What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice! I love my hat holders

 

Gave er a bath and installed wheel locks

 

Your truck is sweet! LR looks so good with black wheels and accents. Still my one of my favorite colors. I can’t decide between tan or the LR. My wife’s 4Runner is LR so I’d probably have to lean that direction. Makes sense that I have a white Tacoma

 

Thanks man! I’m glad I debadged it and went with all OEM pro parts, which is what I did with my previous 2019 Tacoma. Next up is a color matched century ultra sport camper shell.

 

Best one WA has is the National Park Plate..

 

Yep you’re correct.

 

Check your state process for creating a new vanity plate. In California, you have to get a certain number of people willing to commit to buying a plate style before the DMV will create it. That's how we got the yellow on black, yellow on blue, the Yosemite, the Tahoe, etc.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of online sites that will make up fake metal ones with what appear to be real alphanumeric sequences. Daily I see white on black. There are also white on black with the script California in red and in blue, and the other day I saw a red on a sandy yellow background on a fully blacked out range rover.

 

Ha! I remember having yellow on black plates on a couple of cars I owned in California. They were called, wait for it... license plates!

 

The new ones are replica plates of that by-gone era you remember. One of the state reps was a vintage car buff and wanted new plates for his vehicle that matched the year of its manufacture, so he introduced legislation to allow for the yellow on black (60s), yellow on blue (70s), and black on yellow (50s). Only the yellow on blue and the yellow on black got enough people to agree to pre-buy; the black on yellow didn't.

 

I got mine for half that:

Nice! Those are aftermarket vs OEM FYI.

 

is it required to take the the side pillar cover off on each side to get these installed?
True Plug and play?

 

Very nice and a great deal! Thanks Brother !!

 

Yes and yes but super easy to do

 

I’ll have to see if there is a similar process here. I know I really like the black and yellow plates that California has too. They’re simple and I like that on a plate.

 

Wide. Check the site.

 

Probebly the same salt brine the state started using here a few years ago. The road are always wet with it. It doesn't dry up like the old salt. And it's just as corosive.

 

Yes, I’m hoping I’ll be fine.

I coated the surface shield on real thick, and with these warm temps I’m hoping it’s creeping around real nice and good like right now.

 

Colorado recently offered a set of retro plate designs. The black ones are showing up EVERYWHERE.

 

as an aside, BC was experimenting with syrup (beet based) instead of brine. Not sure how well it worked though I know most contractors still use brine. MgCl is preferred because it is less harmful to roadside plants but they will use CaCl if that is what the supplier has. They also treat the sand they put on the roads with brine. Brine is also used for dust suppression on dirt roads.
