What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

A little Mountain Hatch action installed today.

.

 

I've been very pleased with it. I agree that it is quite pricey...The "color core red" version that I got was priced at $269. They run occasional discounts, and I found a discount code that brought it down to about $250 with tax and shipping. Definitely a "splurge" as opposed to something required, but then again, so are many of the mods discussed in this thread. We really enjoyed the smooth surface and cup holders when setting up on the beach, and it's a knee saver when climbing in and out of the bed.

As for plastic vs. aluminum, I considered both, but I preferred the look of the Mountain Hatch version, especially with the red accents on my Barcelona Red Taco.

 

Those are Rays Dura-Nuts. You can colored nuts anywhere but mines specifically are made by Rays Engineering

 

Started prepping for an audio install:

 

So jealous, that will be my next big mod I do to the truck. What a shame that the JBL system is very weak. My 2011 Lexus system destroys this one and I only added a single 10" DD Audio sub in the trunk.

 

you mean the Datsun?

 

Had some time this midmorning so I decided to clean up the engine bay a little bit, since it has not been done by me since getting the truck early March this year. Had the typical thin film of black shit and dust so not a terrible task except the sun was out to destroy me. A nice detailer brush was used since the grime was not extensive and the nozzle set to mist so not to try and drown the truck. Once all nice and clean fired up the air compressor and and blew out all the water from every nook and cranny. I could have stopped there but I decided to use a new product I got from Chemical Guys to add a little protection from the buildup (hopefully) and a matte like luster to some of the plastics. That was clearly the easy part but I am really happy the way it came out. Sorry I didn't get any before pics. I didn't go all ape shit with the spray but just enough to make a visble difference, plus it smells really good like grapes.

 

Great job, can't even tell you took the emblems off.

 

hey buddy i have them on my 2017 tacoma made a huge difference. engine feels smoother and im getting about +3mpg, don't expect huge power gains what you get is smooth engine.

 

Should i get rid of my caper shell and go with a bed top? Edit* i have my tools in there but nothing passes over the bed line

 

Only you can answer that question. I would like to have both if I can find one cheap enough.

 

Maybe she just needs some prinsu racks on the cab and shell and some more gear to give her some more look

 

Z cars!\

I keep an SPL311* in reserve for when things are glum. (* that's the Roadster 1969, 1600 engine)

 

Thanks for the information

 

I'm praying for your son. i was that kid and nobody prayed for me. best possible wishes he can feel and see he's supported to grow strong with no trickery.

 

I want a set for my 2020 model @no vtec 4me.

 

I was thinking of doing this as well. I like that it's not at all overboard. Eventually, I'd like to get Katzkin seat covers in black with dark gray inserts, and blue stitching. I waited 3 months to get Voodoo Blue, dammit. I want to sprinkle a little bit of it inside too.

 

Wet farts.

 

But Sir, obviously @5nahalf isn’t clean!

 

It is now!, well actually I think its time for me to do it again.
