What to do to a new Gen3

No, I was specifically mentioning the trans cooler. Maybe I misread your earlier post

 

I don’t know. I use my bed a lot, never once I thought I need bed stiffeners.

Just one example out of hundreds.

 

I think we both misread each other, haha!

All good man

 

That all trash?

 

See that strap you connected to the tailgate latch? Number one reason to add bed stiffeners... Moar tie downs.

I added stiffeners for cheap insurance, but the additional tie downs have been a blessing and the biggest benefit.

 

Dude I just saw your avatar … and I’m dying ! Just rewatching Jersey shore right now and it’s really hitting hard

 

Hahahaha!

Glad I could make you laugh, cheers man!

 

Yes, but not super tight. Hmm I guess I could see the benefit yeah.

 

Not the tent and plywood The rest, yes. Couple toilets, underlay and carpets.

 

Regarding light bars, I am a huge fan of the hue of Heretic Studios’ ambers. I’m currently replacing all my light on the front end of the vehicle but I use a Frontrunner lightbar on a Frontrunner roof rack - I love the flip up/down rock guard on the lightbar as it’s also great for “tuning” the light to not cause a huge glare from a dusty hood. Very handy in the desert.

As for favorite mod - and I have a very modded Tacoma - I would have to say having a winch. Where I live it’s immensely useful. Other than that would be upgraded tires. Depends where you live I guess?

Welcome to TW

 

A year? That's all you've come up with? I'd say you're pretty much set.

 

Hide or get rid of your credit card and don't be tempted to modify your truck. I am already at 15k and not close to be finish... enjoy your truck

 

Welcome to TW
Pic of the truck?
Tranny cooler- I got in a small front end collision last year and when I picked up my truck, there was a brand new tranny cooler in the bed under the tonneau cover for some reason I have one installed under the hood and they didn't want it back. I'd part ways with it with a pretty heavy discount. PM if interested

 

looks like a homeless guy unloaded his grocery cart in the bed of your truck

 

Thanks for kind words sir

 

Still working on it. Just found out today delivery has been delayed (again) until mid-March.

Bed-mat was on my maybe list. Think I'll move it up.
Forgot about floor mats. I'd like tub-style like weather-tech or husky. Are Toyota OEMs worth it?

Bakflip G2 tonneau cover was top on my list but was also looking at extang - any thoughts?

Also, any recommendations on running boards? I'm not sure about the OEM ones. Maybe Rhino?

 

Basically what you do is this

 

I waited 10 months for my truck, so I feel yer pain.
First thing I got when I picked up the truck was the bed mat
Screenprotech will save tour instrument panel and touch screen from scratches.
Huskies are great floor mats
I just did the tweeter upgrade
The list goes on.....................and on......................................
It will be worth the wait, you are almost there.

 

sell it, as fast as you can. These modern Toyota are not even close to the quality/reliability of the older ones. Once that they got away from cast iron blocks, it was over.
