What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like the color matched window visors!

 

TRX style scoop lights. Wired them to turn on with the fog lights with an H11 splitter. Haters gunna hate.


For the non-haters curious about how I did this...

Raptor Lights:

Universal Raptor Light Brackets:
- Used multiple pieces of double sided tape to "mount" the brackets to the scoop and get the thickness/height I wanted.

H11 Splitter to tap into driver side Fog Light:
- Cut off the connector for one side of the splitter and wired to Raptor Lights.
- Had to "flip the wires" on other connector to plug into into the fog light properly (if you don't do this, power and ground will be backwards and wont work).

Is this the newer OEM led fogs?

 

Drove mine just over 2,200 miles round trip to Tx from Fl. She did well and only a few new scrapes, but it happens. However almost back home and in Pensacola someone decides to merge into my lane about 30 mph but still manages to trade a little paint on my passenger side. What a way to wrap up my trip. Highway Patrol shows up and cites him for the accident. He’s not happy and decides to tell me “F-U man” infront of my woman and the female highway patrol officer. I loose my cool in an instant but the officer quickly dissolves the situation and orders him to leave. Now I need to go to the body shop, get an estimate, mess with the insurance company, Yada yada yada. Glad no one was hurt or got hurt once he started popping off at the mouth.

will post pics in the AM

 

Used it all weekend to move to our new house. Did a great job with the 6x12 U-Haul trailer loaded. Also brought home a 65" TV with it and a 9 foot butcher block for computer desk.

 

Took the taco up a big hill today

 

Where in SoCal did you move to?

 

We bought our first home in Sunland/Lake View Terrace area.

 

Nice, congrats!

 

Looks good. Any chance you have a pic of the actual wiring, or where you tapped in to? I need to do something similar, and figure out which is best to tap.

 

Thank you! This is the cheapest they come, right?

 

You can see from this other picture how bananaed the plastic cover was from light use. The tailgate is weak.

 

The backgrounds in your photos scream Provo, UT. Am I right?

 

It's an auction so it's gonna run it's course and someone is getting a nice Taco.

you're the highest bidder so far. just another 6.75 days to go

 

I'm hoping I get outbid as I'm more bumping your auction to get the price up. With everything I've done to mine so far the wife isn't going to be happy if I drop a bunch of money on a second taco.....lol

 

You are correct sir! I’m visiting the area for a few days while on break from school in Idaho. Good eye!

 

Sorry to hear you have to sell, Rob. Much respect for putting family first and I hope you get a fair price for the ol' gal.
