What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

swapped out cracked taillight

 

I might try the GF’s 4 runner setup one of these days then. I thought it will rub…

 

You're right, I didn't have to deal with anything JBL. Thanks for the link, I hadn't even thought about that being an option and I might just pick that up!

 

Camped in a part of the Ozark off the Mulberry river last weekend. Oil change and tire rotation today.

 

Not much compared to most but was happy to enjoy the AZ weather and install the following on Monday:
Westcott PRO collar lift (front)
Icon RXT Stage 1 rear + Archive Garage greaseable shackles
Wheelers U-Bolt Flip + Super Bumps
Shown but not installed - Icon Billet UCA (need to source misplaced spacers @ Heim joints grrr)

He makes good stuff for sure. I got my glove box inserts (I bet red would look rad in your truck!) and his coin organizer. I’ll probably upgrade to the grille overlays at some point, but for now I actually like to low pro look of the Tufskins. To each their own - eh?

 

Is that an OEM grille or aftermarket?

 

Markram - it was 7 weeks, but I picked them up. If you are getting them shipped I bet you will closer to 8 weeks, but worth the wait - really like these!

 

Removed my side steps last night (Steps now 4 sale). Got detailed this morning, it came out great. Well needed as ive never had it done in the 4 years of owning.

Claymores are good!! 'Nuff said.

 

It’s OEM. When I got the Sport, I opted for the TRD Lift which included the Pro grill.

 

I didn't do anything to mine today except drive it but I did spy a loaded for bear 2nd gen at Taco Bell.

 

That's just good fun right there

 

Can anyone give me clarification on the weight limit of the ARE overland camper shell?

 

550 lbs.

I called ARE and she told me 200lbs but the website seems to contradict it.

 

I finally went and replaced the head unit on my 2018 with a Sony XAV AX5500, plus the Enfig factory mic replacement. First impressions:

Pros:
Carplay music and navigation beat the Entune system by a country mile
Onboard amp beats the stock by a bit
Customizable steering wheel controls means I can reset it so up and down control volume and left and right control track forward/back, which has always been a pet peeve that Toyota set it up the opposite way.
Phone calls sound much better on my end

Cons:
But on the other hand, the other person says the Enfig mic sounds about 15% worse than the stock mic (on par with the stock mic in my wife's 2016 Prius). I don't make many calls but that is a little disappointing.
FM comes in fine, but I am not getting AM reception at all and I am not sure why.

 

I did a thing. I've done a ton of smaller mods throughout the years, but since I paid it off last year, I was able to work on some bigger mods this year. I didn't need a huge lift so I went with a 2.5-3" lift. I think the Tacoma looks real nice in that range.

I use it as my daily driver but like to take it out on the beach and also go dispersed camping. The racks on the Diamondback are for a roof top tent.

The raised rear differential breather is a great DIY project. Thanks to TW I bought the parts and installed it. It was interesting to find muddy water residue in the tail light cavity from previous off-road trips. I think the taillight routing is a much better solution than those who go to the gas fill cap recess.

 

3rd Gen mod for today….Bought Marvin some sunglasses (Window Tint)
