What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice. Well, that settles that. I'll probably go for the slotted rotors with the sport pads because I drive "spirited". I'll also probably replace the rear brake lines to keep it consistent, even though they must be on a separated line. Just curious, what PSI do you run your tires? Thx!

 

I have. I was once “middle class”. But because I paid off my debts, finished college at night school, got married and had kids, I have no deductible expenses nor qualify for aide so I get completely and totally fucked by local, state and federal taxes.

Of course my biggest tax is likely sales tax on all the shit I bolt on my Taco.

 

And, of course, my first order of Spotter Mirrors arrived shattered, but replacements are on the way!

 

Quick wash... Pressure wash, foam cannon, towel dry, Adams quick detailer spray, then a quick coat of beadmaker... Total time 1 hour.

Tires were not done... New 285 toyo AT3 tires are sitting in the corner. Didn't feel like spending another hour on the stockers just to remove them when I get wheels to install these new ones.






Tomorrow morning going to get the eibach stage 2 coilovers, rear sport shocks, ECGS bushing, CMC, and MAYBE a viper cut.... Still debating on the viper cut. It's a bit aggressive, but looks cool in my opinion.

 

I really liked the idea of the reverse lights anytime too. @Puppypunter Let's plan for adding the flasher circuits, and reverse anytime if it isn't too late.

 

Never too late for you.

 

Youll have to run 3 wires from the tail lights to the front of the truck, but its not hard to do. I ran them along the factory wire harness that goes from the front fuse box all the way to the back. Took about 30 minutes to do.

Here is the flasher that I am using

Did you install yourself?

 

Mounted my WaterPort tank on my Rago Fab bed mount. Finally no more muddy bikes, dogs, or shoes. Plus on some job sites there isn't running water so now I can hose off tools as well.

 

Is it pressurized?

 

What brand of metal building? Manufacturer? Thanks

 

Question for @Tacosha , but I'm thinking yes...

I personally ended up going for the JLT found here. Install pics forthcoming.

 

Okay cool I looked at that one too. I would be stoked to see install pics! I go up steep roads a lot and need this!

 

What did I do today? I used my truck like a truck .
Loads of firewood.

 

I hired a contractor, told them exactly what I wanted and they built it.

24X40 interior, 12x40 covered porch... 12 foot tall sides and 16 feet tall in the middle. Multiple 220V outlets. Prewired for a 2 post lift. 6 inch reinforced concrete that's 4000psi. Drive through style with two 10x10 roll up doors and one walk in door.

My "Man Cave"

 

I have a 40x40 stick with 14' ceiling (lift) and want to add another 20 feet on the back. This looks like a viable option for me. Thanks for the information.

 

Would like to see the porch if you have a photo.

 

Downside to metal buildings... Hotter in the summer and colder in the winter... But even here in Florida it's not that bad with the 2 garage doors open and a fan blowing.

I almost got it insulated, but spray foam would've added another 6 grand to the cost...

 

Spray foam is expensive as you know. I am thinking of buying a used setup (turnkey) for foam spray, do a few jobs and sell it. My asphalt shingle roof takes in summer heat like it is a sponge. Often upwards of 110 deg F on a hot day.
