What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I don't know whether another member already said this, but I really like what you did on the upper-grille-surround . . . trim piece . . . thing
Did you just take some tailgate letters and slap them on? Looks really good! Reminds me of the Ford SuperDuty emblem on their grilles--super aggressive

 

Why would they do that when they can not do that and still have a best-selling truck?

 

I agree with @playdixie, my 2011 IS250 FSport audio system destroys my 2020 TRD Pro and it is NOT the Mark Levinson system either. I have way more volume in the Lexus and much clearer too. maybe I am being too picky but I love a great audio system

 

Beautiful place, I just got back from Arches and Canyon lands. Lots of people but the views are well worth it. Enjoy

 

I’m pretty sure I would spend less on sex toys than I do on Taco upgrades, so overall I think my wife would prefer I buy the sex toys.

Double-sided tape and these

 

I have found it hard to get true info on the Tacoma JBL system. Is the RAV4 JBL identical?

I've had my 2021 with JBL for about a month now. I have a decently upgraded sound system in my 2004 Honda Element. Not amazing but sounds pretty darn good with full sound for an Element. There are times the Tacoma JBL sounds better and other times where it just sounds like crap. It depends on the source. Some SiriusXM channels sound great but others sound like crap depending on the compression they use for the channel. Bluetooth from my iPhone tends to be pretty consistent and decent if the music is stored on my iPhone. Streaming audio over the iPhone to the JBL via Bluetooth also hit and miss.

I asked my 16 year old kid driving to school the other day what sounded better, the Element or the Tacoma. She said they both sound good, but different. She said the Element sounded more consistent and full, but when the Tacoma sounded good it REALLY sounded good. I think she said it sounded very "deliberate" sounding. She also admitted when it sounded like crap, it really did sound like crap. Usually too much muddy bass.

 

What are you spraying with the rust prevention? The composite bed where you drill the holes or the bolts or both?

I installed cali Raised stiffeners a few weeks ago. Didn't even consider this. Is it necessary?

 

I almost got hit by a rogue tire that had just escaped from the rear axle of a 1st gen Taco. It went through 4 lanes of traffic and passed me up in the fast lane before coming to a nice resting stop on the center guard rail.

 

“Ohey, you fuckah- get away from my taco hoele” is something I’d imagine hearing

 

Does the trash can cup even touch the bottom or does that glare out keep it raised? It looks raised in the pic

What did you use for attachments- clips or fabric loops? I’ve been wanting something for my girls but I found Rainer single post loops that I liked more than dual post… but if I can make something

 

good eye they are slightly raised.

 

It’s not much, but added a piece of milspec webbing as a handle to close the tailgate with ease when camping in the back.

 

This, although it was gray paint and my 1st gen AC was black. Get it to a good carwash/detail shop as soon as you can (like drive there immediately) and pay them to deal with it.

 

This is a great idea. Heck, maybe add a strap thats a couple feet long. No need to reach. I like this mod. Will be good to do once my camper is finished.

 

It is the Tacoma World way.

 

That's what I did

 

My stock head lights are doing this, under 3 yrs. I haven’t taken it in yet but I’m not hopeful on the outcome

 

Lived there 5 yrs- I was a haole and I miss it (i did spell it wrong )

Meaning foreigner technically, I guess you could be a hapa haole but you said white guy. Imo a description
