What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Truck looks great man.

 

Not yet. We are in crappy in between period where all the fish have gone to deeper water so I cant catch them from the bank, but there is no ice for me to walk on to reach them.

Figure I have about a month before I can go out on the ice.

 

That’s crazy. I had my bumper off to install a hidden winch and like a week later they meso piece came back in stock. I’ve had the grill off many times since and can’t figure out how anyone would do that.

 

Ha yep molle is a pain to weave if you want the item snug. Especially on a gun belt

 

oh I was confused bc in that pic he showed it only had one small screw

 

Weather tech seems more plasticy if that’s even a word and they felt more slippery than the husky ones. I have the oem Toyota ones right now.

 

See i am just the opposite. The Huskies felt hard and plasticy to me. The Weather techs didnt even need any time to form or relax, they were perfect from the start.

On another note i changed the oil today. Plan to do diffs later in the week.

 

That’s very nice! Love how black taillights change the whole look of the truck. Winjet right?
What did you use to make your truck so glossy?

 

Just hit 5k miles this week. Got everything I need for my next few oil changes.

Looks like 5k service only calls for fluid check and tire rotation. Y'all wait for 10k on oil changes or do them sooner? I'm already pretty accustomed to doing 3-5k from driving beaters...

 

What’s special about them? I was looking at swapping for these. https://www.tacomods.com/shop/black-anodized-aluminum-radio-knob

 

What phone case matches up with that mount? I’m partial to my UAG case

 

did you have the husky xact?

 

What type of valve is that?

 

I dont think so, i have had 2 sets and neither were very exact but were vehicle specific.

 

Those are badass! I like those better!

 

Paint correction/polish, DD SS3 fogs in amber, and swapped back to the factory grill

 

Definitely a pucker factor drilling in to the top of these cases, but stoked how it turned out. 2 trax mounted on each lid, sealed with silicone, cut down my waterport brackets to fit in between. The boards took up so much room on the side of the bed. Can’t take credit for the idea, I’ve seen a couple people mount the trax this way and I thought it was a great space saver. Gas struts still work great. The lids are double walled so a little careful blade work just to fit the socket in there and it worked out great.

 

For draining the filter housing... Can't say how well it works since I've never used it.

This is my first vehicle with the cartridge style filter. Hoping this with the hose makes it a little cleaner than the plastic thing that comes with the filter. My main concern is the metal marring the plastic filter housing.

It’s a Quad Lock or a variation thereof. Very well known to many of us also in the moto community.
