What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's worth the Ghetto Mod of the Year award.

 

So you use the Adams spray on this? It’s a weird material. Why that leather cleaner over this stuff?

 

Sorry it took so long JJ04TACO. Here is a pic of the back of the removable radio face. I have a TACORAIL attached to the trim. It's made to prefit the space there, and my phone is from 67 mounts. The ram mounts are a little to big for the slot, so I used one that I could use a couple of nuts and bolts to attach to the tacorail.

I used a ram mount ball with the square base and 4 holes to attache to the back of the mount by drill 4 small holes and self tapping screws. Then used a short attachment between it and the dash mount.

With this setup, I can lock my glove box and the face is removable like a car stereo. I just slide it off the backing and take with me.

The face is 5.5 inches wide X 2.3 inches deep. The main is 5.5 wide by 7 inches deep because of the rear heat sink on the radio.

Hope this helps.

 

I suggest using Velcro to attach those side compartments. That way if you need to remove the top centre console in order to perhaps upgrade the shift knob that has wires coming out of it you can easily re-attach them.

 

Changed out my start button. I should get about 20hp to the wheels with this mod

 

Purchased a 3D printer to tinker with. So I printed a seatbelt buckle holder for my son's booster seat.

 

Picture doesn’t do it justice!

This “should” be the second to last thing of blacking out the exterior. The “last” thing was ordering sequential turn signals with the black lens from Tacoma Lifestyle.

 

I did the AC Drip Mod this afternoon. Now, bring on the warmer weather.

 

You need to black out those tail lights and get rid of that chrome strip. I replaced my OEM tail lights with the tail lights from the SR5 (I think?). They're all red, no chrome and I installed the Stage 1 tail light kit.

 

I got u on the taillights but what and where is the chrome strip?

 

See the chrome strip? This type of tail light comes standard on the TRD Sport & Off Road models.

 

Oh okay. I read your previous sentence as if you were pointing out TWO separate things. But you were expanding on your chrome taillight comment.

Did you replace them yourself? Was it relatively easy?

 

Completed the rear seat delete and installed the DD SS3 Sport amber fogs.

If anyone's interested, the build thread in my signature has details on removal of the jump seats. Later today I'll add a post to the build thread with all the part numbers and some details of the delete install.

 

They're addicting forsure!

 

Which printer and filament? That has a nice surface finish for extrusion.

 

Finally getting around to removing the useless cali raised fog led pods…I was naive when I first got the truck and thought it was the coolest mod ever lol…thankfully I found this forum and the SAE fog light thread in the lighting forum. Selective yellow SS3 Pro fogs installed:




Save yourself the time and pass on these



Also installed A BAMF Ifs front skid I picked up from a fellow TW member, now he’s also got me tempted to pick up the transfer case and tranny skids for a damn good price!



I love how beefy this thing is. As suspected I feel the front suspension has taken a hit from the added weight of the skid and sliders, maybe it’s just in my head but the ride quality has become harsher and maybe lost a little clearance too. Ordered some 5100s for the front, hopefully the stock coils will still provide the lift I need to bring the front back up. I’d like to maybe knock out a CMC while I’m gonna be in there installing the 5100s to move up to 285/295s once these KO2s wear down.



Also added the Icon 3-leaf AAL in the rear, I didn’t like how the camper shell wore my rake down

When I first got the truck I planned to do the lift once and shell out the $$$ for a full fox or king setup. Having realized how cheap and easy the AAL and 5100s are, I changed my mind and decided to opt for that route, considering I’m not planning any insane wheeling this year. Helps me not get yelled at for making such a large purchase while also house hunting!



Can’t wait to aim the SS3s tonight!

 

I looked this up a while back. I've got the same wheels and I think they are listed as 21lbs though I haven't weighed them myself. Not too bad.

 

Send me the wheels

 

Started swapping my graphics. Did the bed today.

From this.



To This…

 

I like it, looks like a raptor. Where'd you buy them?
