What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, idk if it is a placebo effect, but personally (having had both white and yellow fogs) I feel like yellow helps me see better. I also have terrible night vision though

 

I was given a choice of 3 trucks. All ORs, All DCSB, All Lunar Rock. All identical. I said I'd take the first to arrive and they said they were all coming the same day. So I let them choose
Since I wanted the OR DCSB in either Lunar Rock or Blue, I was pretty happy. I did hope for the tech package but not available. So they discounted the price by 2K for me (maybe end of the run of '22s?). It all worked out.

 

I love the hooks on the TacoNets cargo net. They twist right into the side rails wherever you want them. Super easy. Great customer service from them too (I somehow ended up w/ a non Tacoma net (partly my fault), so they sent me the clips right away).

 

did you have to put anything on to prevent the leaking issue?

 

Did you not remove the clothing hooks and handles?

 

Years ago, I heard Huey say "It's hip to be square"

 

For sure I liked that to when I watched a couple of reviews on YT. I guess I should open the bag and make sure it’s all there and for my truck instead of waiting until I need it and realize it’s the wrong one. Thanks for the heads up

Finally got around to taking some good pics today after mods last month. 2" lift last month, 6112 up front with 5160 in the back and a new OME heavy duty dakar pack. 255/75/17 KO2 on 17" SCS Blaze10. So far so good and I can't believe the difference in handling and capability off-road.

On the list next is a VIAIR 300P compressor to replace my shitty $60 Amazon one that takes 30 minutes to get 4 tires from 20 PSI to 38 PSI, a tune (likely KDMAX) which I'm confident will help the truck hold higher gears at faster highway speeds which it is struggling with after the 32s, a Hi-Lift jack, recovery boards, and a pop&lock remote tailgate lock. Oh and I need to get my shell to fully seal. Doesn't rain much here in Tahoe but when it does or when we get wet snow it leaks so bad. Luckily I typically just camp in my trailer and everything in the drawer stays fully dry.

Also throwing in a couple photos of my bed setup which I don't think I've shared before... I've had that installed for 2 years now and it's bulletproof. I love it.

 

Removed my old parking pass and used my roomates vodka to get the adhesive off. Works well. don’t tell him about the vodka

update: my truck now smells like Tito’s

 

Are you planning on mounting the compressor to your truck? I have a 450p and after reading about it further it’s not recommended to be mounted on the exterior due to water/dust intrusion and the filter not being able to handle it. Just something to think about…I didn’t think to look before I purchased. Side note, I do love the compressor, it’s very quiet and fast.

 

Nope, not gonna mount it.

 

Mine resides behind the back seat passenger side. It’s not hard mounted and everything fits nicely back there.

 

I haven’t, yet. The new brake light has a foam gasket. But it isn’t flush with the outer edge of the light so I may lay a bead of some sealant across the top portion.

 

I only removed the clothing hooks I left the handles and upper corner trim pieces in place. Removing the clothing hooks was the minimum needed to get access. And that was still tight.

 

Dammmmn! Looks amazing. I’m actually doing this install next weekend. Any tips? Was it trulynplug and play? TIA

 

Far Out!!!

 

That seems like something someone would yell out while exercising…
