What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

None of the above and I'm not saying that this is factory paint/powder coat but if you're looking to touch up your accessory rails OR as in my case mounting accessories in your bed this paint has the same sheen and texture that the OEM rails have on them.

Finally getting around to mounting my recovery treads. Pics and what I did once done. A little over the top by some folks standards but I think they turned out very well. More on that later. Added a 2nd bed head accessory rail........, yup I said two. Now they're mounted securely with no banging against the bed when stopping and taking off.

With the exception of the 2nd rail everything is either aluminum or stainless.

If it stops raining I'll be able to remove and paint the second rail where I cut roughly 7" off each end to fit. And I have plans for the 7" pieces so there is no waste. Thought this thru for some time to achieve the result that I was looking for.

 

Few. Thank you Erick and John! My heart is beating again. I thought we might have found another rust source.

 

No rust Tom you can relax Buddy!!
Nothing more than me over engineering a project to satisfy my OCD.
I'm a fussy little shit!

Applied with a little soapy water and they came out damn near perfect

 

Installed my ss3 sport fogs

 

Is that tire marked Right Rear? Sometimes nothing works better than some percussive maintenance applied with a BFH.

 

I used the Tacoma for a little announcement.

 

Fyi, I swap out my OEM rims for steel ones with winter rated rubber every year. Each time I clean the matting surfaces and threads and then apply some graphite based anti-seize. Each year, the rim comes off with no issue.

 

I thought the Switch Pro was just too expensive so I found this unit instead for a fraction of the cost on Amazon.

 

Congrats new arrive

 

My OCDness won’t allow that. So I’m afraid Switch-Pros is getting my money. I know it’s pricey, but the ability to set the color and brightness to match the rest of the panel with trigger wires for day/night dimming is a huge selling point. Made in America being another.

Edit: ...but it may be a good option for others, thanks for posting!

 

Congratulations

 

Congrats.

 

Fully equipped customized Tacoma
& a fully custom carbon Specialized fatbike!!

 

Where did you get such a tiny light bar? its like a RC car one.

 

Umm I could of swore anything on the threads was a no no. If only for the torque spec I doNt know. Now I do the mating surface for sure

 

Congrats!!!!

 

Is that some kind of "fancy" running board? Tell us about that. Also, what is special about the tub from the air filter to the intake?

 

Vinyl wheel decals until I get my wheels tires and lift, Meso puddle pods, Meso ultimate turn signal, cement insert letters, MESO blacked out kit, Cali raised tail lights. Not all done today but over the course of about two weeks. Can’t wait to get more done to it, it’s so addictive once you start!

 

May I get a link please? How difficult was it to take on the Toyota emblems?
