What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Started the undercoating process...



Washed and degreased



Applied...













Still have more to go, but the bulk of it is done!

Did decide to go ahead and throw a couple coats of Rustoleum Semi-gloss on the factory skids. The paint from factory kinda looks like crap.



(yes, my little flower thing is about dead, don't remind me, lol)

 

Old vs new

 

Ok, great. Never done anything like this but have tried watching a few videos.

I’ll end up using 3 cable clamps on each corner of the platform to be able to adjust the length of cable for level lifting

so the 4 pulleys for the 4 corner lifting points will be swivel pulleys needed correct as well as a single swivel at the junction? I planned on the dual line method going back to the hoist for the double weight capacity. What would the name/style of pulley needed for the stationary dual pulley be called or best used to get that 90 degrees

 

Get the Oem one , the china ones are hit and miss

 

Used it as a truck lol. Hauled some mulch to the mother in laws house.

 

Yes. Although I saw on Etsy a digital file for sale to 3D print an American flag that fits the garnish hole. Obviously I have no clue how it would work since I don't have a 3D printer.

 

Oooooow. Shiny!

 

Me and pickled Herring have had a life long love affair.

 

It's a mall crawler basically, the undercarriage would get pressure washed pretty much every other wash. Its seen about 2/3 of a winter since I bought it the week before Christmas 2020. It was washed right after every snow storm though. I would pull the skids every couple of months to wash that area as well.

 

Yea, us Tacoma owner's wax our Tacoma's like a woman waxes her private parts.

 

At the end of the day, it is what it is.

 

c_mento_taco_808 on Instagram makes custom vinyl covers for TSS sensors and other stuff.

 

Could you put the hoist in the attic of the garage or is there something above the garage like a room?

 

I Installed a snorkel upgrade, keeps my airintake filter clean

How many cans did it take?

 

Right now I'm at two. Looks to be another can and a half to finish.

$20 and less than thirty mins to do map, dome, and reverse lights.
All of them worked fine. Map light had to be installed just right or it flickered

Now I just need to decide what to get for the headlights

 

Double like !

 

Today, I replaced the grille on my 2021 SR5 with a TRD Pro grille + raptor lights.

I know it's a cliche mod, but it really does improve the truck's look quite a bit, imo.
