What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Spent the last few days wire wheeling and touching up my new to me Bruteforce fab rear bumper. Today I took the plunge and cut the bedsides up! This bumper is really nice. Need to loosen the bolts and readjust it tomorrow, will probably also reconfigure my leaf springs to accommodate for the extra weight.



Also got spindle gussets and cam pocket reinforcement done from BuiltRight,(the truck shop sd) haven’t had a chance to pull the front wheels off to check them out yet. they look beefy as hell from underneath though

 

Using this as motivation to move the tow hitch higher on my “must install” list

 

theres tacos without a tow hitch?

 

I think he’s referring to the hitch not the hitch receiver, although I could be wrong but I believe all tacos come with a hitch receiver. Again, I could be wrong, not sure about the base SR model

 

Actually the San Antonio plant only makes Tundras and Sequoias. Tacomas are made in Baja (DCSB) and Guanajuato (everything).

 

They make more than just DCSBs there.......

My DCLB is a Baja made truck.

 

I got half of the 60k maintenance done today.
-oil/filter change
-new front brakes/rotors
-new intake air filter
-rear differential fluid change…
I’ll finish the rest this week

 

at least 2 gallons left

 

My ‘17 AC was assembled in San Antonio. My ‘21 DCSB was assembled in Baja.

 

My SR has a hitch, it does have the tow package though.

 

Washed it today! No tire dressing because it looks bad on an OR.

 

There’s no plug for the trailer lights?

 

Made my own tailgate table, used 3/8 HDPE. Took about hour, jigsaw decided to lose a screw after the first cut so it got interesting keeping shit straight.

 

Wow! Great job. Good to have skills.

 

Totally agree

 

Congratulations! Nice looking ride.

 

Yes, my wife’s 2019 DCSB was made in Texas too. I was referring to current (2023) production.

 

Unfortunately yes

 

I finally finished the trash bag enclosure prototype and mounted it. The trash bag is from blue ridge overland. It hooks to loops inside the enclosure, and it rolls up and stays there when not in use. For the trash bag inside, if its full, you can cinch strap it all to the frame of the enclosure or you can remove the trash bag and store it elsewhere while in transit. I usually put our full trash bag either in the back of the bed or in the wire rack I made for firewood/trash.
