What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What came (first) next?

The egg!

Just kidding, wondering the same thing myself. Some serious intestinal fortitude going on there!
Looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

I couldn't do that to my truck. Maybe somebody else's but not mine.

 

I could............, maybe after 200k, crappie paint and a significant amount of badly needed bodywork!
In its present condition? Not a chance!

 

Today I did a thing. Savannah to Charleston.

^^^ used this for install.

 

Wish me luck..

 

Thanks!

 

I said the same thing 4 months ago when I bought my truck. Now it has 3000 miles so I figured what the hell, let's cut it up.

 

Does that knob move around at all? Can you snap a pic of it close from the side? I would like to see how it look swith the chrome ring and that adapter.

 

I'll be taking this same trip on Dec 5th. It will be the first trip of any distance me and my Taco make. Hope my mileage is as good.

It's the Addictive Desert Design Honeybadger bumper. The lighting is Rigid. Thank you. I really like it too.

 

Understandable about not wanting to drill the roof! While I've had success, especially with antenna mounts, it is nerve racking to punch holes in the roof.

To skirt around here is what I have done:
I have a large bundle (9 wires 12, 14 and 18 AWG) for my roof (since this pic I finished the cable management), but it gets the point across I have a lot of exposed cables to deal with.

​

First I ran 2AWG from the battery to both of my auxiliary fuse/relay boxes, one under hood, the other behind the rear seat.

​

From these I tap the switched roof lights, my auxiliary cargo lights and the controller for the roof top antenna motor (among others). Some of these are patched back to the key-slot switches and other activators.

​

Finally, I then run under the rear seats (not shown) through the rear seat center hole grommet and fished my cables up through my roll bar, emerging though some liquid tight (can flex when the bed does) and up to my purpose built harnesses on the roof.

​

[Apologies to guys who follow my build thread...but I get a lot of questions (always happy to answer) and sometimes re-post this stuff up here as newbies join the forum or guys get more confident in cutting and drilling.]​

 

Almost reveal time. I'm not finished yet.

 

Yes that's the black tip I've seen in the past. I really dont feel like replacing my whole exhaust to for the black tip, although all my other chrome is removed so to keep the TRD I might just have to....

 

I went the exact same route, but couldn’t get the boot retainer to fit. I eventually chopped up and modded the retainer to come up with this:







EDIT: I wonder if the manual trans shifter is a “thicker” shaft. It also tapers from the base up to the threads.

 

love that front bumper. Looks so clean, it should be OEM.
