What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No, I think we got it mixed up. In that message I was referring to it having that little storage compartment in the inner side of the bed

 

I think in 2019 Toyota cheaped out and took out driver side storage. Annoying.

is there anything behind there? I don’t think so as some people have cut one in to put a storage container into the side of the bed. Obviously check your own vehicle before attempting

 

That sucks. I guess for once we can't blame it on the corona, I thought it was because they put something behind it or it wasn't on the base model

 

Haven’t looked yet but I’m not holding my breath. I’m still waiting for the weather to dry out so I can finish the interior red led set up. ( just need some zip ties)

 

They definitely cheaped out. No cargo lamp. For starters

 

Threw an exhaust on

 

The wiring for the bed lights is behind the tail lights; you have to remove them to find the plug (and it is capped). Although if you don't have the pop-off panels it would make the job harder (took me 30 minutes).

 

I don't have that driver's side storage on my '22, but just a tiny one on the passenger side. Haven't figured out what to use it for yet as there are some holes out the bottom where the hinges are. Maybe something small that can get wet/dirty...rocks?

 

I can see a good case for a 2WD Sport, but can't quite wrap my head around a 2WD Off-road.

 

That little cubby is perfect for my ratcheting tie-down straps, and perfect location too because it's right in the bed where you'd need them.

 

I put straps and bungies in a bag in there, seems to work fine

 

Thanks

 

Honestly I didn't get it either on the 3rd gen. I have a low mileage 08 OR RWD. The best benefit on the 2nd gen is the e-locker differential. I don't think the 3rd gen OR RWD has that. That e-locker will get you on and off some beaches as well as help in some muddy environments. You can still buy a new 2023 RWD Off Road. As far as I know it only has the limited slip rear end like the RWD Sport.

 

I wonder if that design engineer still has a job?

 

Lack of flares was killing me. Finally found an oem set

 

One of the best looking 3rd Gens posted.

 

Wow, sharp truck!

 

Put in the expedition one bumper and superwinch talon winch. The instructions sucked for exp one. I am not a noob, but it still took time for me because they sent the wrong bolts/nuts and was missing all sorts of instructions. Anyway, I figured it out, moved a few things on my own and mounted the winch. Need to do a little trimming still and will probably do a viper cut.

 

Looks like one of your grille lights is making a break for it.
