What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ok thanks, I figured they came on with the deck light/squid launcher switch

 

Believe @mysubiewasalemon was looking for a oil pan a while back for a project if trashing old one…

 

I need one from the transmission, thanks tho

 

Cleaned the engine, washed the truck and installed Oem roof rack.

 

Those Oem roof racks look good. Problem for me is I can't make up a reason why I need one!

 

I needed one because I just purchased a Kayak and needed a place to carry it while towing a trailer. I love the looks also.

 

Got my Thinskinz back door covers today. Now my German Shorthaired Pointer and corgi can’t roll down the windows all Willy nilly.


And decided to try and wrap my fender flares with multicam style black wrap. Rear fender turned out better than the front fender. Only had enough wrap for two maybe three. Just did one side to see how it looks. Did it in the 12 o clock sun of Colorado so I’m beat. Probably will redo the front fender as there’s some notable creases where the flare meets the body.


Good enough for government work for now.

 

Here’s the link for the ThinSkinz mentioned above: https://thinskinz.com/products/thinskinz-tacoma

very interesting, I had to order a set.

 

Cool. If it uses the OEM bed light/squid launcher switch to the left of the steering wheel then I'm GTG, as I already have the switch on the left of the dash, just need the lights in the bed.

 

I finally had a chance to install OEM led headlights that I purchased in November after getting the harness through Offer Up the other day, which a couple of forum members @Puppypunter @daveeasa put together so SR5 can run them.

 

Let's see them.... Installed.. stop teasing

 

Looks good! I hate to admit it, but I just got around to installing mine (or watching my friend install them to be more accurate) Friday. I bought them from a Presidents day sale... in 2022

Now, I just need to wait until I can drive again to aim them (after I finish putting everything back together still)

 

Wow, the cost on these is very reasonable!

 

Every automotive forum (and others) I'm on and have been on for years are a lot like this one (only the members here are the best of course ). There are usually a core bunch that post regularly about important and not so important topics, some passing along their expert and valuable knowledge, a few trolls and others that only drop by now-and-then. Newbies participate a lot initially and then a squirrel or something shiny grabs their attention. Some show up, ask a question and then when they get an answer ghost those that made the effort to help. That's life. A majority are great folks from all walks of life and backgrounds.

Totally agree that social media of almost any sort is a time-waster and really a dumpster fire these days... filled with misinformation and nonsense. To be avoided at all costs in my book. Good info and good camaraderie can more often be found on these kinds of forums.

Hang in there, keep positing and good things will come.

Thank you for your service BTW!

 

dude that’s a tough spot, couldn’t even winch out if you wanted too unless there is a tree I don’t see. Glad your truck didn’t roll, how much to recover and were you driving alone? Another truck would have been super helpful in this situation I think.

 

Installed the puddle lights and the pro lights today.

 

That 3rd pic appears to be a precarious position. It looks like there's a jack handle near the gas cap on the uphill side of the truck.

 

Nice job man !! Looks really good

 

I can confirm this, because i JUST changed the bed lights they come on when you unlock and lock the truck & by using this rocker switch

 

That camo works so good almost couldn’t find the truck
J/k I like it !!
