What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OBA mock up this morning. The compressor is on top of the tank.



Running to the store for plumbing and HW while the paint on my brackets dry then I’ll get it bolted up for real. Unfortunately it won’t be running today cause there’s some big electrical mods on the slate first and parts for that are still inbound.

 

Haven't done anything today, other than follow the news of the devistating tornadoes that hit Kentucky (hardest) and other states in the region. Hoping all Taco World Fam and their loved ones are safe.

Such a tragic blow just before the holidays. Damn.

 

Installed JBA uppers to complete the Bilstein 6112-5160 Icon RXT lift.

 

SDHQ battery terminals - in an effort to clean up the power taps for various electrical upgrades, I installed a set of SDHQ battery terminals on a rainy Saturday.

 

Gave her belly a good scrubbing today and put her in the heated tent to dry over night so I can undercoat tomorrow. All that’s left for maintenance before I put it away before winter is spark plugs, coolant flush, tire rotation and a clean. I’ll probably detail the cab and treat the leather myself and then send it off to a buddy for a buff. Then it’s going in storage for the winter, yes I’m undercoating to put into storage lol, but hey I’ll have a fresh truck ready and waiting for adventures in the spring.

 

Gonna do mine tommorow. How many cans did you use?

 

Absolutely! My dude @kmorgan3 has exactly what you need and his harnesses are A+

Give him a shout or just search function his threads/posts. Can't miss it.

 

Their eyesight isn't my problem.

OEM bulbs legally have to meet that 50' standard, I'm sure.

If I was pulled over for that nonsense I would challenge the shit out of that ticket.

 

If I reincarnate as a Taco I wanna be yours.

 

oh no you don’t, the abuse she gets off-road is why it’s treated so good in the shop.

 

Oh and it use to see winters I just stopped winter driving it last year, the liquid road salt they use around here eats everything and it’s just not worth driving a new vehicle in winter even if you undercoat them, the shits just so abrasive. The welds around my cab mounts and my lower control arms, front axles, and just about every component in the area of the front tires is flaking paint and showing rust as bad every other generation of Tacoma’s.

 

Check out the weather forecast for the Eastern Sierras. Kirkwood for example. Big doings coming up this week ahead!

 

Thinking outside the box i salvaged two pieces of already made scrap metal. Made a rack and added some hardware for tiedowns. I love saving money.

 

That looks like "the PITS"! ;-)

 

Your expressed attitude won't help much in court.

 

Thankfully it's evidence that counts.

 

Had it done. T3 services Manahawkin NJ

 

how do you like those jba’s? I’m looking into them for my pro lift.

 

Getting sick of my battery being low or dead due to lack of driving (I work from home, and its not cold enough for ice fishing season) So I am installing a charging port to the front.

Here I am testing it through the grill before I make the full harness, then I am going to mount it right next to the fog light I think, though I am going to check some other locations in the front too.
