What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

that looks good. I didn't get top plates. I'll probably do it with bed liner to give it a little texture on top to help my daughter. I'm sure she will be using it as a step.

This and shotguns for trap team and deer rifles in the fall. Those days are gone. They took away the dodge balls at my wife's school and no recess except walking in a circle for 10 minutes. Glad I grew up when I did.

 

Installed the DMM system. One of my favorite mods so far!

 

Drove into the driveway and saw this. Big deal I know.

 

So rumor is the original 2013+ 4Runner SEMA TRD Pro wheels in Black are kind of hard to find for a decent price these days. If true I guess I got lucky because a dealer down in San Diego sold me a genuine set for less than $700 shipped. These won't probably go on the truck until I need to upgrade tires, and even then I'm going to have to decide whether to just stay stock size in 265/70/17 or to raise the truck by going a modest 2"/1" lift, removing front mud flaps and then deciding on either 275 or 285 tires. At least I'll have the next year or so to decide lol...so I guess this post is more "What I'll (eventually) do to my 3rd gen Tacoma"

 

I think I finally figured out the popping noise my truck was making was the lower part of the coil hitting the sway bar. Removed the sway bar and put 33s on while I was at it. No more popping

 

I don't think I could do that. I'm pretty sure, the way I drive, I'd be listing pretty hard to port every time I take an offramp.

EDIT:
A visual aide for the non-nautical types:

 

Kudos for doing a good thing, the right thing, and being as kind about it as the circumstances allowed. It's hard to help an idiot and (speaking as a 10/10 idiot from time to time) it's hard to receive help as an idiot.

 

Added an ultra hook

 

Don’t have a pic but I found this video. Jump to 7:15 to get some ideas.

I have an '04 and been treating my frame with Fluid Film for years. I've switched to this stuff. Once it sets up, it makes a nice waxy film that last a good while.

I have a 22 Pro coming, at some point. Admittedly, I was hoping to be done with treating the frame. Thought that issue was resolved.

 

My freshman year of high school was the last year they allowed 18 year old kids to smoke on campus.

 

Picked up five of these from the FedEx store. Should hopefully be able to have tires on come Monday.

 

Damn I like those wheels.

 

They look pretty good. I'd like to know some of the specs. Specifically dimensions and weight.

 

I'm super excited to get them on the truck. Dustin at FN was absolutely awesome to work with.

I'd been playing the SCS waiting game for months. Their Instagram baiting game was getting annoying and when they do get stock in every other month (which if you're lucky might actually contain what you want) it sells out in literally 30 seconds. I was over it... And wtf happens if I need a spare wheel? Not something I wanted to mess with.

 

Bolted on a TRD skid plate this morning. No picture but you can close your eyes and imagine what it looks like.
