What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hmm... any chance you might have shipped me mountains for the 2nd gen instead of 3rd?
They don't fit as tight, as in the angle of the down pointing triangle doesn't match the up with angles of M

you can kinda make it out in this photo - the black triangle is much steeper than the M. Let me know if you want a photo dead on to see it better

 

Get the 2nd gen cab bed rail part. Just put mine on yesterday. Plan on using it to mount my MaxTrax, when I get them, as pictured below.

 

I just lost 10 lbs! Anybody know what the deal is with these door jam stickers?

 

That's a great idea! Any better pics of how it's mounted?

 

Yeah, lots of fun. Here I am at Wiesbaden airbase in 1978 That's my 72 911. Porsche Club of America, Germany Region was a great bunch of car nuts!

 

It's for the weight of whatever accessories that the dealer installed. I have one for the aftermarket tonneau they installed when I bought my truck. I think they're required to put these on since it technically reduces the cargo capacity by that weight.

 

They put those on anytime Toyota includes a factory accessory that adds weight...so in this case they decided 10lbs was the number to reduce by. Did your truck come with factory tonneau, steps or rack?

OA

Edit, just got beat!

 

I would not have the patients to do this so it looked good. My vinyl would be all sorts of bubbled and messed up if I tried. Nice job!

 

It accounts for the extra 10 pounds of style you have driving a new Tacoma.

 

Looks like a great day was had by the wheel man out there. I miss hills. North Florida has one thing in abundance and that's flat places to go.

 

Ah, good to know. I added a shitton of weight myself (sliders, skids, canopy, racks, etc.), but nothing has been installed from the dealership that I'm aware of.

Ha!

 

PM'd

 

ummmmm speaking of weight......... Did you order that one thing that we were talking about that one day?

 

Looks like it's probably something simple like a set of these for the bed rail:

$24 Te-Co 41406T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped Through T-Slot Nut, 3/8"-16 TPI, 5/8" Height x 7/8" Width x 9/16" Table Slot (Pack of 5)

And then some stainless double sided thread bolts with wing nuts???

Here's the thread where I got the pic:

HUGE improvement! It'll be better once the sub/amp goes in there, but it's already like night and day. He needs to order tweeters (the size he originally ordered was incorrect), so it was really just the 4 speakers in the doors and there's actually a bit of bass and much more clarity. I think we're aiming to finish it up by this weekend!

 

Ha! Got the invoice for that one thing this morning. Plan on putting a half down deposit tonight or tomorrow.

 

My bad, here is my Viofo A119s


View from Drivers Seat


And a view from outside. It's not too easy to notice.


Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I got it more or less free with some Amazon gift cards I got for Christmas. It does 1080p video at 60fps. Night vision isn't great, but it works. I did have to put some paper between the gps mount and the camera to stop it from rattling every time I hit a pothole/bump.

 

Noice!! Stoked to see it on the truck

 

Nice to see someone else shares my enthusiasm for getting rid of chrome. I can not stand chrome. Keep fighting the good fight.

 

Looks pretty damn good. Like that someone else second me on the shift knob
