What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice Job!!!!!! Congrats on that. It's a huge accomplishment! Something to be proud of. I am going to celebrate 30 married next month and this summer makes a total of 34 together. And if either of us should be committed on our side it would be her for putting up with me all these years.

 

Congrats ! I'm at 38 total on sept 29 . First date .

 

Received and installed my @rrentrop grille inlay. Next will be vanity covers. Happy with all so far.





The rear are non-rrentrops (sorry@rrentrop)

 

Edit - Any pics? Now I see them!!!! Very nice!

 

Thanks, Funny, ours is the 20th of Sept......

 

Nicely done!

 

Used some 3x1 aluminum channel and uni strut hardware to make some bedside mounts. I cut some longer ones for the back of bed to mount my max traxs and a few 2x12 boards. I used some shorter ones for the sides and mounted quick fist for a few other items. All material purchased locally, nothing fancey.

 

Bought it yesterday, silver sky.
Bro grill, derp, and tonneau today.
''Twas a day. Pics to follow.

 

Went to the dealer for the first 6 month service, just turned 4500 miles when I pulled in. In and out in an hour with them checking the rear diff fluid level which was fine. I asked about the CPS and rear diff recalls, which mine is not part of either. I was astounded with the pricing of their TRD accessories, damn! When the truck was done and pulled around, I was dumbfounded it wasn't washed. I worked at a VW/Audi dealer in the mid 1990s as the parts manager, service director and a tech when needed and we washed every car that had service done. The "special customers" cars got vacuumed and the inside of the windows cleaned. Oh well....
They had almost every configuration of Tacoma on the lot except for the Pro, no Sky Silver, and no manuals.

 

Umm thank you...mine wasn't washed on my first service either, I was super confused

 

Well, we made it out to Sioux Falls, SD today. Heading to Rapid City tomorrow. I told everyone to pack lightly. That obviously didn't happen! My wife trying to climb over everything to get something out of the cooler, I guess, including a practice surf board type thing that they just had to bring with, and about 10 pair of cowboy boots. Lol

 

I won't let them wash mine in the swirlomatic machine..... unless you don't mind heavy swirl marks after a couple of washes

 

It's a little early but anyone heard of any Labor day sales coming?

 

I would in fact mind that

 

I had one of those on my Datsun p/u.... IN 1978!

 

Ac drain mod done! I waited to long for this, but at least it's done. Excess piping will be cut off at work tomorrow with the correct cutter.... And not a steak knife.

 

Tint done. So much cooler in the cab on these 100*+ days! B-pillar vinyl staying for now

 

First I have to dye my grey hair black. Wait, I can wrap it with the B pillar vinyl!

 

Got my sliders today from FCIMetalwerks here in San Diego. Alfredo does good work and he's a good dude. Any in SD that needs anything fabricated, hit him up. My confidence level just went up for hitting the trails.
