What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Manuel Antonio?? Yes, CR (due to the jungle and its roads) have some of the most epic rigs I've seen!

 

i just brought it home yesterday. 2018. barely any kms and it feels brand new. my first toyota. i think i am already in love.

 

Congratulations and welcome to TW!

 

I'm with you on that. If needed, I replace in the spring as well since CO uses sand on the roads to fight the ice. I am just thankful they don't put salt on like WI or out east!

 

Congrats

 

I got my OEM bed lights on sale so I didn't even bother to shop around. I can't imagine they are much different; these seem like pretty basic LEDs (not like a light bar with such variation). Since they install on the side of the bed, and even though they are angled a bit, it's not like you can see perfectly in every nook and cranny. But they really help to see what's in the bed (esp. w/ the tonneau) and better and more convenient than a flashlight.

 

Theoretically, comprehensive claims don't affect your individual rates (although if there are recurring hail storms or a lot of thefts in your area rates for all customers will go up). We had a 6 month stretch where we hit 1 deer ($13k), got hit by a rock that fell off a truck ($6k) and replaced a windshield and they kept us. Whew; I was getting concerned about cancellation. Oh, and hail hit the house for another $24k (thankfully the cars were in the garage).

 

Thanks, that helps! Wasn’t expecting much difference other than the possibility of brightness. All LED’s aren’t necessarily the same.

 

Wow that’s a stretch of crazy for sure! Yeah I may call the insurance and just get it done once the winter is over here. Theft has been growing here unfortunately lately, the news just said today my county and the nextdoor county have 81 auto thefts a day over the past 2 months.

 

Looks awesome! Congrats.

 

Wow. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

 

Got my new hooke roof rack put on

 

If you hang around here you're also about to be broke and in love.

 

That looks really great. Very slick. I like how it is nice and close to the roof line. Did it come with the light bar, or did you add it?

 

Yea, 2018...the best year! (debatable, of course)
nice looking truck! Congrats

 

Congrats! Enjoy it. But, as soon as the honeymoon phase has worn off get a tune and you’ll fall in love with it all over again…or just get it now. I’d recommend KdMaxx by @PapaRee

 

It came with it

 

That looks nice. My brother is currently on the market for a roof rack. Going to need to show him this.

 

I've been busy over the past several months, doing what I can when I can. I'm not exactly sure where I left off so I'll hit the big ones.

• C4 Fab Overland rear bumper.
• Baja Designs S2 Sport follow lights. I'll also use these as camp lights so they're on a dedicated full time switch.

• TRD Ironman 16x8 zero offset custom painted wheels.
• Falken Wildpeak AT3 285/75R/16 tires.

• Quick grab potty bag and medical kit hung on back of headrests.

• KTJO driver side grab handle. Rivnut hardware and tool on order. I absolutely do not trust the included lower hardware.
• Motor Trend seat cover, Slowton dog seatbelt on headrest and Vastar dog seatbelt in the passenger side receptacle to kill the chime while my service dog rides shotgun. Lots more dog gear already documented but I'm happy to answer questions.
• A metric sh!t ton of camping gear and recovery gear for overlanding and local runs. I highly recommend the Setpower R45D fridge/freezer, Opes 1200w power station, and Baldr 120w solar panel. Best bang for your buck hands down.

I think that's it folks... for now.

 

I added a trailer hitch under the winch I already had on my Westin winch brush guard
