What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New shoes for my Tacoma - Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws in 265/75R16. Got them dirty driving home on our dirt road.

 

Finally got around to mounting the shovel on the new canopy

 

Slack is there, its just not easily seen from the photos. Good advice though, its appreciated.

 

Love the red, did the same thing.

 

I did my first at 1k, then 2500, then 5k. Rotation and oil change every 5k since

 

Taco took me to hockey

 

Installing my BAMF bumper today. 1hour 15 minutes and oem bumper off and R4T caps on.

 

Found a Facebook deal on some predator steps. Cleaned them up and put them on.

 

Drove my 3rd gen to Cruisin’ the Coast and saw this beauty. Not my favorite color but it’s a good looking truck.

 

Buying and installing little things....glass screen protector, center console divider and a switch illumination harness for when my heated seats arrive.

 

In a completely different car, the forums were recommending not putting a screen protector on your head unit, as the adhesive would mess up the coating that comes on the glass, and it would never be the same again.

Has anyone heard of this happening with the Tacoma info screens?

 

I put a cheap screen protector on the cluster and the head unit. When it was time to replace both just some adhesive residue was left behind no damage to the cluster or head unit.

 

I got all my sound deadening material using frost king. Duct insulation.

 

Doesn’t look bad lol I’ve just heard people get their visors stretched. I took them off my Silverado and heated them up to remove them and you could still see the square from where it was. Looked bad iMO.

 

Front and back? I have some Amazon interior lights and they are bright asf. Like blinding lol

 

Yup, MESO Light in the overhead front/back and VLEDS in the floor front and back. Not blinding for me at all.

 

I followed the suggestion of many here and used an iron/paper towel. After peeling the sticker and heating the left over adhesive through a clean paper towel several times there’s zero residue and no stretch marks at all. Looks way better than black stickers imho

 

Finished my bumper install. Need to level it just a bit and mount my lights. Every thing was easy right up until I had to install the brackets. They were powder coated so they did not just slide on and the slots for the studs was not deep enough. Had to beat the shit out of it and marred the bracket. Still could fit better but the final product looks great to me.

 

Installed a powder coated steel flag pole holder on the rear bumper:
