What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No dis on your post but “patent pending”. Good luck with that Trailgate lol

 

I tried applying touch up paint to the rig this morning for some rock chips on the hood and bumper. It didn’t go so well. I just don’t have the finesse required. Oh well at least it won’t rust….

 

Detailers use a syringe

 

I called to have 'Connected Services' disabled on my taco.

Super exciting shit.

 

i bought oem Dupli-color touch up paint for some spots on my roof. 3 in 1, prep, paint, seal. ill see how it works

 

Finally got the courage to tackle Clazzio all black leather seat cover install. Took everyone's advice: leave covers in the sun and unbolt front seats and they went on in 2.5 hrs in Texas heat..well in the garage which made it 99 instead of 110 degrees.hardest part was getting the velcro to attach on front seat back portion.no cut hands and no rips in material.really didn't hurt my hands ( been doing manual labor most of my life) huge difference in look of interior. Now have gently used all black rough country front and rear seat covers kicking around if anyone wants to make an offer. Very clean and garage kept truck.

 

Everywhere!

 

Great job. looks like the truck came with them stock!! I'm going to wear out my current covers, but these are definitely in my future. nice!!!

 

Nice job!

I left my seats bolted in, I felt it was easier for me

 

Installed TAC side steps. Went on easy and seeem very sturdy. Been going back and forth between nerf bars and these. Went with these to hide that area right under the cab and for wife to get in easier.

 

yes!!! Thank you everyone!

 

What was the fix?

 

Added the 2nd fuse to the kit.

 

Used the stock mount zipped item to the hitch. Should be fine for now, hope to add a compressor at some point.

 

I did a couple more things after I got my raptor lights working. Thanks @tacos4cheap !

Added TRD trailer hitch cover:


Added glove box letter inserts:


Added TRD grille badge:

 

You've got plenty of time for mods. My last truck (1st gen SR5 MT) lasted 21 years (325k miles). The truck before that had the 22R engine which made it to about 225k. I'm not sure my '16 will make it to '41 (bought it in '20, and I've only 75k on it), but we'll see what the 4th gen brings.

 

Well I put a deposit on a 22 SR5 DCSB , 4x4, 6-cyl, auto! It should be here 1st week of Sept

At 75yo, it’ll be my 4th in my lifetime

 

Is that tan above your glovebox?
