What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Recieved a delivery, @jeffmansion is stepping into the 285 75 16 game very soon. 16x8 0 offset rims and a 2.7 MT. Lets go.

Picked up my new wheels and tires today TRD Black Gloss 17”. Tires are 265x70x17s

 

Finally installed the coin holder in the centre console. Had to drill a hole to accommodate LED.

 

Awesome

 

A decal to cover a dent...



...and one more (for the sake of some symmetry)

 

Where do you mount the breaker?

 

Brought home a new 7000lb dump trailer.

 

So I ended up selling my 2021 trd off road premium when the market was hot. Made 10k over what I had paid initially. Ordered a 2023 TRD sport premium DCLB.

Got it last week and recently put bilstein 5100 set on the second clip (got me around 3/4 of a lift) with 265/70/17 wildpeak P rated. No rub with air dam and splash guards.

Comparing the short bed to the long bed, that extra bit of room makes a difference. I loved my DCSB don’t get me wrong, better off road capability etc. But I'm enjoying the 6 foot bed a little more.

 

We try not to put the circuit breakers on the tray itself because circuit protection, whether it be a fuse or breaker, should be mounted as close to the source as possible to minimize the amount of unprotected battery cable. When you mount a circuit breaker on the tray you'll have about 2 feet of unprotected cable. So you should find a place as close to the positive battery terminal as possible for your circuit breaker unless you're planning on running a fuse as well as the circuit breaker. But that's kind of redundant and the circuit breaker really just becomes a glorified on/off switch.

The best solution, and what we do, is to use our circuit breaker’s because the one that comes with the Auxbeam feels cheap and didn't leave me with much confidence considering how important circuit protection is. Then we mount them right on the top of the battery using our dual circuit breaker battery tie-down. But I understand that not everyone wants to spend the extra money so I'd recommend mounting the circuit breaker on your fuse block cover right next to the positive battery terminal.

 

Looks like you've been busy! Nice truck! I wanted a LB to but wasn't willing to wait forever so settled for the SB

 

Got the @Diode Dynamics SS3 Max led fog lights installed this afternoon. Thanks to @memario1214 at Hotshot Offroad for the great price and fast shipping.

pro tip, Toyota gives you one screw to secure the lights from the factory fog set up. I wasn't going to risk $500 lights staying put with one screw, I drilled three new holes that lined up with the DD SS3 brackets pretty well and got them secured fully. Having the viper cut made it alot easier to work on too

 

I have the same fogs and I’m confident in the one screw holding them on. Are fogs falling off of Tacomas that only have one screw holding them on?

 

good question, the stock fog is a a lot lighter than the SS3 Max which is a factor. I'm not risking it off road especially with the washboards in SoCal

 

I've never had an issue with one screw

 

did you really tag yourself in your own post? Is it Friday?

 

Did this last week but I posted this on the wrong forum (2nd gen). Anyways, I aired out the tent and installed my road shower and found a way to mount the awning in the rear.

 

Part numbers???

 

This might be them. I know different options and accessories are offered in different regions.
