What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

wheels? tires? roof rack? topper? its like a picture puzzle

 

Used the truck to pick up a nice clean 4hp outboard motor. Also got a free 23 year old trolling motor thats full of spiders.
Now I need to build a mount in the bed for the outboard since I cant leave it on the boat while driving (plastic hull boat)

For those who dont know, boat gas tanks and fuel lines are stupid expensive.... 3 gallon tank and fuel line with fittings and bulb cost me $130!

 

Lol

 

Installed the DRT FAB shackle hangars paired with the dever stage 1 leaf springs.

 

So I was thinking about sound deadening the inside of the truck.
Has anyone used

$72 Amazon Basics Car Sound Deadening Mat, 18" x 32", 9-Piece

Amazon Basic Sound Deadening ??

 

Yep. We have two other vehicles, both with wireless Car Play and they work that way too. Just wasn't sure if that particular adapter would and apparently it does.

 

The welds on that thing are pretty stunning!

 

Looks bad ass, what does that do? Sorry I’m a noob at suspension stuff.

 

I am looking to install the door sill protectors but do not know how to align them front to back. I have the instructions, which show an alignment point which I do not see on the truck. A search brought up your post, so I figured I would ask you. Also, mine seem to be sticky adhesive, so what to you mean by “wet method?” Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

From their website: https://www.drt-fabrication.com/product/2005-tacoma-shackle-hanger-kit

Archive Garage has their Hammer Hangers (https://archivegarage.com/explore-archive/ols/products/tacoma-hammer-hangers) and Rago Fabrication ( ) also makes a similar product.

 

Dude since I schooled myself on pinion angles and how to measure correctly, omg it's great. Big test will be tomorrow on the interstate going to work. From a stop instantly feel the improvement. Smooth like it's stock again.

 

The new to me Tacoma had a big day today.

Popped in the meso map and dome light, 67 taco rail, and put in the gator liners.

Moved outside and removed the front air dam, swapped the lows, highs, and fogs to led with switchbacks in the fogs, did the ac drain mod, rear diff breather relocate to the tail light, and while the tail light was off swapped the reverse lights to led and put the total chaos bed stiffeners in. Finished up the day by taking off the chrome steps and the TRD stickers on the bed.

 

Put on a new sticker lol

 

Getting ready to install my outgear solutions bumper

 

Interesting. I have the KDMAX 9.0 and it’s been fantastic. Now I’m curious about an OTT haha.

 

99.9999999% of insurance providers have an app.

you can also keep your card in your wallet, though I don’t think any have personal info on them anymore outside your name, expiration date and policy number.

 

Oh ok I had the wiresss charger one. I didn’t like it. It attached to your case with a thin metal ring, but there wasn’t enough surface area so it would unstick from the phone case especially when hot and stay on the magnet mount leaving your phone to fall off. I had to replace the ring and try two different cases.

 

Interesting. There is a local guy doing OTT now… I’m tempted to switch over since the damn dealership erased my tune. Again.

 

I mean more so registration. Yeah statefarm has an app. But they always ask for license and registration

 

Installed the BAMF gas tank skid today. I think it was the easiest mod I’ve done till date, besides the gashole.
