What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Decided to do something a little different for some sliders I refinished for the Army Green Tacoma. Pretty happy with how they turned out but still waiting on new hardware to attach the step plates. Caliraised 0 degree sliders for a DCLB.

 

Got my suspension back from ADS with the new ultra-soft-sissy-lala revalve tune and I am stokeeeeedddd! It rides sooooooo much better. Top notch service from the guys over @ ADS!

Still all the feedback you could want from the suspension but in a non-teeth-shattering way. Similar to the stock O/R feel but upgraded in every way. Super pleased with the service I received from ADS. This was now worth the 4 month wait for these.

 

It has a lot more usable space than the one from Blue Ridge. I ordered it for the trip west, but it didn't arrive in time. It does add a lot of space for storage. We could easily get our jackets and a little more up there had I had it in time for the trip. May have eliminated a suitcase on a two week journey.

 

Done a few days ago, but added a Body Armor hiline bumper, smittybilt x20 10k winch and a Rough Country Black Series led bar with amber DRLs.

 

I purchased the same, just haven't had a chance to install. Any advice when putting it on?

 

kreg jigs make it a breeze to build. Enjoy the project.

 

Thats awesome! Did you have the bodies coated black too?

 

Kinda like xs t shirts cost the same as much as xl?! What I’m saying is it the process not so much the material. But that material is nice as well though.

 

Yes, had them Cerakoted black when I ordered them. They got sent back with only about 150 miles on the setup though, were way too stiff for me. Custom valve is my jam.

Debated powdering the springs too, but thought it might be too much.

 

I love my bumper. Only thing is the license plate area is way down there.

 

That doesn’t look too difficult at all. You disconnect the battery?

 

Could mount it off-center up next to the fairlead.

 

Update, the roam case atop the Prinsu is currently so convenient and easy to throw my Iceco chairs into that I may not care what anyone thinks of it.
MPG is to be determined but I'll probably buy a second vehicle like a prius or something for commuting.

 

Yeah I don’t have anyone in the backseat lol what tools do you have in your back seat?

 

What else?
I plan to get the DD stealth light bar, their ditch lights and fogs over baja. Didn’t know the reverse lights made a difference with the camera. They do have license plate lights but might be too bright. Did you get the 200 lumen ones or the 720?

 

Installed a blue ridge overland attic in my AC and added a rear usb with a little night light led for when the dog is in the back at night. Plus a picture with the competition my dads colorado

 

Just because it's a basic commuter car doesn't mean it has to suck. You can have a fun car that is still decent on gas. The answer is always "Miata", but a Mazda3 is fantastic as well.

 

If you're going to get brighter license lights, make sure you get the covers to keep them from blinding the backup camera.

 

Kinda ironic innit? Getting brighter lights and then getting something to block out the brightness

 

I got the 720 ones It’s less about the camera as looking in my side mirrors looking for branches and what not. The cameras OK normal but those bulbs definitely help as well.
