What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not the OP. This is the one I use:

rumlick Dog Car Seat Cover for Back Seat, Scratchproof Waterproof Car Seat Covers for Dogs Pet, Nonslip Backseat Protector Dog Hammock for Car Trucks SUVs, with Mesh Window

I have a medium sized dog who sits still in the car and it still looks like new (note: it's all quilted nylon; it's not stiff like the pictures imply). Mine also likes to lose her lunch from time-to-time so I got one with sides all around.

If you have a big dog with claws that jumps around a lot you would want something tougher.

 

Might want to look into these Thinskinz door protectors. I have them in mine and like how it prevents my dogs from rolling down the window.

 

I need to order some of these. My Great Dane doesn't scratch or open windows, she just has terrible car anxiety and drools by the gallon leaving a wonderful film on my doors that runs down to the speakers.

 

Haven't seen many in this color. Looking great and keep the pics coming!

 

Our pups seem to enjoy this hammock. Standard size fits perfectly and it has door protection:

We use these seatbelt tethers as well - keeps them in the back in an emergency:

There are also these dedicated door covers some folks here have recommended:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FIWJZRE/?coliid=I1TJPOW0N1CY9R&colid=2UV4IDMTR1NJ0&th=1

Expensive, but custom and really nice:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C11WMYVX/?coliid=I1OMF2BCPEHHY6&colid=2UV4IDMTR1NJ0

 

A thousand billion?

 

Is that an aftermarket add-on, or do Tacomas come with them stock? (If they are stock I have to admit I have never noticed them on my 2021).

 

My teton workshop shifter just came in today! Nice heavy feeling shifter. Craftsmanship feels great!

 

They are add-on PPF. Some dealers add them and make you pay too much.

 

^ This. PPF = Paint Protection Film. Ours has it on the front end, hood, fenders, door handles, door edges and probably places I haven't found. It's still in great shape and worth it IF you have someone local do it other than a Toyota dealer. Most places that do wraps, window tint and such will do it. There are full kits available from places like Xpel, while others do a "free hand" application. Saves a lot of dings and chips if you're concerned about that sort of thing.

 

You should clarify that "free hand" usually doesn't involve a real blade anywhere near the paint but rather knifeless tape:

It's an optional package. PF100, $199.00. I bought my truck off the lot, so it was forced on me.

 

It's easy to do.

I see what you did there….

 

Lunar Rock letters! I was way too excited about this one.

 

Here it is! Completed the build (for now…) with tires and wheels mounted this morning.

BFG AT3 285/75/r16
Method 703 bead grip

Also installed spc UCA’s the other day but didn’t post because I was too tired bending the sheet metal.

 

The door skins help with hair control and messing with the windows, also get the childproof seat belt covers.. mine figured it out 3x on their first trip to the store.
I open all hatches and use my leaf vac every time they ride.. 80 & 60lb Aussholes
These are Knines covers, family owned outa Missouri I believe.

 

Lol I'm a stickler too for not having any dog hair in my truck..must vacuum it like 3 X a week

 

I went with the ThinSkinz on the doors. I really like how they look stock and completely cover the top of the door, and the window switches.

Any good portable, keep in the truck seat vaccums?
