What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any recommendations on some metal pedal covers like the ones on the
New 4th Gen Tacoma ?

I have a 6 speed. Also , is any one else excited for new 4th Gen inspired mods for our 3rd gens ????!!!

 

I’m not sure of any pedal covers but I’m not going to have anything to do with the 4th gen. That’s exactly why I bought my 2022 lol

 

I'm sorry I forgot to take a pic fully loaded at home, but here is a pic of my truck tonight tucked away in the itasca woods near the rally! Handles the weight so much better being on option 3, not hitting the bump stops anymore, and is still very smooth riding the washboardy forest roads

 

Next mod is a snorkel

 

Just flipped 20K on the 2021.

 

I got the raised letters from Tufskinz (black/silver flag pattern) and like the contrast with the flat tailgate. The Tufskinz are pricier but they have been around for awhile and claim they should last the life of the vehicle (do they know how long a Taco can last???). Just be sure to get any coatings off the paint before putting them on. Also use the "wet" method. Super easy.

 

Nice. Did you drive down to Loveland and pick them up yourself at the factory? I think they have more robots than employees!
Looking at your install I wish I had gotten the 20 degree instead for myself too.

 

Probably aftermarket; the recent OR models only have the V6 on the tailgate.

 

Learned that I swapped the wrong motor in, so gotta pull it and buy/swap the right motor in lol. (Vaccume pump vs non vaccume pump motor, different cam.) Ps if anyone needs a good vaccume pump 3.5l, I'll have one for sale here soon.

 

Threw some spots underneath, maybe two more in the front?

 

Oooh more lights!
Don't give me anymore ideas. haha

 

HELL YEAH! Looks great man!

 

Went to the grocery store this morning and this pulled in at the same time

 

Nope, the difference is between a crawl control truck with an electric brake booster, and non crawl control trucks haha.

 

Nice. I'm 300 miles away from 20k myself. Still feels like its a brand new truck.

 

Yup! They have a different cam setup. Vaccum pump motors have a "hollow" cam, electric booster motors have a "solid" cam.

 

Don't want to rain on your parade, but as an engineer, I would like to point out that this design does almost nothing to stiffen the bed sides. The flat horizontal piece has almost no strength at all. It needs a vertical leg to give it some strength. The two little triangular gussets in the corner are the only things providing resistance to your sidewalls spreading.
The Total Chaos design, in my opinion is the best one I have seen, and is really the only one that has the required strength.
