What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a Gator tri fold bed cover.

 

I had to cut some slots in the rail anchors to still be able to use them. They wouldn’t clear the rail otherwise.

 

I’m happy with it

 

I've had a busy summer with Uncle Barry. most recently, i put in some bed lights that were super cheap from

$27 LED Bed Light/Lighting Kit for 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 & Newer Toyota Tacoma Bed Type Replacement PT857-35200

amazon. this was my first time messing with electrical (aside from swapping interior bulbs) and it was super easy. I'm using a soft tonneau cover so this is perfect for me.

I finally got some off-road time as well, camping off the grid in northern quebec. or is that called terrestre ?

 

007 tacoma. some adjustments might be needed. the intent is to be a "50' looker", but not be realistic up close. though i might still alter the background to something flat-black and UV-stable so the oem vent slats can't be seen.

 

Installed a Rough Country 3.5" lift yesterday. Took about seven hours as this was my first time doing any type of lift on my own. As you can see, the factor strut bushing was SHOT, it rides so much better now! I was a little worried about how the wheels and tires would look with this lift, but I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Looks like human head floating above your tailgate...lol

 

I agree and depending on your setup speaker wire can make a difference. I’ve done many side by side tests over the years .Some speaker wires will give you more bass and mids and some more highs depending on the gauge and how long the run. In my modest man cave setup I’m running a 10’ pair of Audioquest Rocket 33’s at a little over 900.00 for the pair and worth every penny in my book and to my ears. It’s a heavily debated subject touching on the good ole snake oil debate. But again to my ears and to many setups I’ve done A&B comparisons it makes a difference a long with the gauge of the wire even though they say heavy gauge is for longer runs I’ve noticed more bass with thicker gauge wire in a short run.
My modest setup




Edit: My Audiophile cat agrees she’ll go to the middle of the room front stage and start looking around for all the new different sounds after any upgrades. Then she’ll go to her favorite spot on the couch and say Dad can you hand me the remote I’m really liking these new speaker wires

 

Finally got everything installed. The pita part was mainly the jacknuts. I had so many issues with them. The ones posted above didnt work. I ended up ordering a 25 pack 6m ones from Amazon and they worked. The dome light took a little bit of muscle to push it up. Lol

 

I was worried about that also with my Bak-Flip cover but fortunately the factory clips still fit with no modifications necessary.

 

There is !

 

Great job man ! Looks good to

 

Installed 1320 bed stiffeners and snail armor flat tailgate panel just in time before the sun got to me. Still hot and humid in the shade.

 

I bought the same lights about 8 moths ago right after I got the Taco. Just replaced them yesterday with some from Extrema Terrain because the quit working. Hope you have better luck.

 

Great set up! Sweet looking kitty <3

 

Well it finally happened. Toyota true start battery died, 105 heat in Texas came out of the mall she wouldn’t turn over starter was going and going, luckily I keep cables in the cab. Flagged down a nice gent he got me charged and truck turned over. Got my kid home then headed to autozone , she barely turned over to get to the new battery. Went with Yellow top due to in stock and convenience. Put it In and she turned right over.

 

Thanks Brother ! I enjoy it every day and look forward to hitting that switch after a hard day at work
Don’t let her looks deceive you shes a real Diva lol but has a great ear for music

 

Welcome to TW! Looking good!

 

Pretty cool. Where'd you find the bracket?

 

Why not use the DD harness for backup lights and a anytime backup camera the way switch? That is how I wired up my SSC2's.
