What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

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.

 

Picked up some used sliders last night about 2 hours from home. My turn and burn plan was significantly interrupted when unforecasted snow started coming down hardddd

 

Typical human.

 

I'm not the OP, but https://www.tufskinz.com/collections/tacoma-2016 makes the inserts in most OEM colors + TRD red. I just did my front door handles. Super easy. The rubber inlays for all the cupholders and cubbies are sold by several sellers on Amazon.

 

Sweet!! Meso must've added new inventory,... been waiting for a while to pick a set up myself.

 

Remember that is actually a tow hook and not a rated recovery hook. You could use it carefully to get unstuck in very light situations but it's actually for towing on level ground.

I ran a set of overlays over the stock emblems for three years. The truck was washed 1-2 times a week. No fading, peeling or chipping. I removed them for a new set this last summer ..... They were an absolute bitch to get off.

 

I know, I don't really do off-roading and my truck isn't a 4x4, but I do a lot of camping in the Ocala National Forest and we get stuck in soft sand from time to time so I wanted an easy way to attach a tow strap.

 

i actually ordered them through TacomaLifestyle. grab'em while the got'em

 

get a hypodermic needle and you can put a tiny hole in the bubble and work it flat.
