What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They just go over the original seat covers.

 

Got some Meso V5 turn signals.

 

Thanks.

 

I installed them on 2 of my trucks within 3 weeks. Real fun with arthritis in my fingers. As you said well worth it.

 

Covering up those stupid warning labels on the visors with matte black vinyl. Looks okay I guess...better than the labels anyway. We'll see how they hold up. I'll probably throw a sticker or decal on top once I find something I like.



And a little wash/wax....just in time for the PNW fall/winter.

 

With the "Pro" OEM or knockoff you don't need to remove the skid plate. As I can see you got one, all you need to do is unscrew the access door...I wouldn't trust a valve or anything instead of a plug that takes no time at all to remove. In fact I replaced my OEM engine oil pan plug with a magnetic plug from Gold Plug AP 03 for the v6.

I had the fumoto valve for years. There is no "door" for the drain plug. The only door is for the filter housing. There is a small opening for draining but the valve is simple and very secure.

 

Damn. this is out of stock... so I ordered this one:

but it's too long and doesn't sit flush.

 

I was never much of a roe guy, but I do love a good mess of pickled herring. Tuscarora Beach is still there. Did a lot of skiing in that area growing up. I haven't been that far north in the river for several years, though. I don't go much farther than Cannons Ferry/Holiday Island these days.

 

Hulk with tacos for the army green taco.

 

Installed the RCI skid plate I got during the Labor Day sale.

 

Cleaned the dried mud off the frame,then hit it with rubbing compound and wax.
This will be a one time only deal.

 

I used to carry a big heavy set of jumper cables behind the rear seats. Then I got to thinking, these days that is not a good idea. After all, you still need another vehicle to get you started with jumper cables. Why not lighten the load and save space and get a battery pack that is capable of jumping a vehicle, even one made for it. Researched things and settled on a NOCO. They have all sizes but I settled on this one. I have the dedicated case coming for it and if needed, I can use it to charge a phone or run most anything in an emergency.

Waxing your frame? Only a Tacoma owner!

 

They had them on a display right when I walked in the front door.

 

Damn, I remember when I was young and had the energy to do this kind of stuff. I know the feeling of pride and satisfaction when you are done.....I miss those days. Enjoy them while you can.

 

Quoted for reference

anyone here know about pulleys in conjunction with a hoist? Any small kind engineer types
If I need to draw it out because my question is hard to understand I will but let me try… I want to have 4 points of lift (1 at each corner of the cap), each corner will go straight up to a pulley that will all route to a centered “junction” (located rear of cap). I know I could have the hoist installed on the ceiling that keeps everything in a straight line but can I have a pulley (double stationary style) that will allow to route the hoist to the side wall making it perpendicular to the center line?

I’ll draw up a shitty picture and edit

 

Lol
Thank you.
Took me 6 years of buying anything off Craigslist and yard sales, cars,trucks, several motorcycles,tons of guitars, anything i knew i could make a profit on when i sold it. To have enough money to buy the truck i want.
It all started with a guitar for 20$ and sold for 40$
I saw an opportunity.
I turned a guitar into a truck.

I'm. 43

 

nice! I have one of those to put on. Got it used for a good deal.

 

Red circles are pulleys but is this even possible
