What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Same here. Neighbor always interested in what I'm doing to the truck.

 

I like the analogy!

 

Been sitting on these since January - new brake lines went in yesterday. Along with some new brake fluid.

 

My neighbor is an engineer with a company truck. He does absolutely zero wrenching on anything he has.

He has seen me work on dozens of vehicles, and now he sees me tinkering at least once a week, usually 2-3+ times a week. Especially with everything I am working on sound wise. He made a comment about a week ago… so I said… “do ya have a minute? Come here…”

We sat in the truck for 30-45 minutes with me serving as DJ and him asking… “do you have this…?”

Yesterday, I way lying under the truck bolting up the new skid plate and just heard him chuckling.

(his son had a 2nd gen AC)

Honestly, if I don’t slow down, I’m gonna need a support group.‍♂️

 

Go "cold turkey".

 

I really need to after this evening...

 

Forgot to share a video of the system in action

I have an extra bracket for the relocation of the screen if anyone wants it, just pay shipping.

 

Leaving my local Home Depot today, I had pleasure to witness yet another accident in the making.

 

What’s the worst thing that could happen, someone rear ends you and launches boards through the rear glass and into your head?

 

Or the lumber scatters and becomes a jump ramp so the following vehicle lands on top of the truck?

 

I just want to make it clear, that’s not me! I would have opened my rear window shoving them against the windshield so I would only have 8 or 10 feet Cantilevered off my tailgate, oh yeah a tiny faded shop rage taped on the end for safety

 

Yeeeee haaaaaa

 

SmartCap installed, so much room for activities! Now need to go cold turkey on mods for at least 6 months.

 

I am taking a poll ... how many believe he will take a break from it? ...

 

Facts ..

I remember when I bought the Tacoma and swore I wouldn’t mod it .

In a little over 3 years …. This

 

To be honest, I still need to install the pop lock and front recovery point I have already in the garage, so no new, not yet purchased mods for 6 months. But a roof rack is in order after that.

 

Added Rokblokz mud flaps, regular size for a bit extra protection as I went with 0 offset wheels and 265/75 R16 AT tires. Also improved tire clearance of front fenders compared to OEM mud flaps.

 

If ARB, there are posts of tips and cautions ... nut-holding rods for awkward placements and other advice.

 

It is and I've been looking at that thread. Good tips there.

 

If I had a dollar for every mod I’ve done since getting my truck home from the dealer a year ago and saying “it’s perfect just the way it is”…
