What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Aha, good to know someone else had same. I would think that either a number 8 or a 10 or 12 nut probably would have screwed onto that little black nub. To hold it down . How did you keep the zip tie from sliding off that nub?

 

Not officially "to the truck", but gave it some camping accessories to go with my bed tent and sleeping mat. Privacy tent was not as hard to set up as some suggested ... guess they are less mechanically inclined than I am. Food supplies and waste removal supplies, as well as a 300W battery-powered inverted that can be charged from my bed-plug. Shower bag that should be enough for me for now ... checking how much it heats up in the sun. 3'x3' hard rubber floor for draining shower water away.

 

New shoe Saturday. Went from the wildpeak at3s to the at4s. Discount tire sales rep gave me a free spare Cooper tire in the same size so now I have a full size spare.

 

After 7yrs I finally took care of the annoying TPMS light. Slid a piece of hvac foil tape between the lamp and lens cover.

 

It looks so good! i want it back.

 

The Jet Boil looks pretty handy. But the "Go Anywhere Portable Toilet"?

You should always carry a shovel. (AKA - field latrine)


For longer term encampments, a bucket and some TP. (AKA - the "field improvised" deluxe)

 

Added some milk crates to the bed. Four across the back fits great. Very handy for grocery-getting and such. Keeps things from tumbling around the back. Also added a 1x4 to keep the crates from moving around too much.

Crates were from the Big W. (Juggernaut brand milk crates, not the cheap file holder type.)

 

I may take that advice. I need to go out and get at least 2 7-gallon water cans and a small caribiner because the two plastic hooks on the shower do not fit in the small metal hook in the privacy tent. Also a cooler (probably not Yeti, but ...).

I am sitting on my folding camp chair. My bag-shower is hanging in the privacy tent to see if all is as strong as promised. May make a poop-tube for safer storage of waste material. Just retested setting up the bed-tent.

I would think there are cheaper ways to be anti-social ...

 

What brand of bedlights ... that is on my list too ...

 

Installed fogs from @Diode Dynamics. Can’t wait to see this upgrade perform at night. Lighting upgrade til I can find some top notch headlights.

 

OEM

 

OEM Toyota bed lights and tri-fold tonneau cover came new with the truck. Luckily, I got the bed mat before they got scarce.

The bed lights are helpful, but I might add side rail lights for better coverage.

 

I will wait until I do molle panels. Something to attach shovels and some chincy Christmas lights to.

 

I’ve gotten a few decals from https://tvdvinyldecals.com/collections/tacoma?

somewhere on there are land cruiser decals that fit the xtrek. I think they have a link on the website too.
I couldn’t do white personally, so my cement truck sports mgm for the logo on the grill.

 

No. bilstein 5100 +ome coil 2885 front (2.25" lift) and aal+ 1.5" Icon rear

 

nice. That was my first lift on my taco.

 

I was just trying to be funny. But a good question. I don’t use premium

 

Yet another "Friday" topic, along with oil-change-interval, MPG, "is it totaled?".

 

Genius

 

I had the ss3 pros on my old truck and they are great. You will not be disappointed
