What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got a link?

 

Cool. How are you going to know how to install it? The directions are in Japanese. I guess you could just wing it!

 

Instructions are optional when neither the truck nor the engine is sold in the Japanese market. (Even the Hilux was discontinued in Japan after 2005.)

I finally got my LaminX tinted light covers to try and change the yellow/green light emitting from my Baja Design “Amber”rock lights that I’m using as Raptor lights ( thanks @MESO ).

I figure yellow and red = orange (the color I prefer) so I bought this..

My “Amber” BD lights without tint...





Little more red than I wanted but better than the yellow. I may try LaminX Amber ... for $8 easy mod.

 

@MESO Red Map lights.

Much better than the factory ones. The OEM maps blinded my night vision outside, so I went with red.



I have some puddles that I need to install but that's going to have to wait until I have a free weekend.

 

You can probably expect some other RED LIGHTS in your future if you run those on the road?

 

Good point!! just ordered the Amber tiny!

 

Ha Ha! They do look cool though.

 

Started in on my diy Goose inspired mounting plate, 3/4" birch bolted in 6 spots all adjacent to the beds reinforcing ribs. Going to mount my fridge slide, jerry can holder, and a couple of tie downs with t-nuts. Once it's done I'll be able to remove and install the slide and can holder pretty quick. Going to round over the edges with my router, seal the edges, and paint with exterior house paint and maybe bedliner on the top.

 

So, how is the height between that and the fridge and other stuff? I.E. the rack?

 

That fridge sliding rack looks aircraft grade! It probably cost more that the fridge?

 

It's pretty tight but I've got a plan to move up the rack a little to accommodate. Thought I was going to have that knocked out today except the powder coated stock I ordered from McMaster Carr came in all banged up.

 

It's pretty nice but wasn't too many monies.

 

Measure twice, cut once. Always liked that saying.

 

You could always bump up the rack with spacers?

 

The plan is to get a shell eventually, I had the crossbars and stays laying around so thought I'd pop them on there. My truck came with the factory tonneau cover, the fridge was too tall for that which was kind of a bummer.

 

Anyone want to race for pink slips?

 

You might even brush some linseed oil on that birch to preserve it before you cover it?

 

That's the plan, I ordered in some black powder coated strut channel with the plan of using it to space up the bed rail, but the stuff I got came all scratched up to hell. I might paint it, figure it would come out better than trying to paint the galvanized stuff from HD.

 

. When???
