What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have had 2x OEM windshields in 4 years. The OEM seem to chip and crack easy.

 

Did a few things after work today.

ARB rear diff breather relocation


Pro tails with JDM Astar LED turn and reverse bulbs


and a little Lunar Rock tailgate handle pizzazz

 

That’s a profitable gig! You’ll love it up here! Always happy to have more Tacoma lovers in the frigid north.
The only trails I use are really popular and you’ll find them asking anyone once you’re here, so unfortunately I can’t help much with that.
Wishing you had a scoopless Barcelona and a desire to skewp up though! I can’t find anyone who wants it with red to swap

 

Did the Alpine Designs CMR + Energy Bushings. PN:

Looks cute with the new wheels and all... but I specifically did not want to cut my bumper to fit them, so OEM wheels went back on. I picked up the R4T bumper caps so when my C4 hybrid bumper arrives, I can sell my OEM bumper in a single, complete, virgin piece. I anticipated all the massaging that would be required near the firewall in the wheel well, but didn't expect the bumper and tires to clash. I don't know why I didn't consider it happening...

 

Wish I could do the same, but mine stripped out a long time ago. Got the stock tonneau with the truck and it has a post there that I've been working around for 6 years.

 

Also,
This is/was a slow work in progress: Bussmann fuse/relay panel with Baja Designs S2 Pro ditch lights mounted on CBI's low profile brackets, Meso customs 3D printed lower switch panel, and CH4x4 Toyota push switches.

 

Installed Tacoma Lifestyle Sequential Turn Signals:

It's beautiful. Great job.

 

Did the kicker speaker upgrade front and back, sound deadening to the rear door (ran out of steam to do the front), added the kicker HS10 powered sub, and the pop & lock. Super happy with the improved sound system.

 

3500 miles and so far just 1 TSB done on the truck.

 

What tweeters are those? Link?

 

They are DS18 pro. Plug and play form on JBL. Here you go- and right now 10% off. The are on Amazon as well but last I looked full price. https://ds18.com/products/pro-1-9-o...d-subaru-models-120-watts-1-aluminum-4-ohm-vc

 

While technically not done today (should be installing tomorrow)
This came in the mail Friday!

 

A preview of what it will look like.

 

I have a low deductible for windshield replacement. $50 out of pocket. Insurance paid the rest.

 

Finished up the anytime backup and front camera. Mounting bracket came from the Taco Garage. It certainly is a spaghetti mess of wires at first, rather intimidating. But the directions are easy to follow, with plenty of pictures. Only thing I needed youtube for was taking panels and stuff apart. One thing I didn't care for is they suggest tying in the grounds to the side of the radio bracket, which is not actually grounded when the HU is pulled out.

I would say the image quality of the 'premium' camera is slightly lower than the factory reverse camera. But it will certainly get the job done.

 

Added the front VLeds footwell lights. (I'll be doing the backs later this week).
FYI...They are having a 15% off Memorial Day sale right now.
Nice kit...I'll probably like them even more in the dark!

 

Took a while but finally got to 9000 mi.

 

$1300 let the insurance company pay for it, have the dealership do it right and replace it with Toyota glass, not the safelite beach sand special.

 

Oh, nice. I am going to get this same bumper (same configuration) and wondered if I could just zip tie the license plate like that. Were you going to leave it like that or is it temporary?
