What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just gathered up tools and laid stuff out. bed lighting kit goes on tomorrow.

 

I'm a huge METALLICA fan. Grew up down the street from James when I was in high school in Novato, CA.

That looks cool, but would look better centered on the tailgate above TACOMA.

 

Added 2 rock lights to the inside of the hood for light in the engine bay. Best thing I’ve done. Here is the link https://youtu.be/akBbMVvewr8

Before after

 

Was this hard? Watched their vid and looks fairly straightforward.

 

Seen it. Love it. Can’t justify the cost. There is only so much disposable income each pay and I’m saving for Tacoma mods. If you look through his posts from 2020, at one point he listed the site he orders the pieces from and they are out of my budget at the moment.

By the way, I obviously did see it as you quoted the response he gave to my post.

 

That S2000 though!

 

It is a small space on each side of a drawer system that I added. They have covers and i kept forgetting what i kept inside : - )

 

On the way home this evening.

 

Wow, I don’t have a 1/10 of that!

 

Stuck this in I took off the trd badge… it was too close to being in front the light.

 

Put on my new bumper today

 

I get mine tomorrow, did you have to remove the bump stops?

 

Love your setup! What rack/ tent combo are you running? I notice the rack works with your tonneau cover which is something I am looking for.

 

No night shot?

 

I’m working on it. But it’s only 7:30 here and the sky is still well lit. It is foggy though…

 

I’m curious. What are the lights and the light mounts that you used?

 

Sdhq off-road btg mount
Top is 30” amber baja designs combo light
Bottom is 5 separate lights wired as 3 units. All Baja designs as well. Squadron s1. I mounted those on an aluminum extruded bar. Pattern is
Spot, wide (amber), work, wide (amber), spot
The switches are wired so the bar is independent, the wides are wired together , spots are together and the work separate.

 

I finally added my matching headlight trim pieces to my truck. I had these sitting around for about 3 years!!!

@MESO did a great job with these


I also got a windshield sun shade. I wish all installs are this easy!

 

Yea I know. When I catch up on the thread I comment as I go per page and I didn’t feel like deleting before clicking post. Plus it took me a good minute before I remembered his user name… couldn’t let that go to waste!

 

Looks nice. I have a set of those. Today I even had my grill off, I just didn’t have it in me to mess with the bumper at all. I was stoked that I changed my fairlead
Without removing the whole bumper, just got the valance off. So my meso pieces will probably sit for a while. Also finished all my wiring and connected the winch with a switch, in addition to the under seat air compressor.
