What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Haha, just leaving work now, and my Tacoma brethren have found me! Must be night shift guys/gals, cause they weren’t here this morning. Put a smile on my face after a long hot day. Thanks fellow Taco owners!

From the big brown shipping hub in West Chester, PA.

 

KDMax tune, a bath then drank a beer and stared at my truck.

 

I do this all the time and my wife thinks I’m crazy. It’s soothing. Haha

 

Put some Yakima hd bars on the tonneau cover today.

 

Looks good. What do you plan to mount on the bars?

 

I have an iKamper mini that I’ll put on when I need to. Otherwise I’ll just have a cargo basket on usually.

 

Finally finished my dual battery setup. SDHQ dual battery kit with Blue Seas Acr and 2 Odyssey group 34 batteries, Power Tray and Switchpros 9100

 

Added the OEM tonneau bed gaskets as an alternative to cramming a wad of butyl tape in there to help weatherproof the bed. Prepping for a SmartCap install sometime next month.

Detailed "instructions" and parts list is available in the build thread.

 

New sliders and Meso turn signals. Today was a good day.

 

Sequential turn signal update- not too difficult and significantly brighter.

got on Amazon for about $40

 

3 inch OME lift with new mk6's and 33 inch ridge grapplers

 

I just wanted to mention that the % value of window tint is actually rated as the amount of light that it allows to pass through. So 15% film would actually be darker than 20%. Just FYI.

I've heard of people having their windshields tinted with 80% or 90% - barely darker than nothing a tall, so it's not noticeable. But it supposedly helps cut down the glare from headlights at night and cut down some of the UV energy on a hot day.

 

Good info, that's why it's so damn dark!

 

Thanks man! I powder coated it red and I'm deciding whether to do the battery hold downs also.

 

I bought those plugs after I bought my cap 2.5 yrs ago. I have still yet to install them just haven’t been motivated enough to remove the cap but maybe if I had a pulley setup in the garage.

 

I have to get my katzkin installed on the 28th. So you're happy with them? Do they look factory? I know they say it takes time for the wrinkles to get out. I am very stoked to get mine done

 

you know your getting old when you have to roll down the windows and turn down the radio to see driving lol

 

I am very happy with them. Better than factory leather it seems. Seat feels more plush as well but that might just be a placebo.

 

I found some molded in black on Ebay about a year ago. They are 2nd gen, so a bit smaller.

 

Just got this installed!
