What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Didn't do this all today but during this past week.

Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners



Off Grid Engineering Dual Battery setup with Redarc. Kept the factory starting battery for now as my truck is still pretty new and picked up an FT750-35 for the Aux battery. Double MRBFs on the aux battery are for a future Powertrays/Switch Pros install



Installed an ARB twin with a SLEE 2nd Gen ARB mount bracket and a custom fabricated bracket from Tacoma World that I picked up second hand on here.



Ran the hose to a quick disconnect chuck from Wits End I mounted behind the grill.



Also made my own switch harness to have the switch right by the compressor. The compressor has its own inline fuses and is connected directly to the aux battery.

Also spent some time wiring up the Switch Pros and PowerTrays bracket for a later install.

 

Don't you just love to see the Toyota Service Specials? We can change your cabin air filter for only $39.95! Amazon has the exact same paper filters for $7 each and we all know it takes a good minute and a half to replace it.

 

After cutting up my truck for a few hours and trimming the fenders, I finally got my 33s on

 

i don’t have a video of myself removing the old ones and installing the new inserts. But I watched from other YouTube videos and made it harmless and easy. The most complicated part is keeping the aluminum guides in its place for the insert to be held firm

 

Awesome job, looks great

 

Nice, I just returned from Moab and a road trip around the SW myself about a month ago. Good times, good trip

 

I changed out my stocks for OEMs on my 2019 sport, they fit good. good luck

 

wow those total chaos stiffeners look really freaking nice! I've seen another company, RagoFabrication, who sells bed stiffeners as well. Those stiffeners are shorturl.at/atLQ4 and I couldn't help but notice your Total Chaos products go further up the tailgate. Do you think those Total Chaos would be more effective at their job because of that?

I am just curious as I've only seen that Rago Fab brand sell them. I am not even entirely sure who needs stiffeners, I don't believe I do at the moment but I may need to look into them some time down the road if my wallet permits my dream build

 

To be expected, this dealer is known to be pretty bad.

I hear you, I’m an ex mechanic and was brought up to do things correctly with all things on life… but I do know how some other people operate.

This was a free service and was the only reason I was at the dealer.

My dealer is useless, being on an island I am stuck with them until I leave…

 

Used the truck as storage for some junk while cleaning out the garage to get my other cars out.

 

yea.. i'd say that garage needed cleaning.

 

But wait... you can! Rhino has a website, and they sell online (including on Amazon)

Originally installed my front locker onto my switchpro, but to make room for possibly future plans decided to go with a more OEMlook for the locker. Installed a overhead switch panel from @MESO and a CH4x4 switch.

 

There were 3 mattresses stacked ontop of the challenger, my bmw was covered with kids toys. Both cars are now clear, but I need to swap the parking spaces of them to make better use of the space I have.

 

Installed the TRD intake. Red letters for the engine cover arrive tomorrow. And I know, little to no gains from the intake, I don't care, I just wanted it. I bet I get 5 horse power from the red engine cover letters though.

 

Did the TRD intake include the velocity increase tube?

 

Swapped out the Tiger Soft roll up for the OEM hard Trifold. Just trying something different. All covers have pros and cons.

 

Yes it did. Included the oiled filter also but I am not using it right now. We get terrible sand storms where I live and the oiled filters let in too much. I might use it for long trips to the gulf coast but for now I am running the stock paper filter.

On a side note, How you know you have been through a real sand storm?.......There is sand inside the light bulb in your refrigerator.

 

It worked out. Paid Serra Toyota to do the install. They had no issues. Just cost me $259 bucks

 

Perfect, thanks.

Probably came with steel wheels. I bought it used with the Matte black pro wheels already on it.
