What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Folks will think I’m crazy, but I traded my gray Semas for a set of 2020+ Sport rims. Overall I like the sport rims better in looks and the fact that the mud flaps cover them completely.

The Semas were cool but I also get tired of seeing them on every third Toyota I pass be it a 4R or Tacoma. Happy with the trade and so is the nice fella I traded with.

Also traded my black tip TRD catback for the chrome version, which works well with the shiny portions of Sport rims.

 

i agree with you. dark wheels on a dark truck is kinda bland.

 

Agreed. My truck kind of looked like a gray blob with the Semas.

 

I am folks

 

2nd gen running boards are plug and play?

 

Couldn't help notice your good lookin Taco is by a sign advertising 2 liquor stores.

 

Hah, yeah I guess that’s the luck of that discount tire location in the background!

 

@BLtheP

Very interesting! I think Bronze Wheels go well with any color.

I like the look as well...and I'd have to do a double-take to see if you had a "skewp". lol

I'll be switching wheels/tires in the future but I will probably keep my Sport Wheels. I'm collecting parts I've removed or replaced from my Sport.

Maybe one day I'll put them up for sale!

 

I love bronze, and considered the Semas in bronze and then just selling my gray Semas, but ultimately I didn’t want to lose money. Also, bronze on gray just wasn’t my favorite. I like it, but it doesn’t ‘pop’ like bronze on white or black to me. I’ve always liked the 2020+ Sport rims (and for a while I wished I got the Sport which would have had the rims I wanted), so I posted up a feeler on FB and within like 3 minutes I had someone agree to trade.

And it’s funny you say that about double taking on the ‘skewp’, I tell people I’m creating a Sport/OR hybrid lol. Offroad suspension and locker, Sport rims, paint match bumper caps. Only things I’m missing really are the skewp and the stickers.

I’ll probably remove my bed stickers eventually, making it impossible to know. They won’t know if it’s a Sport with a OR hood, or an OR decked out in sport gear, lol.

I think I’m gonna stick to the small tires, I like how they drive and they look good enough to me. No lift will ever happen here, I just don’t want to mess with it.

 

@BLtheP

Well, here's a pic of the front wheel the day I took her home!



Since I had the Bushwacker Fendys installed, I've got the bug to do a lift in about 6-8months! YeeeeHaaaaw!

 

Here in Mexico we only have 3 options in Tacoma. A basic 2wd, and a sport and special edition 4x4. The SE is only available in one color per yr, this yr it's Lunar Rock.

 

Yes, they are.

 

Just an FYI

you don’t have to tag someone if you quote them. Not sure if you knew that are not?

if you’re used to it then keep with it but might be a little less effort

 

Just curious... what does LED interior lighting do for you? Different colors maybe?

 

I'm learning as I go...lol!

Not long ago, someone told me I didn't need to add my sign-off:

Ed
****

I would end my text with the above ending. I ended up putting it in my signature.

I'm not bothered about it, either way...I'm use to typing and spelling things out...which I sometimes have to google abbreviations to understand people's intent.

 

All good. Just trying to help

 

From my previous post… here are some shots of the Auxito LEDs for low beams and fog lights. Still have stock high beam bulbs.

High beams.

 

Colors and brightness. I have the meso dual color ones, I work night shift so I like the option to have them set to red most of the time but still have the ability to switch them to white and unleash the sun. The stock incandescent bulbs were horrible when trying to find something in the truck at night and left so much to be desired.

 

Honestly never thought of having the color changing ones. That’s smart. I just prefer to have them bright in general so I swapped all of mine for white.

 

Most of you have seen this a hundred times.

Added BD Squadron-Rs today along with some Sequential signals. Figure one is function over form, the other is form over function. Massive differences between the factory LED fogs and these BD units. Really pleased with the turn out. Still not sire if I've aimed them properly. Nobody flashed me on my way home.
