What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No, just soap in the foam cannon.

 

Went to Harbor Freight to grab a gun case for the top of the rack.

 

I have to say, there has been several comments with different toppers on this site over the past months, leaking, fit, etc. I purchased a new Snugtop Hi-Liner, installed by dealer, have had 0 complaints so far, fit and finish I wouldn't say is perfect, I do see some flaws, but overall it is a great topper! I have had 3 different toppers in the past, Leer (F250), ARE (F250) and now a SnugTop (Tacoma), I don't think, at this point, I would go another way as long as the SnugTop holds up over time, stays sealed, etc. In my opinion, I made a good choice in Snugtop.

Just my thoughts.

 

It’s been a busy week for my Tacoma. I had my 700# eibachs installed in my 6112’s as well as the OME AAL. The stance is a bit higher and it rides great. I am a bit nose high but the springs will settle and I’ll be adding the X2O winch with the SSO slimline with the new stage two “wings” when they come out.

Unfortunately it’ll stay in this box for a couple more months probably...




I also installed my All-Pro Apex bolt on sliders last night. I like the snug fit and they seem very sturdy. I still have to drill the holes on the bottom of the frame on each side. I’ll do that next week.



Also got my ARB twin compressor and expedition essentials bed cubby mount from the recent group buys. I’ll be installing those next week most likely. Very excited to take my truck to the next level! My taco hasn’t seen this much love in such a short period of time before!

 

I ordered me some recovery gear today... See links below:

Received my C4 fabrication rear bumper from Rigd supply in Orange Ca from Jason “tacodust”. Received great customer service and install. The crew at Rigd also took care of me on the front C4 bumper and expedited my order. Only waited 4 weeks. Here’s some pix from my trip last weekend.

I purchased a C4 dual swing out. With twin fold down camp tables and twin Jerry can box. Also has rear view camera relocation. Side tubes for added protection. It’s a newer design. Rigd Supply’s crew went out of the way to take care of me on my limited time frame!

Another benefit is they stock some Baja Design lights so I was able to get some flush mounts S2 sport and Squadron Sport ambers at the same time!

Wasn’t me. But my wife may have been in it.

 

I didn’t know this, should I have known I wouldn’t have bought the pop & lock. This one’s way cheaper for the same purpose.

 

Do you know if they have one without the ball mount on the bottom?

 

Of course they do. @oly51 gave you a link.

Here's a better link:

Thank you sir!

 

Thank you.

 

Haha, it was a guy for sure, in a QS SR5. I noticed you fit the description and thought I'd ask, maybe I'll see you some other time though. And if you're on here other Quicksand Taco dude in Baton Rouge, nice truck bro.

 

Added a Mountain Hatch tailgate panel. Super pumped to not spill drinks and have a flat place to cook/sit while camping. Well engineered and durable product.

thats an expensive ass cutting board. You opted not to get the built-in cupholders?

 

Geaux Tigers!

 

working on rear air line installation. ARB twin under the hood, running stainless braided air line to the rear. Located the coupler in the driver side cubby box. I should add that the coupler is an ARB coupler, but NOT the standard one that comes with the compressor. This is a specific coupler with JIC4 threads to accept the braided air line. Looks identical to the standard one...threads are just different.

 

And it is cheaper. The holes are in the bracket so you have options to mount other stuff.

 

I've got a couple questions for you since I've been considering the same springs. Did you keep the same perch setting on the 6112's when you installed the 700# springs? Did you happen to measure how much additional lift the heavier springs gave you? Thanks in advance...

 

is the finish on that panel super slick? wondering if linex or the like would be a decent way to finish it
