What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

ok, dte should start dropping

 

Which are you going to do first? Get married or install the lights?

 

Can recommend this! I bought from StaticClimbing on Etsy to help support a small business and she has customizations she can do to make it truck specific.

Works great!

 

Oh so basically if you were to ever get a rooftop tent/bed rack it wouldn’t work.

 

What did you use for your scoop light?

 

That was my plan until I found this.

 

I put one of these in the cupholder behind the arm rest on my MT, ugly, but works

Saw those, that was what I was trying to stay away from, They stick up to high and ugly as hell. lol.

 

There's one on Amazon, but I wouldn't use that one again, jdmtoy or something like that. I'll find it and PM you if you want. I'd use a 10-12" black lense light bar and make my own harness if I had it to do over, which I probably will down the road. The supplied harness is very very thin, granted it doesn't pull much power but I like something thicker than angel hair pasta lol.

 

Installed a mid height Cali Raised LED Overland Bed Rack.

 

Been gone awhile due to relocating to the DFW area for a new job which took all my disposable income. But since we moved to a place that has humidity and heat, picked me up a N2 remote start and got it installed. No picks as i was getting it done while sweating my @$$ off. Also picked up some organizers for the glove box and center console. Now for a new plan for the Taco Upgrades with the new expenses from the new location.

 

Finally got around to installing some Diode Dynamic I bought during the July 4th sale. Replaced the cheap Amazon light I had in the hood scoop with Stage Series 12" fog. The DD brackets were too big, the Amazon light brackets were repurposed.

 

Never had rear cubby’s, I have an access cab. I have cubby’s under the seats, but I did not lose those.

 

Gotcha.

I have a 10” one in my scoop but the guy that made them closed up shop. Was just curious what people are using now. Only ones I’ve seen were the jdmtoy one from Amazon or make something. Or some put grille / raptor light there

 

thanks man !! I appreciate it. Oddly enough I found the camper on Craigslist from a 1st gen taco owner, he let me fit it in his driveway first , best 300 dollars I spent it’s outperformed it’s duties ! I tinted it myself as well serving it’s purpose beautifully until I graduate to a nice camper.

 

I had @paranoid56 make me some little brackets to mount the DD 12" in there. When I get them back from powder coating, I am happy to share some pics

 

What is the difference between the N2 and the remote start with the vehicle? I use the app to remote start mine, and there is also a sequence on the key fob (Member @TacoFlavoredTRD describes it well in this post: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...3rd-gen-today.399305/page-13185#post-28944990).

 

4 slow presses of the LOCK button

 

bro nice! I’ve got the same ones and let me tell you they can take the abuse and still look great. Awesome choice!

 

This is what I got instead of doing chalk bags....

I put one on the passenger side of the center console, and the other behind the passenger seat off the headrest. Didn't even have to dremel any plastic from the console to get it flush. Just rolled both straps and held them together with zip ties. Same with the one behind the seat.... wrapped the straps around the headrest posts and zip tied above the button.
