What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

is the Lomax cover soft or hard?

I love your bed set up...might be stealing the idea!!!

 

Anyone have a recommendation for what kind of shop I can take my truck for removal of star screw that is now stripped out trying to install tailgate theft bracket.

 

All you guys with the retro bedside decals are gonna make me get some too lmao. These look good!

Wow. I didn’t know they had those. I’m going to look into that. Thanks for sharing

 

Installed the front bed rail on my truck, made a custom set of brackets, and mounted a pair of X-Bull recovery boards on them.

Installed garmin dash cam mini 2!

Still trying to figure out how to get that big plastic crap behind the mirror out of the video while being perfectly centered. Messed up the sticky pad mount moving it around too much

 

I stripped out two of the Torx bolts from the bed rails a couple days ago. Had some time this afternoon, so went over to Lowe's and picked up a SpeedOut Screw Extractor Set. Got both of the stripped bolts out pretty easily and replaced them with some fresh OEM bolts I picked up from my local Toyota dealer. Learned a valuable lesson in the process and will be tightening them down by hand from now on.

 

Saw the same one except East Tennessee

 

Got my new @DiamondBack Covers HD bed cover installed tonight. Opened the box last week to discover that one of the panels had been damaged in transit. It's a surface scratch, so nothing major, but it is a bit of an eye sore. I reached out to customer support and they are sending out a touch-up kit. Not expecting much, but that's what they wanted me to try before exploring a replacement option. In the meantime, they told me to put it on the truck and let them know what I think. It has only been on there for a couple hours, but I am loving it already.

Cover is a hard, tri-fold one!

I appreciate the kind words!!

 

Happy that I could enable your Tacoma addiction. It was @arthur106 that told me about them, in this thread.

 

It's interesting you bring this up because I have been thinking the same thing. I upgraded from my 2018 Sport to a 2021 OR and can definitely tell the power difference. This was also the case for my 2021 AG.

 

Everything. Color match, everything.

 

Haven't posted in a while but I've done a lot to the truck since April. Gonna take a few posts but I'll try to date them as I go. Photo heavy!

Mid April - Added Baja Designs Squadron Sports (Clear Driving Combo Lens) with Rago Fabrication low profile ditch brackets.
Before:

After:


End of April - Received my CBI Sliders (Painted), 'Overland' Skid Plates (Raw Metal), and Gas Tank Skid Plate (Raw Metal). Side note: Really wish I had this for my Arkansas trip, I damaged the stock skid plates pretty bad, gouged the plastic gas tank skid and left some good marks on my rear diff.



Early May - Painted the skid plates (don't have pictures installed). Took the time to learn how to prep and paint metal. Started from gas tank skid and worked my way forward.

 

Continued from the last post, also photo heavy. I hope its not against the rules for double (maybe triple) posting.

Mid May - Made my own 4 tire inflation system, received my 285/70r17 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro and Method 703s




End of May - Got the tires mounted on the rims, still waiting on all the pieces of the lift from AccutuneOffRoad. Also hammered the pinch weld and adjusted the fender liner. Got really impatient and installed the new wheels on without my lift. Rubbed on the cab mount and a little on the front fender liner at half lock and full lock. Really like the look of the bigger tires with no lift though.

 

How did you mount the net on the inside above the seat? That’s a fantastic idea!

 

I'm sorry, but I do not. Not sure where she got it from. All I know is that it already had the sticky tape on it so it was very easy to install. If I had to guess, likely Etsy, Amazon, or e-bay.

 

I cannot tell much of a power difference.
