What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted if you make progress. Just had a beer myself.

 

By the grace of God, I still love my job and going to work. I work 14 hour days eight days straight, then get 6 off. Next year I’ll have been at it for 30 years.

 

Installed Bed stiffeners today as a team sport with the dog and a cement colored ring chrome delete kit.

 

Still like mine too but after 15 years of 6PM to 6AM those hours have grown old. On the up side I hope to be only a year or so away from retirement depending on if my 401k comes back. Spun the wheel on high risk investments and was doing just fine but who saw this coming? Just another bump in the road of life.
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.

 

Finished sound deadening and thermal insulating the doors, took about 2 days. Pita for sure, the doors are not fun. I never took photos really cuz it's more of a "get it done cuz it's not fun" deal. Noico solutions 80 mil deadening, and green 170 mil sound insulation.

Also got around to finishing up my auxiliary fuse panel. Can't find a place open right now for battery cable to finish the instal.

 

Like those tires. What size and make?

 

Took advantage of the nice weather here in Illinois and mounted my new wheels(16" TRD Pros) and a replica TRD Pro grill and grill lights. Next up is to try and find a set of Quicksand painted rear bumper caps.

 

If I had any other option I would! My house is at min. Set backs- (actually slightly less) at 4-5 ft on both sides (not like that matters because 1 side is blocked by the a/c unit) then the gate is obviously smaller.

I just moved maybe 1/3 to the back and I’m feeling it. I actually dont think I’ll have enough either now that the pile is getting down.

 

Added AVS window visors and swapped the interior bulbs with LED’s.

 

They're 255/85/16 Maxxis Bighorns

 

Added Lamin-X Amber film to my Rigid fog lights!

 

I’m willing to bet that you have an extra set of jumper cables lying around. Just sayin.

 

Awesome and thanks for sharing!! Just ordered mine.

 

Did the Prinsu rack bolt replacement that has been outlined here:https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/alternate-hw-extras-etc-for-prinsu.498163/

Very simple install, just replace bolts, I also used "amazing roll off" even a q-tip in the threads (those were nasty...) this got rid of surface rust and no rinse cleaner after all said and done. Also anti-seize on the new bolts.

The only before and after pic that matters is this one old bolts, cheap upgrade and I don't want all this rust dripping on my paint after a rain. I live in Colorado, it's pretty dry out here...

 

Got a new ARB awning for $100 at an auction a few months ago and finally got around to mounting it up just to test it out. Pretty nice!

 

Very nice!

 

Cant find the post anymore. I saw a conversation somewhere on TW about trim molding. Seemed like the perfect idea to whore up my door panels, which matches my whored up meso kit.

 

I would have put my new tube steps on today but UPS has managed to misplace a 5' long. 70 pound box for the last day and a half.

 

Good luck. The last thing I received from UPS was "delayed" because they damaged the box(has to re-package) and lost some parts inside.

 

Was thinking of doing the same but in blue or chrome. It's funny how some ideas just catch on like wildfire on this forum.
