What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just added Meso stage 1
Putting a Softopper on this weekend (gets here tomorrow!)
Anyway, figured until third brake install, I think much better visibility over stock tail lights

 

One of my loaner Tacomas had that installed from the factory. When I had the month-long AC drip inside the cab saga.

 

So i have 2 used method wheels off Craigslist and 2 new wheels from Amazon. The fake bead lock bolts are faded on the used wheels...... So im trying a lil Somthing.....

 

Making a plywood tonneau for a road trip in a couple weeks got the frame made up and bolted in after work today.

 

So my brother in law saw this on another Taco and thought I (being a huge Star Wars nerd) needed it on mine.
Just did a debadge last week but this deserves a place on the Taco.

 

Found in the Vintage section on ebay, Stant #10504:



I also ordered a @MESO V2 Gasshole to accommodate the aftermarket design.

 

Thank you! Your truck awesome out there on the trails!

 

Now that I have my sliders I’ll have even better trail pics.

 

How long have you had it? Any engine light issues?

 

So couple mods and upgrades. Had a slight mishap yesterday that justified me buying a new lincoln electric welder. ...and other stuff. As I was on my way to a service call for a dude broke down, I realized I, too, was broke down. Sigh. I walk out my garage and see my taco angled a strange way that only drifters in the JDM world would circle jerk to. The factory weld for the strut tower ON THE FRAME had broke. Hell yeah nothing like a truck with 84k on the clock breaking welds. Damn thing ain't even seen salt. But I digress. Six hours later I must test the new upgrade. And what a better way than traveling very quickly over a set of railroad tracks. To be fair, I didn't go that fast, merely enough speed to remove four tires from pavement for approximately 2 to 3 seconds. And as it so happened, the welds did not in fact break. However the bed mounts did.. but as the decal on the quarter panel so boldy states, it is in fact the one and only "fucker's mint edition".

 

Do it. You'll be happy with the results.

 

Blacked out the rear, smoked taillights and black bumper caps.

 

I'm assuming you're referring to the F5's and Gen5's

this guy has a post about them somewhere. he's working on getting more production going. I am patiently waiting! haha

 

Now that’s SHARP

 

Im not planning on either/or, I'm getting all. I just happen to have a little bit more extra spending cash, and the chrome bothered me. Lift, integrated hitch bumper, winch are all coming, I just need to wait for all that junk until my warranty runs out. The interior package was something that could be cosmetically done without any chance of the dealership idiots trying to say something if I have issues down the line while under warranty.

So not a question of getting an interior package instead of bumpers/lift/which/tune, its an interior package and bumpers/lift/winch/tune.

 

No one told me that this was going to involve copious amounts of grinding!

 

Like I said to each their own.

 

Just got mine yesterday! Can't wait to install them. Useful because I work 3rd shift.

 

Those both sound good, but give me some vinegary dinuguan!

 

Finished my Quicksand bolts.
Quicksand with clear and they sat in the oven all night. ( gas oven with pilot light going so its always warm)
95% of people wont even notice, but I didn't like the shiney gold screws. Quicksand for the win
