What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

Yep
What he said

Yep. What he said.

Lessons learned:
Do NOT use an impact gun to reinstall the T30 screws.
Make sure the new rails are pushed all the way forward and the tailgate closes before tightening the screws.
There's a diagram on the cover that shows how to install the mounting bolts. Look at it before you f it up two or three times.
If you don't have help to hold the bolts while you're playing contortionist in the bed, put a wooden block on top of the bolts and stack about 25 lbs on top. Then you can tighten the nuts.
Oh yeah, before you tighten those bolts, make sure the tailgate closes again.

All fairly obvious things, unless like me, you're inclined to turn a on hour project into four hours.

 

Awesome color

 

Thank you. Somehow I missed that.

 

Yep, havnt put them in yet since I have COVID and felt like shit, but will probably today

 

Thank you! The pictures don’t even come close to the look in real life!

 

Sorry you are sick. I thought covid was gone.

 

Well... I can't do nuttin' to her, since she's still in parts in Baja.

With my 2016, I have a light bar in the grill. But there's no room for that in my to-be-built Taco, so I bought a set of Cali Raised ditch lights. With my 2016, I wired it so the switch needed to be activated, and the brights were on. I did that so when I had oncoming headlights, I could control the light bar with the bright lever. Easy-peasy. No feeling around for the switch.

So, I just rewired the Cali wiring harness to duplicate that. It's simple. Here's the diagram if someone is curious.





I'll use a fuse tap to gain access to the high beams in the fuse box.

 

yeah I did too, then wife got it last week and I had it a few days later

got the floor liners in they look good, only thing is they don’t have the nameplate like the 3rd gen ones do. These have it molded in

 

Looks nice . I've had these on my 3rd gen for over 3 years now and they have held up great.

 

I am, but I'll wait and see if the Cali ditch lights are enough. I live in the middle of elk country and really appreciate lighting things up. Thanks.

 

Go silver. Shoot me.

 

I just picked up my new Tacoma Sport 4x4 and the first thing i did was i removed that front spoiler thing (still on in photo at dealership)

 

Thank you

 

No problemo, much better!!

 

I didn't do it (yet), but my friend applied deck grip tape to his 24 Sport's Go Rhino step boards. He didn't like the looks or cost of the upgraded bedliner steps, so he cut out sections of grip tape where his boot will be placed on ingress/egress (obviously not covering his step's cutouts).

Lasts forever, easily replaced/refreshed, about $9 for a 10x36 sheet, blends into the step.

 

Drive down to ft de soto and take some pics in the sun so we can see that orange pop!

 

That’s only 10 minutes away from me! I didn’t realize the paint had a sparkle to it until I picked it up. It looks really good

 

Throwback bedside decals

 

Installed some seat spacers on the back of the driver seat. I don't have power seats and I find the front of the seat too high and cuts circulation in my legs, the joys of getting older.

Kit comes with 4 spacers, 2 thicker and 2 thinner. Install one, the other or both depending on the angle you want. Just the thicker one works best for me. Will do the passenger side next, will try just the thinner ones, if sufficient, I just need 2 new bolts. Otherwise, I'll order a new kit.

 

Cool decal. Where did you buy it?

Also, do you have other photos with the truck on a level surface? Thanks
