What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I routed the drain lines on my Undercover Flex to the existing drain holes using barbed hose fittings. I’ll try to include the original post that explains everything.

 

Running on unpaved or gravel backroads is almost unavoidable without slowing way down, mud guards and/or running boards, tube steps or sliders with fill plates. Silver hides it really well compared to most other colors.

 

So I see all these other trucks with lifts, no mudflaps & huge rock chuckers on this site & none of them go on gravel roads to get to their off road spots?? I'm blown away that this is the first time I took it (off pavement) and it was this bad...do all you off-roaders just keep it on pavement all the time? Not trying to be an a$$ just asking if this is the norm for the big tire guys

 

50K miles

call it 50 miles/hour
1000 hours..

Oh! That is a lot of time in one seat.

on such a winter's day/.........

 

TRD Filter and Accelerator, RIPP Coil packs (driver side sucked,) and a Borla muffler. I don't know if it feels and different. Maybe a little peppier? Does sound different, in a good subtle way.

 

I'll grab a pic tomorrow but mine are beat to hell as well even with mud flaps on the truck. Was kinda bummed at first but stopped letting it get to me as I bought the truck with the intentions of offroading so its just part of the game. The one that really bums me out is the dings in my tailgate after carrying my dirtbike on a hitch carrier this last trip. Turns out it was perfect angles for the rocks to fly up off the rear tires, bounce off the bike and pepper the tailgate. That one hurt...

 

What is the paint protection like on the long beds? I've never looked at one up close. As a short bed I don't have much paint exposed in that area. I also don't have flares though

 

I have unpainted flares, no flaps, leading edge of the rear flare is peppered pretty heavily. Not a heavy off roader, but it does happen.

 

Ran across a company called ThinSkinz https://thinskinz.com/. They make a hard shell interior door panel armor. Currently only available for Jeeps but seems like a newer company and their website has a “Vehicle suggestion form” to gauge interest to expand product lineup https://thinskinz.com/pages/thinskinz-vehicle-suggestion-form

I submitted one for Tacoma 3rd gen. Would love a set of these because cleaning dog slobber is a real pain especially on the rubber like material.

Not even just big tires. I’m stock and live on a loose asphalt road. Before I put flaps and the aluminum runners it was bad- didn’t notice how bad until I mounted the boards (ended up taking it down to do a full touchup on all the chips before putting them on)

 

LOL must be the outta state ones that moved here. been here all my 51 yrs and yes there are some weird people lol just depends on where ya go i am in a small town near gainesville LOL

 

I like that bumper setup. What brand is it and where did you get it?

 

Nice set up.
Weird question...where did you source your hose clamps for the remote reservoirs?

 

Thanks! It’s a slimline hybrid bumper from Southern Style Offroad.

 

Cut out some cardboard templates for Roam 95L cases to see how they’d fit up there. Pretty damn perfect… Even enough room for the waterport to go back up there in the middle of I cut the brackets down. Probably make my own.

 

Many never go offroad and those who do know it's just part of offroading. I live on a gravel road and take service roads mostly so that's how I know. Another option is to put clear bra/skin on all those vulnerable areas.

 

I got the diamond plate HD with all the cleats. I liked the look of it, but the smooth one is sexy also.

 

I think that’s correct as it looks exactly like mine, and that’s what mine is.
