What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OK, I’m addicted to proper lighting….

Morimoto headlights
Meso tail lights
VLed back up and marker
Morimoto 4bangr fogs
Cali Raised light bar up top
Rough country bar on the winch bumper
Rough Country 2” spectrum flush mounts on the Taco Garage rack, they are BRIGHT

I figured today would be a good day to put my ear buds in, and listen to the Shawn Ryan show while working on the lighting. Spent most of the day thinking about all the brothers I’ve lost over my 22 years in service. I think they would like to know that they are all still in our thoughts on this day.

 

where did you get the bus bracket?

 

Installed my Cali Raised CAT shield and the A/C drip mod. Good things done!

 

Some people. (Not me of course) are
Color blind

Great product and support.

 

Thanks! I had the two M8 rings leftover after buying a pack of ten for the inside of my SmartCap and they fit the factory holes perfectly so I figured why not?

 

Finally got my Uptop Overland Alpha rack assembled and installed. Have some work to do to get the weather stripping to sit flush now, even after following instructions, but otherwise worked out great.

 

Yes! It matches almost identical. Worked for me to hide some shipping damage.

 

Don't forget to shine those tires.

 

What Logo does that represent? Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce and cheese?

I got the basket cleaned up with some steel wool and a wire bit on my Dremel. Painted it satin black and put it back on the truck. Turned out pretty good and we used it this past weekend to haul our trash back from camp. The paper towel holder is from Expedition Essentials and is ... essential!

 

Got bored yesterday morning and was staring at the hood of the Tacoma and had some leftover vinyl and decided to wrap the hood scoop.

 

I took advantage of RCI Off-Road's sale and ordered a roof rack. I'm super stoked! I've been wanting one for awhile now. Now to impatiently wait for it to arrive..

 

Excepting Alice

 

Replaced shocks on my 2023 Trail Edition with Bilstein 6112 (9/7 setting) and 5160. Very pleased with the results.

 

Hello,
I have a Bak Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover, do they make any Bars that can be used with a rolling Tonneau Cover so that i can put a rack on the back of my Tacoma, and install an awning on it or either my future roof rack, id like to be able to add a kayak holder up there as well., any recommendations?

Billie Bars told me to send them pictures of the bed set up for my present cover., but i wanted other opinions

 

Routine oil change this morning. It has become muscle memory and can get it done in <45 minutes now, getting up and down off the ground less than 10 times. I consider that a big win, since the first time I changed it on this truck it took me ~2hrs (while following a video) and I got up and down a solid 30 times

Just for fun, here is a pic of a loaner that I got to drive for MDW. Its a 2014 Mclaren C12. Has a 3.8L TT V8 with built turbos running at 21psi; the owner (family friend) claims 900hp+, (makes low 600s stock) I believe it gets every bit of 700whp but idk about 900. Regardless, compared to my 3rd gen taco it feels like a spaceship. My favorite part about the car is that it has over 60,000 miles. Its nice to see a supercar like this actually get used instead of spending its life under a tarp in a garage.
