What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That’s clean and your system is going to knock.

 

Filled up gas tank yesterday…

 

I guess you will be eating ramen noodles today lol

Finishing up my Stereo Upgrade install and the wife is making flower beds, beautiful day out!

 

Soldered a momentary switch to a garage door opener, kind of half-assed it because of time. Didn't take pics until the end and need to go back to wire the switch to come on with the dash lights. I ordered a 12v - 3v step down that I'm going to add to eliminate the battery, so that's a future mod too. I also swapped out the interior lightbulbs for led.

 

I’m out in Arizona for another week. Love the triple digit temps. Driving up to the Grand Canyon tomorrow. No rain and blue sky, what not to like.

I use the cargo light harness for switch illumination. I’m over adding add a fuses and much cleaner. Also use the ect harness for center switches.

 

Oh nice, I like that a lot. Question though, I'm also going to be adding add the rock light hardness from DSIM that uses the cargo light harness as well. Any opinion on whether stacking both inline would be bad? In my head, the plugs would match up but just because they fit together doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

ETA....sorry, I just realized you're not the one making those harnesses, I may ask the same in that thread.

 

I put the rack and tent back on for the season Friday, does that count?

 

I would think you could stack them.
The rock lights are using a separate power source. Just using the switch as a controller

 

Clean install.

Forgive me if you've covered this elsewhere...did you wire this to a switch panel/SPOD/SP?? TIA.

EDIT: dug into your build thread...MESO eight bay SP...got it.

 

Installed ditch lights.

 

Tacoma finally has trailer brakes. Also Inthink I should wash it but about to head up to Canada maybe next time... i've washed it 4 times now in 3 years and just rolled over 60k!

 

That looks exactly like what I’m after. So does she have a lift? I have 265/75r16’s coming this week and I have SCS -10 wheels and I’m concerned about rub.

 

Installed Meso Customs puddle pod lights today, took 3 hours, hardest part is running wires through door OEM rubber to the inside of the cab. Started early before the heat started here in Southern California
Big thanks to Coopscustoms1221 for the great price and fast shipping!!!!!

 

Wanted a pair of the predator style steps for my truck so I went to the local junkyard and found a pair. The passenger side was fine but the drivers side had been hit and struck rearwards from the some sort of t-bone collision or something.

The tube was in good shape so I paid 107 with tax for the both of them and then spent about 3.5 hours working on the driver side rail. Each hanging bracket and the front step all had to be cut off, straightened and then welded back on. Lots of time checking fitment before and after the welds to make sure all the bolt holes would still line up.


The front step took an additional weld the fix the hanger portion as well. It’s not perfectly OEM but it’s darn near unnoticeable now.

Just gotta put some paint on it and I’ll be set.

 

Redecorating my bed again. Built some Rotopax mounts to get the cells up of the floor and make them lockable. Countersunk flathead screws into 3/8” T-nuts and 1/4” x 4” aluminum plate. Added some high density tape since I’ve had Rotopax cells wear through in the past from vibration. Very sturdy on just the bed rail, resting on the fender well.

 

We are indeed! Our kids (well, they're not kids anymore) are the same age.

What I could go for to view "serenity". Thanks for the photo.

In my military career, our family lived in:

Wethersfield & Mildenhall England 1989-93
Abilene, Texas 93-99
Hickam AFB, Oahu Hawaii 99-2003
Ramstein, Germany 2003-06
Dover, Delaware 2006-08

As a Logistics guy, I was able to have assignments wherever a "Base Supply Squadron" lived...which, who doesn't need Supply?

We had our family young...wife was 19 and I was 24 when first daughter was born.

Enjoy my brother!!!
