What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Our attic kits fit both access and double cab models check them out in our shop link in the signature below

 

Made an adapter for the wireless charging phone mount using my Ender 3 v2 3D printer. This allows me to mount it on top of the dash trim without having to keep replacing the 2 sided tape everytime it would lose adhesion with my previous setup. Lets see if it holds up.

Another puddle pods post for this forum. Easy but kinda tedious install. The door boots arent as bad as I was expecting. Now to wait for the sun to go down so I can really see what they are like.

 

Did you drop the headliner to take out the light or drill it out?

 

That one pic as I was scrolling sure looked like you put Duals on your Tacoma lol Stopped and scrolled back up….oh ok. They look nice!

 

You must have a lot of weight in the backend. I can’t imagine the tongue weight of that boat is anywhere near as much as that squat looks lol

 

Edit: Use a dab of grease to hold the nut in the socket until you get it threaded.

Don't pull the headliner or drill anything. Just follow their YouTube video. Basically pull the 2 clips on the back of the headliner, open the rear window and shove an extension and socket up through the opening and onto the nut. Then attach your small ratchet and unbolt. Follow up with a bead of black silicone. Sounds simple, but I guarantee you'll spend 1-3 hours on this.

It's cheaper if you buy from Amazon.

Still have to install my MESO KC5 was just wondering on the install method others were doing thanks for the links!

 

Gave it a Tramp Stamp, new TACOMA letters and mountain decal

 

I see, I'll probably play it safe and replace it. But, those things are like no other gasket I've seen, they have built in metal spacers for the nuts that hold it on--just got me thinking.

I saw a video of a guy replacing his transmission fluid, and after he drained, he pulled the pan there was a ton of fluid in there a cup or more maybe?. Then, he pulled the filter and maybe a cup or more came out. I thought it was significant to remove that little bit of fluid. Granted, as the video mentioned, there is still fluid in the torque converter, so, I'll give it some thought whether I change the fluid twice the same weekend to get a better 'cleanse' with the upcoming fluid change.

 

Did you use the marine sealant or any silicone? Oops I just saw that you did.

 

Did the pinch weld "mod" today. AKA hit it with a hammer until it's flat.

Than i installed the RokBlok mudflaps. Some people don't like the look of mudflaps. But I see them as protective gear for my trucks paint and the people behind me when I drive over gravel.

 

Busy day, finally got around to adding a third brake light. Shaped a piece of aluminum flat stock, rattle can black and bolted it to the rack. Wired it using a @Puppypunter harness. Then bolted up the TRD skid plate and Talons Garage Cat protector plate.

 

^^That TRD Skid & Talon CAT plate look great!!!

So do the rest of your mods.

 

If the threads aren't hosed up, put some Marvel Mystery oil or ATF on the bolt and threads a couple of times a day for a two days. Warm it up with a MAP gas torch and give it a try with a big ass wrench. If that doesn't do it, it ain't coming off.

 

My man, what bed rack is that you have over your Softtopper?

 

It's an Xtrusion Overland. It's pretty cool. Very modular. I added two crossbars to the top to attach a Thule cargo box and kayak rack.

 

Nope I just took both hooks off and folded the back of the headliner just enough room to get in there. I also used tape to hold the washers when installing so they wouldn't fall and get lost.

 

All dirty

 

It is 100 % the boat.. Truck does not squat without it. I noticed it too.. Might be from the hitch I have and it's angle to make it lower. Also the hill maybe.. Dunno but do not like it
