What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah 100% but I don’t think the owner knows

 

Oof I didn’t see his vehicle description haha

 

Where do you get your vinyl, for your projects? I’ve got some Oracal 951 samples on the way for color match. What’s the difference/advantage with the Oramask?

 

Probably the opposite of most… Ditched the DD SS3 Pro fogs and Pro SSC2 ditch lights and went with the Elite Series for a cleaner look.

Before:



After:

 

Had a transmission flush done today.

And I guess this is on the menu for tomorrow.

 

It was not leaking,but needed snugged up after a few start ups. I checked it after I remembered a post about it. Just like the fiber washers from olden times.lol

 

I used "Oramask" as a term incorrectly, as I normally work with Oramask 810 in my side business, used mainly for cutting out stencil masks for painting.

If talking about difference between the average stuff you get from say Hobby Lobby or Micheals VS. Oracal, it's mainly durability and longevity.

Between Oracal 831, 851 and 951:
- 831 is awesome for interior craft projects especially if there is ANY chance you ever want to remove it, but it's not permanent and not for outdoor use.

- 851 is a cost effective permanent indoor/outdoor vinyl that will easily last more than 5 years. It's thicker than 951 at 3 mil or 4 mil depending on the type of 851 you get but is very workable. It's not the top of the line but if you have a large project it can be a great way to cover a lot. I've used it for the cowl stripe on my JKRU before I sold it, and it survived 5 years of hard core off roading without any of it coming off.

-951 is awesome stuff. It's also a permanent indoor/outdoor vinyl, but with higher longevity.
Its a bit thinner than the above two at 2 mil , but the adhesive is much more potent and because it's a bit thinner, it tends to be more flexible and able to go around compound curves.
The main disadvantage is it's a bit harder to lay down with larger graphics, requires more spray fluid under it during application & its almost always more expensive.

 

Nice work! Welcome to TW!

 

Frankensteined two busted sets of 2.5 icons into these. Added solo motorsports uca’s, ome leafs, and extended travel 2.0’s in the rear. Need bump stops still and an alignment but had these parts sitting for too long. Felt good to get them installed.

 

Truck looks awesome! Diggin the wrap.

I see in the photos that your truck is a Sport, but your vehicle description says Off-road. Just curious, do you have two tacos?

 

Can totally relate even though I don’t have a garage. Do this at the cabin instead.

 

Did you ever think about writing math word problems for schools? You would be great at it. LOL.

 

Nope. That right there was an accident. Lol
Thanks for noticing

 

Installed the Garmin mini 2 dash cam today. Had a hell of a time getting it paired to the phone. After the third or fourth time it finally worked and after driving around to test it out it seems good. Also installed the Flatirons attic net. It turned out really nice in conjunction with the MESO hexrack that I had in there already. Was a quick install and looks like it is going to work great. Lastly install the Desert Does It MMP under the passenger seat. It fit with the seat jackers and holds the Noco battery jumper and a flashlight. The wife says that it does in crotch on her leg room at all.

Not the hardest of mods, but happy with all of them.

 

Nice! I just did the same today, Sport chrome to Pros

 

Same, same. The black on/in the Pros looks SO much better than the chrome ladened ones that came on my OR. They also look awesome with Quicksand!

 

For sure! I'm planning several more black accents, including a bumper like that.

I also got the Vleds Vtails conversion kit (https://www.vleds.com/3g-tacoma-vt-tail-light-conversion.html). Much better brake and reverse lights, and turn signal. I haven't seen any aftermarket tail lights i liked, but I really like this kit paired with the pros!

 

part number for the tail lamps?

 

My Sport doesn't have all that chrome in the tails..
I thought about changing them, then decided I could live with them. Did the chrome come in 2020 or just double cabs? Just curious?

 

yes, chrome started appearing in 2020+ models.
