What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

After going back and forth between the BFG KO3 and the Toyo Open Country ATIII, I pulled the trigger on the Toyo. 265/75/16 with 1.5” spacers. I also upgraded my low beams to H9. .

 

H9 is the upgrade ... H11 is usually the downgrade.

 

Cleaned the interior.... It was long overdue.

Carpet scrubbed, vacuum everything, dusted, 303'd, compressed air in all the cracked and crevices ..

I passed on cleaning the glass .. I'll do that some other time.

 

LOVE your CAT!!! And Tacoma, of course!

 

Installed DRT Fabrication diff skid. Tomorrow’s plan is to weld on the rock sliders.

 

Nice. any pics?

 

I'll buy it if you don't. I need a shell for the extra space. At least 3k-3500+tax new. Paint shouldn't cost more than 500-700.

Jelly, mines full of dog hair and dog snoots all over the glass. Maybe this weekend.

 

Gotta say thanks Johnny
@Puppypunter
Made me some harnesses
Got my reverse rigids hooked up in the Rci bumper.
And did the “full C “ conversion on the taillights.
The passenger is brighter because the turn signal is on.
Light output is bright. But has a cutoff.

 

It's already dirty... It lasted 1 day.

Why clean it ?

 

My wife hates driving my truck because it is SO BIG! I'm just happy it fits in the garage. But I've never had big cars; the biggest previously was an '08 4Runner which was shorter and didn't have as high of a hood.

 

Wait... what? An Access Cab and Double Cab SR are the same size as a comparable TRD model. Unless you're comparing cab sizes.

 

Removed my decked drawers in preparation for some drawers made by Solid Wood Worx. Found a bunch of washers and bolts that I dropped over the years.

 

I think a lot of people immediately think the SR is the autozone parts runner access cab.



It’s basic but not suuuuper basic.

Today’s WHYDTY3GT was checking the rear diff level after having changed the fluid earlier in the week and throwing a new crush washer on. lol. “Mod”

 

No. I’m just giving him some flak. Sounds like he wants a bigger truck. I get it. Taco is tight, I’m not a large person, and it’s cramped for me.

 

I'm a large person and I think I have plenty of room, are you coming from a Sequoia or something with an attached cargo area?

Genuinely curious, not trying to be rude

 

Last truck was a GMC crew cab 3/4 ton. Prior to that raptor super cab, I think the underseat storage and actual center storage is what made it significantly better for the amount of stuff I do.
Also the seating angle is really weird and i feel like I'm constantly pressing myself back into the seat. I'm not necessarily large, 6'1 220, but I'm not petite.
I really want to like this truck but I don't know that there's gonna be any amount of modding that makes it comfortable enough to want to keep it.

 

No difference in size between an SR 4 door vs any TRD 4 door.

You can get a 6' bed on a 4 door in some configurations,

Not sure why ppl believe the SR package is lacking in so many areas. Same exact truck, less crap

Access cab 6'bed SR.
They also make a 4door sr with a shorter bed
And I believe Canada makes a long bed 4 door SR.

 

I’m 6’2’’ 250lbs coming from a 2003 Tundra into a 2023 Tacoma sport with literally no restrictions. My taco does everything the Tundra did and more.

 

Just to let y’all know
I’m over here shaking my head.
