What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Would you girls just stop arguing and kiss and make up already.

 

Bolts into factory holes, hardest part is just holding the thing up while you ratchet it on.

 

I have an air powered lift bag that i think i will try out for the first time.
Now can I purchase the skid plate in Black or do i have to get white and where can i buy them from?

 

Any dealer parts website you want, the FREESHIP code will be helpful right now. It fits any 3rd Gen, And it’s easy to install you replace two factory bolts (and factory “skid” plates) as you install and the rest bolt into existing unused holes. It comes in that whiteish color but a lot of people end up powder coating it black, may check Craigslist for a used one as well. I used the leg method this guy shows and it worked nice and easy. Torque the 4x 17mm bolts to 33 ftlbs and the 2x 12mm bolts to 21 ftlbs

Thanks

 

Two big yacht horns lol.

 

how do you like it?

And what add ons did you go with?

 

Not the OP but this is what I did.
Get front end up high enough to work safely underneath. After removing the tin OEM skid plates clean the bolt holes and then spray with WD-40 or something similar to make it east to put the new bolts in. Use a mechanic's creeper to lay on and then lay the Pro skid plate on your belly. Roll underneath and align the rear bolt holes up and put the rear ones loosely in first. Then the middle bolts and front bolts last. Square up the skid and tighten all the bolts.
Note, these units also fit 2nd Gen Tacos.

Haha I appreciate the gesture.

 

So far we like it a ton. Spent 4 nights in it so far. Only add one are L Track on roof for rack if I ever want to put one on and 2 of the 1/2 slide windows. We will probably make our own insulation panels for the tent. The first 2 nights were in low 20s and I didnt bring the winter bag

 

Electric or air powered?

I've been considering one of those kits that replace the spare tire with asshole-loud horns.

 

Do you have a link to that skid?

 

Yakima cross bars!

 

Go to like Caravana, find a TRD PRO Vin and give them that and you're done. That's what I did and all worked. This was a tip from a great dealer I won't name.

 

There's a good 6 inches of space between the grille and the AC condenser, so I think I'd rather put them there.

 

Thankfully there's plenty of space in the engine bay, but I've been consider slapping an ARB compressor in there if I can find a bracket. Seems most accessible for air access.

 

SCS F5 came in. 16x8 0 offset Matte Gunmetal. Debating whether to use these or hold them and flip once they go out of stock…

 

The fake Claymore mine that I have for a hitch cover is illegal in more than one state. (CO & TX all I can remember just now. Most likely CA!)
I think my MK-2 hand grenade shift knob is too, though I haven't seen that in writing like I have for the Claymore.

 

I mounted my Viair88 between the battery and the headlight. Hose is coiled up between battery and drvr side wheel well.
