What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

From MESO

 

Meso hex rack and gas hole. Nevwr would have known it existed if it wasnt for @ClassyTacos . Your install was playing on the radio while i put this in my friend. Im the dude "knivesbymark" chatting with you on your youtube channel. This rack will be holding the dogs first aid kit, a flash light and Possible a fishing rod or two. Its mostly for the dogs stuff ill need to get at quickly right now.
And i had to add a new scan gauge. I let my old one go with my Xterra when i sold it. The scan gauge wires are completely hidden with it mounted there. Easy and no effing around.
Kane was pissed we werent going anywhere, kept standing at the open doors looking at me as if saying , wtf dude.
Oh, and some asshole bird almost took a shit on my vacuum cleaner. Bastard.

 

Changed out the black plastic door striker covers for some near matching blue colored stainless steel covers found on Etsy.

Hooke Road tailgate insert

 

Cowl Induction'ed my 2018. This was the best solution I found for water crossings / dirt / mud after removing fender liners. May need to do a write up on it for everyone else.

***Made it***

I really like this, i really do. But this does make me laugh. Proof tacoma guys will buy ANYTHING.

Now post a link so i can go look! Hahhahha.

 

Did the biennial rear brake service to clean out dirt and debris from two and half wheeling seasons. However, most of my time was spent wire brushing residue from the sodding paper gasket Toyota puts on the wheel hub



Took the opportunity to upgrade to Wagner drums P/N BD126322E. Unlike OEM drums, these are fully E-coated and machined to achieve balance without weld-on weights. I used Centric P/N 118.44035 drum brake hardware kit.

 

Well, you're not wrong.

Try the white camper shell with horizontal gold and orange stripes at the base of the camper interrupted by the window. Either thick or thin stripes might look good.

Wtf?! Even smaller?! I had the silicone ring on there to make the knobs a little bigger, but the last time I pulled the head unit, the left knob popped in half and I lost the center cap, still hasn’t surfaced in a clean truck. So I replaced them with the bigger rav4 knobs.

 

Dude! 12 bucks? Cant afford NOT to do this.

 

Somehow needs a bottle opener

 

What, dont have teeth?

 

TRD Pro skidplate installed...can't really tell so I spent several hundred for no noticeable difference. But I've wasted more money in worse ways before so...oh well?



What the skid plate looks like. Spent the money to get it Line-X'd and then of course paint matching TRD letters.



I guess if I got a larger lift it would show better? Currently have a 2"/1.5" lift.

 

Did you have any issues with the fitment? Some of the reviews on Amazon claim it interferes with the tailgate closing.

 

Sounds like a perfect justification for a 6” lift and 35s

 

I don't want those headaches but I couldn't help but think about it for a few moments.

 

Agreed, and agreed

 

Yay Amazon bling

And a new battery, and a fresh KDMAXX flash for the AGM battery
