What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up a bunch of metal to make my kayak bars for my bed. Then I realized I need them to be better than "eye balled" so I ordered some premade bed rail mounts that I can just bolt my bars to. Once those show up I will drill some holes in the end of each bar to line up with the mounts and then just run a bolt through each one.

 

Not a dumb question. Never feel bad about asking, someone here will step up and answer your questions. If I don't know I ask, that's how we all learn.
Welcome to TW Bud!

 

Thanks it’s perfect for camping out.

 

Would love to see the setup once done...

 

The dome light is 130 and the map lights are 92. Now that’s it’s dark i think the level is perfect.

 

Put a Demello front bumper on the trail limo.

 

Ill post pictures as I go. Right now I am trying to decide if I should bolt the crossbars to the bed channel mounts or if I should weld them down. Either one would work the same, but since the bed sides should never really move away from the stock position, I am leaning more to welding the bars. I will leave a very small gap so that they are easy to put in and remove.

 

Had to cut out the bumper and inner fender and reshape with the heat gun. So far it seems like I got rid of the front rubbing. Hopefully I won’t have any rubbing on the rear.

 

Nice work man what lift/tire combo are you running?

 

@gabbo2112 Thanks I have a ReadyLift 3/2 with BFGOODRICH 285/75R16.

 

Last day of good weather for awhile so i got the hood struts on

 

Nice grill, I've never seen one like that before looks good.

 

Thank you! I was doing a lot of shopping around and when I saw this, I had to get my hands on it. Definitely worth it!

 

Any problems with the TSS sensor?

 

Oh man those red letters look awesome with the army green cw

 

Seems like nobody really answered your question so hear goes. - "deadening doors" is putting sound deadening material / mats inside to doors and other outer surfaces like the roof and floorboards. This greatly improves the sound of your speakers and the rest of your sound system. I haven't done it because it seems like a royal PITA to me but it's generally agreed that the results make it worth it.

 

After neglecting my Taco for 9 wks finally took her out. Noticed just turned 20k after 3.5yrs. Here's a pic of my daily view. Lake is usually almost full by now which would be just 50ft from truck. Had to zoom in to see the white capped mountain with all the haze in the air.

 

No I don’t but they also stopped making them Last I was told.

Here’s pictures (compare the last 2 to see the minor crack on the corner. Screw still holds the panel though) I’ll put this up for sale tonight… discounted

 

I didnt have to remove them...so yes they did survive. Going to order some bushwacker fenders and get them painted up I think.

 

Bolt them.
