What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It’s all plastic so yes

 

Debadged both Tacoma door emblems, both bedside stickers, and V6 badge. Rebadged with these (door emblem on other side as well):

 

Replaced 2017 TRD Off Road grill with 2018 TRD Sport grill today. Also, added combo driving/ fog light behind the grill while the front clip was off.

 

Was a busy day! Got a chance to replace reverse OEM bulbs with LED. Also, added 2x additional license plate LED pods tucked up behind the tailgate which are tied into the reverse lights.
1st pic only LS side done.

I got this from another person posting about their letters too lol

 

Added LED pod under the hood with a ground switch so light comes on when hood opens.

 

Greased zerks with good old red and tacky then a very OCD wash and wax. I pressure wash first. Then foam gun until I can’t see the paint. Then rinse with pressure washer again, then microfiber hand wash whatever the touchfree didn’t get then rinse with regular hose.

Back to the zerks...
I could not for the life of me find the two on the slip yokes. I got all three spider/ u joints. Man the grease was gross that came out of there. I need to look at a schematic or something to find the other two.

Btw, this attachment is worth it’s weight in gold...lock and lube...

I went 70 for now; seemed pretty tight with a 1/2” drive. Appreciate the info!

 

Thanks Mike! I went 70, but I’ll go back out and go 80!

 

Washed the truck, installed some 16" Method 701's w/ 265/75 Wildpeaks, Meso stage 1 total tail lights, and debadged the chrome tacoma emblem.

 

Oh my. This is going straight to work with me.

 

Yeah man, get it. It’s like having a third hand.

 

Definitely picking this up. Im a diesel mechanic, and while I don’t grease stuff as much anymore, I have plenty of PM guys who will love using that

 

Oh ok thanks

 

How was the install? Waiting on mine to be delivered!

 

I have a diamondback cover on the way and plan to have kayaks or a tent on it at times down the road so I am just thinking ahead with it.

 

Is that the 55"??

 

Installed the trd cai system earlier today...
