Added a shovel to the roof rack last night

You can get a standard plate at any time for free from the dmv (or AAA). I did this when I sold my Jeep and wanted my plates on the Tacoma.

 

Removed the TRD sport decal from the bed and lumin-x amber on the fogs to match raptor lights.

 

Look up black tags for Delaware. Two digits are in the $200,000.00 and up. My boss has #52 and turned down 250K for it. (He does not need the money-he owns a Toyota dealership-lol). Crazy

 

Replaced some Nitto TerraGrapplers with the General Grabber ATXs.

 

Are the new shoes quieter or noisier than the OEM tires?

 

I would say noisier if you’re really paying attention. But honestly, these tires are super quiet.

 

$250k for a plate? Nope

 

Picked up the truck on 12/7 and have added the O.E.M. mud flaps, bed lights and auto tailgate lock, Extang and Weathertech window deflectors and mats. I have a bed extender and Marathon two-tone seat covers on the way and I think I’ll be done!

 

Initial cost, including 3 years of decals, was around $110 in VA so I saved $249,890. For $250k in VA I can buy personal plates and a house. And mine only has 2 numbers on it too.

Oh crap I forgot to blank out my plate numbers

 

Haha we've all thought we were done at some point. It doesn't end

 

Wasted 2+ hours round trip driving to meet a guy from F/B selling a TRD Pro skid plate for $285.....
POS was a no show at the police station......

 

If anyone is interested in OEM mud flaps then PM me. I have a set I took off and put smaller ones on instead.

 

Sick plates.

 

I think I might have to do something about the fogs and low beams. VERY disappointed. Love a lot of things about the truck but the lights suck. I wish I would’ve had these bed lights and auto tailgate lock on my 2012. Can’t tell you how big of a relief that is in the dark in the middle of the woods...!

 

I purchased from eBay. Genuine Toyota parts. Btw for 2020

Big thanks to @MESO for making some killer products!!!

 

Getting caught up a bit on what I did to my third gen

AVS hood protector-I was on the fence about this one but I got an Amazon open box deal. Can’t beat 15 bucks

IJDMtoy Ditch lights for Christmas

TVD vinyl for the steering wheel. It’s the little things

AJT climate rings and vent rings

Meso ultimate dome- damn map lights are always out of stock

Meso puddle pods

and wired up new headlights on my sons “Toyota”

 

I asked this group about "helper“ leaf springs a couple of months ago, really appreciated the input, and finally got some installed today.

Here are the findings :

Height road to wheel well; stock suspension, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box: 35 5/16”

Height road to wheel well; with helper springs, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box: 36 3/16”

Height road to wheel well, w/helper spring, with plywood carpet kit, canopy, Yakima roof box, scuba tanks (317lbs ), 20lbs lead weight, BCD (12lbs), 7 gallons water (56lbs), Rocky Mounts bike rack/bike ( 81 lbs) TOTAL LOAD WEIGHT 486 lbs: 34 7/16”

I don't have a ton to say about their performance yet. I'll need to drive it around for a few days, but I'll be sure to report back.
