What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I installed the Ds18’s and the sound is phenomenal

 

Yep. Great service from Kirk, Ross, and the team.

 

Made my own overlays from some vinyl, started the first wheel, and painted the center cap logo.
It was surprisingly easy to cut them and install with a heat gun.

 

Quite the difference for not much money and PNP to boot!

 

Update to my cracked spotter mirrors I got form Tacoma Beasts, the day after I submitted a ticket with their Extend insurance they sent me a link to order another set of mirrors and got the drivers side installed.

Since they sent me a set both driver and passenger side I now have an extra passenger side spotter mirror if anyone wants to purchase it for $50 hit me up lol!

 

congrats!! I have some of those too. Those window deflectors are something serious

 

Installed the @CaliRaisedLed 25 degree Rock Sliders w/ kickout today. Super streamlined and will be good in tight trails.

The back bumper will be next weekend, and the front bumper/skid when I can get my electrical sorted.

 

Got these whiteline poly bushings installed on drivers side LCA tonight, took about 3 hours i took it slow.

Tomorrow ill do passenger side, then schedule the alignment.

Bought a bottle jack to remove the old bushings and it was easy.


Advice, change yours at 50k miles before theyre too rusted.

 

Kept it relatively simple this weekend.

 

Heck yeah dude! I was thinkin about you the other day wondering if you got the 5100's installed yet. Right on man!

 

I always appreciate seeing silver tacos

 

Finally picked up my own Daytona jack instead of having to go down to me bro’s house The great pride in working on my Taco is taking over.

The OEM links were super loose. The AM links appear well made, from Suspension Dudes.

 

Looking good!

Looking good! The blacked out decal is awesome.

 

Looks good. I went with the RCI sliders which stick out a bit further. I like how the CR are in closer to the body. Still completely happy with the RCI’s, except when they are muddy…..hard to avoid mud on your pant leg or calves when wearing shorts.

 

Is that an anti-thieft device?

 

Yes it is. @christian06 makes them. Nothing wrong with another level of deterance.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

My neighbors are probably more happy than I am to be done. Stupidly long u-bolts.

 

Not so much "to" my 3rd Gen, but rather "with." Took my better half to the big box store and loaded up the bed with bags of topsoil, grass seed and more freaking flats of plants than I thought it would hold (it did, btw, hold them all). Of course, I assiduously and repeatedly proclaim to all and sundry, "the truck is not for hauling stuff!" but that always falls on deaf ears. In other news, we drove around with the windows slightly down, sunroof up, back window open, enjoying the mild spring weather (for now...it's Michigan, just wait five minutes...)

 

A portaband saw makes quick and quiet work of cutting metal. One of my favorite tools, I've cut so many bolts with it.
