What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Alright boys did some major work today. Trimmed my fenders, chopped my exhaust, new dash stereo tweeters, new ditch light brackets, and Meso total tail stage 1. Had a close friend cutting and grinding. We burned out a dremel after doing half of the body cuts, wild but we made it!

Great day all in prep for new tires, Ahem perhaps dirty fives....

 

I washed up the truck today, nice weather. I found some crud on the windshield later in the evening, anyone else ever notice such stuff on your windshield?

 

SS3 Max fogs went in today. McGeorge Toyota sent two passenger bezels despite the correct P/Ns on the bags

I’ll have the TRD Pro Rigid fogs and bezels listed soon if anyone is interested, perfect condition, bezel tabs are mint as well (1900 miles).

 

Could be reclaimed water spots from Irrigation, (Sprinkler system)

 

You have excellent taste in music!

 

just a slight upgrade to the OEM rear speakers.

 

Cheap, but seems like it’ll hold up

 

I picked it up from my local dealer's website on Monday. What I think happened is that they had a sale + Toyota's 15% off and the two overlapped. The parts guy quoted me $55 for the front bed rail and $155 for the bed mat over the phone, so I asked about the website price and he said that was online only. I went back Tuesday to see if it was still going so I could post it here (and maybe buy the skid) but it wasn't. After picking up the parts I found out that the parts website and the dealer are no longer the same; they just get a portion of the sales picked up from their store.

Hey, @hogeyphenogey I just checked and it's $32.88 right now. But unless you are local shipping might kill that savings. Maybe you can find a local dealer that uses the same web store.

 

I may try a pick and pull near me

 

Good luck. There are so many Tacomas around here even the auto recyclers can't keep parts in stock

 

I noticed a 14" long crack on mine. 1" per 100 miles I guess. Ugh.
We also get sticky crud sprayed on our roads (mag chloride) so most of the winter my windshield looks like that. I'm assuming yours is something different unless you are now having ice in Florida.

 

Bestop sold the top for both trucks with the same part number. The tailgate bracket for the 3rd Gen is different though. Although it’s shaped the same it is 1/2” higher than the 2nd Gen because of the tailgate height difference.
From what I understand Bestop also sold the early 3rd Gen buyers the kit with the same brackets as the 2nd Gen - frustrating people.

 

Thank you. Really appreciate the ideas and help around here. Although the ideas often cost me time and money.

 

I like the white. I am not a big fan of amber.
And it looks like someone pointed you in the direction to get those wires to the DRL/parking lights, which I think is the way to go

What dealer? I see you’re in Colorado. I’m in Arvada, so hopefully it’s local enough for me.

Looks great!

 

No ice yet, in Florida. I get the crud on windshield even overnight when parked.

 

Just showing my 2014 FJ cruiser that came with lockers and most of the whistles of its time left it alone without mods.
The 2022 Tacoma sport for the most part is left factory and the mods are minor
