What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

2021 Trails must have different wheels? I’m a Tacoma newbie maybe someone else can answer that?

 

You two have different trucks. Trail [a trim based on the SR5] vs TRD Off Road

 

Looks dope!!

 

Kinda cool. Looks like it has stitches.

 

I spent 13 years in the Air Force as a crew chief and thats my maintenance badge, I currently do aircraft maintenance in the civilian world on helicopters and a semi newish helicopter pilot building hours, I will use this truck to do helicopter maintenance in remote areas and thats why im setting it up the way I am. I put the badge on it to represent my Air Force time. The badge is actually a Falcon to represent the airborne strength of the Air Force and its holding a bomb and a airplane.

 

My truck had 3 miles on it to when I picked it up just under 2 years ago..... I will hit 50k this month time flys when you're having fun

What do you work on Sir.

 

Looks dope! What wheels are those??

 

Nice! Yesterday I filled up and put in 24 US gallons and paid $124 ($5.25/gal) in Bulgaria. Was very happy as that was the cheapest gas since leaving the US in June.


Yesterday's wild camp

 

Advanced Auto for the spares -- Only $125 and it sits n the garage till there is another trip. Also, all my stuff has slowly been put together I didn't get everything all at once.

 

Joining the 35s crew here soon, waiting for my wheels to be done at powder.

 

Same here. I put my snows on the first of November. Still no snow here in northern Ontario yet. Probably another week before we see the white stuff.

 

I knew ammo was scarce but DAYUM!

 

Reading up on all the different views for builds. My .02 is take it out and see what you want next. Get that. Keep going out, believe me you’ll keep finding things you want with you or something you want to change. For some, everything should look cool. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s a ton of these trucks and others that never see the end of a paved road. Nothing wrong with that. I like everything to have a purpose. Add it as you want it. You notice I don’t say “need”, you don’t need anything to get outdoors other than yourself. I WANT to sleep off the ground. I WANT to be comfortable and organized. I do an incredible amount of research before I buy anything, I admit most of the time too much… I don’t want to buy something more than once. I get attached to shit. Your vehicle should make you happy and function the way you want it to. Take your time, do it right the first time, try not to bolt stuff on just to have it. Or do if that makes you happy. I love all the different ways people make their trucks theirs. Even the street trucks with kings

 

Great project, I didn't go to that extent but I wrapped another layer of leather over the stock to make it thicker...took me about one hour...I'm happy how it feels more meaty and love the red stitch look.

 

Unsure how it is compared to Chemical Guys as I've never used it. This works well. I'm at a point in life if something is not easy to use or does not do what it says. Then I move on. I'm not dealing with sh*tty products or tools.

 

Similar but different use of none standard items..... In Iraq I had tampons in my aid bag(dismount medic with infantry platoon). Made great bullet hole plugs, so great we had to tie red tags to the strings so the docs could be sure they found them right away when evac'd to the field hospitals.

 

Cleaned the interior…again.

 

Added a stinger charger/cradle and a usb port to the drivers side door. Seems to be pretty handy so far, I also have an extra USB port to keep something charged in the door pocket now. Getting the wires through the door grommet was a PITA, but otherwise straight forward. Still need to find a shorter black cable to clean everything up a bit.
