What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sorry bud. Ran out of time to do the tire carrier last night. Going home early from work to do it tonight/this afternoon. I'll post pics.

 

Take my money! Nice.

 

Hubba hubba. Wow. What a great looking truck.

 

Always.

 

Bought an ALL-TOP air compressor with the LCD control panel. Rewired the lcd inside the cab and hard wired the compressor inside the cubby on the bed. I just need to make a bracket for the air fitting.

 

is it worth it?

 

For a mini? Get an ultratech or 3” troodon imo. Or save up and get a deadlock to prove you really hate money

 

I could I just have to find a good reputable shop in western mass.

 

Have you found the regional forums that may know? https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/north-east.38/

 

I had to look that up. $1,100 base price? WTF?

 

A hundo for side steps off a second gen owner on FBM. My screwed up knee is finally bearable to do stuff. Barely. No clue what manu. Are these OEM? Either way I like them better than my Oedros.

 

Sounds like a lost cause, if that much work needs to be done to get to be usable. Definitely unfortunate situation, no matter what. Hope things work out in long run for you.

 

What’s the deal w this guys Bakflip? Torn or??? How’d it get damaged?

 

I knocked out a bunch of little things. The biggest was fixing hood rust made worse by rock chips. It looks like moisture is getting trapped in this low spot inside the hood I could be wrong but the damage was on the inside and outside of the hood lip way outside the damage a rock could cause. I chipped off the flaky paint, sanded to bare metal, and hit it with paint pens. It was super hot and the paint was drying too fast so I will finish when the weather cools downs but here it is for now. To hopefully prevent this from happening again I drilled a weep hole in the lowest spot and hit that with paint. The rust on the passenger side was notably less but had the same inside/outside problem as the driver pictured here.


I fixed several other scuffs and chips around the truck as well.

Next was the Tufskins mudflaps all around and a classic TOYOTA tailgate badge.

Especially if you hide the prices from your wife, cant get mad when the knife was "only" $75 LOL

 

Ahh. That sucks. Mine are painted aluminum panels w no skin. Still not cool of them to not take care of him

 

Can I offer you $80 for it?

 

Installed Redline hood struts. Worth the $100

 

Got a swingout bumper from Outgear Solutions today. Loaded it up and dropped it off for powder coating.
