What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Heyo, I've been lurking for a while, since before I got this beauty in December. Since then ive been doing minor things here and there but this week I got a lot more done.
You best believe I got some chalk bag cup holders
Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners
Yakima Outpost HD
Tepui Kukenam 3
Interior light kit
OEM tailgate lock
OEM roof rack
OEM bed lighting
Plasti-dip emblems
Next I just neeed to giver a wash, but its been raining all week
I'm thinking next on my list is interior chrome delete and head/tail-light swaps

 

I've been thinking of doing this too. Did you buy the kit from DD? Are the plugs compatible? And did you buy replacement fog light surrounds for a non-TRD-PRO from Toyota? Thanks in advance.

 

I purchased direct from Diode Dynamics. I would probably contact @memario1214 if I was in the market again, since I have had good experiences purchasing through him. Plugs are 100% plug and play. I also purchased the surrounds from a non TRD Pro. You can swap everything from the top side, and it’s even easier if you remove the grille (rather than doing it from underneath).

 

Swapped out the stainless screws/washers in my MESO Rear Storage Rack with black oxide screws/black fiber washers.

Thank You! Even Better, I like that I can create my own emblem to put in there.

 

Steering wheel spacer?

 

Yes.

 

Does this work if you dont have a sunroof?

 

No, this is the sunroof version. MESO makes a version for trucks without sunroofs.

Interested as well. I dont like the front to back version

 

MESO's goes side to side.

 

Ohhhh youre right. But the sunroof one looks better. What makes it not fit?

 

I guess its not having the mount points by the rear cab light that is in a different place.

 

The steering column is already telescopic?

 

Dome light is in a different spot on the trucks without sunroofs.

 

Had that same issue with a power steering pump on a semi. It was glowing red and kept reigniting the leaking fluids. We kept it knocked down until a passing cement truck stopped and broke out his water. Saved an owner / operators rig.

 

Where did you get this spacer from?

 

It is, but barely. When I got mine I was surprised at how little you can actually adjust it.

 

Ive been thinking of getting the waterport weekender, between being able to rinse off the kayaks, sandy feet, and putting out fires, I think having it on the truck always ready is nice. 8 gallons should be enough to knock down most small fires.

I just need to figure out a mounting location for it. I think between my bed basket and the fishing pole rack would be a perfect spot.

 

I prepped for a @MESO overhead rack. Mounted the fire extinguisher mount and painted the screw heads. Install tonight.
