What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That’s a good looking Taco!

 

Viper cut done. No more bullshit rub on the front fender liner.

 

Mine looks similar to yours Clazzio seat covers. No cutting just massaging

 

It was a tad light for what we were doing but it worked. Wheel bearing seals were a weak point. We found a couple of 3 seat/row of seats from an airplane and had them in the bed for moving the crew from town to camp or we removed them and could load 10 drums of diesel (I could carry 3 drums diesel and 2x100lb propane bottles in my Hilux). Dry season was a 3.5hr 70 mile trip from town to camp in the Hilux, 5hrs in the Unimog. Rainy season it just depended on how many times you had to winch out of a mudhole. 11+ hrs was my longest trip.

Mud



Camp

 

Today I did the 50K service. Oil and filter, check fluids, etc. I also replaced my wiper blades. Went ahead and removed the wiper arms and the cowling to clean underneath it and around the cabin air intake. It was pretty nasty with nearly three years of gunk getting down in there. The cowling is not hard to remove, but be advised it's super easy to break the clips holding it under the windshield. I snapped a couple with not a lot of force trying to get it out.

 

That’s some serious mud there. I try to avoid those kind of conditions but I understand when it comes to work you gotta do what you gotta do. New Year’s Eve I purposely went out in some thick slippery stuff for fun; I was lucky to make back to the paved road. It was nighttime and there were a couple of Highway Patrolman parked where the paved road ends. Don’t think they would’ve been much help if I would’ve got stuck (need to get a front bumper and winch). My arms were tired by the time I got back to the pavement and one of the patrolman said I have the right truck for it. I agree but it was honestly a but puckered ride! That camp looks pretty cool.

 

The RTT covers up my third brake light so I wired one into the bed rack.

 

I don't think I've seen those wheels before. What are they? I like them.

Upstate SC with NC plates.....

 

You can do it, excellent ROI with this mod.

 

Got around to swapping the 3rd brake with the Tacoma lifestyle unit. Install was a pita but looks good and is much brighter!

 

Dealership name/location? I’m in LA (lower Alabama, aka FL panhandle) and it might be worth the drive. TIA.

Lol I know it’s kind of ironic. That NC plate is a replica of the one seen on The Andy Griffith Show. My favorite show ever. It’s funny when people occasionally ask me about it, since it looks nothing like the current NC tags haha.

 

That's funny. I was wondering why it didn't look like normal NC plates. Cool plate, I likie.

 

Installed CaliRaised Bed Stiffners, a cup holder to my AllPro inside tailgate cover and bolted in my SnapSafe under bed safe which is inside my bed.

 

I thought about putting some on my side windows as well.

 

I did the Cali Raised bed stiffeners today too!
