What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Here's a short thread on that topic regarding the bed storage/cubby's. Also a video on how to install one and where to order the box

I zoomed in on the red cover at first. Then saw the light. Lol.

 

It's pretty easy. I might suggest taking the wheels off to get the entire inside. The bag they give you kinda blocked some of the spray in certain spots. You have to look for it though.

 

New Z-Percision cup holder. Also took out the chrome trim around the other cup/coin holder to blackout while I had it apart.

 

I’ll never understand why the access cab doesn’t get a cargo light. I added Matt Gecko LEDs which are awesome though.

 

DAMN! Is that RUST? If so, that's the worst I have seen on a 3rd Gen... I thought it may be some type of coating that was sprayed on. But if so, why would you choose rust for the color? Lol...

 

We may not get the cargo light but at least the one we get is fastened from the outside and does not leak. Big fail on Toyota engineers for that one.

 

Have you heard of "Pre-Runners"?

 

I noticed mine only goes in a certain way.
But didn’t see any wear.

 

Got a link?

 

These are the white LEDs: https://mattgeckoleds.com/shop/ols/...th-bed-mounted-switch-toyota-tacoma-2005-2021

The SR access cab is what many companies use as fleet trucks. You would think a promoted "work truck" would at least have a bed light. You certainly would think the higher priced Sport and Off Road access cabs would have them. Toyota manufacturing probably saves $2 per truck not adding it. At least they spent the $2 savings on the 1974 era Rambler high end stereo speakers. Speakers used today are identical to the ones they used in my 2008 Taco. Oh what a feeling !!!

 

I got a solution! Don't pull your dipstick anymore!! LOL!

 

Cool; more power options!

 

Any wear is going to be on the inside of the tube so it won't be readily obvious.

 

Good to know, but I'm not ready to cut anything. At least not until it gets its first scratches.

 

Well done sir.

 

Put a good cocktail of rust prevention down.
Various thing for various areas.
