What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added bed matt: Bed Mat | 5' Bed | Toyota Tacoma (2005-2023) | Rough Country
Tinted windows...25 ceramic.

 

which fix worked to solve the squeak?

 

Not too sure how long ago you lived here but the Goode Company Cantina right where Tamina Rd turns into Research Forest is the best.

A lot is getting developed north of Houston but they have done great of making sure it still is spread out. Even Willis is starting to get the big box grocery stores.

 

They don't have the Blind spot monitor lights.
Just the extra blind spot mirror.

 

They replaced the body/cab mounts. Here is my post in another really good thread on the subject.

Couple random ones this weekend, but I'm all about the details:
Installed my

$165 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile GMRS Radio - 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone - Overland Caravanning Tractors - Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels

Midland MXT275 GMRS radio under the drivers seat, com handle sits near the shifter out of the way. I also installed their 6dB extended antenna to my VRS rail at the end of my tailgate (rooftop was much too tall for my garage)



3D designed and printed some custom quick release mounts for my HF Apache long case on my Prinsu, this way I can easily take it down, pull two pins and off it comes. I also mounted my traction boards up there as well, this was a kit from Amazon with the quick release lockable screw down pins.

 

Definitely a good proof of concept for the case mounts.
But I would think you might want something more robust for holding your case. Maybe having multiple mounts going length wise down the case. Or making them wider and out of metal.
For me I would be worried about sudden side to side movement when driving, hitting a hard bump, emergency braking, and also UV damage.

 

it's printed out of 100% infill CF and the roof rack itself flexes if I pull on the case. I've got various other mounts across my truck that hold plenty of weight with no issues. My bed bars have 3D printed risers that have held up to multiple uses of camping with 500+ lbs on them with my RTT and people in it, also my awning has custom quick release mounts printed out of the same material. To each his own, but this isn't something flimsy, because the last thing I want is something flying off my truck.

 

6 months of "its fine stock" didn't last long
Last week I installed Bilstein 6112, Bilstein B8 uca, Bilstein 5160, and an Icon aal
Today I got an alignment and 265/75/16 wildpeak at4ws

 

Left in 2010 - everything behind that Home Depot was dirt roads, forest and stock tanks. I think there was a rock quarry out near Chateau Woods.

 

I got off crutches today! I am still a gimp, but closer to playing truck. I did do this install...

 

This seems like just what I want for both Luna Taco and the wife's Highlander.
The camera is integrated into the "new" cover that goes in front, and you can just pop in a new SD card, if/as needed?

There are just too many non-driving drivers on the road these days.

 

Yup, already reached out to PNW Tuning for the next time he's in Seattle.

 

TRD logo replaced to match the color wrap on the bottom

 

Easy glovebox inserts.



I like that the match the floor mats.



Also got the TRD Pro Sema wheel vinyls.
Didn't like the red that much..

 

Somebody needs their nails clipped!

 

Yes he does, but boy does he hate it.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

tapped a skid plate bolt hole today... tried installing a knock off TRD plate (I know, I know...) and cross threaded one of the holes. I think this was more user error than crap hardware. quick trip to ACE for a tap and got it re-threaded. decided to put the splash guard back on for now.

fun project three months into owning this truck.

need to file the skid's mounting holes a bit for easier fit then I'll try again.

 

Awesome! Glad to hear you’re back on your feet again.

Seriously, have fun with the truck when it’s time.
