What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added decals to the center caps I painted something like two months ago. The wheels finally go on tomorrow.

Went with an orange vinyl with pink foil overlay. Figured it's gaudy enough to match the rest of my butt ugly truck.

I have leftovers if anybody wants some overlays. 6 blue with light blue foil and 6 magenta.

Also have an SVG file that was made after measuring the original inlays with calipers, so if you have your own vinyl cutter just DM me and I can get you a link to the file.

 

Holy Crap!! $431.00 for rubber mud flaps????

 

No, $330. I wrote a whole thread on the failures of RokBlokz and my prior experience with RekGens. I thought about going "universal" but none of them looked good and required a lot of extra work - like cutting, that I didn't feel confident I'd be able to do properly and maintain uniformity across all 4. Plus, with universals, you still have to buy hardware. You can get the fronts/rears by themselves for $150ish. They are for sure quality flaps. If you consider how much we pay for tires, good rubber aint cheap. I didn't want the redneck looking flat "I bought these at Napa and my other car is a semi" style. So I paid for a good looking set. IMO, worth it. The More expensive ones have either a stainless steel insert or a matte black aluminum insert. I chose to not get that because the whole reason I got these was for their pliability. The quality comparison from these vs. the hard plastic cutout style is night and day.

The alternative and a similar look are the Husky's, but they are also universal style. It's about $140 for them, no hardware. Not even sure if they would work, but they do look similar to my flaps. I don't think they are as wide though. Mine are almost 13" wide. The description says "at least 12" wide. They cover my entire 285's and then some.

 

Any experience with TufSkinz?

 

Mudflaps? No. Aren't they the same hard plastic as RekGens and RokBlokz? I know I ordered a TRD emblem from them and it was supposed to be "matte reflective black" (It's satin, I don't know why they call it matte - matte doesn't reflect) and they sent me a white one. The label even says "matte black reflective". Pretty annoying. I hear good things though, but that's been pretty much my experience with a lot of products lately.

 

Yes, mudflaps. They are a similar hard plastic. I've had good experiences with the company, and their customer service when I ordered the wrong thing. Only 80 bucks for a set, seems to have good ratings. I don't have any experience with them, just been thinking about a set to replace my oem mud catchers. https://www.tufskinz.com/collections/tacoma-2016/products/mud-flaps-toyota-tacoma

 

How’s that nexar? I keep seeing ads for it. Protect yourself in a wreck and show the police footage as it happened lol

 

Ha nice! I just bought covers on Etsy. I tried taking my Silverado ones off and it made a mess. MYbe they are made of different fabric.

 

Oh yea for sure. TBH, if I had a white taco, I would have gone with those 4WD ones and kept stock flares too. The OEM ones fit well, but why the hell would they leave that indent like that? I drove a 180 mile trip in a snow storm and took them off as soon as I got the flares on. They were awful. What color taco do you have?

 

Saw toyota was having a sale and ordered a bed mat. $102 with tax and shipping. It was delivered to my driveway in 28 hours.

 

And diesel 911. Keeps us from gelling up dontchaknow

 

Falcon wheels was having a sale, buy 3 get one free. The GX got some new wheels on the way.

 

I was just looking at falcons last night. Thought about selling my black rhinos just for the weight factor

 

I’ve liked it so far. It was super easy to install and got rated slightly better than the Garmin. It seemed like a cheap insurance policy. They also sell adapters so that you can tap directly into the power from your mirror, which makes for a pretty clean install.

 

Finally got my wheels installed. Motegi MR149 17x8.5 ET 0, Falken Wildpeak 265/70/17. Hopefully I can get some snow pics today!

 

Did you have a front locker put in while they had it opened? Even if not that’s a really good deal. It’s about $2500 in my area. Are they Yukon gears? TIA

 

got black oxide screws at my local hardware store

 

Sparks Toyoyta? Your local dealer?

 

Are you getting a set? I saw that you got your rims powder coated not to long ago.

 

Am checking this out now, I dont see the buy 3 one free deal. Or am I missing something?
