What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Save yourself some future aggravation and pick up a wide mouth foam cannon...I switched mine out...much easier to fill.

 

I'm curious if you found a solution. I found that there used to be many plastic overlays available but it seems Toyota is cracking down on people copying/earning money from their logo (well within Toyota's rights to do this) so they are getting hard to find. Found one on ebay and impulsively ordered it for too much money.

Then I wondered if it's a good idea to put a thin hard plastic overlay on. If the airbag deploys would that throw bits of broken plastic at my face and chest? I'm never had an airbag deploy on me but stuff happens. One post said the original emblem is fairly flexible.

I'm not obsessive about killing my interior chrome, but that steering wheel emblem really stands out now that I've covered the vent rings.

 

I made it and had a shop upholster it. Under the pad, a lid opens to the former bin space with tools under. The rear portion under the pad has about 2" of clearance. One side has a portal cutout, the other doesn't. I fit some tools there for quick access, like an axe and Silky saw. The tank towards the front is the Front Runner tank, fits nicely.

 

Can you say "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair

 

Looks great! How big of a challenge was the build?

 

Mine came with some huge extra chunks of rubber stuck to it… already looked toughened up. Like everything else with these rigs… we notice it, post, search, obsess, forget then repeat

 

I made the platform in about 6 hours. Not sure how long they took to upholster it but it wasn't cheap as you'd expect for bespoke work.

 

Nice platform! Just curious - how are you using the water tank? (Why in-cab vs outside or in the bed?)

 

I think it's normal. Noticed mine since 2019 when I got it.

 

Just installed 17x8.5" with 0 offset FSW (Factory Style Wheels) 2022 TAC PRO Style and 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3. She's a little dirty, needs a bath. My setup has 2" Rough Country N3 front struts and 1" blocks in rear.

 

Just curious. All yous guys deleting rear seats, what do you do with the seats when removed? Peace and Love

 

Today I mounted my HiLift Jack using the RCI brackets.
Then I grabbed a painting canvas from home depot, rattle canned it, and used one wrap to secure it.

Keeps it discrete, and the canvas keeps it relatively dry.
As a bonus canvas can serve as a tarp during repairs, fire retardant , or weight on a tow strap during recovery.

 

What did I do today was actually pick my Tacoma up!! TRD 17” Wheels, Ko2 tires, TRD OEM lift, OEM bed mat, OEM side rail/step, 3M front fascia area . Soon to be installed blackout lettering, and of course Amazon TRD tire valve caps .

 

Finished up the driverside hydrobump, got everything loctited and finished fender trimming. Just waiting on shafts from a buddy, and then its time to beat on it!

 

Washed it from all the pollen it needed it

 

That looks sick

 

Dont get metel valve stem caps they coroid and u will have to use plyers or wrench to get off. Speaking from experience.

 

Got 3 and 2 lift kit installed and new 265 70 17 durtrac tires

 

I remember years in GA where it looked like it rained yellow snow from the sky. I dig that striking cobalt blue color.

 

Sheeeesh
