What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I ordered mine today. I almost hate to swap it out because I do like that dark chrome color, but I like the all black Toyota batter ha

 

Not usually a fan of the bed side decals, but, I gotta say that looks really good on the AG!

 

Thanks. I was on the fence on them myself. I think they'll look even better after I change out the tires and wheels I have on order next week.

 

Had Orange Plaza Muffler chop and relocate exhaust tip.

 

You have to crack a few eggs before you can make an omelet.

 

That’s how they came. I saw you asked for the link to them in another post so here it is!

If it's the one on Amazon Cap they were out of stock last time I checked and they didn't know when they would be available again.
I contacted the manufacturer, Dongar Industries and was told that more would be available some time in April.
That was before the shit really hit the fan with the Covid19 virus and I haven't contacted Dongar since

 

That looks bad ass. Is the reason primarily for clearance and sound?

 

Yeah I recall it being unavailable last time I looked. Was just giving him an option in case he wanted to go that route once they are available again. Got lucky and got mine just before they ran out and all the craziness came. Hard to tell when companies will be back to normal. Have a feeling its gonna be longer than all of us would like.

 

What brand of cargo rack is that?

 

Since the machine shop that was going to resurface my heads is going to be closed for awhile, I decided to do a couple of small mods. I used the TVD vinyl decals to black out my dash board and added the anti glare decals as well. It is a good thing that Rich @rrentrop added a couple of extra black vent rings because I definitely needed them. Then I installed the OEM power tailgate lock. The 20 pages of instructions were made for a 2020 Taco and mine is a 2016 so I had to be a little flexible in a couple of places. Apparently, the new trucks have a wiring harness that runs under the passenger side that my truck doesn't have so I had to zip tie the harness to the frame instead. Everything works great and it is very quiet compared to the popnlock ones.

 

Let's get some primer on them sliders!!!

 

Looks good Tom. Hope they get you your heads soon I'm anxious to hear the results of your engine mod, pretty ambitious project you've undertaken.
Nice to see you posting here!

 

Sunny an mid 70's here Bob. Sorry, didnt mean to rub it in.

 

Same same- 71 and sunny. Not sure what everyone is talking about with snow… especially when its April

 

Looks good.....That’s my next mod once I’m back to work after the virus crap. Was thinking of going with the white. Any issues installing and did u have to align the lights? Thanks

 

No problem Cap. Weather here cleared up. I was going to pick a mod and go for it but decided that I should get the greenhouse ready instead. Life has it's priorities.

I'm griping about the weather being cool and rainy now but in a couple of months I'll be bitching about how there's no shade and that it's hot as hell.

Wife says I'm like an old lion and that I need to roar very once in a while just to remind myself that I still know how.

 

Installed Toyota factory bed lights today. Because of my Diamondback, I wanted more light up front. I had some Cyclones laying around and decided to mount them in the rail. I may just surface mount these on the bed side later. I’ll also fill the hole with some black caulk or epoxy.

 

The bed bars are KBVoodoo, the basket is a cheapy from Amazon branded “max haul”

 

Installed the SokieTech no drill hood struts. It’s nice to finally have them. Quality seems good and it opens up the hood more than the prop rod.
