What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just installed door-jam protectors. Found carbon fibers for pretty cheap on Amazon.
Let's see if they hold up.

 

First wash in over a year

 

fresh wash and wax today

 

Looks great. The red "pops" and the diode SS3's shine.

 

After waiting 9 months or so, drove about 1400 miles this weekend from Western WA to Belgrade MT and back to get my GFC camper!

 

what wax did you use? Looks great!

Adams Americana Wax been my favorite of all the different waxes i’ve tried over the years

so easy to apply and remove makes waxing much less of a pain and it definitely lasts

 

Congrats. What’s your first thought of it? Weight making the truck feel sluggish? I’ve been debating on putting a deposit down on a GFC V2 myself.

 

Looks really slick!

 

only slept one night in it so far, but was way better than ground camping. The cushions are firm but comfy, and the windows are awesome. Also got an awning block kit mounted to the extrusion that works well.

driving wise, it adds a small amount of road noise from the wind hitting the front when going over 75mph or so. Pretty negligible though. Otherwise, driving feels fine, whole thing is like 280lbs so its not too bulky. also haven't seen a huge impact to mileage, averaged about 18-19mpg doing 70 most of the trip back.

Love the panels on it as well, its a really nice canopy on the bed.

only thing I’m a bit wary of is any quality control issues that I’ll uncover with time as a handful of folks have had, but so far nothing and its working nicely.

 

I have friends with one and have talked with the owner a couple times and both lead me to believe that if you have a problem and tell them, they fix it. They had a problem with their original panel hinges and so they sent a guy driving around the country full time converting them to the new style

 

A long and tedious day: anytime backup/front camera (I think I have a bad diode on the switch though so I am “everytime forward camera”, thanks @Gigan for the wisdom), Expedition Essentials 3TPAM install (way harder than I anticipated), and Total Chaos bed stiffeners (not difficult, thank goodness).

the hardest part about any mods I do is that my driveway is a pretty steep hill, so I always end up weirdly sore.

 

Did you watch the running4tacos video on it?

Replaced my fogs with Diode Dynamics SS3 Pods today. Well worth the investment IMO. Quick install too.

 

Finally got my morimotos! Huge upgrade from what I had prior, output is insane too, super bright

 

What did you have before?

 

Didn't go for the amber fogs like everyone else? Haha, they look good man!

 

The spyder projectors with sequential drl that tacomabeast sells. ran into some issues after 1 year having them and couldnt fix them. going all out with my build so i decided on morimoto over alpharex

 

Do you have a link or part numbers? My truck could benefit from this.

 

Took it too Williams Hill today.....

This is a little steeper than the picture does it justice.....awesome views of the valley

Carmel Stone rock quarry.....

Don’t think anyone has used this trail in a while.......

Nice view of the valley below if you zoom in. Took this from the comfort of the ac cooled cab; 106* outside......
