What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is only the second time offroad with it since ive owned it for three weeks. Wife gave the go ahead for an upgrade lol.

 

Felt good, better improvement over k&n intake

 

Installed a set of the new PAKRAX Bed Stiffeners. He did a great job making them.

 

Never heard of em where they at

 

suspension is on. looks HIGH for "2inch"...hoping it settles an inch or more lol. went with OME 2887, 5100s, 3leafAAL from headstrong, etc...just dropped it off to where I bought the wheels and tires, should be able to pick it up at lunch. wooo. gonna look awesome later today, then waiting on all pro apex sliders to arrive...skids im not sure what I want yet. but will order soon

 

They’re based out of Phoenix

Never having owned a truck before, do other trucks require these should the bed be used with the tailgate down and pressure is applied to bed sides because of the contents being hauled? A click confused because the devices clearly line up with the metal surround for the wheel wells. Thanks.

 

this truck doesnt require it at all unless you're putting a heavy tonneau cover, bed rack, roof top tent (although not on roof, on the bed rack), etc...otherwise waste of $

 

What ditch light brackets and lights are you running that that makes them hit?

 

Installed a new Snugtop Hi-Liner. Had a Leer before on my 2nd gen. I like the quality of the Snugtop better: sealing, water drainage off of the rear glass, hot wired interior light and USB ports in the bed area.

 

Threw a bed mat in

Had to comment on how clean/shiny your bed is... good form, sir.

 

I thought the same

 

Thank you. It rained last night so I took the opportunity to give it a good wipe down

 

Installed the Diamondback tool bar with Quickfist mounts.

 

@fishhead90 That was a dumb question on my part. Apologies. I saw a YouTube video on the VLEDs: https://www.vleds.com/3g-tacoma-dual-fwk-front.html
And it's pretty cool they do fade with the overhead cabin light. I like it! Neat mod.
Were the puddle lights tough to install?
I was thinking, if I purchased the floor lighting package, and I purchase the puddle pod splitter, but then I ran extended wiring through the firewall, and down to LED assemblies under the frame, couldn't I achieve essentially the same effect but without cutting up the mirror enclosures? In fact, oh, if crazy enough, one could make the whole underside of the vehicle illuminate.

 

Looks about right, I think you need bigger tires to fill it out

 

DSIM makes a harness to do exactly that: https://dsimsolutions.com/products/3rd-gen-tacoma-plug-n-play-rock-light-harness

 

Added the ARE Z series yesterday w/ the OTR coating
