What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bought something off my wish list, I've been wanting one of these trash bags since I got my Tacoma 5 years ago.

I always hated when camping or hanging out after hiking/biking that I would have to stuff trash in my bed.
I tried the cheapo Trash-a-roo but it hangs on the bumper, squishes when dropping the tailgate, and I couldn't put trash inside with the tailgate down.
So I used dry bags but with a bed full of gear my trash ended up piled on top of something. And a couple times I didn't roll the bag enough and had a leak on my camp chairs, which is usually where the bag ended up getting tossed since the chairs lay next to my bed platform, which sucked.

Now the trash can stay on the outside.

$200+ is kinda pricey but it is made in the USA, which I value, and most importantly it fits the Tacoma tailgate perfectly.

 

Yep! I installed Stryker struts pretty quick and since I had rivet tool I chose that route without fear. Painted drilled holes to block rust. No rust here! No slack, no wobble, easy installation, never had a problem.

 

It's supposed to be heavy. It serves as a crumple zone/crash protection. If you're feeling spendy, these are cool...

That color match looks good. Be careful though, you’re gonna start taking every little bit here and there to that shop…

 

The early keys had an easily forged attack. The newer keys are much more difficult to fake the chip.

Originally, car keys could simply be broken with a screwdriver and vice grip. The RF chip made that no longer work. But now the RF can be attacked if the key is left anywhere a relay attack could work. So using both a key and a modern RF chip makes it much more difficult to start.

Of course someone can still tow the truck.

 

Ha funny you say that because I figured he'd have some paint left over and he did when i asked. Told him I gotta think of something else I can paint match since he's got it. Can't really think of anything at all though atm.

 

Interior dash/radio trim?

 

Hood struts were one of the 1st mods I installed.

Nahhh, not for me.. Not a fan of excessive color matched interior stuff. I have a few orange/inferno trim bits and pieces for just enough flare and contrast for that minimalist look. Thanks for the idea tho!

 

I felt like it was kinda heavier than it should be too. Installed the same. I was concerned bc the driver side stud at ground location kinda bent forward under the pressure a tad (saw this on a couple of reviews too).. But it hasnt budged any more since. One of my favorite mods tho.

 

Love it. As adults we have trash bags on our wish list .. who would have thought

 

I've done irreparable damage to my bumper on purpose. Now, I'm trying to decide if I want to go further with viper cuts.

 

Throwing an aftermarket bumper on? I think viper cuts looks great with them

 

Yea, the Hi-Line.
Thinking I'll hold off on the vipers for now, give me time to get used to the bumper before I make a final decision. I like the look of viper cuts too, so I probably will later.

 

Got my bumper installed

 

Hot dam it looks good!

 

Thanks!

 

Second that!

 

Do it! You won't be sorry...

 

I still need to decide on a winch, but my lights and d rings will be here this week. I was able to find some color matched D-Rings
