What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I am now afraid for your Tacoma ...

Friends do not let their friends weld drunk ...

 

ah yes, the best mod: DIRT!

 

Don’t mind the blue wires. Still haven’t figured out where to add the wires for the backlight on the ditch lights. Also not sure if these will be bright enough for ditch lights. But install came out clean

 

I put some DD SS2 pods on for ditch lights with an amber cover, I’d say they’re a little under powered for ditch lights IMO. I wanted something small and these fit that requirement. I’ll use them a bit and see if they end up growing on me a bit.

 

Yea I was thinking add the quads if these don’t work I just had these lights laying around

 

Same here in north central PA, and they also use liquid brine. I also did the initial undercoat, and each fall, blow through 4-5 cans, and a paper suit. Got new tires and an alignment, the tech asked what I sprayed on it, told him FF, and he said he would rather the oily grime than rust on all the fittings and hardware. I let it set up for a few days, with no wet weather driving, then blast down a few dirt roads.. very happy with FF, also use it on my front mount snow blower for the past 8 years, and not a spec of rust..
I will say some of the can nozzles were not the greatest after using partial cans.. even after thorough 5 minute shaking, I’ve had them clog, and seem to loose pressure with 1/3-1/2 can left..

 

Here's my 23. I just did the small Wescott lift and put on 33 inch Wild Peaks. Other than that, not much besides a few interior details to black out some chrome.

 

That looks amazing! What a difference. I like the access cabs a lot.

 

Missing dust boot and e-clip arrived from Icon. Surprisingly good customer service. I was impressed. Once the reservoir brackets get back from my powder coater, its go time. :]

 

Installed a OPT7 Redline Parlux Triple Row LED Tailgate Light Bar a few days ago and it doesn't look to bad, hopefully even Atlanta drivers will actually see it and not run into the back of my car like last time.



Bonus cable management

 

Looks good, I was just looking at this product. Did you get the amber or red? Looks like the red is sold out on their site. Straightforward install?

 

I got the one with the amber turn signals.

Yeah install was easy, I ordered their trailer extension wiring adapter so it was all plug and play except you just need to link up the white reverse light wire from the harness to the white on the light bar itself with the included crips/heat shrink.

Had the oil & filter changed and tire rotation done today. I'm a 5k mi or less oil changer. I've done two in the last 4 months, 6k mi on the ODO now. 1st oil change at 1k mi and now at 6k mi. So the dealership told me today I used up all my free oil changes and have one tire rotation left. Since they use synthetic oil, they are using the Toyota suggested interval of 10k mi. So my 2yr/25k mi free maintenance is now all gone at 4mths/6k mi. Hahahaha!

 

Sweet, thanks mate!

 

Fumoto oil change valve. Motivx oil filter removal tool. Do it yourself without worrying about who might have left a plug open ot forgotten a O-ring on the filter housing.

 

Sold my mid rise and picked up a new cab height topper pretty quick 4 weeks from order date and fresh rubber 235/85/16

 

White size light bar did you get?

 

2 x 24" this one linked below, 2 piece because of tire access hole.

Great idea. Thinks for the info.

 

Looks good! Need to get some holes in there for some added tie downs..........I found the extra ones really can come in handy.
