What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I need to start doing it too. I never do

 

I got bored and installed a TRD skid plate. The closest I get to off-roading is going on dirt roads on hunting trips. I just liked the look.

 

Merry Christmas, Mudder Truckers!!!

 

Merry Christmas all!

 

Absolutely top notch username my man

 

I agree with your assessment, 100%!

Some have called it “sexy” and to that, I also agree.

Also, it helps to buy one with a $94 discount to include free shipping. Thx to dealership in NY!

I ordered mine through bustabeatgeorge and the blue light does shine through. I believe he has some black ones as well.

 

Nice job! I'm running the same Off-grid kit, and I love it. I've been told that, with the ACR kit (instead of the DC to DC charger setup), you're supposed to run "matching" batteries, since they're connected in parallel when the relay is activated. I also know that those Odyssey batteries love a lot of voltage when they're being charged, in order to stay healthy. As long as you put a charger on it every few weeks and top it off, you should be fine. (I ruined one in my Xterra before I bought the Taco, because I never charged it).

Now, I use a CTEC 7200 to top off my batteries about once every 30 days (I'm running the same X2 batteries as your starting batt, but the smaller group 35 ones). Any charger with an "AGM mode" will work - you just need something that will top them off to about 14.6 or 14.7 volts. But I also had the alternator bumped up to 14.4 volts when I got the KD Max tune done, which keeps them pretty well charged for the most part.

I'm also curious, where are you planning to mount the ARB dual compressor? I ended up mounting mine in the bed, because I couldn't find a good mount setup once I occupied that space by the firewall with the aux battery.

 

Ok finished it up and I'm quite pleased with myself

 

Banged in X-Gauge codes on my newly updated Scangauge II. Now I can monitor transmission temps.

Great deal Canadian owners don't get flash of the latest software, instead a new board is installed and while they were at it they say the backing on the screen was peeling so they replaced the screen.

 

Looks like a very handy setup, well done!

 

Thank you!

 

Not really a mod, I got new weather techs for Christmas and put them in today.

 

Cleaned up my Auxbeam switch panel install with a new custom fit panel (Etsy/ Christmas gift from my wife). Looks like I need to order a small switch blank to cover the empty slot.

After:

 

Also did some convenience lighting upgrades:

Interior-behind the rear seats of the double cab, it always seemed so dark in the storage area so I put in some NiLight LED strips…

In daytime light/ still dark:

push button is located between the seats so it is accessible from either side of the 60/40 split seats:



They are also RGB/color LED’s on the remote just for fun:


And under the hood:
Same lighting kit purchased again:
Under hood maintenance lighting:

And put the extra strip behind the grill for some just for fun lighting:


Merry Christmas TacomaWorld,… happy modding!

 

After seeing so many posts about running wires through the firewall I bought these to install..

 

man that all looks great! Got me wanting to do the behind the seat and grill

 

Lil' holiday Red accent ....

 

Ahhh the hard way. Nice.

 

Installed some in-channel window rain guards today. Just need to get rid of the logo on them.



Also installed some kicker tweeters.. The upgrade from stock is night and day difference! I’m extremely happy with them.
