What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Matte Black here.

Been searching and searching for a 5th wheel.

 

Polished every individual lug nut to help with corrosion and finished my sticker collection.

 

What wheels ae those. Dang I like those.

 

Thanks, they are Volk TE37X.

 

@MESO head light trim ordered.

 

Swapped my halogen headlights for the OEM LED ones. Also swapped the fog lights to the blacked out OEM LEDs while I was at it, so everything would match. I used the @daveeasa conversion harness, which has a tap for the grille lights. His kit is rock solid, and even included replacement clips for the fender flares (which I ended up needing to use on both sides).

The headlights and fog lights came from Sparks Parts. Was about $1400 shipped to my door for the driver and passenger sides and the fog lights. They arrived well packed, with extra packing material in the boxes to prevent the tabs from breaking during shipping.

I also installed my Meso headlight trim plates at the same time. It took me forever to finally bite the bullet and fork over the dough for this mod, but I'm so happy I did. I drove around for an hour after the sun went down, just so I could enjoy the upgraded lighting. I also spent at least an hour just admiring the new look after I got it all installed. I ran out of time to get my Meso V5 turn signals installed today, so I'm stuck with these lousy V4s for at least another day

Before and after:

 

All minor stuff:
Seat covers
2nd set of Carpet mats - first ones on my last truck wore out after 10 yrs...so got them cheap now
Bed mat
Tonneau cover (Pace Edwards Switchblade)
Bed divider - no good now with tonneau installed (For sale $150)
Bed lights - MUST HAVE!!
2nd set of OEM rims c/w Toyo Open Country AT3 rubber (not yet on the truck till Hunting season/winter arrives)
decal of mountains over the door Tacoma - added 5hp
ceramic coat
going in Monday for full paint protection on hood & front areas
All I need now is to update the radio knobs but we can't seem to get them in Canada like you US brothers

 

Wow those headlights look really nice! Huge difference!

 

may I ask who made that bumper?

 

Love it

 

I got the rear bumper and rock sliders on today. A buddy and my son helped. Still need to figure out the front bumper

It is the Body Armor Hiline series.

Looks stellar! Planning on doing the same. By chance, could you post a pic of the wiring where the light harness and switch meet?

 

RAV4 knob on the left and stock on the right. Pretty small mod, but these bigger rubber coated knobs are so much nicer and the fact that they are illuminated is a plus.

 

Absolutely! Hit me up if you need any guidance with the install. Shouldn’t take a few minutes, if I knew then what I know now.

Just a touch of domed Graphite applied ...

 

Went from SnugTop topper with custom drawers under a sleeping platform, to a RTT. This gave me back my entire bed space to use.

I finished my bed setup (for the most part) this weekend.

Redid the whole power to the bed, used the small cubby on the passenger side for the fuse block. All bed power runs off the second battery w/solar on the hood.
Added bed LED strips up under the tonneau sides.
Added a Kicker audio system in the bed, speakers mounted directly in the bedside, amp mounted to the passenger side bedside molle panel.
Added the OEM large cubby to the drivers side and just finished an On Board Water setup from @ProForce in said cubby:

I decided to put the quick disconnects outside the cubby, off the drivers side bedside molle panel. This allows me to have a more permanent water input setup. I can fit the larger orange water hose and spray head inside the cubby. And I can close the cubby with the pump in action so it keeps the noise down (but its not very noisy either way). I added an additional quick disconnect to the hose spray head side, so I can add an RV faucet at some point in the future.

Power for the bedside LED strips is wireless. I use a second one of these to control the rack lights as well. 1 remote has 4 buttons so you can run up to 4 of these units from a single remote. You can't beat these for price and function:

Power for the amp is switched from the power panel on the small cubby (green LED rocker).
Power for the On Board Water is switched from the power panel on the small cubby (blue LED rocker).

Do they just pop right off and pop right on?
