What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can you provide information on the front hitch/bracket system? Is that for being towed, or for load bearing (i.e, snowplow or front rack?)

@imagineer That is for my personal snowplow. I only do my own driveway, nothing else.

 

Redline Hood Struts and 20K oil change this morning.

 

Yeah, I noticed.

Thanks. Can you provide a manufacturer or model #. I have a plow kit from a recently sold Jeep TJ and would like to try and retrofit it onto my Tacoma.

 

Did some things, build thread was one of them over the last week...also did a "Face/Off" bumper swap to start off the weekend, couldn't pass it up...SSO Slimline Hybrid + Stage 1 bumper.

No cutting involved with swapping color matching bumper pieces + huge savings and no lead time = Win in my book!
I know the replacement clips and double sided tape arrive today...I busted (before or during install swap) the side retention bracket, and it should be arriving this week.

 

The orange trim is dope isn’t it? My white truck has it too. Can’t even imagine it without it.

 

Enjoying these new silicone key FOB covers. Stops my keys from sliding off the table as I pass thru the metal detectors at work. Has a good feel to them and maybe provide a little drop protection.

Installed a cheap waterproof roof box.
I used a Ridgid tool box (https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-22-in-Pro-Organizer-Black-222571/205440492) and temporarily bolted it down with m6 bolts and rubber coated pipe clamps. I have been using these tool boxes for years at work and they can definitely handle being abused but we will see how they handle going 80 mph down the interstate sideways.

I have stainless pipe clamps, larger stainless flat washers, stainless flat top m6 bolts, and stainless nylock nuts on order. Once I get my new hardware I will reinstall the box and install a second box on the other side of the basket, just to keep the look balanced.
The cost of both the boxes, all the stainless hardware, and a set of 4 master locks is still less than just the cost of a Plano AW 36" gun case.

 

Smart use of those boxes, was looking to upgrade my camp kitchen 'Brute' bin into a few of these that can be stacked and wheeled...I'd be interested in your feedback and the results after you get the new hardware installed and through a few interstate rain storm trips!

 

I should be getting my hardware on Wednesday so after I get both final installed I'll take it through the touch free carwash to see how they handle high pressure blasts. And on Saturday I will be driving to Missouri, 600 miles of interstate, so I will give an update then on how the boxes handled all day high speed driving.

 

Put some vinyl on today. Hood, roof and tailgate.

 

I'm intrigued. I may use this box to combine first aid and recovery gear since it has organizers. Interested in hearing the review

 

Yes!!!

Now to buy a roof rack!

 

DIY or had someone do it?

 

I was recommended a shop. I'm not talented enough for this, and if I didn't get it perfect, I would've lost my mind.

 

Same. I have had some wrap sitting around for about a year but I have the same paranoia haha

 

Received my Expedition Essentials Power accessory mount and finally installed my phone holder, ham radio and CB installed. Not too thrilled with the mount. Top taps don’t go back into the dash. Have to take a look at it next weekend. Also, the USB was a pain to install. Should snap out so if I have to take it off, the wired section isn’t attached to the mount...... But it does keep everything organized.

 

Nice setup! I love their new USB port. Kind of jealous of it. I mostly hate the bright blue LED on the original
