What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good job! This looks awesome!

 

I just took it apart and painted the chrome black. A bit of Bulldog, a few coats of krylon black and Some matte clear. They sell a black one but I thought wasn’t worth spending the money…

 

Looks to be factory tacoma:

$236 Toyota BedStep®

It’s not a race, slow down! I just drove to the desert and back and drove through a dust storm and now I can see a lot of little chips but no cracks.

 

Someone’s take off for $150.

 

It got dropped off at the Dealership this morning. I am hoping it is a common issue that can be reminded without removing the dash. That makes rattles.....I printed off the pics and told the Service writer this explains it all. He said yep AC condensation leaking inside your truck. Yes Sir and it still drops outside well too so not a total clog. I will let y'all know what they find.

 

haha in NY i didnt have a front plate on my bumper on my Exploder and i had it for about 3 years. Kept it on the dash. Never had an issue. I say for him to go for it lol Florida doesn't need one. so thats great for me lol

 

Bought mine in TX so it had the mount for a plate, took off the mount and have the 2 little marks from the lag bolts used to secure the mount. Still better than running a plate.

 

Saw this jewel today

And staying on subject, I drove mine to work today

 

What box do you have in the back?

 

Just ordered this bad boy after putting off getting a waterport for so long. It similar to the water port, but 5 gallons, has a battery to run a pump (also can plug into the trucks 12v) Going to use it to wash the kids sandy feet from the beach, and to wash the kayaks before loading them into the truck.

Great idea. Bookmarked!

 

Once I get it Ill post up some pictures/videos and a review. They just released these so there is not much info yet on them. Should be here friday, but they keep selling out so it may be longer.

 

Now to figure out how to mount it in the bed near the tailgate.

 

Yeah, thats something I will have to figure out for sure. Maybe for the time being I will mount it to my bed basket.

 

Great pictures. I lived in the Eatontown area for a couple years and spent the lion's share of my down time surf casting for stripers. Moved out of state in 2009, and to this day, that's the thing I miss most about that area. If you haven't checked it out already, I'd definitely recommend the StripersOnline.com forums (don't typo that one!). Lot of folks are pretty active on there with fishing reports and other good pieces of info.

 

Mine arrived last week. Got scratched/damaged in transit, unfortunately, but DiamondBack has shown nothing but amazing customer service.

 

It’s a mortar shell ammo can. Modified it with hinge and a pad lock. Nice thing is it’s completely sealed as won’t leak.

 

I was just drawing out plans for something that functions similarly. Well done!

 

Thanks for the link, I went ahead and ordered one.
