What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Despite what you read on the interwebs, even a TRD Pro grill can’t provide 360 protection against the stupids of the world

 

I haven’t compared bumpers in depth but this looks to be the cleanest I’ve seen

 

Hey the accident got my truck some upgrades and my garage. The fab fours saved the truck from serious damage…everything damaged was cosmetic and my block garage got the whole front face redone which it made the openings a foot wider, new doors and the whole building got painted (got $20k to fix the garage from homeowners and auto insurance paid out $6k in damages)

 

Awesome!

 

Decided to de-chrome and edit the badge.

 

That "Taco" edit is pretty cool. How did you go about doing that? Any pointers?

 

Removed it and cut it off the rest with a dremel and carefully sanded the edge.
Just put a primer and then black spray paint and a couple layers of a clear coat.
Then reapplied it with 3m tape.

 

Took the air dam off

 

Did this yesterday but forgot to post…Diode Dynamics interior map and dome lights.

 

New wheels!!

 

Not on my third gen but on my dad’s ninth gen Corolla……

Noticed a few weeks ago it was approaching the milestone when I took it to fill it up for him. No lag when you hit the gas like our electronic accelerator crap, this thing gets it! Think it would take the Tacoma off the line.

 

Got loaded up for Sedona MTB Festival next week! Also installed a rear camera on the camper.

 

Is the hitch extension for a hitch mounted bike rack?

I’d love to see interior pics of that setup. Looks very nice!

 

Pricey

 

15k mile service today. Asked the guy about the whole battery disconnect to reset your miles to empty and it said that’s not a thing. You can’t reset that by disconnecting the battery, it’s your trip miles

 

Got ceramic tint today. Not a great pic.

 

I drove my 3rd gen today. Also put gas in her. That's all. No cutting, gouging, sanding, welding, painting, installation of assorted aftermarket items, etc. Just turned the key, hit the clutch and grabbed gears. I think she feels left out since I've been working on my other project... not a 3rd gen, but I do have toyota parts installed to keep it going. One is a piece of my quarter panel I had after my rear bumper went on that I'm using as a dust cover on the bell housing and the other is the voltage regulator from my 84 hilux that converted my externally regulated alternator to a one wire internally regulated alternator. So, there. I can still make a badass cummins a toyota post. Top that!

 

Lmao, you're a legend

 

Many thanks, good man. I give the term part swap a whole new meaning.
