What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Then you know exactly what I’m saying. I live in Breckenridge so it’s always Icey but if you know how to drive in these conditions they are exceptional. It was either the Duratracs or Toyo Open country’s

 

Snagged the Viofo A119 from the 4Runner as it got upgraded to a dual channel A129. Hardwired to record when the truck is off.

 

I have had 3 sets of Duratracs on my Land Rover precisely because of the snow and ice capability. I am going a different route with the Tacoma, having a set of winter tires on the factory wheels for winter and a set of M/T on my Method wheels for offroad.

 

no feathers here....fur, I got lots of fur.

 

Installed the Cali Raised cat guards. Super easy install.

 

2022 Limited with Night Shade edition is exactly $45,262 before tax in MN.

 

Any special tips or tricks you learned along the way to get your engine looking new or was this 100% brute force?

 

Yes it’s a little different than yours. Mine is a 2019.

 

S100 motorcycle cleaner. Rinsing thoroughly is essential. Towel dry

 

Threw on the Eibach Stage 2

 

Put the Goose Gear deletes to work today...


Snagged a set of studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV in 265/70R17 for the new Icon Compressions. Have an appointment on Tuesday to get them mated.

 

What a huge upgrade.
275/70r 17 wildpeaks on FN wheels 5 stars -6mm offset. Thanks to Dustin at FN Wheels and @memario1214 for the great deal on the Bilsteins.

 

What clip settings on the Bilstein combo?

 

I think it was 11 and 9. I had them pre assembled by Hotshot OR to max height 2”

 

prepped for my GFC topper today with Aquaseal tape and RTV under the rail caps.

 

I installed the Runin’ 4 Tacos remote controlled tailgate lock kit. Super easy, it took an hour.

 

You'll be able to go anywhere in snow country with those.
Congrats
I was at one time a ski patroller in Canadian Rockies and studded tire on all 4 saved my butt many times.

 

Today I made more progress on the rock light mount for in front of the rear wheels. Two options:
1: For Tacomas without rock sliders:
A mount that fits flush to the body



2: For Tacomas with rock sliders
A mount that extends lower.




The difference is the shadow cast by the rock sliders with Option 1 and the light that shines on the slider itself.

vs Option 2


My goal was to match the coverage from the front rock light, so I'm pretty satisfied with the effort.

These mounts are now part of a set I have for sale in the 3rd Gen forum:
