What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

More wax. I happen to love the candy red taillights.

 

I've always liked those lights and wish I had a neighbor like you do, but how do you access the spare tire through the cutout?

Just installed my teton workshop shift knob.

So far so good. I like that it has some nice heft to it. A weighted shift knob is always nice in my opinion. I was gonna go with a trd pro shift knob until i heard about this company. Price may be on the higher side for shift knobs, but a well made USA product is worth it. And it wasn't to far off from everything else. The black piece below it is from the meso chrome delete kit. I think it took about a week from order to getting it in hand. Which is really good being during the holidays.

 

Lol, no. But after my research into plug kits this was the most solid built and I believe geared towards a shop/professional kit vs consumer grade.

 

I've been considering that same tonneau. How's the driving visibility with the Bakflip folded all the way up against the back window? Can you still make okay lane changes with just the side mirrors? I'd imagine it would only be folded up completely on a few occasions.

 

It's a Tacoma "tax." Years ago a family member had a c5 corvette that shared a few parts with my 4th gen Camaro. We'd joke, because the same parts for the corvette were always more expensive. Hence the corvette tax.

 

My latest are low key, mostly appearance related items that were Xmas gifts: tufskinz rear mud flaps, tufskinz vent rings, and a license plate frame.

The front mud flaps were (unfortunately) not understood as a logical gift pairing with the rear ones, so those a requiring a 'go back' order. The tufskinz flaps are rigid as others have noted on TW, but should do the job of keeping debris from being launched from the tires, both at self and others. Plus they aren't too expensive should they snap on a trail, and will be easy to remove if I want to reduce damage risk to 0.

I'm kinda impressed with the vent rings in that they behave like the exterior paint. In poor light they look like a dull grey (i.e. cement), but match the full depth of Lunar Rock (i.e. "cemint") in sunlight.

 

wow, am I going to have to pull the entire front end of my sport to change headlights?

 

Nope.

 

I have weathertechs on my Camry and Sienna and I will eventually need to replace my factory rubber mats simply because they are a little hard to clean. The ridges on the mats are to tall just to do a simple wipe to say the least. I ‘lol give it a few more months until I can’t stand it anymore.

Thanks for sharing your pic. Now I know how it would like in the front. WeatherTechs are truly well made products.

 

I had a local dealer install a Extang Trifecta E-Series Tonneau Cover on mine today.

 

For the most part, yes. I think he probably completely removed the bumper to help not scratch things up. But the bumper doesn't necessarily have to be completely removed. Otherwise the rest does need to come off.

 

How did you get the tip off the inner piece? I can't get mine off

 

Did the kicker speaker swap and wired up the key 200 amp with extended remote wire and RCS jacks for the powered sub coming in tomorrow.

All plug and play thanks to the people in this forum that do the work and tell us how, lol.

 

cool - thx

 

Pretty much... Could be wrong but I "don't think" you need to completely remove the bumper. You might be able to get by with removing just the two outside bolts under the wheel liners and muscling it to gain access to the 3rd headlight bolt under there.

It totally blocks the back window. I had no problem driving home with it like that. However, it was kinda weird because I am used to looking out the back window to see whats behind me. My side mirrors totally were adequate and did the job. I would rarely have it in that position but wouldn't hesitate to do it again as the tonneau is def worth it
