What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine is a 18 and has the mount. Didn’t know it came there. Interesting.

 

Got my Waterport Weekender yesterday. Now just need the UpTop Bravo to get here so I can mount it. Going to be a busy weekend.

 

Scored a bed mat yesterday for the price of 5 tacos(the food kind)!!! One of our trade-ins had one so I asked our UCM what it'd take to for it to "fall out of" the back. He said- "Tacos from Chandos?". Deal!!!!!!

 

There is a mod to turn off the plate light when in reverse only (of course there is)

 

TRD Pro wheels installed with the black lugs and black wheel locks. went up to 265/75/16

 

Buddy of mine a couple years ago had like 3k miles on his 2016 Tacoma and was driving down a rural road and a guy pulling a trailer lost a 5 gallon bucket of roofing nails (on my mothers life I swear it) 4 flat tires and had at least a half dozen nails in each one. I don't think I have ever seen him so pissed off.

I've seen some wild stuff for sure while driving. For some reason I see a lot of A frame and extension ladders laying on the highway and always crunched or bent... feel bad for the vehicle that takes one of those out. My dad hit the tank of a toilet a few years back while driving the 405 in LA, came off a trailer going to the dump and the car in front of him swerved to miss it and it was dead in his path. The front end of his SL550 was tweaked to the tune of about $12k.

 

I narrowly avoided a double fly 24ft ladder once during a snow storm on 395. That would have been a wild ride to hit.

 

We were going down a 2 lane road and met a guy pulling a trailer and a toolbox fell off of it, nothing we could do and centered it. Tore the front end up on my wife's 2019 Suburban.....it had 6,000 miles on it. $3,500 to fix and the guy never stopped.

 

Added some more horsepower by purchasing those OEM blank switches for my dash and for my aftermarket switch panel. One of the blanks broke so I had two holes there for a while lol.

 

Did you go with the E load on the Toyo’s?

 

I did that Sunday. Completely different truck.

 

Where did you get the blanks.

 

Finally got around to installing my MESO Ultimate turn signals… was super easy. Just a little nerve racking popping off the mirror cover, trying to not break the clips/tabs. Looks so much better w/o that chrome!!

 

And like 20 times brighter

 

I do like the variety of product here. A Warn bumper and a Harbor Freight winch. I'm going to grab that Apex myself as soon as it goes on sale, or I get a coupon.

 

I did not sir. i went with 116T

 

Good to know. They are on my short list, and I wasn't sure if the sidewalls would have a good look in the 116t, but it looks good on your truck!

 

The hardest part of painting is the level of effort to tape off everything. Other than that it's easy to do. Take your time and make sure they're super clean. I recommend the G2 paint system for the calipers. Check Amazon.

I did 30 percent all around for the tint.

 

Yeah theres somethings you dont go above and beyond on spending money on . Least with the winch i can return without any questions asked
