What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If I had to guess, at least $50,000 if theyre selling a bone stock TRD sport with 50,000 miles for $43,000

 

I put the steering wheel cover on that’s been sitting in my center console since I bought the truck 18 months ago.

I took the steering wheel off to do it, made it much easier for me. Still, it took me about five hours to do and I’m not thrilled with the results. I will probably restitch part of it. I’ll see how it wears first.

Removing the steering wheel was really easy. I can’t imagine doin go this without removing it.

 

So did you see this before you put it on the ground or did you drive it like that?

 

Actually I ended up with these:

The Ionics shipped with brackets that don't fit a Tacoma.

 

The best form of modding...

Mirror got broken on a camping trip. I decided to try out a set of Spotter mirrors as my replacement.

Haven't ran them in traffic yet, but they do make it easier to park in the garage. So that's a win.

 

Ordered some hella horns today, should come in next week sometime.

 

Finally got my windows tinted after 3 years of talking about it. Probably the cheapest thing I’ve ever done is what makes me laugh.

 

I installed the super tones and had ordered the sharps by accident as well. I saw an old @MESO post and he had both sharp and super wired in. Which got me thinking, one of these days… I’ll get them in.

 

See I ordered the supertones, then canceled and ordered the sharps. I didnt want to mess with a relay and the sharps dont need it. Eventually I might order another set of supers to go quad, but not until spring time.

 

I put the supers in and no relay. Would a relay make them louder?

 

Not really sure. From what I have read our factory system uses a relay, but is fused at 10 amps. The supers draw 12 amps. So could be that your not getting full power due to wire size, but I would think the 10 amp fuse would of popped already.

 

I’ve beeped it more than once. No fuse has blown. I was kinda worried other bad things were gonna happen when I cut the horn wires. I had an ‘86 Audi 4KQ and used the wrong, only one i could find, relay for the fuel pump maybe. Whenever it would hit over 4K rpms the engine would cut. Then I found the right size relay. Lots of u-pick junkyard find in those days

 

Fill your pockets with fuses and relays I still have some from 20+ years ago.

 

Oh yeah. Me too. VW emblems and door handles too.

 

Oh for the love of god

 

That looks familiar.

Friend and I flipped both of 'em. His Dad: "There's your problerm!"

 

Setup a mtb mount on my diamond back. Front fork mount from Amazon and rear wheel tray from Voodoo fabrications. Cost about $100 total for the pieces. Can finally haul my bike around again!

 

Can you still open the front with your bike attached?

 

Got hit head on at very lo speed while parked in a parking lot loading the bed. A older man said he hit the gas instead of the brake and surged over a curb and into my front bumper, grill surround etc, my plate bracket was ripped completely off. I was in shock as the truck jerked back towards me 2x. He had handicap plates so I had to keep my "ALOHA" on and not go off. Filed a police report. Not too bad damage but will definitely being looking for a slimline type front bumper upgrade if possible during the repair. Any suggestions?
