What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Gave her a long overdue bath (I'm so glad I got her ceramic coated. Looks like I just waxed it also). I also installed the Liberty 4x4 console molle panels. Mounted my G19. After some convincing, it fit just fine.

 

I torqued mine.

Here’s the install information.

Beautiful, clean truck!

 

I finally got around to putting in an additional reverse / scene light and Wheeler Superbumps / U-Bolt flip kit. Both were pretty straight forward, the light is wired to my Switch Pro. The light is a LightForce ROK20 Ultra flood flush mount. For those not familiar, LightForce has been huge in off road lighting primarily in Austrailia for well over 30 years and builds super nice stuff (my 30" lightbar and rock lights are also LightForce). I still may make an L bracket for the tow plugs to be relocated behind the bumper so I can use the OEM spot for a second reverse light, however I'm on the fence on that as I like the asymmetrical look of just the one. We shall see.

As for the Wheeler kit, haven't been too hard on the bumps just yet, so the jury is out on how big the improvement is (everyone claims it is huge)... I mainly really like how much cleaner it looks with out all that snag-factor going on under the rear axel...

 

Use that front+rear system more! Did you know the owner’s manual recommends engaging and using 4 wheel drive for ~10miles on a monthly basis? Enjoy your taco

Aight. 11111 pages in too

 

Oh, yeah I read that in the manual when I got it. However, I don't have time nor any inclination to go off road often. Too many other hobbies that take precedence. I have a feeling it will be just fine if I don't do it often *shrug*

 

One of the best colors for sure! What AAL did you got with? What is your hub to fender height?

 

For sure! It probably will while new but keep it in mind when your truck is 10+ years old. I live in a salt air area and I see on a daily basis how things age - grease helps!

 

Oh, I get a new truck every few years. Ill probably keep this one less than 5 years .But I totally get what you're saying and gotta exercise it to make it work and maintain it well

 

Ah, thank you!!!!

 

You do you. Never once had to clean my factory mats and they are more than a year old. I’ve had WeatherTecs before and they drained off on to my carpet too easily in rainy country.

 

Wow, nice! What do you think of the Tacoma?

 

Thanks for sharing the pics of the gear attic!

 

It fits my needs right now. Those needs are a small truck that fits in the garage with my car and motorcycle and is reliable. I came from a platinum f150 and the interior on the Tacoma just doesn't compare at all. I also miss the size of the full size on the interior especially back seat area. But for now this truck is great and fits the bill. With the girlfriend it is fine but if I had kids I would sell it in a second as its too small IMO for a family.

edit: I have no regrets buying this truck and have been enjoying it, as I knew exactly what I was getting

 

Smashed my rear bumper last night saving a Jeep from some serious shit and then towing him a mile up one of the worst muck trails I’ve ever been on in my life so I got this today.

 

can I turn page 11111?
