What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I actually remember your post on this. I guess I was fortunate to receive my skids in good condition. My sliders had a couple of nicks but I was able to touch them up. This is what I used and it is a very close match:

 

I will let them know if I can't get them to fit right. They will make and ship me a new pair. They said it would take a couple weeks to build and ship... I'm not that much in a hurry. I just want those sliders. They said 2 options.. #1 "try to bend them to fit right with a rubber mallet and it shouldn't scuff the finish". #2 they would build and ship another set. I know I'm gonna have to end up beating the shit out of them with a sledge. 1/8 steel, not sure if it will bend without messing it all up...

 

So I forgot to take progress shots because it was muggy out, but I routed the cable for my phone through the dash so I didn’t have to see it above the dash, but it works really well. I’m just glad that I had that long cable from Toyota

 

Paid off

 

Congratulations!! It's always a great feeling.

 

Thanks! First vehicle I’ve actually paid off and not traded in payments lol #adulting

 

the back up warning system sucks on these tacomas

 

Before the fuel pump and high brake light recalls and wiring harness replacement a week or so ago my highest was about 365. Now it’s in the low 380s.

 

Mine seems to work fine. Haven’t hit anything yet.

 

had a Subaru with better camera, louder beeps, better grid on the screen, and was 3 years older.....just more sensitive(only two cars that had it)......next is curb feelers

 

Your wheels look awesome. I’m really starting to like blue wheels on Tacomas.

 

I have they exact same sliders from Cali Raised LED. I installed them about two months ago. Fit right up no issues at all, perfect fit everything line up perfectly. Sorry that yours did not fit. Their customer support is really good, I have had to call the before for other products. I don’t think their phone number is on their web site, but it is pretty easy to find with a google search. Or, you can use the chat feature on their web site.

 

ECGS Clamshell Bushing swap finished over the weekend. And added a set of bed lights.

Ironman Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 Lift in 2 weeks & Topo Toppers camper pick up in July.

 

Long bed or short bed?
I have a long bed with the exact same sliders. I thought they did not fit either until I found out they mount differently between the two..
Sorry to hear that man.
Hope you get that resolved with them!

 

Auto Zone and O’reilly’s would make a killing

 

Agreed just paid mine off this week, made a joke with my wife like the truck drives a lot nicer now that we actually own it.

 

After the heavy rainstorms earlier this year in SoCal, the Taco had some moisture issues with the BD Squadron Pros that led to flickering light operation on the driver side fog light. Shout out and big thanks to the @Baja Designs warranty team, especially Jeff for his great customer service and communication. Also, thanks to Frank at S&R who received the lights and got them over to Jeff right away for processing after I dropped them off at their facility on June 13th (wifey and I were in the area and I was able to drop them off with ease). Jeff and their team got the lights ready the next day and I got them about a week later last Wednesday. Just opened up the box today to reinstall and I was surprised to see that they looked to be a new set! Super cool of them to do that if that’s the case. Now that the Taco has the Squadron Pros onboard again, I can resume blinding people on the fre… *ahem* resume having supreme visibility when driving off-road at night in the wilderness.

 

Finally got the new wheels and tires mounted. These lightweight wheels made the truck less sluggish

also new duratracs babyyy

 

Tim at RCI recommended this for the scuffs on their sliders and skids; said it matches their powder coat well and he uses it when he gets back from wheeling: Krylon Rust Tough 12 Ounce Semi-Flat Black Spray Paint (it's cheaper at O'Reilly's than Amazon).
I picked up a can to hit the spots where I have tire rubbing (someone else's - I think my sliders saved my side from another car!) but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's super annoying to get something new that is scratched, but you may add your own scratches to it when you hit the trail.

 

sell me ur superbumps?
