What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cool Springs, TN? Nice place if so.

 

I contemplate stage 2 myself - sorry be that guy / PITA asking, but a side pic and from an angle would be very appreciated. thanks.

 

MOAR

 

I found the surrounds on Amazon. I did heat them a little and the dash before I applied to help with the bends.

 

Picked up my '23 Off-Road w/premium off-road package, advanced tech package and LED headlamps. This is my first Taco, but excited to join the family!

Some small quality of life items already on order:
- Diode Dynamics interior lights
- Diode Dynamics LP light
- Black Emblem Overlays
- Tailgate Inserts
- Extang Trifold soft bed cover
- Bed LED light kit from Matt Gecko

 

"...quality of life items..." I like the perspective. Welcome and congrats on the new ride!

If you got the bed switch with that kit from Gecko Matt and intend to mount it on the side of the AC plug bay, be careful where you drill...I centered it too much had a really hard time getting the switch in as there was a plastic flange behind it I couldn't see that interferrerd on the bed side. Anyway...might be worth intentionally not centering it in favor of closer to the outside edge of the bed. Great kit BTW.

 

ummm yea i need info on those keychains. k thx

 

Welcome to the club! Post your updates in the Barcelona Red forum too!

 

Added some AVS low profile matte black rain guards and Tacomods radio knobs.

 

Are those AC vent and climate control rings stock on the OR?

 

No sir, they are AJT Designs.

 

Just curious… Newer Tacos has a PnP capability to add the OEM bed light kit?

 

Yes. I think it was from the '20s on and only with models with the cargo light. Just remove the taillight, pop off the cover plate where the light goes, plug in the wire, and reinstall the taillight. They're wired to the cargo light so they go on/off with that.

 

Yep...installed the OEM bed light kit on my '22 TRD OR. Took me all of about 15 mins to install. It took me longer to find a 10mm socket than it did to do the actual install.

 

Add to the list for the glare from the LP lights

I wish I could buy a batch of 10mm sockets to put in every tool box and every pocket. I think most of the truck is assembled with 10mm bolts!

 

I have a 10mm drawer with lots of options.

 

I finished my dog platform this week. I got a ton of good ideas and great advice from folks on this site, I think it turned out pretty well. I used one of those surplus Army foam backpacking sleeping mats under the carpet to make it comfortable for my elderly dog, but not so soft that he can't stand well on it...

 

I did get mine installed without any major problems. Guess I was lucky.
