What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks really good! I'm curious, what made you decide to get the "smooth" vs the diamond pattern finish?

 

Do you have to explain that it’s totally different than the others, even though it may look the same?

 

If not impossible. Been cranking a YES cd I found. Btw.

 

I finally installed the OEM roofracks, on which I placed my basket rack that I kept from my 2nd-Gen Tacoma. I went with the OEM-Style racks because of the good experience with my old Taco. It was sturdy and lasted for 2 decades trouble-free and rust-free because they are made of composite (rails) and aluminum (cross arms). It is quiet (no wind noise or whistle) and very streamlined when tucked in lenght-wise. I got them for $117.0 on eBay and it is an aftermarket brand of very similar quality, if not the same, as the Toyota “OEM”.
I hang the Mockins basket on two hooks on the wall of my garage when not in use, to get best MPG and to keep it from rusting out.

Now, let’s go winter camping!

 

I see someone praying to a higher power in that last pic

 

Hooked up the cteck Trickle charger this morning to top off the battery. The Truck has been sitting awhile. Then took it for a ride to drop in to say hi at my favorite Surf Shop.

 

Btw the spots are from pb blaster. Fwiw

 

That’s right. Got it done

 

I wasn’t gonna have 6 bolts kick my ass on a 40 degree day!!

 

this was my question as well. I've only ever seen the diamond

 

Looking like a wet trip to Carlisle this year. Doesn’t matter to me.

 

I like that the design was updated so the bed mat doesn't have to be trimmed.

 

Got a little festive hahaha gave it a mustache too

 

Nice truck!! Is that a satin or matte black wrap?

 

just say "I need all of them"

 

The wrap is "Satin Black Rock Grey". It's the closest wrap I could find in Satin to wrap my Magnetic Grey Metallic taco without it being obvious its wrapped.

 

What front bumper is that?

 

4WP's with optional wings. It's similar to the Southern Style Offroad bumper, I just got this cause it was in stock locally. No complaints on it, bolted on just fine with no modifications or issues.

 

Installed these last night

 

Such a hero this truck looks awesome!
