What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New backlit knobs from TACOMODS on Etsy.
One wonders why Toyota couldn't supply knobs like this to begin with. I don't mind a little silver, but the OEM stock knobs... Seriously?

Latest “mod”- they’re cork and nicely done!

 

I'm having garage envy.

 

I did the same thing! Worked really well. Slight pain getting the fuse block cover off because of the screw mount for the AuxBeam controller.

 

Yep. The fuse cover is already a pain with the OE panel. I moved the auxbeam box toward the firewall so the edge of the screw tab is flush with the edge of the panel and just used double sided tape for the rest.

 

What is the benefit of running 2 circuit breakers and a fuse? Would the break they supplied not be enough protection?

 

From left to right, the first breaker feeds the small fuse block which sends a wire into the cab for interior accessories (plan on adding switched lights within engine compartment in future on this block also), second breaker sends a wire to bed of truck for bed accessories, third breaker is into auxbeam.

 

Also got my Expedition Essentials Mount installed along with all the RAM Mounts.

 

It's my work garage, but at least I get indoor heated/cooled parking year round.

 

Rear set delete cargo/dog deck. Thanks @TRyanOC72 for the idea/ measurements. Less than 100 bucks. 48x24 3/4 oak front edges radiused. Rubber mat 48x36. Black valspar marine paint. Stainless #10 finish washers and 3/4 stainless finish screws. Used three hinges off the rear seats.

Couldn’t stomach 1400 bucks for goose gear. Rather spend the money towards a new barrel for my Desert Tech 408 Cheytec. Just saying priorities.

 

The best modification one can do.

 

Put a new grille on today. Was sick of the stock ‘18 one and wanted to do something different than a pro grille

 

Still not many of these grilles on the road. They look so good

 

Phillips H9 low beam bulbs and RAV4 radio knobs.

 

Favorite version so far! Nice! I guess angle can’t be done this way. It looks soo clean

 

I must agree! Damn good looking grill. Out of all the grills I've seen people do as replacements, I like this one the best!
@TheHate Do you have more information you can share?
I already drilled my OEM grill and mounted a front facing camera, and I'm also a bit in the hole with little mods of my own... But it might help others.
KUDOS.

 

This forum is much more accepting than the TW Reddit page! They roasted a guy for having a grill like this. I think it looks pretty cool!

Oh, dang!

You cut off the exhaust!!!

 

Technically, it was last week, but I installed the pro grille from Tacovinyl, that my wife gave me for Christmas. TSS sensor seems to be working perfectly, as is the front camera.

This week, I ordered the bronze Trail Edition wheels.

So once I get those on, I’m probably going to need to change that “Tacoma” lettering from silver to bronze…
