What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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

 

Could only ship one car and one motorcycle for free (Thanks Army), so opted to take my wife's Subie and sell the truck before leaving instead of selling the Subie here, then selling the Taco there, then buying another vehicle there. Time is money, and so is effort/aggravation.

 

Will it still fit in the garage?

A little late, but I've been very happy with Walmart's Everstart 24F AGM ($150, 3 year free replacement warranty) and an off grid engineering strap. No problem running aftermarket lights, amps, ect. Noco Genius 10 float charger is great if you don't want to mess with getting a tune to charge AGM's too.

 

Changed the engine, diff, and transmission fluids with AMSOIL. Filled the tires to 30 PSI and checked the spare. Touchless wash after the maintenance. Nothing special, but this is the stuff that keeps the truck going and makes life easier.

Clazzio's in all black PVC with heated seats coming on Monday--that's this coming weekends project if I can sort out the electrical before hand. Also waiting on a forty2skates keystone mount to relocate the mic connection from the switch panel to the passenger side of the center console in order to make room for the heated seat switches. Goose Gear 60% and 40% also on order. Lead time is 12-14 weeks, so I guess that is my Christmas gift.

 

Pics of Taco?

 

Since I was curious what that was and I figured others might be: https://www.shapeways.com/product/4LN869W6N/keystone-holder?optionId=62757217&li=shops

 

Yup, this is it. It fits a CAT5 or CAT6 RJ-45 keystone that goes into a patch panel and makes for a really clean HAM install. Pic of the switch-mounted keystone mount below.

Pics of HAM install? Bonus pic of Diode Dynamics Fogs to make up for lack of body pics.

 

the battery is leaking acid

 

Installed OEM fogs and light stalk
