What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

that plastic cosmetic stuff is expensive

 

Wait, wait, wait simple skater math says that they overlap each other?

 

That blows. Might need an exception as its a relatively small site. This is what the main page looks like. Full screen shot so you can see the web address.

 

Forced to purchase a new washing machine and was stuck waiting for delivery. You know, the old, "between 0800 & 1730".
Not enough time to do the lift kit or the front bumper and I had these bad boys laying around so I mounted them in some decent spots. Mostly for puddle lights. Gonna' try and tie them into the door switch circuit so they come on when the doors are opened. Maybe when its not so hot outside. I am cooked.
I used this funky tab up front that supports the engine splash guards and found some nice spots in the rear that won't interfere with the suspension reservoirs and will enable me to tuck the wires into the existing wiring harness on the frame. Gonna' tuck the fronts as well.

 

Looks easier than how I mounted mine. I drilled the step bars and mounted them.

 

Just mounted the 60 inch drawer slide I’ve been building for the past few weeks. Still gotta organize for camping/cooking but basically complete!

 

As mentioned earlier iOS doesn’t flag it, only Win11. Not serious about buying, at the research stage.

 

Threw an OEM roof rack on. Now, need to convince my wife to let me get a Portabote, Old Town, or Hobie...

 

I had to take a double take on your truck! Those are some "old school" stripes. This was my 2nd Toyota truck. It's a 1983 4WD. Great truck with a 22R motor and 5 speed. Top speed was about 72 mph with the small vent windows open to "reduce drag" ha ha.

 

I'm pretty 'old school' (not just old). Those trucks ran forever, their main problem up here in snow country was that they couldn't hold their salt. Many drove around for years with wood flatbeds!

 

Tailgate is locked in now.

 

I agree. I was in north Georgia when I bought that truck new. From what I learned was because of import tariffs was they had to be partially assembled in the USA (port of Jacksonville). So when the truck arrived without a bed, the bed was installed. The only rust this truck had on it when I sold it in 2018 was around the seam between the bed and the lower bed side panels. The guy I sold it to wanted to make a rock crawler out of it.

 

Greenlane Offroad - STUMP ALUMINUM FRONT BUMPER

Have not decided on a winch yet. Any suggestions?

 

Can’t answer the winch question but do you know if this bumper is compatible with the TRD Pro skid plate?

 

Don't know.

 

Finally drove it out of the shop and washed it. Needs clay bar and polish now.

 

Mean truck

 

I got some Visual Autowerks Window Vents from marketplace a few weeks ago and they've been nice in the Georgia heat just to keep the truck a little cooler but the wind noise was a bit much at highway speeds so I ended up designing and assembling some finer mesh rings to insert into the openings to reduce wind noise and it's been pretty effective.

 

about time, slacker.

 

I know. Been busy and hot AF
