What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Maybe not for most people but honestly the electric seat features arnt exactly useful in my case.

 

So… a while ago i sold my shell/topper whatever. I had my eye on a victory bed rack, and a gfc superlite. The victory bed rack, don’t tell them this, can be used as a chase rack also. I had two sets of Baja designs s1 in the flood style so those are facing rearward and sideways off the rack. I’m sure I’ve done some other things recently.

 

Is that duct tape on the license plate lights??

 

A nice cleaning to end the weekend.

 

My rear (and front) bumper is waiting in the garage for a warm weather weekend.
What are folks using to extend the trailer harness. Is there an easy plug and play option?

 

All credit goes to @Mr Marv. The box got a clear coat ... no plans to wrap or paint.

 

What bumper is that? Looks solid, you deserve a few beers now.

 

Added a couple small quick fist mounts to the prinsu. Any ideas for what to put on the one side of the pelican case?

 

sweet toys in the garage too.

I bought this Relentless Fab tailgate reinforcement a year ago and my dumbass thought I'd save some money and paint it myself. I forget if I used primer or not but I remember I used Rust-Oleum truck bed coating spray. How can I prevent the paint peeling like this in the future? What should I do now to correct this? Wondering if I just need to sand everything down and start over.

 

Check out Fitztaprint on Etsy - solid seller with all sorts of different panel configurations!

 

Trying to fit a 275/70/17 spare under the truck. It's pretty snug here now but I'm worried that I can't get it all the way up in the spare wheel well. Do ya'll think this is an issue? I tried hammering out the two clamps but they didn't budge much. Thinking of grabbing a torch to ease the metal up a bit and having another go at it.

 

Deflate the tire some or completely (if you have a compressor onboard). And pull it back towards the hitch while you bring it up

 

Finally got the Pro Shift Knob Illumination installed, and I love it.
I also tied it into the security light as you can see from the pictures (blue for interior and red for the security).
I tied the blue interior LED to be on when I have my headlights on. I installed LEDs in the cup holders and rear center console so it was easy to just tape into that wiring.
Not sure what the difference is between the AT and MT but I did not have to drill a hole in the collar to pass the wires through.

 

Finally got around to mounting the traction boards properly prior to upcoming shenanigans at the Outer Banks.

 

I used a 27oz dead blow hammer and they moved significantly with less than 10 whacks each. Pulling the spare rearward while lifting as mentioned above also helps.
This is what my 285/70r17 looks like fully inflated:
Edit: this is also with the lifter relocate linked several posts below

 

I have a KO2 spare in that size. The tire shop couldn’t get it to fit but I just got under the truck and shimmied it side to side while essentially bench pressing it and got it to squeak into the spot. I probably bent something in the process but it fits.

 

I opened my tailgate.

My office chair hydraulic piston is entering a failing stage after 3 years. I considered swapping the Taco stock OR shocks for 51xx/61xx and use the original as a chair system, but I figured you would say they are not enough.

So bought a new office chair instead ... Tempurpedic seatpad which is very comfortable so I just bought another one of the same model.

Just a bit easier than transporting in a Corolla.

 

I installed the Hypertech speedometer calibrator. It corrected the difference caused by the 33” tires I installed as advertised.
