What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added some double sided tape to this flappy ass bolt cover

 

They are amazing in the snow for being non studded. They will occasionally slide in very very bad conditions but overall I think it’s one of the top 3 best off roading tires that handle well in snow also. Everyone in colorado had them too lol. My girlfriend and neighbor are the ones that put me on game

 

Picked up a set of these for the new wheels.

 

They look like Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. I'm also in Colorado and have had them on my 4Runner, and have found them to be great all-around except for ice. They are amazing in snow and basic off-road (I don't do the hard stuff), are pretty quiet for the aggressive tread, and wear well (about 50K for me). But in ice they just don't have enough siping. When I replace my OEM tires I'll be considering them for the Tacoma.

 

Just finished installing Peragon Platinum bed cover, shocks need to loosen up a bit but very happy with the look. Also got the tailgate power lock actuator installed in the tailgate, sun is getting pretty hot so going to wait till it cools back down later tonight to finish the wiring in the cab and under the truck.

 

i'm looking at those. one's going on the automatic tacoma, because toyota won't offer the long bed with what i want.

lol, did you see the 'toretto special'?

ok, i've got to ask, what happened to your interior!? if there's a build log somewhere, just link me to it and i'll read up later

 

haha that’s hilarious. Always bugs me when I watch a F&F movie they shift so much!

 

Thought I would do a couple simple mods today.
Changed license plate bulbs, because one died, with LED. Now I get hyperflashing when signaling left and right. Now what?
Changed LEDs in fog light housings, because one died, but one broke and fell inside. Now what?

 

Finished installing a homebrew Front camera mod.

Installed an OEM front bed rail purchased from Sparks Toyota.

$56 PT27835100BH Genuine Toyota Accessories PT278-35100-BH Truck Bed Header Rail

PT27835100BH perfect fit in my '22 5ft bed. IIRC, $33 for the OEM rail, $19 S+H.

Halfway done with a homebrew Footwell Lights mod using an Oznium LED fade controller. Possible precursor for some fade in/out puddle/courtesy lights mounted underneath the truck. If I do that, my plan is to mount them on some support bolted into one of the recessed threaded holes used for installing running boards.

 

new wheels and tires...Method 705 17x8.5 w/ 265/70 17s

 

I like those. They remind me of the trd bead lock's.

 

Can you fish it out with a piece of tape on a paper clip?

 

Where there is a will, there is a way! Applies to everything. Congratulations on your hard work.

 

Idea. I got these tiny 3mm rare earth magnets, really strong. I would glue one on end of pencil, let dry completely, stick pencil into that hole to catch the bulb base.

 

I tried with a mechanic's pencil magnet but the 3x tabs made it impossible to pull through the hole and magnet not strong enough to hold the base.

 

Good idea. I think I have a few of those. Will try to rig something up.

 

Finished my shell refinish and re-install. Project thread is on the general board.

After Raptor Liner

 

The housing is held in place by a single screw (Philips washer head on a 2019). Depending on how you're accessing it might be easier to pull it.

 

That's why I get them siped when I buy them.

 

Did you install both cushion and back pads? Because that's impressive to tie together and then run to the console, considering how the rears fold.

My back seat passengers are dogs, so they'll get nothing and like it. Even the driver's floor vent is blocked by a subwoofer.
