What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just finished installing my reverse lights. Literally one of the easiest (and cheapest) upgrades so far.

Man that looks good.

 

Looks very nice, which wheels are those?

 

Black Friday deal arrived early! Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro fog lights with backlighting. Used @FBC Harness Solutions' plug and play harness to hook up the amber backlighting. Made the install easy. Highly recommend FBC, Dave makes some awesome stuff. Hardest part was removing the Rigid bezels.

 

Thanks!

 

Appreciate it. They’re Moto Metal M0971. Just blacked out all the badging on them.

 

The only thing I've done to my Tacoma is check the shipping schedule in Veracruz to see if it's ever leaving Mexico.

 

Purchased and mounted underneath a 33 in. spare tire which isn't even flush up top, towards the front end of the tire. As you can see, the front part is sagging lol.

 

As long as it doesn’t hit the rear pumpkin

 

You can use a dead blow to flatten the front horns down slightly and relocate the spare tire hoist rearward. That will allow the tire to rest In the carrier properly. There’s lots of tutorials on the hoist relocation process around here.
Alternatively you can pull the tire rearward as you crank it up. Just be mindful of the proximity to the exhaust on the passenger side

 

Installed my Thunderbolt Solar panel on top of the RTT.

 

Well said my friend, we are in good times when even if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice . Choices are the key word ,if we were limited we wouldn’t be individuals.

 

I found the ship carrying mine to the west coast from Lazero Cerdenos! Truck sat 3 weeks in port and today is halfway up the coast of Baja California!

 

Rush….

 

Alternatively I have seen a post on here where another member relocated the pulley hardware back a couple of inches by drilling a couple of holes for the relocation. Didn’t have to bend the horns and it was away from the exhaust. I’ll see if I can find the post and share it with you.

 

Here is the other option….

This is my plan for getting a 285/70/17 in the OEM spare local.......A perfect time as I had the OEM spare out for a full undercoating process.

Probably not until the spring though, as we now have regular temps in the 20s and 30s now.

 

This is what I meant by relocating the hoist. Thanks for taking the time to link the instructions! I found the forward horns still limited my 285/70 from fully resting in the “cradle”. Only took a couple of whacks and very minor adjustment to fully seat

 

I’m going to try this once I get my fifth wheel and tire. Otherwise I’ll stow it in the bed until I get a high clearance rear bumper with a swing out. Glad I was able to find the post with instructions.
