What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sugar mommas FTW, ya’ll should try it

 

lol, nah, I can't feel comfortable spending somebody else's money, even if she'll be making more money than I do from next year forward.

 

I had scratches on my TRD Off Road before the odometer hit 800 miles lol.

The first few scratches are the hardest, but come on... it's a truck.

 

Aluminum is fairly easy to work with if you ever wanted to try something out. I did this for my UpTop with a router.

Sorry, it’s a crap picture, and upside down. I’ll try to get better pics sometime, but it is 3/16” thick angle aluminum with cut outs for SSC2s and my custom made 3rd brake light (on he 5x6” VLED strips). But if you are half way good with a router, a drill, and a saw, it isn’t that bad.

 

My Softopper arrived two days ago. Today the weather was nice enough to put it on. It’s definitely a nice addition to the truck. I still need to adjust it a little to get the wrinkles out of the sides but I’m already lovin’ how it looks. Only change I might make to it is remove those bright white logos.

Not today, but I also had all the windows tinted with a ceramic film. Summertime sun is going to be so much more bearable this year.

 

I didn't know you could order a "cab and chassis" from the Taco line.

 

Whoa.

Wife and I have one bank account. (a couple of "investments") House is together, mortgage retired We hold no secrets. I never say no to anything of her wants, she never says no to mine.

Married in '83. kids are doing fine... happy couple...

What works...works!

 

Nice!

May I ask where you got that TRD emblem from?

 

Nice choice. Sounds like you have your mounting well planned for it.
Now that I got the Softopper on the truck, I’ll start getting the third brake light wired up and a pic or two of it as well.

 

Getting ready for front suspension upgrade. Taking out rough country 3" lift

 

This good enough for you? Ive had it for 4 months… i washed it after that mud photo around 10 days ago and its super dusty from wind here in socal. It looks cleanish on the photo though.

 

Polish and wax

… those were all clear coat scratches 90% gone a bit in the vinyl door wraps by windows and one across my right side bed panel barely visible anymore after polish and wax tho

 

Lots of different ways to do it that work. It's really up to the individual elements that make up the couple that decide which strategy will work best. Both of us have watched money rip relationships apart though, both in personal and in military (especially military) life. We didn't want that stress. We also discuss things like adults, openly and frequently, about financial planning and how both of us are doing. Neither of us are left in the dark about the other's money. We also bought and paid off a house in MA in 3 years (almost to the day), so obviously it also helps that our ends don't just meet, they've got enough slack to be tied up in a bow. That definitely helps. Best relationship I've ever had. Possibly the best I've ever witnessed.

 

Hello, are those Toyota wheels and if not what brand and style are they?

 

Just love the wheels, can you tell me are these FN wheels or what brand are they and the model name, i need to order a set now... Thanks for the information.

 

The gauge used velcro so i just stuck it to dash right in front of stearing wheel. All the guage does is read the vehicles sensors, so as far as accuracy, that is ultimately up the Toyota sensors. You can change backlight intensity and color. Night driving has not been a problem on the mid brightness setting.

 

Do you have a build thread started? I really want to see pictures of that coming together.

 

I found it from @tacos4cheap. It’s been on there over a year and it’s great! No fading or cracking.

 

Good points. Thanks.

Sun rises on the driver’s mirror. Turned heaters on once underway for the mostly WSW, 20 minute drive to work. Possibly more stuff on passenger side.
Mostly curious what others with feature might have noticed. I didn’t “find” the button until a couple of months ago; was just wiping dew off the mirrors.
