What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have a set and I feel the same way. They are also super easy for someone to steal and you lose your mirror caps at the same time.

 

Great choice. I'm planning on those or Yokohama MT's for my next set.

I dig em, but I prefer gloss carbon fiber on MGM.

The TRD logos ones are custom, so be sure to click the separate link for those.

 

Currently doing the same thing. Got one done today, going to tackle the other one tomorrow. Mine don’t look as bad as yours though!

Waiting for parts I went ahead and did a couple small aesthetic things. So far: Tactillian American Flag Magnets, Tacoma Beast Seqential turn signals, AJT designs chrome delete, Amazon badge blackout, AJT designs key fob with OEM touch up color match. Small but fun after work project and you get to take apart the dash which is fun

 

Oil catch can to fix the smoking / stalling / no restart issue when off-roading on high angle slopes.

 

I'd be interested in the 6000K lights but didn't see a separate listing on the website. I have the kit with red on the way but am still undecided on the color.

 

I bought what RRW called "the long bed version". They had no distinction between DC or AC.
Well, they were made for the DC; so there were two places that I had to cut a slot in, for it to go around the cab mount supports. Most of the bolt holes lined up very well, but I had to locate the slider a bit rearward to get them to line up (you'll see the front is 1" from the wheelwell and the rear is 1" in the well). I also drilled and added two bolts per side, but just for my peace of mind.
The close-up photos are with factory tires. I have since gone to 255/85R16 and they clear the sliders just fine. The sliders cost me $624.00 delivered and took about 14 days to show up, back in 2018.

Old photos I had on-hand. I'm not near the truck this week, so can't get other photos. Next week though if you want any others.
Front



Rear (chop-able, I just need access to a welder to patch it afterwards)





An easy mod to allow it to fit around a cab mount.



Protrudes just enough



Has the bump-out

 

For us, shipping a vehicle would be free but I don't want to drive what I feel is a full size truck around a tiny island. I'd rather have a bike.

 

Hmm, I think it would look better if that wasn't the only part of the truck with that treatment. Maybe wrap the hood and/or roof, or do the whole truck like that?

 

That looks good, and goes with the interior theme of your truck. I have the quilted leather version of it, to match my leather interior.

 

Oahu is not all that tiny… and why not have both. Either way it’s a beautiful place

a bike would help with the traffic though.

 

Only a week in but I love it! I've gotten several compliments. Folks love the wheels especially. First time buying a new car so it feels kinda weird. Anxious to get it dirty.

 

lol, because 3 vehicles on a tiny island (I say tiny because I'm still used to midwest distances) is a waste and parking space is often either at a premium or an extra monthly charge. A hatchback and a bike will be just fine. I can just buy a brand new truck when I get back. Hopefully for less money than the amount I just spent on this two year old truck. Practicality and good finance sense would win in that scenario.

 

Pics, pics, pics???? I want to see too.

 

I have the exact one because my 75lb pitbull loves to climb on the armrest when we are at a stop or even rest his head on it. It's been on mine for about 2-3 years without incident. I thought for sure it would need replacing. Through the drool and his nails, no issues to complain about.

Pics? Never mind, I see @oostroma beat me to it.

 

Looks awesome! Removing the spoiler makes a huge difference, plus it’s dog approved! Congrats! Post more pics when you get it dirty.
