What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Met with @cheddars and swapped our bumpers! Was awesome meeting a cool fellow Tacoma lover!

He is going to put that steel bumper to good use, and I’m glad to be stock Replacement fenders ordered already. For now.. I’ll be rocking the “high-water” equivalent.

We setup a mini shop in the Lowes parking lot, that was also cool. Lmao

 

Oh man. I admire the spreadsheet, but Jesus I don’t want to know how much I’ve spent but the rough ballpark is scary. I think the random bits (bulbs, screws, L tracks, tools etc) is brutal enough. But there has been a lot of big purchases. After a certain point everything just cost 1k or more and I just went with it. I’m not rich, just irresponsible.

 

Yeah it was a rabbit hole that I did not want the answer to. I started thinking the other day, if I had to uninstall all of my shit, could I? So today I started generating a list. And because it's excel, might as well supplement the list with numbers.

The answer is no. I threw a lot of that money away.

I hope I get my entertainments worth out if it at least.

 

1st Wash

 

There are some things I could uninstall and some things I couldn’t. And most everything I wouldn’t, as in I don’t want to. However the camper shell/cap is currently sitting on some blocks off to the side. That thing I have a love and hate relationship with.

 

And last thing I’ll say if you look at the video looks like he’s got his phone up to his mouth holding it in one hand and then transfers it to his other hand after impact. Compressed on YouTube but I see it in my photos pretty distinctively. He wasn’t mad or anything it’s almost as if he knew it was his bad. Just reflecting on everything. It is what it is though

visor screws?

 

cant take it with you
thx for helping out the economy

 

he could have missed you, lots of room, he never hit his brakes, he was moving too fast, scary if someone would have been walking to their car

 

Hoping things will be able to be fixed. Definitely super bummed. I like you and many others here love my truck. Just hoping I still do after repairs etc. probably will take a long time to even Get parts. Need a new bumper. Tailgate. Rear passenger body panel. New tail light and probably a new bed since part of the composite cracked. Don’t think there’s any damage to the frame thankfully but will keep you posted when I get everything assessed

 

I think I'm about $6k in mods at the moment. Last night I priced out some Fox Elite 2.5's with Deaver N98's and UCA's on Accutune's website. With 5 wheels and tires it was about $10k. Then I started looking at bumpers and brake upgrades. It definitely adds up quick.

 

Added a little bit of accent

 

Yes I did that as well. Had to put a spacer on the back one and cut the threads down a lot. Two different lengths.

 

Nice. You may have seen this, but my Group 31 battery tray install can be found over here.

 

Thanks for the photo and feedback! It looks awesome! Can't wait to get mine installed. It looks like it settled nicely.

 

Excellent - how do they compare to try FOX shocks put stock on the PRO?

 

Got the TRD intake and made a quick install video!

 

Seems the only feathers ruffled here are yours.

 

Installed a dashcam with the Dongar Tech power adaptor.
