What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Loaded it up and went for a paddle.

 

I think you're right on roof coming down an extra inch... that said I don't have anything else to compare it to. It's almost like there is an inverted gutter around the edge of the roof and the whole center portion of the roof is beefcaked up that extra inch.

Edit: I think I quoted the wrong post. Meant to reply to @Nomad26

 

Your truck looks great!, I'm curious about the dash cover. I like how form fitting it is.
Thanks

 

And for $498 shipped to my door, after the tacomaworld $100 discount, is a no brainer IMHO.

 

Was given a Storm case and decided to mount it today. It’s only going on when I need it for trips (like my awning and fly rod carrier). Probably put most of my recovery gear in it.

 

I practically have one on 4 of the 5 vehicles. Mine are generic, but are anodized in red, black, silver and blue. They do catch the nasty stuff before entering the engine !

 

Huh, check that out, my old knobs weren’t illuminated, but they have these little lights above each knob. I’ve never noticed that before… Glad my new knobs didn’t cover the lights!

 

Dirt cheap too. Think I paid less than $30 for mine.

 

Installed the lomax cover

 

Which one did you get?

 

Thats exactly what mine looks like. Thanks!!

Got my T-Tunes harness in today. They even wired in subwoofer high level output into the front left channel for me. The harness is getting wired to a LC7i. Cut off all the excess and got it soldered to my two speedwire runs. Tearing apart the truck next weekend for the install.

 

I was at a college football game today and an older guy asked me if I drive a squatted truck. Might be my next mod


jk. yeah I'm in college, I live in north carolina, and may or may not have a mullet.

ECU beat Tulane if anyone cares

 

I live in Louisiana and never knew Tulane had a football team lol

 

In the middle of almost finishing my interior wiring. Just waiting on 2 more components in the mail for next weekend, Powertray mounting plate for next weekend, and start buttoning the interior up. Thanks to the DIY RTMR thread on here.
I took the easy way out and just paid for a mounting tray rather than making my own... One day maybe.

- Have ECT and camera button going to Meso's DIY stealth shift knob buttons (waiting on package).
- Bunch 'o light switches going to lights I don't even own yet. Only S2 Pro ditch lights, which arent even on the truck either.
- relocated a the traction control switch to the roof beside rear dif lock
- relocated BSM switch to left side panel.
- relocated 12V cigerette outlet to back side of the center console. Looks factory as fuck too.
- relocated infotainment USB to center console storage. USB type C coming out of storage for a crisp look with no tampon string wire hanging out of the center of the lower dash anymore.

- Also in the middle of installing docloco's rear seat molle panel. Painted some loops black and have black foam, just a matter of cutting foam and assembling now.
- Mounted 285/70/R17 Duratracs on Black Rhino Warlord 17x9 et -12 wheels. Just have the truck parked on the driveway for now, but I'm cuttting cab mounts off and welding on Alipine Designs cab mounts in a couple of weeks. I'll get pics of the truck once I clean the blue film off the white lettering... maybe I'll just get a pic anyways.

Before:


After(ish):

 

Damn thats really clean

 

Nice! I ordered a Rebel about a month ago... hoping I’ll get that install call earlier than the “up to 3 months” lead time they told me. Where did you buy yours from?

I’m 99% sure the keyless entry can be installed after the fact. I ordered mine with it ($225). I just installed the OEM remote tailgate lock last week, so everything will be locked by the FOB or touch sensors.

I ordered mine with roof rails and a Yakima rack, but I didn’t go for the the Sportsman package (another $150). I don’t really care for roof top tents, so I don’t see me ever exceeding the standard 200 lbs. up there with just kayaks, snowboards and paddle boards. I assume since they gave me the option, that means that the rails have nothing to do with it being reinforced or not.

 

Thanks bud.
I'm trying. Haven't fucked anything up just yet.
We'll see how cutting cab mounts off the frame of a truck that has >5,000km goes.
And not burning through the steel when I go to glue the new ones on like a complete goomba.
