What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Pricey $400 but you can feel the difference. Smoother shifts. Snappier bottom end

 

You got it. The black toolbox looks better with the black rack. Nice work.

 

Yes, did use that bracket. Made the install easy.

 

Looks great! Just curious, why valvomax instead of the fumoto valve? Just asking because I've owned a few fumoto valves in the past and am considering getting one for the Tacoma.

 

I have a fumoto on mine, drain time takes a bit longer than just pulling drain plug, but no spills or mess

 

I have the

$43 F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25

F133N with

$9 LC-10 : Lever Clip for F-Type Valves (Not Compatible with SX Series)

LC-10 F-Series Large Body Fumoto Valve which drains a little quicker than the OG Fumoto valve and makes it easier for me with the TRD skid plate.

 

thanks, I lucked out and found the toolbox in a local shop. It had been sitting for a while so I got a sweet deal. The badge on it is even blue

Have you ever gone through a car wash with that rack? I wonder if it's up too high or not. I usually hand wash my truck, but sometimes in winter I go through.

 

I go through the car wash with mine and no problems.

 

Installed the spotter mirrors!

 

I have a skid plate so the hose going through the hole will make less of a mess.

 

Skid plate was causing oil to run a bit cause the hole for the drain plug didn't quite align with the plug. So hopefully the hose attachment makes it cleaner.

 

Gave both the vehicles a good detail today. Constant battle with the two pine trees on my property.

 

Gave it a little TLC today and a coat of wax. Normally don’t wax my trucks, but it was nice weather and I needed a beer.

 

Custom no cuts subwoofer and amp install. Way too much BS to try and get around the factory JBL system.

 

I added the Victory 4x4 molle panel. I had to remove the a section around the bed light to get it to fit, it would fit with the flat lights but mine are angled.
Installed a Mountain Hatch tailgate insert.
And finally I cut a few pieces of foam to fit into the cubby holes to help prevent dust.

 

Added a white ring around the transfer case dial. Just something to make that specific dial stand out.

 

I installed a full set of engine/trans/t-case skid plates from OK Expedition.
Pretty easy install and a great Canadian made product .
Instructions were clear and concise, shipping was quick and extremely well packaged.

 

Said a newbie on the Toyota Design Team, "Let's put all the 2wd/4wd & Locker & Crawl buttons in one location for ease of identification". Team Response: "Who is the new kid who thinks he knows better than US?? What a smart-ass. Ath-hole."

 

Surprisingly no! It's incredibly sturdy.

 

70k mile spark plug change. Pretty easy job. Not sure what all the fuss was about. Oil change coming up soon.
