What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sorry you got hurt. I liked crawling like that when I had my Wrangler as well. Fun stuff!

 

First time seeing these. Are these an OEM or aftermarket product? More info please...

 

Sorry it took so long. Life got in the way.

No noticable green tinge. Love the way they look, and definitely help on the road with increased visibility from the yellow.

 

My new to me 2022 did not come with any attachment points for the rails in the bed, so I searched

$20 APPERFiT Mini Tie Downs w/Hooks 4PCS Compatible with 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma, 2007-2022 Toyota Tundra Replaces PT278-00160 PT278-35075 PT785-35051

these and found them on Amazon.

 

all good, part of life experience, and yea I'd love myself some JK or JLs when they come down in price.

 

Nothing crazy yet. Vacuumed the interior, washed the husky liner mats and cleaned the inside windshield

 

Nice! Sorry to hear about your back. That sucks. Hopefully you’re still able to have some fun with the Taco.

 

Thank you for the kind words, and yes, I am in the process of becoming a "minimalist" overlander/weekend camper if that is a thing. I find downsizing made my life easier in terms of every day usages and fuel economy, one benefit is I become more aware of keeping things organized and only carry the essentials since there is not a lot of room to throw everything in the truck any more, its more fun this way i think.

 

Did not notice a screen protector on there.

 

Those are the mini tie downs (the truck comes with the 4 regular tie downs that fit in the side rails). You can get OEM ones or cheaper copies. I use the minis for connecting my small pocket cargo net or for bags.

I think if you're going to go tires that are that big you either better live on the prairie, or be willing to re-gear.

 

I love getting new parts. Installing a softopper this weekend

 

Installed recently Raptor coated (fully cured) stealth bumper. Pretty straightforward.



I did have to bend the cooler line relocation brackets to clear the LT sway bar:



There was another bracket for the same line that attached to the frame rail on the passenger side that had to be removed but nothing was supplied to replace it, so I made my own:

 

these were the 2nd gen oem ones, not made anymore i think but expensive if you can find them , but another company still makes them and cost less, i just searched the oem # on ebay and found some, and sure they are on Amazon too

$37 PT278-35075 TOYOTA Mini Tie-Downs with Hook 05-12 Tacoma and 07-12 Tundra

PT278-35075

 

yes there is

 

Added a sticker overlay blends in well after painting the front grill

 

I installed the FITCAMX today. Love this upgrade. Nice, clean OEM look with a 4K dash cam. Considered the Wolfbox product first, but I'm glad I went this route. All I wanted was the dash cam, didn't need any other features.

I highly recommend it.

 

Today I learned either I suck at vinyl or don’t install vinyl on a windy day. Oh well, still like it!

Side note, don’t judge me for the pollen. Waiting for some rain to clear it off, because as soon as I wash it, it’ll be coated again.

 

Don't sweat the pollen look. Here in the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast states it looks to be really bad this year. I keep my Taco in a garage and it still gets covered. I just dust off the windshield and go.
