    First wash and wax and the first car/truck that was new I didn’t need to clay bar first. It was smooth as a babies butt lol straight from the dealer. I think since it was made in June and I bought it only a day or so after the dealer got it so wasn’t laying in the sun baking and getting water spotted. Made the first wax easy peasy just put a light coat of meguiars Ultimate wax after steam cleaning the under carriage and then washing the truck with chemical guys Hydrosuds SI02 Ceramic Car Wash Soap. Came out really nice and made the silver really pop but hard to see in the photos.

    Where’s the “What did you do WITH your Gen 3 today?” thread?

    I took the Diamondback off and hauled a Bowflex I bought for a killer deal

    Tuffskins RED letters for the tailgate handle TOYOTA and the glovebox TACOMA, Hellwig installed and it truely improves ride quality. No shaking when going through Boston's crappy pothole infested roads, a much tighter road feel on the highway. Only took about 90 minutes from start to finish...

    I know... worthless without pictures... will post on Sunday...

    RCI rock sliders engine/trans/transfer case, differential and A-arm skids. ARB twin-compressor, rear air locker. Bilstein 6112/5160 with Icon RXT Leaf Packs. UpTop Overland Bedrack.
    I have my compressor in the same place. I found it annoying having the air chuck at the compressor location as the air hose would come into contact with the hood prop. So I plumbed it to the front, just behind the grill.

    I put ditch lights on my ditch lights…not sure how I feel about it, so share opinions if you’d like.

    Baja Designs S2 Sports (spot/flood combo) with Baja Designs S1s (Flood) on the side of the S2 brackets. Stole the idea from Baja Designs IG post of someone doing it…looked better on their rig I think.

    I think I prefer how I have historically ran my last three rigs; with just S1s for ditch lights.
