What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thought this looked cooler than the stock piece of rubber. Also have a black one but this one is classier.

 

It's an RCI skid I bought new off another TW member

 

Having trouble seeing the forward mounting location of the stock bars with the plates installed, is it the bolt holes or does the plate simply get in the way?

 

Looks great!

 

One way to level the truck

 

My dad had an 89 Toyota pickup regular cab, he got 13 years and 89,000 miles out of it, in a mild climate - never got too cold. Not sure if they are making batteries like that anymore.

 

Replaced my shift knob

 

Not very exciting, new battery...Tough start this morning, never actually looked at the battery when I bought it used. Dated 12/19/16. Load test told the story. All in and replaced now, maybe this one will do 5 years too!

 

Ram mounts Held up my command central during DV trip. Especially going through those sand dunes and washboard trails..

 

It’s funny my wife’s 2017 Corolla steering wheel switch is the correct way volume up down. my 2017 Tacoma as we all know is not.

 

sweet set up? where are you camping?

 

Or use your used up recovery tracks.. It was getting late and this was the only spot I could find and just had to level the RTT and set up for the night..

 

New wheels continued.




Stock nuts vs short black nuts: they kind of disappear and Im a fan.





And since it's a nice day out I finished the clazzio install:





And finally, another dumb lesson learned. One inch offset might not seem much, but it's been enough that I've bumped my trailer dolly twice when backing into the garage. Every time I bump it, it pushes the rear corner of the trailer into my workbench and cracks a running light. I keep a pile of $5 trailer lights for that reason. And now I'm running low again after this weekend.

 

Picked up a used Decked system from another TW member this past week and got it installed with the help of my son (bonus: the bottle opener still works ). Previously the driver's side ammo can had a Blue Sea 12V system installed, and that's on my list of things to do so I'm keeping that can with the nice rectangular cut out, but the original owner (I think I'm #3) hacked away at the passenger side can to access the plug. That DIY job was patched, but since I need the full storage that can provides I ordered a replacement from Decked last week. So far it's been great running errands all day without having to tie anything down or store it in the cab.

 

JBA UCAs and Fox 2.5 coilovers, sway bar delete and a nasty chop job at the inner fender on the drivers side

 

I like this a lot although I'm bummed that when the phone is in portrait mode it sits in front of some of the head unit buttons. My current holder is similar but is a little bit farther to the left. How did you end up wiring the unit?

 

Did the front vinyl a week or so ago, messed up enough that I didn't have enough left for the tailgate.
Oh well, I ordered more and got that done today.

 

I wonder if the module in the Corolla would work in the Taco?

 

Added the last touch to my new snow tire setup. Gray overlays from TVD vinyl.
Also added just a bit of retro color.
