What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

In freaking PA, they won’t repair a chip in the “driver’s sight line.” Have to replace the whole freaking windshield... Although, I’m OCD enough that a repaired chip in my sight line would drive me crazy, so it works out...

 

Front Seat Jackers installed, both driver and passenger side. 1 beer job, helps to have a buddy to assist. I like how they make the seats feel more like car bucket seats, no long trips planned until Memorial Day, so time will tell. Great company to deal with, super responsive.

 

Imo, the side bed decals of the 1st Gen TRD were the best. Hoping to remove my 3rd Gen stickers this spring and install 1st Gen stickers.

 

I traded it. Here's to a new Voodoo Blue ACLB. Getting the red canopy wrapped in a few weeks.

 

Yeah, that stuff is sticky, they eat flowers and puke honey, the poop is so sticky. I know someone that has a couple hives and that car is fucked. I learned where not to park at that house.

 

I hear ya. It was really bugging me at first but I noticed after driving for a bit, it wasn't right in my line of sight specially when I'm focusing to my direction. But glad it was repairable. Thx to the state of Idaho! lol

 

It’s also very acidic.

 

Rosie the robot.

 

Installed the oem roof rack on Friday. Use silicone or better yet “silaprene” gray around the bolts and brackets to the cab they will leak. Came back from a trip on Sunday morning to find it leaking on both sides after a rain storm. Also as an FYI the bolts that mount the rack to the cab bracket are m6x20mm 1.00 pitch. Just in case one strips one out and you need to get new ones at your local true value hardware store.

 

1. LaminX fog stickers (until I finish school in a year and can put money into higher quality lighting.
2. R4T remote tailgate lock (no more flimsy key)
3. MESO map lights (the little bulbs suck)

Spent some time with the old man and made my Tacoma a little more “mine”... even though everyone does these mods.

 

Finally got the car seat situation figured out. Only took trying every car seat available to me (4 in total) but I found one that fits without greatly affecting front seat comfort.

 

It does look like Rosie from the Jetsons.

 

When the kids get a bit older, grab some of these. They fit in the rear door pockets when not in use.

Remember doing this with an '02 Tundra Access Cab (Pre-Double Cab & CrewMax). I have twins, so there was no avoiding me eating the steering wheel if I had to take them anywhere. I'm glad those days are behind me.

 

You are OLD if you know that reference . Wait. How do I know that?!

 

I'm currently looking for a replacement seat for my toddler. The one I have that is supposed to grow with her, is too damn big. Actually, the base is too damn big, which puts her legs right up against the front seats. Every slim one I find, the wife shoots down for not being safe.

On another note, tell me more about those headrest monitors. Are they stand alone, or do you have a hidden DVD player somewhere? How do you power them?

 

They are standalone dvd headrest displays. You press a button on the front and the display opens upwards to allow inserting a dvd. Each headrest has 1 AV output and 2 AV inputs as well for auxiliary devices. I currently have them connected together with hidden wiring so that what one child is watching can easily be displayed on the opposite headrest and vice versa. I really like them from a technology standpoint (image quality, inputs, outputs…), however they do not go up and down as smoothly as the OEM headrests and the headrest post are a smaller diameter than OEM, requiring you to use the included spacer inserts. I really like them and I never move my headrest up or down, so that one negative aspect doesn’t bother me. I got them on Amazon and they aren’t sold there anymore. Just google “BOSS Audio HIR70BGTA”.
Oh the TRD decals I added myself by the way.
Hope that helps.

edit: regarding power, I have wire run to the fuse box under the dash and used an add a fuse off the power outlet no 1 fuse. So far no problems in a year being set up that way. Well once I found a solid ground after the first week I have had no problems that is.

 

Oooooh Bob, @RivetNutBob where are you?

It's past time to check in and say hello.

Wishing you the very best.

 

I fckin love those seat covers

 

I’m sorry I scratched at that wound.
