What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New fogs when I get home from work

 

Which ones did you go with? I've been wanting a set of the amber fog max's.

 

Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro. Bought them from a member here

 

Us Giant fans don't have tail light issues.....

 

I paid 95 dollars for half a tank here in Canada. Lol.

 

But you guys are used to it (unfortunately). We’re not too far behind in Cali.

 

I stalled my overhead net from@flatironsoverland today. Beats my prev system. I'm sure my kids will appreciate blueprints no longer hitting them in the head.

 

Finally got around to installing the Diode Dynamics stealth bar now that it's warmed up a little. Also added the Kicker bass control in one of slots. Lastly, switched out the color-matched bumper valance with a black one. I broke the clips on the original one after bumping into a wall like an idiot.

 

Genuine Question:
Are there any aftermarket parts you wish existed for Tacoma that aren’t readily available?
Canvassing for production ideas. We specialize in bed mounts and organization.

 

I know it's not your area, but Keyless Ignition for the manual gearbox trucks. Not to be confused with remote start because the two are not the same thing.

 

That’s a great suggestion. I’m surprised no one has thought of that. We venture into a small electronics - we make antennas for Ford.

 

Also, I've thought about building a module that flips the left hand d-pad on the steering wheel so that the volume is up/down and the next/previous is left/right. Also, would like to have a module that automatically enables cruise control classic when I start the truck by connecting the 12v+ and 12v- lines running into the cruise control stalk for 3 seconds a few seconds after starting the truck. Would also be nice to be able to permanently disable AEB without needing Intune.

 

Bottle opener on the one by the tailgate

 

I've had a heck of a time trying to find parts to cobble together a bracket to attach Yakima round bars to my rack's extrusion load bars without spending $300+ on discontinued Yakima Control Towers through eBay. I realize that is a rather niche/specific application, but the ability to attach cargo boxes to the roof racks/bed racks that use the aluminum extrusion load bars without paying $3-500 of dollars on brand-specific towers would be a nice aftermarket item.

BTW if anyone is interested, these are the brackets I'm going to try for my application:

SmittyBilt BRACKET KIT SB ROOF - SBDRS-6

Front hidden recovery hitch like Mobtown made before closing up shop.

 

Could add-on power seats be a thing?

 

Mine has to be an under/behind seat storage upgrade for the double cabs. It seems like theres a lot of dead space that could be converted to more interior storage area.

 

Had this KRC ps cap laying around in the garage. Cut the underside out and used some 3m tape to cap the stock cap. Just toying with this idea but it looks good. Was thinking I could get a Toyota or Trd wheel center cap sticker for it. I’ve seen krc parts on Toyota race cars before.

 

Added the Desert Does it seat jackers and MMP with a couple of their rectangular magnets and L-mount. Then I modified one of my Kydex style holsters and mounted a bit of protection within arm's reach. I'm a righty, but if I did this over again I'd order a LH holster for obvious mounting reasons, but I don't mind the angle or placement and it allows my wife to quickly and naturally reach over with her right hand... just in case.
