What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Swept the driveway because the tires were picking up sand I believe.

 

Got both installed.

 

Hahahahahaha

 

Replaced the tailgate lock actuator.

 

Looks good.

side bar….. I haven’t been to Sidewalk Cafe in years. Good food there.

 

Ohhhhhh nice! LRT?

 

Got a lot done on the Taco today. Made some custom graphics.

Added some new Kicker door speakers.


And finally removed the headrest from back window.

 

It works with that bumper!

project: ultimate daily driver.
It's taking shape quite nicely.

 

Hi all,
I get it, this isn't what I DID to my tacoma today. It's what I WANTED to do to my tacoma today. I shipped my 3rd gen to the US Virgin Islands nearly 2 years ago. Im running Icon adj. coilovers that are basically maxed to 3in. in tandem with the Icon UCAs. I didn't bring my alignment specs with me to the island and need to get it adjusted before shipping back to Miami then driving all the way to Colorado. Haven't been on TW in awhile and wasn't sure where to post this. Any help with alignment specs true to my suspension would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Taco Bros!

 

For my trip to Toronto last month...DM & Niagra was awesome!

 

Of course I had to toss a gas cap holder on. The seller had no plain black ones made up- so I had to add my own flare to it.

 

I got a 2" OME lift, heres a spec for you to consider. Basically i think its stock alignment numbers.

 

Bed tent is pretty cool and super easy to setup up.

 

light bar install. took me all day. shoiulda been an hour. 3 home depot trips, one harbor freight trip. ridiculous. shits dope though.

 

I did my first oil change at 4600ish.

Pop off the factory "armor" and got to admire my first ever off-road wound.




I had relocated the AC condensate drain before and though I was slick letting it drain to this aluminum skid plate, not realizing it was now trapping liquid between the factory skids and frame - I had thought it factory, but I guess it was a dealer add-on I wasn't told about. I'm in Houston where cat theft has been an issue so ok, thanks dealer I guess? Relocated the drain again.




And then I went to install a Stahlbus oil pan drain and snapped the threads off in the pan which was a nice bit of excitement. Just by hand too, and I not a big guy. This thing was brittle like a 1/4-20 tap.



Didn't get a picture, but my dog decided she wanted to rest her head against the tires when I put the truck up on jacks. Safety non-compliance write-up, get inside girl.

 

Your pics aren’t working. This is the easiest way to add pics.

 

Yeah, fixed. I was trying to be lazy and leave the pic in Google Drive instead of pulling to my pc.

 

I got tired of positioning my shop light under the hood and added an LED strip light. I needed a place to mount the switch so I designed and printed this with my FreeCAD software and Prusa MK3S 3D printer.



The mount snaps in to existing holes in the body and fits a waterproof

$12 APIELE Waterproof Round Rocker Toggle Switch 20CM Pre-Wired 2 Position DC 12V 20A ON-Off with LED Light SPST 3 Pins 5Pcs KCD1-8-101NW-Wired (Red)

Apiele switch.




I used some left over LED strip lights I had from the ARE truck cap install I did.






Like my Redline Tuning 21-27015-02 Hood QuickLIFT, I wish I had done this from the get go. In fact, I've seen so many "what mod should I do first?" threads over the years. I need to reply on those. This is such a time saver...

I happened to have everything I needed to do this project on hand. But if you don't I'd recommend
this kit from Matt Gecko.
