to improvise... I didnt have a fire extinguisher when this happend, but I had a garden sprayer full of water (spray sand off the kids feet before getting back into the truck). Now I have a real fire extinguisher in the truck though.

Not sure how well a fire extinguisher would of worked on this fire, the exhaust heated up the shocks red hot causing them to burst and the oil ignited. Everytime I put out the fire, it relit because the metal was so hot. Finally got it cooled down enough where it didnt keep lighting.

 

Got my SnugTop put on today!

 

The silver plate in the back there, is that something you bought/made or did it come in the truck?
I'm trying to figure out a way to mount a custom fuse box and this might be the solution.
