What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What did he suggest about tightening it?

 

So, along the top of the insert there are 4 bolts to tighten (they come with serrated flange nuts). He said the outer 2 were the ones you wanted snug as they really pull the insert into the surround, the middle two can be finger tight. Now, I have my doubts about those staying on while finger tight, so I'm going to [at least] put a little loctite on them to give them a better chance, but he said he hasn't had any issues with them coming off just finger tight.

 

Can you say how much it was? He quoted me 550 for the grille with the camera and tss

 

I opted for a lit one with the RBGW option (so it's kind of the most expensive way to do it), so that pushed it from the no lights $619 (if you're getting $550, then that's better than is on the site) to nearly $800 (I like my gadgets, so figured if I was in for a ridiculously priced insert, might as well go whole hog). And, I did connect it up to power, it's pretty cool...I didn't play with it much as I've been working through some of the more important fitment issues, but from just constantly rotating through colors, to picking one, to a Night Rider type thing (haven't tried that, but I think it's a thing).

 

I want this exact one. Think it would look sick on mine

 

My spare is in the truck bed. I just tightened the chain up and looped it on itself.

Never rattles and I am offroad twice per week on terrible washboard FSRs, ATV style trails and logging roads with thousands of foot deep potholes.

 

You will.

 

your sensor should already be waterproof unless someone was messing with it or it's defective...

 

Great idea!

 

Bakflip G2 tonneau cover. I likey.

 

Added the Rockslide Engineering rotopax spare tire mount. Super easy. This isnt an "overland to the grocery store" accessory for my truck. This will be used strictly offroad. So whoever says "but you can just cut the strap and steel it!" If sasquatch can sneak up on me out in the woods and steel my gas cans, he is welcome to it.

This is for an upcoming trip, i wanted extra gas for the Backcountry. Awesome idea, 100 bucks. And after seeing it, i could make this myself no problem.

I have a 2 and 3 gallon tank on here.

 

Beautiful scenery and love the pup's

 

It's just an UpTop rack that I customized for my Diamondback.

 

Worked out the kinks, and got it wired up. I'll see about uploading a video that shows some of the animations if anybody is interested (but don't have them anywhere I can currently share on this site). For a little info on the full color option, you can pick any solid color on a color wheel (so not just like 5-6 colors, but this is only for the non-animation mode). For the animations, there are 200 options. BUT to be a bit fair, there are like 6 colors used in the animations, so some animations are repeated 6 times (but some of the multi-color ones don't have this)...so I would guess 35-50 different animations.
A couple pictures with just changing the color from red to blue (it's pretty bright out when I took these, the last one is in a parking garage so it's a bit more representative of the brightness of the lights...which is adjustable as well).

 

Can't remember exactly, but picked up the kit from Amazon,(In search bar "Oil catch can for 201... Tacoma) somewhere at $60 range. Making sure it's including mounting bracket. Hoses and clamps I brought from
local parts store. 1/2 hr of work, and done!

 

That looks good man. I just like the colored solid letters behind personally. Less to worry about lol

Did you grab the resistors as well/ any hyper flashing? I'm thinking this will be my next upgrade along with the led fogs.

 

This has been the best set up for me so far. 3 cams and an integrated rear view mirror. It's perfect for me as my spare blocks the rear window. It is such an improvement over just the mirror. I have my back camera on the roof so no more looking through the cab. It's a game changer. Now it's super odd when I drive other cars.

I couldn't find a luggage rack that also had a hitch hole at the back so I made my own.
