What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Changed out the driver side hub assembly and installed the TTX Sway Bar Links. Really impressed with the TTX line of chassis from Mevotech. Only thing I can say it buy some 1/4 grease zerks, the ones they came with are junk. I also redid the driver side inner axle seal, it was leaking after I installed the ECGS bushing. Took it for a ride, still have some vibration in the steering wheel, put it back on the lift and shook down the front end again. Looks like Inner tie rod ends are on the menu now. 223’000 miles - I have nothing to complain about.

 

So today I installed the Meso dual color map and dome lights. Thanks @IssaGreenTaco.



Then I spent over an hour pulling up the clear protection film on my hood that the dealer installed. I got tired of looking at the mold and mildew on the edges and under the film. My fingers are more sore from doing that than from putting my clazzio seat covers on. And just when I think things are going better, something caught my eye and I look up and see that my windshield has a crack. I was like, what the hell?

 

What island?

 

Phase 1 of custom bed side cubby done.
Hardware is temporary. It's not perfect but looks like it will work.

Only concern is the strength of the fiberglass be. Time will tell.

Holds:
Two small camping chairs.
Bag full of bungie cords and ratchet straps along with a three ball hitch.

 

That's a good bit of storage. Plans for a door/cover?

 

Oahu, trying out "That Condo Life" for a couple years in Honolulu.

 

Nice looks like the tuffy boxes i bit the bullet and have them on both bed sides great extra storage i have a viair 300P hard mounted in one. Yours looks a little bigger too nice work

 

I might linger a while and collect some ideas for the next build. I did keep all of my mods for the next build and I've still got several ideas for mods that I had to put a halt to when I found out I was moving to HI. Like fixing the stupid radar cruise control.

 

Was there last Thanksgiving. Stayed in Makaha. Beautiful place. Expensive. Real estate is ridiculous. Safe travels.

 

Oh... don't I know. We bought, and holy crap.

 

Best to you and your wife in your transition. Hopefully we’ll see you back on here someday. I for one will miss the insight you’ve shared in your posts. Stay safe.

 

I did the same thing. Stripped it and dremeled a slot to remove it. Well done!

 

If I planned right it should work with the Hooke Rd lockable lid.

Thanks. I was looking at the tuffy boxes just didn't like how the top was angled down or the price.

I did this for right around $180. Still no door but same idea as the tuffy.

 

Battery nearing end of life…..Florida sun.

 

You should have taken your Tacoma there and sold it. Oahu is loaded with modded, 3rd gen Tacos. I honestly believe there are more Tacomas there, per capita, than anywhere else in the world.

 

Tugged too hard on that film.

 

Haha yea that's it
