What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can just feel the love coming from the natives in this pic lol

 

Which lights did you go with?

 

Shout out to Anh Nguyen for his help today with a couple of projects that have been long over due ... Finally got the Prinsu rack on and after a couple missteps and more cutting than expected the recovery bar installed. Topped it off with a tune by Tacoslayer310

 

Couple hours of garage twister today replacing the radiator bushings. Was tougher than anticipated removing the stock/worn bushings.
If I were to do it again, I would have taken an oscillating tool to the top bushings for removal. The new energy suspension bushings go in easy though.

drivers side:

Passenger side:


Next, sprayed down the squeaking leaf springs with some PB blaster.

 

Does anyone know what type of spray is used to seal these seams? Is there a "consumer" grade equivalent?

 

My '42 Studebaker p-up had left hand threads on driver side lug nuts. Theory was, they'd tighten when the wheels-turned-going-forward. Must not have ever proved itself because they sure didn't stick around.

ALL of the rear ones tie into the floor & side of the bed.
You wouldn't be able to open the tailgate if you mounted them like the front ones are mounted.

 

Automotive seam sealer; many available

 

I went with the flush mount MicTuning.

Most of the ones I found were brush-on or caulk-style tubes. I found SEM, but the 'sprayable' is still in a caulk tube. Not sure how to spray it. Do you know of any "spray can" type products that would match the factory sealer?

 

No, but I've seen goonzsquad on YouTube use the tubes with a caulking gun several times. I assume it works just fine.

 

any reason you put the big puck on the bottom? I did at first and swapped it after a week or so. I think the big one is supposed to be on top. The red looks KILLER

also the stock bottle jack fits in there perfectly to give you enough room to pull the old bushings and put in the new, then again if you have a viper cut it’s super easy access

 

Good day today. Met up with @KrnTaco08 and scored some BNIB fend-x liners then hit up @TWTaco for an update to KDMAX 9.0 pro. Beyond pleased and glad this forum hosts some good dudes. Be easy y’all

 

This might be my new favorite sticker

 

Installed a DD SSC1 hitch mount pod. Trying it out to see if it sheds enough light for my dark driveway. I’d like to turn off the red running light, though.

 

So a few days ago I received my order from Tacoma Beasts which was a pair of Spotter Mirrors and when I took it out the driver side mirror from the packaging I noticed that it had chips and a few cracks going through it so I emailed Tacoma Beasts and they just got back to me about filing a claim through their "Extend Shipping Protection" so this might be a trip of a process after seeing some other vendor reviews regarding Tacoma Beasts record here. I'll update on what happens as this process goes on.

 

Two things in my mailbox: Motivx filter wrench and drain tube (I have a funnel), the bill from Discover for engine-skid/transmission-skid/cat-guards/Fumoto/Motivx/exhaust-reroute. The bill weighs more than the RCI products combined.

I have taken a solemn oath to never mod the truck again.

 

Damn that sucks. I bought a pair of mirrors on aliexpress all the way from china and it got to me safely

 

Easier said than done.
