What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the KC Hilites Cyclone V2 Amber rock lights kit. I’m not 100% on the placement just yet and the under the hood wiring could be better but I am extremely pleased with the quality of the lights, harnesses, and kit overall. That being said the 5m harness to the passenger rear cyclone was too short reach where I wanted to mount it so it’s on the frame near the wheel well for now. I also ran out of bolts and didn’t have any lying around so the back two are on with zip ties, not ideal but works great for now!

 

Yes

Yes, the peninsula run is awesome.

 

Keep avoiding social media. Live vicariously through others.

 

Put some ChristMas spirit on the rig

 

Looks good Col. Question. Will the sunroof version fit in a non-sunroof Tacoma? I prefer that one, as it's tucked rearward, instead of across the roof.

 

I thought the point of the power tray and extras were to also keep the wiring tidy no. I still want/need to go down that rabbit hole

 

I'm very tempted to switch out my color matched flares for black. That looks really good

 

you’re right it is. I connected the main power for the lights to it and ran the additional fuse box and ground post on the relay/fuse cover. Six lights with varying wires all over the truck, it’s not pretty but works for now. I may run everything under the tray but i also have ditch lights and the hood scoop light. A lot of wires and relays.

I’m looking at going with the aux beam or switch pro next to be honest. Running wires though the firewall is also a pain in the ass

I ordered the Z36 heavy duty kit.

 

Can you post or send me a picture with out the lights on? I ordered the same today.

 

New lift this weekend. 5100s and 886 coils, jbs and an all in the rear. Rides great. Bumper next week!

 

Got the trd exhaust today (the gasket and hanger pliers the other day). I’d really like to get 2 new bolts, if anyone has a pt# handy or the actual name I can search it correctly?

Depending on how I feel in the morning I may just drive up to Toyota, get the bolts and head to the shop to install. Tips are welcomed

 

Looks good!

 

I've been looking at getting the same one. Post up a sound clip if you can. Are you re-using the gasket?

 

My boss has a pro so I knew what I was getting as far as sound, I’ll try to figure a clip out for you

no I’m replacing the gasket and likely the bolts too

 

Awesome! You’ll love the exhaust

 

I probably wouldn’t of been able to pull the trigger if I never heard the bosses pro- high price to justify but I liked the sound and tip and keeping oem parts.

I like the more subtle style of things and aligning that to my person needs/wants. It’s sometimes hard to be realistic with yourself and your use when there is so many cool shit you can add. Same thing I had to do when purchasing the truck. I had a 4x4 here for just about 10 yrs and not once did I ever use it. Yes it’s nice to have if you need it one day but for my use it wasn’t realistic and now I have a queen.

 

Yeah I totally hear you on that. I luckily have had to use my 4wd in the snow multiple times already so thankful I got it. If I hadn’t moved out of Ca, probably could have done with just a 2wd

 

I don’t trust those Amazon ratings and reviews. They’re so full of BS paid reviews, it’s hard to tell what’s real or fake. This website is a tool to try and help you filter out the BS reviews. Just copy and paste the Amazon link onto this website and it runs it through an algorithm and will give you a more accurate rating on the product and hopefully weed out the hundreds of obvious fake reviews. It’s not fool-proof but just another tool to help you guys out. I’ve found it useful for some items so I thought I’d share. Hope it helps.
