What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Atta boy!!

 

Thanks we appreciate the opportunity! Those bumper steps are nice. AMP makes them and I love having them on all our trucks.

 

I think I purchased the last set in America at a physical dealership over the phone, 1800 miles away. My wife wasn’t too happy about that either. Good job! You have to jump on those while you can. Worst case scenario, you will always be able to get your money back because those are a hot ticket. I put like 17 coats of sealant and wax on them, and black overlays on the Trd to protect the red. Definitely not driving with them in salt during winter.
Now my wife calls it her truck because it looks good and sounds mean.

 

LOL. I bought my 4Runner almost 15 years/233k miles ago and the only 'mods' I made were floor mats and a cargo net (I've only made 1 repair in that timeframe also). In one month of owning my Tacoma I've done much more/spent much more and feel shame that I haven't coated the frame or extended the AC drain hose to prevent rust. And I still have a few shiny bits on my mirrors and tail lights. But I'm having a lot of fun and smile whenever anyone asks how I managed to get the truck in Lunar Rock. And I still have 1/2 a can of PlastiDip.

 

You should feel shame. You need to step your mod-game up. If you don't, we're voting your ass off the island!

 

they look so damn good. refreshing to see a taco without black wheels.

 

2016-2022 Tacoma & 2014-2022 4Runner Spotter Mirror

I'd say just make sure your mirrors are out far enough to eliminate the blind spot. Or buy a stick-on blind spot mirror or a rav4 mirror. I don't think these are worth the $80 imo.

 

I don't have an exact weight yet, but I would estimate it weighs easily under 300lbs now and that is with the upper walls (hard side fold up walls - see those in Ep:7) and I have 80% of the roof completed. I'm trying to keep the shell weight (everything but the interior build out) under 500lbs. I will likely be upgrading my leaf packs (I have Icon 3 Leaf AAL now) when I'm done to help with the load. I think the 4WheelCampers models for the Tacoma are close to 1K lbs so I'm feeling pretty good. They are a bit larger as well of course though. Thanks for following along.

 

Applied a coat of CERAKOTE Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant Maximum Strength (12 oz Bottle)

Time will tell!!

Front Runner RTT came in! Ladder did not come… but got in contact with them and they are sending it now! Replaced hardware for galvanized hardware for better performance in the long run (hex bolts were also to short, ha) If you were wondering as well, its mounted to C4 Fabrication low-pro bed bars. More to come when ladder comes!

 

Yes I totally agree

 

Trd pro air filter installed. Thanks to @Kosta2009 !

 

Installed 2 Dewalt tool boxes - perfect fit for the win!

 

The piping must be a hair larger on the pro. Put the black chrome tip on this am and was not as easy as I thought I had to stretch the inlet a bit to get it to fit. I know someone on here said they wanted the stock tip after I changed it out but I think the shipping would out weigh what the tip is worth.

 

bro i feel you. i had a sonata that i was suppose to get some rims to make it look better but everything looked expensive. so i never pull the trigger. not i have owned my Tacoma since February and got rims, toneucovers, HID for low beam and fogs, side steps and gatering camper gear so i can jump in the truck and camp on a wim.

moral of the story is a tacoma is your wallets worst nightmare.

 

Got these large cup holder from AJT Design

 

Looks clean with the red. Think I’m gonna ordered these over the precision one
