What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I did custom LED lighting for my tailgate area by installing a light strip on the window of my rear camper shell window.

Went from this to this.
Vinyle was faded and stained.

 

Normal color for oem. Toyota changed them a while back. I prefer the local Lexus dealer or Walmart in store for oem filters.

 

???

 

Psssst. It’s the B pillar

 

Had my 33 spare mounted/balanced. Shoved her back home where she belonged:

 

Nice. No issues with the exhaust?

 

Black vinyl on doors was removed.

 

That section of the 55 is full of dumb dumbs.

 

I installed my X-Trek grille after painting it not black.
And I put a 4 wheel drive decal on the tailgate from our friend from TVD vinyl decals.

 

So far no, but it is rather close for my liking. I’ll keep an eye on it over time but I think it’ll be fine

 

What is your propane tank sitting on or in?

 

DAC/Softopper tent arrived yesterday. Got it setup, took less than 5 mins. Seam sealed and let dry for a few hours. Super easy.
Ready to go camping this weekend!

 

I love that setup! Currently I have a Napier bed tent, which is great. Eventually would like to do your setup, so as to have the topper.

 

A plastic propane base. Many companies make them. They cost about $15. They do a good job of keeping the tank stable.

 

Figured I would try this… driving into the sun in a silver truck is no bueno! May take it further if it helps!

 

Getting the truck ready for the next parade. This is the big one, so I need to make sure its all setup right. The dance coaches will be sitting in the seats in the back so they can direct the team. I need to figure out the best spot for the speaker in there so the girls can dance to it.
I am going to brace the 10x2 beams in the middle to make sure its good and solid. The seats themselves are bolted to super strut, then those will be bolted to the cross beams.

(tables, random wood, and topper will not be there for the parade)

 

What about “joy sticks”?

 

Use a long steel L-bracket to prevent sagging in the beam. You can use a router to recess the angle-brackets into the wood. But ... big one ... double-up the 2x10s with screws to make effectively one piece.

 

How about mounting on the roof of the cab, facing forward, with a cooler for the beer mounted between the seats?
