What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh no, now I have more to try and get better at?

 

It’s very similar to the Taco Garage DMM

 

I admit that this design did not come out of thin air. I have looked at a few other designs and have improved on them(IMO). It is not nearly as bulky as the TG model, has considerably less fastening holes required and the 5 RAM mount locations are spread out more evenly with consideration for the passenger to have access to a RAM mount location. With all that considered I figured perhaps a Canadian should step up and make something for TW members above the 49th and friends to the South. Just have to get it into production.

 

Got some rock sliders delivered and painted them. Now just waiting for this storm to blow over .

 

Ok, two 15 foot harnesses loomed.... never doing that again!

 

My wife said the same thing. I told her I’m working on a “project”

 

This is awesome! @Puppypunter I'm wondering if this will work for the stage 2 tails and 2020 LED headlights? Like I need something else to do! But I want...

 

Thanks, unfortunately I do not know about the fit for that cap.

 

It should work with the stage 2 tails, not sure on the OEM LED headlights though, guess he would have to make a harness that intercepts the headlight turn signal. The other option would be to do it at the c10 plug at the cluster.

 

Nice! I need this... Did you do SS brake lines all around? Any particular reason why you didn't go for the slotted or drilled rotors? And, which pads did you go with? Thx!

 

Don’t see why not. I still have your harness sitting here if you want it as an added option? I could do it up and leave a wire lead for strobe input. I’ll whip up a headlight conversion harness with it as well (so strobe input and grille light tap on one, strobe input on the other). Jsut let me know

 

Love seeing everyone's dog platforms --always gives me such good ideas to steal from you all.

 

Yes, yes and yes! Let's talk by PM with @5nahalf. I might need to get my brother involved, because I'm starting to lose track of all the options. He has the flashers, and they look rad!

 

Drilled/slotted look nice but are inconvenient offroad when the holes/slots can get full of junk.

 

Just to give you a idea of what options are in my rear harness.
- Reverse lights anytime
- license plate off in reverse
- hitch pod plug
- topper brake light tap
- strobe lights
- They are built into the meso total tails (stage 1)

Front harnesses are just strobe lights


I just finished up the long harnesses that go from the engine bay strobe controller to the rear lights so I will have my reverse anytime and strobe all done. I also ran a extra power wire with the harness that will be used probably for a rear mounted water pump to clean my kayak off in the bed.

 

I agree! Although, my last Powerstop setup here had drilled and slotted rotors. I went through a couple of these without any issues on my 2001 OR.

Here's a great post explaining some advantages/disadvantages: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/brake-upgrade-stoptech-rotors-trd-performance-pads.523829/

 

I turned 50, truck turned 50, new grill (black one) and new decals.

 

Finally got my lift installed and tires mounted.

Now my wife expects me to be done spending $$$ on my Tacoma...hah

Before...


After...

 

In case anyone else is finally thinking of getting that front bed rail...found a work around the $60+ Amazon listing, granted I picked up a few filters to get to $75 free shipping.



Rail ultimately with state tax cost me under $36 shipped.
