What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today but last week. CBI Baja Bumper, Baja Designs 20 in light bar, Warn winch, Alpharex headlights, and Weboost added.

 

Wash, clay and wax for the upcoming summer season.

 

Interested!

 

I've said this before and I will say it again, not cleaning your rig thoroughly after wheeling, or anytime you might get mud or mud like debris stuck to the underside/frame, it's just asking for trouble. Dirt and debris hold moisture, and it escapes me right now, but moisture held next to metal causes something.....

 

Anybody used/using on of these??

I have the tyger roll up. Has held up great for 3+ un-garaged years. I wipe it down with 303 about twice over the summer. Good fit, easy to adjust, room to tighten it up if I wanted but as is it doesn’t flap around much at speed

 

Beauty!

 

Is that really a $2k plus seat? Didn't see 'Tacoma' as an option on their website. Really nice seat BTW

 

Thats because we are the only game in town for mounting solutions for the Tacoma

Wow! At the price and the seats, lol. Those look really nice. I like the ventilated option. Any sales coming up?

 

Scheel-mann doesn't do sales, and to make matters a little worse, all of the seats are from Germany so an extra 25% tariff. Good times. Our stuff is made in the US so we aren't hit by the extra tax.

 

Ahh, probably why I like them. They look like something from an older Porsche or BMW. Do you have any more in person pictures of the grey? It almost looks like a gray/green combo.

My old school cool 6MT knob arrived yesterday. Installed with a Dubbs shift knob trim collar for an easy 5 minute install.

 

This must be a thing with only those mirrors which have built in displays (temp, compass, openers, etc.). Because my bottom-of-the-barrel '17 version, which only reflects what is behind me, simply and easily pivoted up to almost touching the sunglasses cubby. Did it after the first 1 mile and never thought twice about it.

(That same bottom-of-the-barrel '17 also came (new) with black door handles, vent rings, controller rings, and many of the items others spend hard earned dollars on to change to black.)

 

Yessir - bought and installed the 6’ version in Feb 2021.

I apply “

Live in north FL, stays outside, and it appears to be holding up well.

 

I always wash the frame off but I never remove the skids or spare tire to clean after off roading or crawl under the truck to spray off the under body.
This year I decided to do a full recoat vs just spraying the frame and a lot of dirt had build up on the body seams. It looked like rust but after wiping it with a rag the metal was factory fresh, and I haven't cleaned or resprayed the under body in 3 years.

The only rust on my truck is some surface rust on frame welds and on parts that are exposed to road spray from the tires, which is unavoidable if you live in the north where they salt the roads.

Woolwax is a rust inhibitor so anything it touches either won't rust or will stop rust from spreading. And if you have ever dealt with Woolwax or fluid film you know it is sticky, attracts dirt like crazy, and is impossible to fully clean without removing all of it.

 

Did I invent the word truckpartment?

 

Looks cozy.
