What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sadly it gets dark so early I am not able to take pictures but added OEM chrome tailgate lettering and OEM chrome exhaust tip this week, and have the power tailgate lock to install Sunday.

 

Which kit did you use for the red stuff… Looks great!

 

A little chrome is a good thing.

 

I had a decent relationship with soapy water right around puberty.

 

Dome light and map lights with the meso customs. Dual color option of course.

 

Thanks! 265/70/17.. I should go bigger, but I originally did 5100s and an AAL and then upgraded the whole lift when I felt it was too short.. can’t stomach buying another new set of tires yet lol. And I would 100% need gears if I do go any bigger. It’s barely tolerable at the moment with all the extra weight and the shitty stock gearing

 

Tuffskin. Seems pretty good quality and the fit and finish was perfect on every item. Also good shipping from them as these items can bend and break easily. There was plenty of cardboard to keep everything rigid.

 

I had a similar issue with my bedside decals. After a week or so all the bubbles flattened out on their own and totally disappeared. Yours should do the same. Park in the sun and give it some time.

 

The weather will put the black out covers to the test. I cleaned the emblems then warmed them with a heat gun. Before applying. Course now the temps are dwindling. But will rise again but with a wind swept rain. Man I should go out there and tape over them until the rain subsides just for some time for the tape to cure so to speak. Or am I overreacting

 

What? Your mom won't let you out after dark to snap a few pictures? That's terrible. Maybe you should do all your homework and eat your vegetables!

 

Ugh. What to do what to do. I know I need to debadge the sr5 emblems. No blackout cover for those.

 

So you see in order for a camera to take a picture the light has to reach a special sensor, at night there is very little light because the sun is on the other side of the earth. If you have any more questions I'm sure you can ask your science teacher, he probably has a book with some pictures that will help you grasp the concept.

 

It sounds like you need to step your game up and get a better phone, one that can take pictures in low light and/or has a flash on it.

 

I mean if your really this upset I don't have a photo it's ok for you to just cry it out buddy, no need to lash out at others.

Adulting tip: Playground insults aren't a good look once there isn't a playground involved in your daily schedule anymore. I mean in the Marines we call them obstacle courses... but I could see how the Army would confuse them for playgrounds.

 

Crickets. Lol.

 

Recently added Stedi Type X Sports.

Always had a soft spot for big round driving lights and after years of waffling between everything from LP9s to Daylighters these seemed to hit the mark for me on price, output, quality and looks. Baja level build quality(Aussie made, not China), close to Baja light output and optical quality and won't make your wallet cry.

Have to order direct from AUS but come in at a third of the price as a pair of LP9s even after international shipping.

 

There is an option; it's pricey and looks like crap, but it does exist: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Toyota-Blackout-Emblem-Overlay-Kit-2018-Tacoma-00016-35860/253986189402

Probably. But I did the same. I figured that the $18 I spent vs $160 OEM was worth the gamble. If it doesn't work, I can fall back to OEM. The road grime makes the plasti-chrome look crummy after a year or two anyway so what's a little sticky glue to remove before trying again?

 

Those are overlays. Man that’s pricey. I had a roll of sealant tape so the overlays from Amazon will stay dry. I’ll see what what in a year. Like you said. It’s a cheap cosmetic upgrade without much invested so it’s a gamble I’m not worried about. I just have zero patience and a “want it now” mentality. Lol.
