What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

We customize to add a bit of "us" to the trucks, right? I do find it humorous to see the BMWs w/ the "D" oval circle and the Volvos w/ the "S"; we know where that brand came from. In Europe you put the sticker on based on where YOUR car is registered, although it's unnecessary anymore as the license plates have the country abbreviation on them. So the whole thing is outdated. But if someone wants to put a sticker on their car, it's all good by me.

 

Pretty sure the Tacoma was designed in merica by mericans for mericans, hilux is Japanese. Some Tacomas were even made in merica. I have no idea where my fuel and oil comes from though.

 

That’s what’s important

 

That’s the biggest, reddest snorkel I’ve seen yet on a Tacoma. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s pointed in the wrong direction either!

 

You never know how deep that crossing is...

 

The truck might still run, but will the loose nut behind the wheel still be operating?

 

Fingers and knuckles are scratched to hell.
Got the sound deadening installed on the back doors and tailgate.

happy

 

Does noise travel from tailgate to the cab? I was planning on doing the back wall and under rear seats.

 

Put some lights in the bumper. High pucker factor while cutting!

 

Looks good. Did you tap into the reverse lights or are they on their own separate switch?

 

I put them on a switch. They are stupid bright and I don't want to blind folks at night while backing up.

 

I have the electric tail gate unlocker, it was louder than F.
Now it's much more tolerable.
If I didn't have the tail gate mod, I wouldn't bother.

 

Was the Icon leaf pack N easy install? Any feedback would be helpfull.

thanks

 

Super clear!

 

Decided to put some wax on my SCS SR8s.
Had them for almost 5 years and I still like them a lot.

 

It was. I adjusted the springs the day before with option 2, then installed them the next day. I had some extra hands with the install, which helped. Stabilize the truck well so you have no worries. The first side (driver) was a little harder to get the bolts to line-up than the second (passenger). I think the axle moved slightly. Really not bad though.

 

I just installed an Icon pack on option 2. Spray every bolt with some penetrating oil a few hours in advance.

I will say the hardest part, for me, was the drivers side. You can only drop the axle so far on the drivers side because of the brake lines, so lifting the pack into place is a little tricky and getting the center pin lined up required smacking the axle with a hammer.
Passenger side you can drop the axle much lower to have more room to work with.

Going slow it took me about 3.5 hours to install the packs and shocks.

 

Installed a CB and antenna today. Added some soft Velcro to the places where the Mount ($20 off Amazon) and truck could potentially rub. Didn’t impact ground at all, and still was able to get it tuned super easily. Mounted the antenna in the back and kind of like how it gives my truck the RC car vibes.

 

Sweet! Nice to have a watchdog to keep an eye on it.

 

I need this.
