What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This forum rocks! Nice Dante!

 

Oh wait, but it says "Made in the USA." They forgot the "with pride" part.

 

that's an interesting "mod".

 

Did they spell it correctly?

 

Where did you get the baffles for covering the holes in the doors? How effective are they together with the Noico as a vapor barrier? Did you do the back also?

 

Surprisingly, yes.

 

Those baffles, or access panels are OEM. good to keep them in place in case you need access to inner door IMO. I did same thing.

 

Took the wife to our fav Italian place for dinner tonight, really just an excuse to get on the freeway and test out that sound deadening, and the sound/music. The sound/music thumps. I was on the fence for quite some time, 1.5 years, before deciding to do the sound deadening thing. If I knew it was going to greatly enhance the tunes, I would have done this upfront. Sound deadening just got put up into the top 5 things I’ve ever modded on my Taco. Impressed!

 

What he said. Yes I did 3 strips on the outer door skin.

 

I tore off the OEM clear plastic vapor barrier. Then covered the whole door and the foam baffle/close out panels on just the outside with Noico. The vapor barrier is actually open, not sealed, at the top edge.
Just the sides and bottom are covered with the vapor barrier.

 

Thats why i did the dynaliner on top of dynamat as an extra barrier...same on back panel

 

Hopped under the hood just to have a look around. Right by the dip stick and a little further bit further back I what appears to be two threads that look like bolts could go in. Just making sure mine look normal, lol.

 

Total Chaos bed stiffeners.

Easy install and now ready for a cap.

 

Left a harsh yelp review for the shop that scarred my new wheels.

Damn you wasted no time. Looks great!

 

Looking forward to getting this done.


There was a note in my mailbox Tuesday....signature required for the package containing the Noico material. I have no idea why it was "sig required".

Ran by the post office yesterday morning and got the package. Sucker was heavy....I'm guessing that's why they refused to bring it to the front door, lol.

Great test run review.

Looking forward to getting this done.

 

Is that a permanent mod or a work in progress? I like how you aligned the cutting board with the geometry of the tail gate and the bottle being off center is a nice touch...looks a little lonely...what happened to the other 5 ;-)?
