What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I didn’t feel like moving once I started, and my buddy didn't want me driving on his grass

 

Put on a hat and heels

 

Good looking truck right there! What are you going to do with the build? RTT?

 

being an official toyota part doesn't matter in the slightest.
All the tacoma frames are built the same. This information is readily available to whoever is making after market parts.
The angles don't change. The frames don't change.
The manufacturer knows every angle, length, hole. it's not "guess work".

 

Just a wash today. Guess I did pop out the rear bumper cap that decided to give a lonely spruce a kiss on the trail....

 

what i was thinking. could be a set for 2nd gen instead of 3rd gen.
first thing to do is double check the invoice and what you [they] ordered.

 

I sent them a message. The chat bot asked for my best contact email address. So I guess they will contact me tomorrow during their business hours.

 

never work outside without sun cover.
this is my typical setup

but 100% sunsmart of having an awning... now i need a roof rack for one.

 

Here is the tab on the Cali raised sliders I have. Parts baggie as a reference to 90.

 

Not quite related to this thread, but this is just a little crazy not to mention. I have seen several 2023 Sports for sale above 48K here in Colorado. Nothing special about them. And I saw a Off Road Double Cab going for over 53K. The only thing special about it was the TRD lift kit. Finally, there was a TRD Pro going for less than 51K.

And to make sure to stay with this thread's focus, I got the OTT (Light/Mild). So far I Love it.

 

You guys are making me feel so guilty I turned up the right side a/c in my garage to 74°. Yes just running 1 a/c today.

 

An official part would be made by Toyota for Toyota. Where as Cali-raised is neither and manufactures items for multiple brands inherently incorporating more ways to fuck it up.

 

Haha, I'm just thankful to have a place to work on my truck (my apartment frowns upon it lol). Normally I would have been working in his garage, but he was building some cabinets in there.

so we're setting up a build party at your place? I can drive down just to rebuild my LCAs and probably do a wheel hub or something. Also have a leak in my Cooper ST Maxxes, we can use your nice flat (probably) concrete floor to pop a bead and then clean the rim. We'll use starter fluid to pop it back in to make it exciting

 

Please read and try to understand.

Good. Now go back and read it again.

 

Thanks. I did read it again and actually again. I realize that they have no excuse and should have qc going on but just go ahead and read the last part of my post.

 

Sorry. I am retired so my shop is like my vacation home. 100 amp power with separate meter, weight room and heavy bag upstairs, WiFi, internet, cable, 600 watt surround system, 2 tv's, overhead heat and a/c in the repair bay and the same in the machine shop bay. I do my share of work outside in the driveway. I try not to stain the carpet with oil, antifreeze and axle grease.

 

Ps. They will ask if a professional mechanic attempted the install.

 

Prices just suck. Best deal I have seen lately (today actually) is a garage kept 2015 Sport 4 x 4 with 26k miles for $27k. That price doesn't look so bad after what you posted.
