What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

Man!

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
Aviano, Italy 2008-2011

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!!!

 

Made this today.

Just a 3D printed hitch cover. I colored it black with a paint pen after I installed it.

 

You won't miss it.

 

Finally have some down time and have to get some stuff done before I close the shop for the move. Back panel for my half shell finally going in, just have to powder coat all the pieces and they will be ready for install

 

Installed the Icon stage 4 yesterday. Ran into an issue with the passenger side lower shock mount bolt. I've searched and searched and can't find a firm answer in a replacement part. Can anyone confirm this part number? Thanks!

 

Thank you for for the check list... I am going to try to get to every one of of these places this year

 

What type of lights do you have mounted under the tailgate? I like that location.

 

Used mine as a moving truck today. Got some few scratches on the bed. Supposed to get the new wheels yesterday but there was a delay on the shipment

 

Changed the Diff oil front and back at 37249 miles. Oil looked a little brownish I didn't think it looked too bad. The magnets on the other hand appeared to be at capacity therefore I think I'll change again at 60,000 miles. Used valvoline 100% synthetic 75W90 in front and Mobile 1 75W90 in rear, went to more than a few car parts places to source the Mobile 1 but gave up after the 4th. Next weekend tcase and transmission get Amsoil changes.
