What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

But don’t forget that AC drip mod lol

 

3x to add the sandwich

 

I finally installed the bed stiffeners that have been sitting in my garage for a year at least. I cant recall who made these, cali raised maybe? Anyway, huge improvement. Love em.

 

Link please

 

It measures out at 45 & 1/4” inches. Its the latest design by yakima i think. They made about 4 or 5 different styles.
Im actually going to swap this fairing out with one by these guys soon….

Not to mention that ALL 3rd gen Tacoma's leak condensate into the cab if you run the AC while a window is cracked or the sunroof cracked or open, recirculation is off. Y'all may want to check that passenger-side floorboard for rust.

 

Cali raised wishes their stiffeners were this awesome! They are made by Tttacodan, I have a set as well and love them. Some satin black paint applied with a small brush makes easy work of them shiny bolt heads, cuz cant risk the chance of getting blinded by some random glare from the bed of course

 

oooooh thanks for the bolt tip! I will be doing that asap

 

agreed I don't set stuff on my paint either

 

AC, geez it's barely warm here in the PNW. had mine 2 months and haven't used it. Got out the paste wax and got the front end 2 coats

 

Just installed a DrawTite hitch. Just took me 30 minutes and a knock on my neighbor since I don’t have a 19mm ratchet.

Loaded up 64 bags of 50lb quickrete to start a weekend project. The KDMax tune sure did make a difference pulling almost 4,500 Lbs

 

For next time, 19mm = 3/4".

 

What difference is noticed? I'm wondering if I need these stiffeners. Thx.

 

Got it.

 

What console cover is that… I like it?

Can you share a link for it? Thanks

 

i noticed that i needed these when my bed side bent inwards under load while i was doing alot of oak firewood loading and unloading. After a load my tailgate didnt latch correctly- it was rubbing a bit on the right side. It had bent in a bit. Installing these pretty much eliminates bending in of the bed sides when you use tie downs and really crank em down. It certainly wont do anything but help your bed. But, if you dont use your truck like a truck, and the bed is pristine, you prolly dont need em. I definitely recommend them if you ever haul lumber/heavy loads etc
