What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Its been 22 days since my acl surgery. Finally had a nice day to get outside and do some things with the truck. I touched up the right fender from the bozos at the dealer and the tailgate. I also installed seat risers, drawer for the cubby and blockers for the license plate.

Tailgate:



Cubby Drawer, Reverse Light Blockers and Seat Risers!

 

I have always known that as a cowl panel.... rain tray is new to me

 

Got the new Rigid D-SS spots as ditch lights (Amber Pro Series which is the new part). Very cool product, looks awesome and will work great illuminating off-road environments at night. Plus, adds a cool look to the truck. What I really like about the D-SS is that they are the perfect ditch light because of their side emitters. I don’t like the look of lights that only shine forward being angled 45° to hit the ditches. These can be straight and offer a ton of forward light and lots of side light, nearly a full 180° spread.

Don’t have them wired up yet but I got a switch panel off eBay that replaces the stock left switch panel and has room for all the stock switches at the bottom and a row of 5 short switches on top. Basically, 3 additional locations compared to stock.

Edited to add night pics.









With OEM LED Headlights and Rigid Yellow Fogs

 

Hope not too off topic but based on my aforementioned morning… anyone know what direction the spare tire points when putting it back up under the truck? Never payed attention before.

 

How you have it. You want the backside (deep) to be the side the hoist is pulling on.

 

When I was stationed on her, it was in Yokosuka Japan.
Right now?
About 4500 feet down just north of Hawaii.
No more FFG's are currently in service in the Navy.

 

That's the correct position from factory. However, I flipped them around on all 3 Tacoma's I've owned so I can get to the valve stem. Never had any issue.

 

True! Thanks. What a day.

 

dude where does that go?! Like a portal to Mordor

 

Yea that's the oddest glory hole I've ever seen...

 

isn’t there a clip of a 1st gen tailpipe being misused? I swear I saw it on ebaums world years ago

 

I purchased this with my Tacoma and I haven't had any issues with theft or anything else.

after back orders on fox almost a year, and being injured I did my shocks, coil overs, leaf springs, ECGS bushing, UCA, OME driveshaft drop and looking for tires.

 

Washed it, installed ditch lights, and vent visors.

 

Thumbs down on that flat tire on that steel wheel!

There's a whole bunch of us running steel wheels Some of us even have color matched

Here’s a cheap mod which I did today. Ordered some of these and had some lug nuts laying around and boom it worked. My x-bull traction boards are now on my cbi overland rack.

 

First lil flex test to check clearences on everything, lots more trimming up front to do. Other than that everything is looking perfect.

 

Been a while since I posted but back in september, bent a bunch of stuff in the passenger rear drum brake 2 days before my Texas to Montana trip :/





Good as new!

Just post that on Instagram. Someone will be around to fill it with ramen noodles. Looks like the 2x4s in there didn’t work out so well.
