What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

I have a 2018 access cab and I made a flat platform above the rear seat area so my small dog would have more room when we're traveling but it also works well for an ice chest, groceries, etc. Decent storage underneath for my portable compressor, tool kit, tow strap and winch accessories. The end caps are held in place with some strong magnetic catches. I carpeted it to match. Lifts up and out easily when I need it gone. I'm pretty happy with the end result.

 

Funny you posted that. I just put in a goose gear delete on one side. Plan on doing the other side soon.

 

Yeah, that would be my brother in law. He gave me a hand about halfway through the install.

 

I do the same here in NE Pennsylvania and put on OME 887’s, icon add-a-leaf in back, and then Bilstein 5100’s all round on my 19. Still maintained a nice ride while adding more wheel travel.

 

I'm a fan of the simplicity.

 

Well measured my stock ride Height yesterday since it’s going in next week sometime for a lift and 33’s. Some how ended up in the wash so today I did it again with some floor up and center cap measurements This time it went from my pocket to a fridge Magnet right when I walked in the door lol after a trip to get my Audiophile cat some new toys and checked out a new cat condo I’m considering to try and keep her occupied when I’m trying to sleep! Anyway Really looking forward to this lift and tires ! I’ve had many trucks and always just leveled them so this will be my first lift.

 

How tight is getting into the garage with the lift going to be?

 

Made it. The side ones were made by me and a router. The middle one I designed, and @paranoid56 cut it out for me.

On the SSC2s, I wanted to have the option to turn them on and off with reverse, or anytime with a battery trigger. So I did use a 3 way switch for those, but the switch drives a relay for me. There are going to be more SSC1s on the rack on top of the topper, so the amps start to add up. Those VLED reverse lights are pulling 5.5A as it is, so they can really add up quick. I also have a power distribution in the rear, so relays were easy enough for me. Is all I use stock wiring for is triggers for relay if anything is going to pull more than about a half an amp. Like I said, nothing wrong with the way you did it, but I tend to overdo things
Here is the power block behind the taillight if anyone is curious (another project from Paranoid Fabrications BTW. He made me the mount for this so it uses the stock bolts and gets it around some of the bends in the sheet metal):

That block feeds a 96 position GEP distribution that has 13 relays, 10 diodes, 2 additional fuses, and 2 buss bars. So as you can guess, I have a few other things going on back there already.

 

It’s a crazy optical illusion “I hope” lol.
But standing back and looking when it’s in the garage it looks like I only have inches with the stock height
But I backed the taco out right to we’re the highest point was and measured about 11” from the shark antenna I’m guessing with the 33’s and lift I’ll gain 5”to 6” ? . I think what’s going on is the floor in the garage is higher once you get in versus the driveway on the way in. On paper it looks like I’m good to go but we will see . I measured multiple times and kept coming up with the same clearance but yea in the garage looking back at the garage door frame and the highest point it looks like no way it will fit.
