What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ooo I kinda want a traeger but I don't use my charcoal grill that much as it is.

 

Found these bedrail spacers on thingiverse and had my buddy print me up a pair. Painted them black and got it all installed today. This should help keep water from getting in the bed around those gaps toyota graciously left at the front of the bed.

I'll likely still throw some silicone around the edges there where the bedrail meets the sides of the bed as well, but these spacers are a perfect fit!

 

These are aluminum skids (powder coated) from here. The skid trilogy took some gentle persuasion to install on the truck. I may end up reworking the transfer case skid/mid skid connection as it hangs a little low. Definitely not a fast install.

 

It should function like a standard turn signal bulb with no input to the drl. They also have some turn signals on closeout right now for like 40 bucks for the pair of you don't want to go all out.

As for the dim wire I believe there is just one harness. There is a wire that comes off the bulb housing with a circular connector that would connect to the harness and a wire off that that could either be spliced or you can build your own harness with the dim DRL WIRE.

 

Vinyl is done. Yeah, Punisher is common, and thin blue line, but I still dig both!

 

New shoes! These really ride nice and quite! Look great too!

 

Got my new to me 3TPAM installed yesterday.

 

Any chance you still have the file or link???

Since you installed it, have you notice any water leak inside the bed? I have been looking for a solution to keep the water out from that end. I got a tonneau cover on and no water gets inside the bed except those 2 end. Would your friend be willing to print another set? If so, how much would he be charging?

 

Shot you a message.
What tonneau cover do you have?

 

Unfortunately I just installed it today so I'll have to wait and see. Also, I live in Colorado and it doesn't rain here. I don't think it's rained here in 2 months or more so it may be a while before I get a chance to see how watertight it is.

I can message my buddy and see if he'd be willing to print another set.

 

I just bought those the other day because I was looking for a place to put my XDS also. Does it seem sturdy enough with just the 3 screws drilled into the thin plastic? I was thinking about taking the console apart to add a washer and nut to the other side.

 

Yes please. Thanks.

 

Install took around an hour, nothing too painful

 

What did you use to mount your traction boards? Those look like the X-Bull ones.

 

bad freaking ass!

 

Correct those are the X-Bull boards. I bought some steel flat bar from the home depot and cut 2 pieces to length, painted them, and drilled holes. I'm using some 1/4 bolts, 2 on each side, with these knobs from Amazon

Also, using these t-nuts from amazon and some allen head bolts with lock washers to go with.

After getting my Tacoma for me as a high school graduation present, my parents decided to add another vehicle to the family over this Christmas break!!!

 

You could always put in a rivnut or jack nut (which ever is suitable for plastic) probably the jack nut because no special tools needed and it has wide wings. Or better yet there are the rubber well nuts. I bought a whole package just to get 2, I can find out what size it was if you want
