What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Debating doing this since I run an RTT that's flush with the cab and blocks my 3rd brake light. Haven't seen anyone else run one of these yet so I appreciate the pic!

 

New Cooper AT3's installed today.

 

Removed the OEM tonneau cover for good. Still have the brackets left but no hurry on those. Taking the tri fold off, then putting it back was a unnecessary chore whenever I have big, tall and heavy cargo back there every once in a blue moon. I don't carry valuable tools back there so meh leave it open...

 

Same. Was thinking of a brake light mounted to the bed rack but might go this route myself.

 

New Leer 122 cap.

 

TRD Pro grill and new plates.

just having a ton of fun adjusting the camera now :/

 

Looks great! Is it after market or factory?

 

Havent been doing much to it, snorkle, put on some lights, cleaned it got it dirty again, been using the hell out of it though so thats nice

 

Aftermarket! Thanks!

I was having too much trouble trying to piece together the OEM pro grill with the sensor garnish and camera space/bracket so I found an aftermarket vendor who sold them all in one.

 

I just got my new pro grille put in today as well the previous owner hit a phesant

I just got mine in today as well I just bought the truck a few weeks ago and the previous owner hit a bird and put an ugly looking grille in. Toyota wanted 1100 for the grille and garnish Amazon 229 shipped to my door

 

Do you recommend it? I am kicking around the idea of a grill. There are so many aftermarket, don't have a clue where to start.

 

This is the one I got back in June. So far no TSS issues and looks great! I also got the raptor lights but haven't gotten around to installing them.

how do you like the front cam?

 

I love it, it’s the OEM one. The only thing is, the new grill messes with the birds eye view function which was honestly really useful.

Probably due to the camera being mounted higher than it was with the stock OR grill

 

I picked the light bar because they are a real company with a website, not just some chinese rebrand sold directly from Amazon. And that is a rigid light bar with an aluminum backing, not just a flexible light like most others sell.

I used this velcro since I already had it on hand, it's a bit wider than the light bar so I split it in half with some scissors.

I believe to make it a legal 3rd brake light it just has to be higher than you tail lights.
So you could mount it to your bars that hold the tent and use a 4 pin trailer extension wire to run the wire through the bed down the the trailer plugs.

 

Yessir! The UCAs are awesome. There's also stamping in the side of the bed, "TRD PRO". It's a really nice ride, I'm lucky.

 

Or make ‘em all sit in the bed…

 

Then send it

 

For over a year I’ve been on the hunt for Tacoma TRD Offroad in Cement. However about a month ago I came across this Pro and decided it was time to be a owner. This is the first Tacoma I’ve ever owned and I have a list of all the things I want to do like probably many of you do. These are a few things I’ve done so far.

Tint, Bigger Tires 265/75R17 (Toyo Open Country A/TII, Tacoma Tailgate Letters (Red),
Me-So Custom Climate Control - Chrome Delete (Red). I’m not a 100% sold on doing red ascents so might change.
