What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Raptor lights are so yesterday. I’m starting Lightning Lights….
I’m actually not sure who started it. I was inspired by a mock up of an EV Jeep I saw somewhere. I do like the solid look though that a lot of the EVs are doing.

 

Not the OP but these are my BillieBars.

 

Has anyone tried these yet for the bumper caps? Would like to get rid of the chrome bumper caps, these guys offer genuine oem caps and painted to match.

i try to stay oem as much as possible

46 here. The SR comes with very little interior chrome. The steering wheel emblem, the 4X4 switch, and the cup holder surround is all if I recall correctly. So what chrome there is was just out of place. Chrome isn’t a bad thing IMO if done right.

 

Sorry, I haven't used them. If they can paint in a controlled environment I'd guess they turn out nice.
I considered just covering my chrome caps with these from Chromestoppers but they didn't have my color. So I just spent part of an afternoon and an $11 can of Plastidip and blacked them out myself (and I have no car painting experience). It's peelable paint so if I ever want to go back to chrome I should be able to. Lots of how-to videos.

 

Too much

 

Great pics! What bed stiffeners do you have on there? Looking for TruckVault compatible ones for mine.

 

I got aftermarket MGM caps from Ebay and they're fine for looks. Amazon sells them too. In hindsight I probably should have gone with a full aftermarket bumper as the entire rear bumper is cheap plastic.

I don't know how easy they are to find in your area but the older fat tire bikes are a blast for your style of riding and area. Look for Yamaha big wheels or Honda Fat Cats. They can get pricy as they have a cult following, but they will allow you more time in the seat with your weather. I have an 80 Yamaha that I will never part with. 3 speed clutchless with neutral, nothing but fun.

 

Update: it’s rained a TON here over the past couple days and it’s kept my bed completely dry the whole time

 

One of those would be pretty sweet, this little coleman is surprisingly capable. I can go 50 mph, its light weight, has a torque converter, good traction, low to the ground, the only thing I wish it had was rear suspension.... with the hard tail, many bumps turn into sack slappers where you butt comes off the seat, then the seat slaps your nuts real hard when it comes down again.

I really want a Rokon though, but that price tag is huge.

Nothing fancy but "we" installed a Cat Shield this weekend. It took my son-in-law about 20 minutes Lol…I helped a little. 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L Catalytic Converter Shield – MillerCAT Corp (catshield.com)

 

I took my 3rd gen to one of the many PATC primitive cabins here in Virginia. The fog was pretty heavy driving to the cabin which made for a spooky drive.

 

Hope your not a virgin, if so your going to die first here.

 

Haunted house?

Spoiler

 

Looks like something from one of those teenage cabin in the woods ritual murder movies. Like there is some group of subterranean mole people that live down by the river and they hunt virgins at night..

 

Broke 8500 miles so changing my oil for the 2nd time.

 

Noise level is really low. Nothing like the mud terrains I had on there before.

 

I'm a tad late to this party, but I wanted to point out that I did some digging on this company, and I can promise you this is 100% overseas garbage.

We make something that is better quality, and we make 'em right here in America!
