What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Forgot to post yesterday- finally got some sun over here so I went out and put mud flaps on the truck. Shout out to @Montana_Actual for a deal on some RokBlokz. The regulars are great with my 285/70/17s- hopefully that's still true when I throw some 1.25" spacers on later



Oh and last week amidst all the fog I put my selective yellow SS3 pro fog lights in! Thanks @memario1214 !

The bad thing about Homelink is it's a major royal PITA to get to work. On both my previous vehicles I almost gave up and said fuck it. This is why I have no interest in Homelink and will just use a regular remote. Good luck to those who have to fight this silly unneeded problem.

 

Much appreciated.

 

I enjoy 5 Guys as much as anyone else, but damn they take half my paycheck for my wife and I to have lunch

 

Haha, yeah my girl thinks I'm pretty silly for blacking out my visors as well. whatever, it looks SO much better.

Also....GO DUCKS!

 

The most appropriate response to your girl I can think of in that situation:

 

How did you black them out?

 

I meant while washing the truck. So ya, serious.

 

I just used some matte black vinyl that I had leftover from wrapping/blacking out the giant Yakima logos on my low rise HD bed rack.



Turned out pretty good I think...I mean there's obviously squares of black vinyl but it looks cleaner and they can be easily peeled off for resale or trade in purposes.

 

I ran the cable around he headliner to under the dash and plugged the USB into a multi plug adaptor in the cig lighter. All the wiring is hid up to that. I'm going to hard wire it in a few days so it will stay on when truck is off for those parking lot drivers.

 

Depending on what they do, I would think the 5 guys would be paying yall for the action.

 

Thanks man! I’ll check it out.

 

But it’s so worth it…..right?

They should have a buy 5 get the 6th one on us kind of deal.

 

This was done yesterday, but didn't snag a decent photo until late last night.

Finally, after wheeling/overlanding with guys running big tires and fancy lifts, I have joined the club.

Still more upgrades to go before it's ready.

 

Very nice. Did you join the club or did you buy it?

 

Thank you. Purchased the truck new in March 2021. All work has been done by me (one friend helping occasionally), apart from an alignment, which I can't do effectively, and the sliders, which another friend did for me, as I am not proficient at welding.

 

I have this one after about a 6 month wait...works really well.

 

I think most people, me included, have not idea what they're getting into when they buy a Taco.

 

Agreed. It's untamable. Haha
