What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine looks about the same.

 

I have the Bakflip MX4 and also live where we get lots of road gunk. Unfortunately I injured myself and haven't been driving much or parking in the snow like normal so I can only give you partial information and haven't really put it to the test. .
Overall, it fits really well if you install it correctly and I haven't gotten much water in, even at the car wash. Only at the corners.
First I tried it without the drain tubes and the water just ran to the front and pooled on the wheel wells. Since I put in the drain tubes that hasn't happened. I used the brass hose adapters and just 'plugged' them into the bed drain holes; sorry, I don't remember the size. Others drill a hole in the side of the bed and run them out that way. Since I added a bed mat I just tuck them under the edge.
There is still some minor leakage at the corners, more by the tailgate. I used the foam weather stripping that came with the MX4 (it wasn't needed for the install) to seal the rear part and then a thinner weather stripping on the tailgate. I used some of the thinner weather stripping at the front of the bed too. See this post for pics: https://www.tacomaworld.com/posts/28173756/
Since doing that extra weather stripping I've had nothing get in the bed but I also haven't been out driving in bad conditions with only one usable arm. I've never had anything come up from between the tailgate and the bottom of the bed.
The MX4 came with some small bumpers but no instructions where to put them. Bakflip sent me a picture and I could tell from that that they had added some caulk at the front of the bed. So take that as a hint also that the corners need a little help.

 

Just a few interior cosmetic additions with the vent rings, control knobs, red trim, and glove box inlays. Tasteful and not too gaudy, i think... also installed the smoked turn signal lenses on the side mirrors. Was going to do some relatively cheap smoked tail light lenses too, but read a bunch of nightmare reviews about major electrical problems arising, so I decided to forego that upgrade until I can afford the nice ones.

Not in the picture is the TRD Pro shift knob that I put on today as well

Next week, I'm installing side steps.

 

high roller

 

So today I decided to do something about the glare I get off the hood bulge at times. Quite chilly out so did it in the garage so the pic isn't the greatest. Wife is out of town so it gave me a chance to do a few things I've been meaning to do. While I was in the mood to put vinyl on things, I wrapped my new to me Air 2S

 

Nice but man are they spendy!!

 

LMAO at ur screen name an profile pic!

 

Yeah its a little wavy, but yours looks cleaner. Oh well, I got to make due with what I got.

 

Nice I did the same thing

 

Just got my hood stamp lol

 

nice. where'd you get these little guys?

 

Best grill in my opinion. Getting this set up soon.

 

The only thing I've done to my Taco is to add that little bell because I wanted to have a Taco Bell.
Today is going to be a nice day with a high of 66f, so I'm going to get my lazy butt out and put a couple of hundred miles on my Taco.
I need to get another 650 miles on her so I can get the first oil and filter change out of the way. I ordered a SnugTop Sport High Liner back in November. I'm still waiting.

 

New tires and wheels . Always Hated the cheap plastic cover stock wheels & when one busted it was time to replace . Went to 17 inch wheels & wider tires but same height (no change to speedometer)

 

I normally hate roof top light bars, but something about dual rectangle lights really makes me happy.

 

Took it through the mountains to deliver a trailer for work. 3000 lb unit.
Calgary AB to Vernon BC .

Returned decent mileage
[12 mpg] 18.9 L per 100 on way there and in 4HI for 3/4 of the trip.

[21 mpg] 11.0 L per 100 on way home and in 4 HI for half the trip.

Funny angle of picture. Lol. Trailer looks humongous and the Taco looks like a toy.

 

A thousand pardons, sir!

 

Nice looking truck. I want to go with wider wheels and tires. They just look so much better.
