What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

To look sweet whilst mall crawling and generally being a pavement princess! The whole "the truck is not for hauling things!" is a long-running gag intra-family (going on about 25 years now). I actually have no issues throwing stuff in the bed. It's the reason I bought a truck, after all.

 

You got a 2019, i would guess, yes. Not sure what your driving day to day is like, but I'm inclined to believe you would notice the difference. It was quite an easy job, and marking the camber adjustment bolt things made reassembly easy to return to previously aligned setting.

 

Looks great. Really loving that shell too ... any details on it? I dig the old school vibes. thx

 

It’s a Lakeland 900 cap. The big side windows are really handy, but they aren’t completely waterproof. It was well under 2k installed with LED lights and all the opening windows as options. I’m really happy with it for the price. I want the truck to end up looking like 2023/1979 hybrid. So far so good!

 

No rubbing at full or partial turn on level ground!

285/75/16 Toyo Open Country RT Trail, SCS F5 16x8 0mm offset 4.5" backspacing, OME 2-3 inch lift heavy front and back, JBA High Caster UCAs, Dirt King Performance LCAs

 

What’s the tube you got with the mt Washington sticker?

 

Installed tailgate stamp and hood stamp vinyl from BeyondWraps.

What a pain in the butt.

 

I finally hooked up the fog lights, full @Diode Dynamics set of SSC2 Pro Combo near the skid plate, SSC2 Pro Combo for oem look behind the Rigid bezel (fabricated the Rigid fog housing to accommodate the SSC2's), C3 Pros Combo piggiebacked by C1 Flood Pros. I tied it all together with the Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Panel kit, and Runnin 4 Tacos switch plate. I just have to hook up the back lights on the SSC2's to go along with the rest of the set. Next are the @Diode Dynamics Rock Lights RGBW. This nodding is like getting tattoos, addictive indeed!

 

"Close Encounters of the Tacoma Kind"

 

I like your setup, very cleanly done!

 

Lmao, my girlfriend said the same thing! This is my fourth Taco and the first to mod anything close to this. My favorite color and ride all in one. I might have to add some aliens now, but I was leaving more towards Broly from DBZ Super.

 

I got a screen protector and a flag sunscreen "installed" yesterday. There was a big bubble at the bottom where the display has a slight break yesterday, no matter how many times I pressed it out. This morning, much better.

I have a black exhaust beauty ring to put on, and a second set of seat covers for passenger in Luna and wife's Highlander, but wife keeps giving me Honey-does that get in the way of Luna-does

 

No, I went #9/#7 for 1.4"

 

Thank you!

 

It's a PVC tube with a

$69 Buyers Products CC600 PVC Conduit Carrier Kit, 6" Diameter, Mounting Hardware Included, Spring-Loaded Latch, Weather-Resistant Door Gasket

conduit carrier kit that I use to store tent poles, stakes, longer antenna, hiking poles, and other awkwardly long and thin items. I used a thinner PVC tube that I had lying around and riveted a plastic backstop to the pole to pull out anything that slides too far back.

 

New Third Gen RSI SmartCap Evo Sport installed by Mike's Custom Toys. Love it so much.

 

Damn, that looks good!

 

So, what is the verdict? Little better, much better, worth the change?

 

Yes its better, worth it imo

 

Finally got my truck back after 3 weeks. So its got a new Centerforce clutch kit. New fluids in the diffs, t-case, and transmission too.

Also installed a Powertank mount for an 11lb propane tank.



And I changed out my winch hook setup. Switched completely over to non-metal. Yankum Tow Points fairlead.
