What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got my topper. 16 weeks from the order date. That was a test of patience! I do really like it though.



The funny thing (at least to me) is that I hated the oem decals on the truck bed, so I removed them soon after I got it. But then I was looking at decals on a site I found here and decided I just had to have the one with mountains. When I went to put them on yesterday, I had an idea...



If I had to do this over, I would definitely move the bed side sticker down a bit. I think it looks pretty cool though.

 

That looks really awesome. Tempted to do the same

 

Def. put more space between the decals. It looks ok up close, but it is too close together when viewed from a distance.

 

2020 DCSB, Picked up last September before going on deployment in December. Already have the new wheels, and full kings lift on order.

 

Was wondering are you running these on Stock gears, Anyone running 315’s on stock gears?

 

Thanks for the update and I’m glad you are happy with the LASFITs. It sounds like a good option to go with at that price. I hope they hold up well and light up many more ice cream runs for you.

 

That looks painful.

 

MESO's vent rings and probably my favorite touch for the interior of my tacoma. Looks great!

 

I put in the TC bed stiffeners too as I wanted a set that went all the way to the top.

Can't say for sure that they are better than the Rago ones but based on physics they should be.

Simple to install and cheap insurance.

 

Dropping off at the shop for some suspension work.

4WP boned me though and the UCA still haven't arrived 2wk after I was told they were en route, so now that's gonna cost a bunch more to put on after the fact...

 

Take a look at that top plate spacer.
Your factory studs are longer than the plate is thick.
Did you grind down the studs?
If not you may be sitting on the points of the factory studs.

Got this to replaced my MESO ultimate turns. It’s actually (not trying to knock) cooler “sequential” and brighter. The only thing I don’t like about this is the hyper flashing in reverse is back. The Meso ones (has built in load resistors) works well with meso total tails kit.
To be honest I never use signal on reverse often. Maybe once a year. Also I don’t drive backwards. Lol

 

So, I have been looking at these grilles and everything on the site shows "tacoma" not "taco." Do you have a link to the exact grille you have and can you tell me what it cost you?

 

Decided to end up chopping the cab mount and relocating with a @drtfabrication kit-- Solid kit for sure. Gotta finish welding up the passenger side tonight. My welder ran out of wire this am. Also laying on the ground cutting all the brackets off is a pain. Went through almost 20 cutting disks. The reciprocating saw made it must faster on the passenger side.

Still gotta smash back the firewall a bit as it's still super close. See pics.
Have a great day all. I'll post pics when it's done (both sides)

Note the welds are not pretty but they are solid as fuck. If I had a 230 plug I'd be better off. Yes I am using 75 25 Argon CO2

 

So I rode around for 20-30 minutes to get my AC to start leaking inside and it did. Went by the dealership to drop it off while it was dripping so they could see the issue and perhaps find out where it is leaking from. The Head mechanic poked his head under there and I told him it takes 20-30 minutes of driving to make the leak start. He witnessed it so I left it and got a loaner Tacoma. 2021 Sport model. I get out at home and I see this in the bed! When did this start? Neat but it does chew up your bed space dramatically. Looks like the left side may be insulated with the freeze symbol?

 

2021 Trail Editions had those bed storage units.... $750 bucks, fits very little, drains into the bed, takes up valuable space.... no thank you

 

Does brooding because today is the first day of the delivery window and no phone call yet count?

 

Did this on the way home last night from work. 285/75/16 and just cruising home, not babying the gas pedal but not doing drag launches either

 

Kind of meaningless being only a 17 mile trip.

 

I see I am not the only one with dust inside the display under the odometer knob. A puff of canned air may disperse it some but no telling what else that burst of air may cause.
