What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! Next up is the RTT portion. I'm a little nervous for that one, lots of sewing that I don't know anything about.

 

Blacked out warning labels and added some Mario themed stickers to my blank switches

 

Remounted the WeBoost inside the cap, yes I know not the best design and will end up back on the roof once I figure out the roof rack situation. Just didn't want it sitting on the shelf for several months until that happens . Is it effective? In field test mode no WeBoost -115dBm, WeBoost on with widows closed -107dBm and windows open -96dBm. According to chatGPT a 10 -20 point improvement in dBm can be the difference in making a call or not. I'll take it for now.


No WeBoost



WeBoost with windows closed



Windows open

 

lol, went from cold air in to hot air in

 

alot of these on ebay .....you just have to get the length bolt you need

 

I know this isn’t something I did to my 3rd gen, it was parked at my work. If you chrome plate a turd it’s still just a shiny piece of shit.

 

What is going on here? Looks like a case of mistaken identity mixed with some crystal meth use

 

There is also this option for not more cost than the Cali Raised: Toyota Utility Track T-Nut (4-Pack) (hondogarage.com)

They fit in where you want them without having to take everything else out of the rail.

 

I think that's the GM repair bill barter system, since GM junk breaks all the time. Just pick a part off and barter for the needed repair.

 

That is the one I used, was easy to install. I also filled the ends of the screws with silicone caulking just to make a bit harder to remove.

 

WTF??

 

Dropped off the camper shell to get painted. Truck looks a lot better than I remember with it off.

 

I got the rack installed today. I don't know if yours is as high as mine. Seems like when Realtruck took over Backrack they made it a couple inches taller. Hopefully not too much windage up there... I found the J brackets you mentioned, and will put the tool box in today.

 

I have very minimal to zero wind noise but it is tall I’ll give ya that. I’m used to it now though. I like the look. Just staring at it when I had just installed it made me think it was too tall. Also apologies for forgetting to get those hardware pics haha.

 

Hey, no worries, about the pics, I knew what you were talking about and found the right J hooks. Glad you thought it was a bit tall, makes me feel better haha. I guess I'll get used to it too. Glad to hear there's minimal wind noise. Haven't taken a spin on the hwy yet. I'll post a pic when I put the tool box back on, I think it will look sharp.

 

Saved my window

 

I’ve had some splash guards that a member made and they are pretty beat up. It’s been about 1.5-2 years with them and while the coverage was amazing they eventually tore and I ripped off the drivers side two days ago. Got on the interwebs, found these, 2 days later, here they are they look “over- engineered” which for us Tacoma world residents is the way. Thick plastic like mudflaps. Stiffish. Can’t wait to get them in.

 

I’m sober and I want the blue knob and the 8 ball lol, where did you find them?

 

lol. “I’m sober”. Your on Tacoma world, drunk with lust for shift knobs.
