What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Grind it off. Save the bits!

 

That’s awesome! And thanks for the shoutout. I always prefer local business when I can and they seem to make a good product and a very reasonable price. Thanks for supporting them as well!

 

Installed OME Lift and ARB Bumper.

 

They look great! That's the only set of aftermarket tail lights I've liked on any Tacoma.

 

Hello Everyone,
I am back.
I have been away for 6 weeks, as I had to have major surgery to prevent a health issue and having to wear a catheter bag for the rest of my life.
I'm 100 % better and pathology samples came back , no signs of cancer !

Friday I purchased my Tacoma off the lease and I am happy to say that i now look forward to adding on more accessories , The funny thing is the dealership tried to sell me an extended warranty for $ 4000 and Gap Insurance, My friends convinced me to dump both the extended warranty and the gap insurance. They wanted to charge me $ 950.00 for the gap insurance and you can get it through your auto insurance for on average like $ 30.00 per year, that's a no brainer right there. The dealership was ( Balise Toyota of West Springfield, Ma. )

While they made me leave my vehicle for 2 weeks while they waited for the title to arrive, they gave me a 2024 TRD off-road to drive around free of charge, lets just say they are fun to drive, especially the hybrid engine, zips off the line like a rocket.
But I can say I wouldn't ever buy one. I will drive my Third Generation until I can not drive it anymore.

First new Mod to add on will be the TRD pro grill and a Cali Raised bumper light Bar.
Second will be a Prinsu roof rack with the light bar on top and some storage containers.

 

Congrats! Fuck cancer!

We lost my brother-in-law to cancer yesterday.

 

Replaced the DD SS30 hidden bumper light bar with a Stedi ST4K 32" dual row light bar. I'll get some night shots soon. First night shot I had it positioned a little low. Even with it being tilted down too low, it still outperformed the SS30. It's a beast of a bar in terms of output and size. Had to slightly modify the hood latch bracket to fit.

 

Love the wheels and tire set up on both. Very well done

 

Same here. I dislike the stamp

 

Nice trucks!

I too had a gen1, kept that thing...skipped gen 2 completely, then finally broke down and bought a gen 3. I'll most likely be skipping the gen 4 completely as well. I'd honestly like to buy a really low mileage 4x2 SR utility package 3rd gen to keep forever.

 

Interesting... This cubbie has developed a slight annoying rattle in my truck this winter. I'll see what happens now that the weather is warming up.

 

Ahhhh, come on, man!

You can barely notice the indentation.



Until you put inserts on it.

 

Glad I could help you look into yours, hope you find a solution. Interesting thing is, no tools needed for this one, except scissors to cut foam.

 

I mainly dislike it because some turd smashed into the back of me a few years ago... I had my Tailgate repaired by a PDR guy, but he couldn't get it 100%. If the stamp wasn't there it would have been fine.

I wound up plastidipping the bottom portion to "hide" the imperfections.

Still bothers me a little bit

 

That's unfortunate...and I understand.

Thanks for taking my humor with a grain of salt.

 

Im with you i enjoy the stamp with some inserts, on a side note funny to look at my truck bone stock down to the tires and no topper.

 

Why would you have to modify the hood latch bracket to get it to fit if it is in the bumper?

Where did you purchase it from and what mounting brackets did you use?

 

Another one for the stamped tailgate letters, after adding some inserts of course.. lol

To me, it's part of what makes a 3rd gen a 3rd gen, it is the little things like the tailgates that sets the 3rd gens apart from the 2nd gens...

 

Not today, but installed Bilstein coilovers (6112) and shocks (5100) from WheelEveryWeekend to replace the OEMs on my TRD Sport (72K miles). Fixed a “thunk” in the right front that’s been there a while…..probably since new just never thought anything about it. Now I can go over those speed bumps in the mall parking lot with confidence.
