What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Pardon my ignorance (you should remember me from the shift knob )

What's the DSIM module?

 

Awesome on the free job being a welder. Truck looks great with the viper cut. I think that’s next in order for me. So true on the prices of everything now of days. Insane

 

I picked up the milwaukee rotary tool for the viper cut. i was always needing a rotary tool and the viper cut was the perfect excuse for a new tool.

I used this and the fader to do my own take on footwell lights and puddle lights.

 

Tank is a discarded DC-9 crew oxygen bottle. Will hold over 3000 psi.
The system usually has 90-100 stored up. I wired in a 120 psi cut-off switch just to be sure I stayed with-in the limits of the bottle.

 

Next you'll ask for 6900 rpm!

 

You'll be happy with your choice of 6MT when you put on the 285s... unless you do the "gear hunting" on your own!

 

got it... thanks.

looks easy, but more $$$ than i need for two rock lights (acting as puddles).

 

Nothing fancy, just some wire cleanup.
Also, anyone have a AVS Smoke Bugflector II on a black tacoma? Need a pic to see if it looks good before I buy.

 

If you are just doing two puddle lights, you are probably okay tapping into the a-pillar and running it off there. I did the same @oostroma did with the oznium dimmer fed from the DSIM to trigger it. Works great and I don’t have to worry about the extra amps. I am not sure if DSIM still makes the a-pillar version though? I think he switched it to the cargo switch. I could be wrong.

 

Sound clip, please

 

Lol. Gotta love colorado.

 

Thank you for all of the responses! They were coated 3 years ago and I'll be reaching out to the vendor to let them know and see what they say. The salt has been brutal for the past few years so I'm not going to hold it against them.

I spent today getting them off. Kind of a pain but thankful they were only bolt-on and that the rust didn't spread to the frame at all. I'm glad that my truck is undercoated but even with it I noticed the exhaust is starting to look a little rough in spots. Truck looks odd to me but I'll be leaving them off for at least a month. In theory I'll have a garage then and the truck wont have to sit outside rusting 24/7

I'm thinking line-x might be the way to go and I'll have them coat my bumper as well. Although I might get tempted to replace them.

 

I'm a bit jealous of that color. Nice trucks!

 

Huge reason why I went with bolt-on armor! Glad to see that it actually has value as a decision.
I spent a lot of extra time prepping the surfaces that were going to be sandwiched against the armor too.

 

After installing my rear bumper, I noticed a big gap in between the tailgate and bumper so I added a rear light bar that acts as a turn signal, reverse light, brake lights and hazard lights, all for $20. Feeling proud of myself.

 

That’sa nice looking bumper! What kind is it? Did you have to dump your BSM?

 

Its body armor 4x4. Mines a 2017 and didnt have BSM.

 

@Nexusix ... This question ^^^^^ and also, did you have to cut the rear fender lower sides?

 

No cutting at all, it was a perfect replacement.
