What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've heard adding some ceramic coat will help with the longevity to keep it from yellowing again.

I did the same on a previous car I owned and found that it started getting cloudy again within a year. When our minivan needed an upgrade to the headlights due to cloudiness I found buying OEM headlight assemblies gave me the piece of mind that it would take another 10 years to get cloudy and I wouldn't be redoing the headlights every 12-18 months with the aftermarket restoration kits.

 

I washed and waxed it today, And tomorrow will vacuum an clean interior.
As i said before , This color was not my first choice but i`m starting to like more and more.

 

very nice Thomas!

 

Paid it off.

 

Installed the JBL in the small cubby .
Filled in the low end!!!

 

'23 SR5 DCSB v6 14,682m at purchase
New to me end of March. Not planning to overland but do enjoy the North Woods of Maine on occasion otherwise, a home work truck and hauling sled trailer to camp and beyond in winter. Have done a few mods but just put the side steps on today. I don't need them and already kind of regret but peer pressure from grandson and spouse was all it took.
Pics plus these simple mods:
Console cover/cushion
Console and GB dividers plus tray for console
Wireless CP adapter
Husky e-acts
Hammock for the rear for my girl (The Dog silly)
Interior LED's
LED License Plate lights and the 1/2 cover stick on "shaders"
Had Lasfit Fog LED (Switchbacks) but returned and didn't install - pre-cert gold with 12/12 bumper to bumper and I chickened out after more research
Toyota OEM bed mat
Pending
Viofo 119/Dongar adapter
Tyger roll up Tonneau (Has stock RC tri-fold and I do not like it)
LED box light upgrade
Seat Covers - Cheap washable probably

Thanks for looking, I've read a ton from this site and thank every one for their input, just excellent reference material all around.

 

I usually hangout on Mud but I figured new tire day warranted my first post here. Picked up a 23 DCSB at the end of January as a new daily and I just got it back from getting some new KO3s and FNs mounted after installing the OME lift and OE Trail Edition grille last weekend.




(I have a thing for white 3rd gens I guess)

 

I am not a fisherman, but I learned long ago, that the only commercial salt water fish that has no parasites, is Haddock. Since knowing this, I have totally grossed out many friends and family, during a fish fry dinner, by explaining that they are eating worms, and then flaking off pieces of fish, and stretching the worms out on my plate. There are commonly two types, sometimes in the same fish; tiny coils of grey worms, all coiled up, barely larger than a pencil lead; and pinkish white worms, also coiled up but more like the size of a pencil eraser. Pink are harder to spot until you break up the fish meat, but these pink ones are the show stopper while people are eating!!

What, everything is delicious deep fried!

I too will choose haddock, if I happen to be thinking about this when I order.

 

Welcome to TW, I have basically the same truck (SR5 RWD), and it is highly recommended to do the H9 low beam upgrade as well as the VTAILs upgrade, wayyy better than stock...

Yeah, my drop steps are for my dogs, wife, kids and grandkids... lol

 

Much appreciate the nod and the recommendations!

 

Not true. Cod, pollock, flounder I could go on. Spotted Sea Trout is my favorite. Flesh Blue Fish is good.
Edit: I’m fearful this thread is becoming a fishing thread. I’m now stopping.

 

Thank you very much, and I forgot to tag you on this reply, wanted to thank you for the details on your same project. That really helped me get motivated to do mine.

 

Nice looking rig man

 

Barricade HD Stubby Front Bumper with Winch Mount and 20” Single Row Light Bar.

no cutting required! One of the main reasons I went with it as I am not very mechanically inclined lol

 

Tail light armor from Tyger.

 

I like the look of them, but if the taillamp takes a direct hit, instead of breaking the lens would it not transfer the impact to the metal and do more costly damage??

Asking for a friend...

 

Great looking rig...

BTW, in the 1st pic, it looks like the tires are 18-24" wide...

 

This is straight up truck porn. The wet background. Well done my friend. Just need the tire specs and lift, if any.

 

It's the DEET - that stuff is amazing at chasing the bugs and for dissolving plastics. Clever idea to use it to remove the haze layer; I like it.

My experience is that once the lights are hazed you will have to polish more often. The plastic can only handle so much UV and then it starts to break down. I've put PPF on older lights after polishing them to shield from UV and the parts covered with PPF stay clear longer than the rest. Or I'm imagining it.
I put 3M PPF on my Taco's headlights when new and we shall see how it works in a few years. Maybe it will save the lenses, maybe it will get all crusty and by then will be adhered so well I'll have a different problem.

 

Someone on here posted a pic of their interior after a bug spray incident. Messed it up pretty good.
