What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It still smells like chemicals to the point I took it off my truck and stuck it in the corner of the garage. I’ll probably give it away at some point and buy a reputable one. Bummer, but lesson learned.

 

Still waiting Soft Topper would not even answer my emails I just gave up after the 5th one I sent! Been about 30 plus days now with FED-X only 1290 miles away to start probley get it in 2-3 more days going 120 miles? I did wash the Ice out of my bed after shoveling out all the snow. Then parked it in my building I use for my tractor so it is ready to have the top put on if it gets here this coming week? Sad there Ad is so misleading is 2-3 weeks lead time for back orders. Ordered it in October so a little longer then that of a wait? Never had a company do this to me before!!! I ordered a $2300.00 Snow Pusher blade off EBay from back East a couple days ago. It weighs 690 lbs coming by Freight Truck from Indiana. Day after I bought it they sent me a Tracking number and it is haft way here might even beat my $900.00 35 lb top I ordered? No reason for this at all in my mind. I am being nice in how I say this here not how I really feel#@% If asked I will be sure to let anyone know how I was treated and shipping time it took to get here! Got a break in our snow cleaned up the place too!

The "douche" is incredibly strong with this one, isn't it?

 

Are you in favour of street racing?

 

I have a little fun in my Challenger GT! I worry more about crazy drivers who don't even know how to drive and they don't race! On Road and Off Road!!

 

So question for all you soothsayers:

Before I make a HUGE purchase on a TRD skid plate, those of yall who have purchased it, can you confirm you searched and bought part #

$459 PTR6035190 PTR60-35190

PTR6035190?

Found one online at Toyota of Greenville (South Carolina) for $325.01 plus their free ground shipping coupon.

I put my VIN in their and said it was wouldn't fit. Google quick search said that previously mentioned part number was it. And even BAM Wholesale indicates this is the proper part.

Have a TRD Sport so I know it should at least fit.

 

Hit up a local trail in Big Bear, CA area and smashed through some frozen mud pits with friends yesterday. Then, I had to scoop out some chunks of ice trapped on the front skid plate with the hockey stick. (Edit: Anyone else ever use an odd ball piece of equipment, such as a hockey stick, as part of their recovery or overlanding/off-roading gear? Lol) I think some of the ice may have been cutting up the serpentine belt; heard some whining noise from there after a few dips in the mud pits. Maybe, it was debris and water on the belt causing the noise. Hopefully, no pulleys got messed up.

 

Under armrest molle panel by victory 4x4. Requires 4 small pilot holes for self tapping screws with spacers. Handy for clip on things.

 

Started at $1,500, but I had a coupon and they gave me a military discount. It was about $1k out the door. Like I mentioned, 5 year guarantee. If it loses any effectiveness, they'll recoat it. Also have 5 years of free detailing. They did an amazing job. Totally worth it. I'll do it again when the five years is up.

 

If it's for a third gen, it'll fit. Even a second gen will fit.

 

Same one that I installed on my 2018 TRD Sport:

$459 PTR6035190 PTR60-35190

PTR6035190. Good price. I paid $375 with free shipping in Sep ‘20.

 

I have the same one. Was the first mod I did. It’s been on for about 4 months now, no issues. Still looks like new. Keeps the bed pretty dry and secure. Sturdy enough to stand on no problem.
If you need to frequently open the cover for access, maybe consider another brand like Bakflip (had this one on my last Tacoma.)
No off gassing for me, I also am not garage parked most of the time. Actually my bed mat was the most noticeable for off gassing.

 

Post up your results!! I was thinking the same about cutting but then figured WTH, I can buy the bumper caps all day long for just a bit over $100 bucks so if you screw up, it's a pretty easy and cheap fix! I was planning on covering the panels with painter's tape and layout the template and go to town! Dremel, Baby!!

 

Gracias! I figured it was but website say one things. Actuality is another.

And on that note, I bought the TRD Skid plate for a great price of $344 (including tax and free shipping). Not a great price, but not bad either considering it list for $360-400 on a few other dealer websites.

Win-win in my book.

 

No. It's douchy! BIG TIME! I was referring to the racing post and YouTube video. I guess maybe I wasn't terribly clear on that.

 

Totally. Only had mine for a little over a month and already got an appointment to fix my front windows as well.

Had the DRT cab mount relocate installed by AdventureFab about a week ago.

Looks great. Now if BFG would stock some 285/75r17...
