What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice battery. Just be careful with the added weight. These trucks are known for the inner fenders to crack. There’s plenty of threads talking about it.

 

fairly straightforward!
the only finicky part was getting the film to adhere around the buttons of the infotainment screen, since it’s such a small surface area
I only got to install the infotainment protector and gear shift indicator one, I’ll be putting on the instrument cluster one later today
And I also purchased the side pillar film as well, and I’ll be putting those on soon

 

Da faq?!

 

Took my plates and all

 

Shackles and bug deflector due in soon. Mebbe get it done Tuesday. Never in a hurry on Monday.

 

Hmm ... looking at the image, there seems to be some passenger side damage on his bumper impact absorber. Someone might have hit it then either the bumper trim (I think that's the part name) fell off after impact or when he drove off. But whatever it is, it still sucks.

 

They took my plates tho

 

Either they stole it or fell off with the bumper trim since the license plate bracket is only screwed in this piece.

Anyway, I lost my front plate years ago and it was a hassle going to DMV to pick up a new set.

 

yup, agree
the material itself is incredibly thick

I thought it would be on the thinner side and more matte finish, definitely has some gloss to it, you don’t notice it once it’s on there though

 

A few things over the past week. New wheels and tires (255 80/17) and hyper dipped the wheels bronze. Added an Rxt pack at stage 1 to go back to original ride height. OriginalNew shoes and rear leafs:
Painted wheels:

 

Yeah... I hear what you’re saying so much!
According to UPS there’s no such thing as an “accident” since everything is preventable. There’s so many acronyms and crap to remember, don’t envy the drivers at all.
One guy who’d been driving for 20 some years, was sideswiped by another driver and that was counted as an incident. Traffic cams, witnesses and citations issued to the other driver didn’t matter.
He was kicked out of the “circle of honor” (15 years incident free) for it. It’s mostly just a pride thing since it doesn’t affect pay rate or anything, but really seemed to hurt his feel goods since he bleeds brown

 

Sounds like our company. You would think they would want to take your side in a accident situation but it seems the opposite which I don't understand.

 

Accidents went up soon as ups sold their freight division. I had enough of their nonsense. Now the new company embraces all their crap as their own. Including wrapping every bag or barrel with caution tape like a thin plastic tape will stop a spill.

 

Installed some rock sliders with kickouts!

 

They look good. But I can honestly say as long as my ass points south I will never get my rockers near any rocks, cliffs or well mebbe a snow drift or two

 

My work takes me through some crazy terrain. I damaged the passenger side predator steps because they hang down too low. They snagged on a few things. Figured I'd get something better. Only cost me $350. They are way heavier and more sturdy than the factory predator steps. These are actually functional.

 

WTF

 

Oh work is work. The guy who signs the paychecks ought to have chipped in. Lol

 

Saving for bigger mods to come, in the meantime I added a copilot:
Hotwheels Tacoma painted black to match mine. Made a tonneau cover out of a plastic bottle cap to mimic my truck.

 

Got my winch today, need to build a frame for it to mount into the bed and then get the synthetic rope to replace the cable on it. Its got a wireless remote, and I am going to put its own battery in the back. I do plan to extend wires from my stock battery to the bed eventually, but for now I will just use my trolling motor battery back there.
This winch will be used pull kayaks or my ice sled up a ramp into the bed of the truck.
