What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have these sitting in a box waiting for install.
Was it an easy swap? Do you have BSM? If so how bright is it? Similar to OEM?

 

Fantastic look and i love the history you have with Toyotas

 

Thank you! I ordered in June, great bunch if guys working feverishly to get orders filled. Derrick showed me around the shop super cool and said sourcing steel has become challenging. Well worth the wait can’t wait to break them in soon.

 

This is the stock exhaust.. polished by hand the last 10 inches of the tailpipe, masked it with a sharp line and used ceramic header paint on the rest. I live where Salt is, I figure this will help keep it from rusting so quickly. Plus it looks like I have a custom exhaust now with no welds on the tip.

 

It was super easy maybe 5 minutes each side. Yes, I did BSM and turn signals. Just as bright as oem.i think. If you have the turn signal option just know black/white goes to pink.

 

I love mine, built like a tanks and sturdy as a rock. I canned the parts from the center setup for how i have it installed here but like it so much I ordered a replacement ball head to add back to

Toes

 

I put an end to the long bed vs short bed discussion today:

Thanks for the heads up bro. Just went and checked mine. It's been on there almost a year and this is the first time I've checked it. It's definitely doing it's job.

The Taco has about 8200 miles on her so this is about 4,000 miles worth I'm guessing. I make a lot of short trips.

 

Agreed I’m working out how to wire direct for the one I got this week, thinking of wiring the wireless charger to the same circuit and using the wireless charger switch to turn both on and off direct from battery. Will post what I end up with.

 

As I live in the rust belt i Did the wool wax undercarriage treatment... used 11 spray cans but would definitely recommend using a air compressor as the cans are somewhat inconvenient and inconsistent spray patterns also its cheaper using a gallon or two over the cans... though it doesn't smell as bad as fluid film it does still smell.

 

I put on the hard tonneau cover

 

What is it that you are checking? What is this?

Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. It's a JLT Catch Can.

pass-thru catch can (oil) I presume. Not familiar enough with this engine, but ran one on my LC for the PCV line. or sorts.

 

Yeah, I had one on a CTS-V with an LS-6. I just didn't realize until now that guys were running them on Tacoma's.

 

There are several threads about them here. It's where I got the idea.

 

That load looks a bit long for a long bed anyway.

 

Those Rav 4 knobs are a perfect replacement fit, right?

 

Replaced rear shoes and drums. Installed ss brake lines up front and flushed the brake fluid.
