What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Its just about flush with my roof rack, also if you use it like a ladder rack it keeps things off the top of the cab. you you had it flush with the cab and then had ladders on it with the separate movement from the cab and the bed you could have issues where what you were carrying would contact the roof

The old bed is just sitting in storage

 

I hardly ever but I was going to the mall

 

Added some BFG AT's to my TRD OR. Swapping out the grill next.

 

Dual MESO lights


wireless charger....which was a PITA


Bulletpoint mounting solutions thingy


Kicker tweeter upgrade


Rago Fabrication molle plates


and LED license plate lights


There's still so much to do. It feels like I'm screaming at Alexa in my sleep, "Alexa, order more shit for my Tacoma."

 

Did you have any headliner damage? They replace the gasket anyway?
Thanks

 

Installed the Tacoma Lifestyle 3rd brake light. Kind of a pain in the ass because of the headliner. I also lost a 10mm socket in one of the crevices. Guess I'll have to hear that rattle for the rest of the truck's life.

 

A pair of these Light Glare covers deflect some of the light when using reverse camera.

No headliner stains. They just installed a rubber trim.

 

I added them to my jeep and the difference in seat position is noticable. Wasn't sure if the taco needed them. Please update after you made a decision.

 

I had the same problem losing the 10mm socket. Pull the light back off and it will be sitting on a metal "shelf" directly behind the light. Also, I can confirm this light is not waterproof. You'll need silicone at minimum maybe the tsb gasket too.

 

Do we know what type of sealer (silicone or otherwise) is safe for use on automotive paint?

 

No ears on the headache rack? How long is the deck?

 

it is 69.4 inches long

 

Taco looks awesome either way! Trying to do a similar build as my back will allow (many nights sleeping on the couch). Worth it in the long run, she’ll get over it when I’m done and have more vacation dough!

 

Deleted the chrome vent rings and replaced them with Meso Cement gray.

 

What did they charge for that

 

Looks awesome!

 

That's the conundrum.

I know Toyota uses 3M Marine 4000UV adhesive sealant, but others have used regular bathroom silicone (black or clear) found at HD or Lowes. I suppose you could try permatex gasket maker and only put it behind the light opening and bolt holes and then follow up with silicone around the outside edge of the light itself.

I'm not sure which is which, but these are the tsb parts needed
00948-chmsl
00948-chmsl-hw

Funny enough, Fred Haus Toyota was selling them on Walmart this afternoon. Ordered both as no dealer would sell me the parts. I'll hit up Toyota for a refund after it's done and see what they say.

 

I'm pretty certain that the socket fell down the passenger side column. I had to drive to Home Depot to get another 10mm socket, and when I turned I heard it slide to the side. When I got back from HD I tried to fish it out (after I removed the light) and I heard it drop down the passenger side column.

That sucks that it's not waterproof. Thanks for the heads up.
