What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got a set on Friday. Thought I was going to push the radio through the front of the truck getting then on.

 

Nice setup.

Here’s Barcia on a Gas Gas MC250 Two Stroke. Love that sound!

My tickets are purchased for the 2022 Supercross Race at Daytona in March.
I’ll be there for Bike Week.

As far as the Tacoma goes I Ordered the power tailgate lock. I’ll install it when my Tailgate Panel arrives, hopefully soon.

 

Nice. I've been looking at that one myself. Where'd you order it from and how was the install? Got a pic of the end result?

 

Where did you buy them from and for how much if you don’t mind me asking? I want to do the same!

 

Lawyers obviously.

Read the fine print. Pulling a patent (that is granted) OBLIGATES you to defend your exclusive rights against any and all monetary losses.
IA Patent does not prohibit anyone from copying or producing your "Big Idea" in any way.

until it goes to the courts.

WIN WIN for the lawyers!

 

I'm smelling KLOTZ racing Two stroke in the air....or is that a wiff of Castrol racing R?..... memory lane

 

Here you go

 

Just ordered off Amazon. Install wasn't too bad. The whole nut on a stick is annoying, but doable. I left the bumper on, but some people seem to prefer taking it off or loosening it up on that side for extra room. The nut closer to the engine bay was tough to hold on to for tightening. I managed it with a short wrench, sockets wouldn't fit back there. Triple check the hole you need to drill wider by holding up the RP beforehand. I nearly drilled out the one slightly further back. Would have hated myself for that.

Finally got my 285/70/17's on yesterday! KO2s off my partner's Wrangler- he wanted to jump to 35s ASAP lol. Goodbye lil stock tires! Lift goes in tomorrow Running boards went on a few weeks ago, just been too busy for a photo, plus the weather's been crap. Shout out to @BudFriendguy for holding those for like a month and a half until I could make it down to Portland- thanks man!

Wow, wish I had a buddy like that. Looks great.

 

If you put the rear (vertical) parts of the rear seats down you can store the headrests behind there. Toyota designed places for them. Look in the manual.

 

I’ve been looking for radio knobs that will still illuminate and there’s not a lot of them out there. I was looking at those from tacomods and I really like them. I just wish they kept the illumination like the current OEM ones do. I found these from AJT. I’ve been impressed by everything AJT makes. They are taking pre-orders and shipping out around December 31st. You can get them in various colors (I went with cement since I’ve already replaced everything chrome inside my cab with cement interior accessories). My truck has the black out package and almost everything chrome has been blacked out. The radio knobs are $33 and called:
Radio Knobs (2020+ Tacoma V1) - CEMENT
PRE-ORDER: ESTIMATED DELIVERY BY 12/31/2021.
INCLUDES 2 KNOBS:
“Replacement radio knobs for the 2020+ Tacoma. Injection molded of high strength and impact resistant ABS plastic. Lights up like the OEM knobs. Easy pull off/press on assembly, no tools required. Made in USA.”
Currently, I have the factory OEM skinny knobs that I just added some size 8 silicone cement colored rings on. I think I’ll like these a lot more and they will definitely look and feel better then what I’ve got right now.

 

Installed a rear track for the end of the bed (while it should have included it from the factory, ordering it online from a local dealer was only about $35). Then I installed these Rago Fabrication mounts. The lower extensions were blemished but I frankly couldn't find anything wrong with them, seem like really high quality stuff.

 

Toyota designed a space behind the rear seat backs for all three of them. Take a look in the manual

 

Pro honda Hp2 & Sunoco 100 octane.

 

Been learning how to vinyl wrap this month. Also added white stitching and some various parts to the interior and painted and restitched a generic pro knob from Amazon.

Went with matte white as I'm about ti wrap the whole truck in it.

 

Looks awesome man. How did you do the stitching on the knob?

 

Thank you.

I just slowly unstitched it and watched the pattern then restitched it the same way in white nylon waxed thread.

 

This is a good question
