What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my new ammo boxes installed for some extra storage. Not the cleanest install but I learned a few things for the future and they don’t interfere with the tonneau which was my main goal.

Didn’t get pics in progress but: 1 1/4 x 3/8 bolts with washers inside and outside of the rail, rubber gaskets through the boxes and secured with flange bolts on the inside. Threw some felt furniture pads on the lower edge for when they hit the bed. Spray dipped the side facing the outer wall and planning to dip the rest when I get time and light.

Don’t mind the makeshift cargo divider, I needed something to keep my groceries in one area.

*edit: not sure if the lights will stay but I’m going to try them. $1 store tap lights mounted on industrial magnetic tape.

 

A bed mat will keep your groceries from sliding around. Probably one of my most useful mods.

 

If you like cooking with charcoal and use a park style grill ( love mine ) Northern has a neat grill post that fits right in you receiver hitch. Pretty slick and you don't have to grill on your tailgate.

 

Pretty creative, pretty cool! I like the ammo box idea! Lights are good.
Even though I have a Bed Rug in the back I use that cargo net to keep things like wine bottles and propane tanks from rolling around.
I also have one of these for lighting in the back....battery powered, water resistant LED’s.
Have had them for over a year.....work great. Great alternative for those who don’t want to have to wire the LEDs to the battery etc.

Looks good man. Is there an empty gap behind the new emblem, or did you put something behind the emblem to brace it? Did you use double-sided tape to attach the emblem?

 

Since nobody makes covers for the sr5 key fob I decided to plastidip mine. The back came out pretty sh!tty when I was trying to peel off the paint over the Toyota logo so I’ll probably remove the whole back piece and leave the front.

 

Try looking up camry key covers. If I remember right my 2015 Camry had the Same key type as my sr5

 

That's cool, I'll have to keep that in mind.

 

True, but in the moment I made do with what I had on hand.

 

I’ve seen them before. They are the same except the Camry key cover has the extra trunk button

 

Put a few stickers on the inside today

 

Finished wiring the VIAIR Ultra Duty OBA kit the night before SEMA. They were turning out the lights in the hall right as I was wrapping up. They have a not-so-subtle way of telling you to GTFO.

 

Got some new wheels today. I will be waiting until black Friday to buy the tires and have them mounted. I was pretty saitisfied with the alloys that came with the truck but I had to get 17 inch wheels to upgrade to the big brake kit that Wilwood introduced last week at Sema. I got the set for only $688 at a local dealer which is the employee price. I would have liked to have gotten the Volk TE37 wheels in 17 inch but they were more than 4 times more expensive so these were my next choice and I really like them.

 

Didn't do much with my Tacoma today other than to give it a quick wash.

 

Love those wheels!

 

That looks really good I also think you will be the first pro with a softtopper that i have seen!

 

Not today, but in the last few weeks ;-) Almost there

 

who's sliders are those? they are super clean

 

China is mass producing the faux pro grill. Wait another 2 weeks and I bet we can get them for 120$!

I think that's where all the current faux grills are from.
