What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added this two piston air compressor to the bed of my truck and secured it with an adjustable master lock to the D-Ring. Super quiet and runs perfectly off the trucks 110v power outlet.

This guy stopped to talk about my Tacoma... beautiful build. Was at harbor frieght buying afew things.... some for the Taco of course.

 

Yes sorry I usually add a direct link but am multitasking at the moment.

 

They aren’t made by a company per say, but a member on here. He’s out of SoCal from what I understand. You should send him a message, @Tttacodan, I believe is his name. There are other posts on here about them. I got mine second hand from a TW user. Hope this helps, or someone can add more info to aid further.

 

Gave the ol' gal a bath yesterday. Including clay bar and Meguire' hybrid ceramic wax. I was really amazed at how much difference the clay bar makes. You can actually feel the surface and how smooth it is. The wax was pretty easy to put on. Guess I'll see if it was worth the $16 from Walmart.

Skipped out on detailing the inside and tire shine. Some dust inside but nothing overly bothersome. Tire shine usually gets thrown back onto the body of the truck (especially with off road tires ). But outside needed a bath. Probably been 6-8 months since I last washed the mechanical mistress.

 

Picked this up as my tire carrier will have a mount for it.

 

I bought this step for my mother. Makes it easier for her to get into my truck

 

Not a bad idea. My mom and aunt are getting older and have a hard time getting in (even with steps). Of course my mom was bitching about the off road tires. She asked how long they last and etc. My only response was "they last long enough."

She wasn't too amused.

 

changed out the grill. I’ll give it a few days to let it sink in.

 

I was hauling some stuff for the first time in my truck and i noticed the passenger side of the bed had a bigger gap then the driver side. the truck is 3 weeks old. should i try and get the dealer to fix it? seems like the gap is a bit excessive, would bed, would bed stiffeners help?

 

Dealer needs to dix that! Bed stiffeners may help but a new truck shouldn't look like that.

 

Yea, unless he had a hippo flopping around back there for those 3 weeks it should not look like that.

 

yeah all i was carrying was a lawnmower and a rocking chair. i made an appointment with the dealership to get it fixed.

 

They'll probably just put a ratcheting strap to the opposite side tie down and to the latch on the wider side and pull it straight. But bed stiffeners would be a good thing to install once they are finished.

 

I made my first Costco run with the new bed mat.

Holy. Crap. That thing is WAY stickier than I thought it would be.

I put 2 jugs of apple juice, a box of cereal and a couple other things in the back and nothing moved an inch. That is impressive.

 

I added some footwell lights, installed the Meso dome light so my Meso map lights no longer look out of place and installed The Great Wave off Kanagawa patch that I got off a TW member.

 

How did you do those footwear lights? Seen a few posts on this thread about them recently.

Brand?

 

I knew someone would ask.

It’s actually just a single blue USB LED attached to a USB extension cable that is run to a dual USB port I have wired up under the dash . The USB LEDs I purchased are no longer available on Amazon, but I did use

Bevinsee Mini USB Plug-in 5V Lamp Interior Atmosphere Ambient Lighting Kit for Cars,Computer,Laptop,Power Bank,USB hub,Blue,3pcs

this different brand in another spot on the truck and they are even brighter than the ones I used. The USB extension cable fits perfectly in a square hole at the bottom of the passenger side dash trim. On the drivers side, I just have one zip tied in place at the moment. I have attached a pic of the passenger side led placement and the drivers side illumination just for the heck of it.
