What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hattiesburg area here

 

Not far from here!
I have a couple buddies in the area

 

Love the tear drop! got a picture of inside?

 

Mine has some sort of plastic looking protective decal from the factory. Thought they all came with it.

 

I’ll get a better pic tomorrow, just zoomed in on another pic. This is the rear door handle BTW. You can definitely see the edge of it.

 

Anyone know of any center caps for scs wheels?

 

Upgraded from 1" block to Headstrong 3 leaf AAL in the back. Thought I'd save a couple bucks and reuse the long U bolts from the 1" block kit. Big mistake. Just about snapped the bolts trying to get the nuts past the spot they torqued to with the blocks, if that makes sense. Then I almost couldn't get the nuts back off. I'll never try to reuse U bolts again. Lesson learned.

Luckily I had a friend that was able to come pick me up, drive across town to a place that makes custom length U bolts and take me back.

I have it how I want it now, I like the stance with a little rake. 1.5" lift front and back. Have a 1degree pinion shim installed which eliminated all my braking vibes. I'm really happy with the ride quality with the HS AAL, too.

 

I have the HS AAL and couldn’t agree more about the ride quality. Nice looking rig BTW!

Nice articulation too without the overload leafs!

 

Just added Meso stage 1
Putting a Softopper on this weekend (gets here tomorrow!)
Anyway, figured until third brake install, I think much better visibility over stock tail lights

 

One of my loaner Tacomas had that installed from the factory. When I had the month-long AC drip inside the cab saga.

 

So i have 2 used method wheels off Craigslist and 2 new wheels from Amazon. The fake bead lock bolts are faded on the used wheels...... So im trying a lil Somthing.....

 

Making a plywood tonneau for a road trip in a couple weeks got the frame made up and bolted in after work today.

 

So my brother in law saw this on another Taco and thought I (being a huge Star Wars nerd) needed it on mine.
Just did a debadge last week but this deserves a place on the Taco.

 

Found in the Vintage section on ebay, Stant #10504:



I also ordered a @MESO V2 Gasshole to accommodate the aftermarket design.

 

Thank you! Your truck awesome out there on the trails!

 

Now that I have my sliders I’ll have even better trail pics.

 

How long have you had it? Any engine light issues?

 

So couple mods and upgrades. Had a slight mishap yesterday that justified me buying a new lincoln electric welder. ...and other stuff. As I was on my way to a service call for a dude broke down, I realized I, too, was broke down. Sigh. I walk out my garage and see my taco angled a strange way that only drifters in the JDM world would circle jerk to. The factory weld for the strut tower ON THE FRAME had broke. Hell yeah nothing like a truck with 84k on the clock breaking welds. Damn thing ain't even seen salt. But I digress. Six hours later I must test the new upgrade. And what a better way than traveling very quickly over a set of railroad tracks. To be fair, I didn't go that fast, merely enough speed to remove four tires from pavement for approximately 2 to 3 seconds. And as it so happened, the welds did not in fact break. However the bed mounts did.. but as the decal on the quarter panel so boldy states, it is in fact the one and only "fucker's mint edition".

 

Do it. You'll be happy with the results.
