What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cali raised isn’t on there? That’s shocking. Must be they were number 15?

 

Not sure. I should probably check the date of the article. When I get to sliders, I will make a more comprehensive list of all of the options. For example, I have been keeping a running list of tailgate covers and roof racks. Don't have everything, of course, but a pretty wide sample. I may need to create the same for sliders. And, yes, Cali raised would be on there!

For example, here is the tailgate list so far:

Great list.

I should have waited a bit longer to research as you have compiled a very good list for the tailgate plate. I went with snailarmor in the end.

 

You made a good choice. I haven't decided yet mostly because I am busy and mostly because I have other things I am doing with ... and to .. the truck. The Snail Armor product looks to be pretty good and comes in less than the sort of leader / benchmark Mountain Hatch. I only have two reservations on the Snail Armor: 1) It doesn't have the cup holders, although that is not a deal breaker because I am not sure that I actually need them and 2) The logo is a bit big for my tastes (just my opinon).

Have to say I am leaning toward the GarFab one, however.

 

Do it

 

Got a tire replaced that picked up a nail last week. Gotta love those discount tire certificates. Also got an alignment done as well.

 

Decided to finally splurge for tint.

 

Finally got around to having the exhaust reroute done! Plaza Muffler in Orange SoCal 714-639-6460
Westminster SoCal 714-891-4050 and Santa Ana SoCal 714-547-0202
They did a great job and the price was great $100 cant go wrong!


Just the top piece is mine.

 

Detailed the outside of the wheels with Meguiars ceramic detail spray and Chemical Guys tire shine. The Meguiars spray is easy to apply and remove and leaves a nice slick surface so hopefully next time they’re easier to clean and dust won’t stick as easily. The tire shine has been my favorite so far and I’ve tried a ton of them for all my vehicles. This one does not sling off and stays on even during rain but easily comes off with soap and water or your drive through car wash. First wheel pic is before the detail spray and second pic is afterwards. Hard to tell in the pics but it is a much deeper rich clean and shine to the wheels

 

That’s a fine rig you have there, sir!

 

Thanks Troy just trying to keep up with your beast!

 

This dude loves his Tacoma

So. Update. Replaced the 85 lbs battery! Felt like a lot more! Lol. Checked the charge and all that and it was good to go. Hooked it all up and nada. No clicking. All lights, radio, brake lights, fuses, all look good. Tried shifting around tapping on relay. Its a 2020 trd pro, supercharged, lights all around, garage kept with 20k miles. Oh well......what next? Tap starter while having wife push start? Maybe. Pita....sorry to gripe.

 

Just curious what lift and tire size? Looks amazing!

 

We all are now dumber

 

Added a seat protector/dog platform as well as a portable trash can. The trash can is very handy and can store extra grocery bags.

 

Do you have a link for the seat protector?

 

Yeah, sorry forgot to link it.

Drove it to work today and had a conversation with a co-worker about an issue he had at a car wash. Supposedly this car wash was safe for any type of roof rack but as you can see it caused damage to his. They will be paying for it but I just wanted to post so others could be aware if they do this.

 

On my list as well! Looks great!!
