What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed Total Chaos bed stiffeners. I don’t need them yet, but just future planning. Plus, the tie down points are great! Easy install. Used locktite and recommend using a step drill bit; that way the bit won’t jump around and it gives a way cleaner hole. Used a deburring tool and painted all exposed metal.


I cut the bed mat to fit around them, because my OCD would go crazy seeing that mat flipped up in the corners.

Next, I’ll have to get all black bolts to match!

 

What bed divider is that?

 

Nice clean setup - what's this nifty lookin' thingy?

 

Got the fuel pump recall and 30K service done. Took about 6 hours. Next up getting a tune! I'm organizing a group buy for NorCal / Bay Area for the CVC or KDMax tune. Check out the thread if you're in the area!

Installed this aluminum ARB rack. I used the Sherpa adjustable mounting feet and had to drill holes in the rack to line up the feet. ARB told me not to install their racks on a camper shell. I’m hoping that’s due to liability and not some fatal flaw….

 

Got my Firestone bags in and Toyo Open Country's put on. The bags made a night and day difference with the Decked system in the back. Really firmed up the rear. Next will be Bilstein 5100's most likely.

 

Thanks, that is a DENY lock for my yeti cooler. Safer than a cable lock. Has a breakaway bolt on the bottom.

That’s an OEM divider from Toyota. I got it here:

Genuine Toyota Accessories PT767-35051 Cargo Divider for Select Tacoma Models

Installed the @MESO Customs V2 Dual Color Ultimate LED Dome Light. Pop off the cover and remove the OEM bulb, pop the connector into the bulb socket and snap the lights in to the slots for the OEM cover. Now I’m just waiting for the Dual Color Map Lights to be released.









I also made a trip with the trailer - picked up my Zero Turn that was getting new blades and dropped off the Garden Tractor to have it serviced. Really loving the trailer.

 

Has anyone mounted a decent sized cooler that fits under a MX4 cover?

 

Yeah, I fit my mini igloo under there no prob.

 

Looking for a little bigger cooler..

 

Installed the

$115 CarlinKit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter USB for Factory Wired CarPlay Cars (Model Year: 2015 to 2024), Wireless CarPlay Dongle Convert Wired to Wireless CarPlay

Carlinkit 2.0 for wireless CarPlay! So far I'm pretty impressed. Start up takes about 30 seconds, which is about the same as it takes to get the wired version started... The audio quality so far sounds about the same as wired too. It took about 2 minutes to install. It's super easy to check for updates and mine shipped with the most current version. For now it's attached under the lower switch panel with command strips, but I'll probably reroute it behind the dash somewhere once it's proven reliable (and assuming MESO has lower switch panels in again...). It's actually less intrusive looking there than I assumed. For now.

 

New wheels and tires

 

Got my new wheels installed today.

 

Did you have to drill a hole in the truck bed?

 

Finally got my turbo charge flow accelerator. I should be getting at least 15hp and fuel efficiency when I punch it thru freeway entrance.

 

Yesterday, but I loaded up the neighbor's kayaks and took the kids down to the bay for a few hours. She's alway worried about them getting scratched up, so we took precautions.

By the way, an 80 pound kid getting dragged behind the kayak makes it really difficult to paddle, especially up wind. Little shit needs her own kayak.

Today, we washed 'er up just to go head up to the mountain trails tomorrow and get dirty all over again.

 

Installed my Mountain Hatch panel… got it a little dirty too, lol! This thing is awesome!

 

At 7300 miles, payed it off.....
