What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, mines in the Tundra, it's not on a dimmer, I got the kit before that was an available option. I just have the front footwell kits in the taco (they were actually left over from the Tundra kit since I did the POD in the back)

Hmm, behind the rear seat like in the storage area? It is going to face toward the front?

 

Not today, but yesterday…FINALLY got my Pro Grille and HitchPod installed. Truck looks so much better with the Pro Grille, in my opinion. Both the Grille and Garnish are OEM, for less than $500. Not cheap, but OEM is my preference.

 

Nice garage

 

Diode Dynamics finally came out with their hitch mounted light. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit-for-2016-2022-toyota-tacoma.html. I plan on replacing my Baja Designs one with the C1R as soon as it comes.

I like how the wheeling setup gets the rear seat passenger upgrade too.

 

It was a lot of work but my truck is finally on 35s!

35/12.5-17 BFGoodrich KO2s
SPC UCAs
Total Chaos spindle gussets
D.R.T. Fabrication CMR
ProCompUSA -6mm offset wheels
Fender Chop 2"
Southern Style Offroad Stage 2 slimline hybrid bumper
Pinch welds beat back and wells tubbed with a sledge as much as I could.

 

Looks great. I kinda like the look of the white snow on the wheels. I'd get some white wheels next!

 

Where did you purchase a Pro Grille without owning a TRD Pro truck? I was told you needed a vin # to purchase the Pro OEM Grille,. is this entirely true?

 

Yes. But I'm not sure how/where to mount it back there.
I just had an idea to get a 2-way splitter for the High output wire from the breakout harness. One end goes to the Hight input of PWM dimmer module and the other end to the storage LED which "should" only come on when the doors are opened. No courtesy light illumination. Hope it makes sense?

 

So the wiring harness that comes with it plugs into the present wiring harness mounted into the bumper , is this correct?

 

That’s what I understand, it connects inline with the trailer connection

 

Yes. It should be pnp and I like this over the Baja since it sits much flusher in the hitch. I never liked how much the hitchpod setup protrudes from the truck.

 

In front of your left knee down low..not far from the OBD plug

 

Snagged the VIN off a used listing.

 

Finally got a chance to snap a couple crappy pics of the new heritage stripes on. Took some polishing to get rid of the remaining OEM TRD OR stickers on the rear, but I like the way things turned out in the end, and sets the truck off a bit from other 3rd gen Tacos

 

Yeah, that makes sense

 

Amazon. And yes VIAIR is pretty good.

 

its a must when wheeling!

 

Eeeeeee I bought another sensor. I guess I’ll see when I use the spare at this point. I had no idea the spare has/had one.

 

Installed a Carven exhaust and Cali Raised bedside Molle panels this weekend. Pics to come. The Carven exhaust doesn't fit so well with additonal or aftermarket leaf packs so I ended up dumping just after the axle. So far I'm happy with it. Seems to be a much better quality than what it replaced.
