What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ah gotcha. That's what I was told by the parts dept guy when I went to see about the newer ones.

 

Installed a ARB recovery point.



Also installed the AC drip relocation mod but didn't snap a picture.

 

Installed the FabFours Trail Doors. Definitely was not as easy as shown in the install video/install instructions LOL!

50/50 on them. it is fun for sure , but it’s also hot as hell here in TX.

 

I got my truck back just over a week ago with a new SSO Slimline Full Plate bumper, OME BP-51 lift with Archive Garage Hammer Hangers, Victory 4x4 sliders and a LRA 33 gallon tank. I’ve been waiting a long time for some of these parts.





Now I need to remove the TRD exhaust and install my R4T high clearance exhaust and get some 33” tires.

 

Would love to hear the high clearance in person if you’re cool with it. Been wanting a high clearance but don’t trust the internet sound clips.

 

Today saw the install of my $350 (Noise maker) that some call an intake.
Except thanks to Independence Day and a few IMs with a retailer, it was had for much less.

Also added a little rattle can for a touch of pop.

Easy install, no CEL and I think it looks good!

 

Looks great. I had a S&B intake on my 2015 Ram diesel and I loved it! It had some noticeable gains on that truck…have you noticed any on the Tacoma?

 

I'm sure it's a placebo effect. Sounds good and might rev a little quicker? I have no source data of a power gain, but like it none the less. Lol

 

Interesting ditch light location. Never seen them mounted that far in toward the center of the hood. Looks like that location will block some of the light and reflect off the hood more than normal.

 

Very true! I think the best dyno is the drivers seat anyway! Nobody knows your truck like you do! Looks good now I want one

 

You would just be drilling the composite bed , not any metal. But I get your meaning. Looks great!

 

Reach out to Extream Terrain and ask for their best price. They sell for better than advertised.

 

Also picked up the MotivX oil change too kit.
This is a solid tool that really does aide in the oil change department. No need to picture this one, lol

 

Flowmaster Outlaw dump exhaust. Is it faster with the CAI? Iono but it’s fun to drive

 

Awesome thanks for the advice. I was actually just on their site looking at exhaust. Maybe a combo deal.

 

Replaced color matched flares with these. OEM unpainted, but I did 2 coats of bed liner and 3 coats of Rustoleum Flat Black. I like them. If you do this - buy more blue and orange clips than you think you need. Don't be me trying to super glue broken clips back together because no one has them in stock on a Saturday within 100 Miles of Mass.

After:

 

Not much point in even installing the drain tubes if they're not going through the bed. As color-me-taco said, the bed is a composite material so you're not making a hole in metal that will rust in the future.

 

Why the bed liner and paint?

 

AC drain mod

 

I changed the oil at 35 thousand and while I was under it I noticed one cat didn’t have the cover over it one did. Has anyone else seen this on their trucks? Sorry for the angle was on the ground.
