What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Back in the late 70s I was onboard the USS Tarawa, and while on Westpac I acquired this picture during a port visit in the P.I. It didn’t have the advertisement writing, just the picture. I taped it to the bulkhead next to my bunk. The XO of the ship saw it during his daily messing and berthing inspection, he told me liked it and I could keep posted on my bunk. The man had good taste. That is what’s known as a sea story….. but a true one. Cheers

 

Put on some tailgate inserts from Eyecatcher off of Amazon. $40 but are very high quality. Thanks for the recommendation @23 SR5 LB

 

Paid a visit to Alcan Spring, makers of the best leaf packs in the country, during my cross country road trip!

Full trip report coming soon.

 

Cool. I was just wondering if I missed something on the cargo switch. Looks good, great work

 

NOTE: Bed slide floor to the bottom surface/crossbeam of the DB cover is 16.5” or a little less than that.

First time I tried their beer was at 310 Public School in Culver City with a PB&J burger. My sister and I shared a 20ozer, I believe, of their Peanut Butter Milk Stout. A few years later, my buddies and I joined a local crafts beer bowling league in Northridge. Belchin Beaver showed up to my surprise and that’s how I got their sticker. During the pandemic, wifey and I got to visit the Carlsbad location. Got some grub, beer, a trucker hat and a couple of their shirts while we were there. Dam Good Times indeed. Lol Cheers!

I flipped the spare tire so I could check/adjust the air pressure easily with it still stored. I cut a 0.7mm thick piece of aluminum the size of the widest portion of the tire, and a hole for the chain lift, to stop the frame/side wall deformation, and reduce the road dirt and salt. A second piece of aluminum has a small break that fits the wheel lip, and is supported by a carburetor spring to reduce the road dirt and salt accumulation - the carabiner/retainer is visible in the picture. I added a small weep hole for any water that finds a way in. I’m sure there is no great drag reduction by covering the back of the spare tire, but it does look allot smoother!

 

What are these? I am trying to find the original post. Looks interesting.

 

See post #266249 (pg 13313) and post #266385 (pg 13320) for more. You can actually see one of the puddle lights there as well. But I’m a nutshell, they are reverse/rear fog/brake/park/turn/bed/puddle lights.

 

This is a nice mod

 

Today I added LT265/75 16 wildpeaks at3ws, hooke road rear bumper, Trd pro front grille, and a badass flowmaster outlaw exhaust. It makes me smile. Tomorrow I will debadge and remove the last bit of chrome from my truck. I'm happy as can be today.

 

I made her work.... just like the rest of the family.

 

Got any pics of all your tacos/91?

 

No but here are my daily drivers... clutch the 2007 sport is not in photo.



I got the 91 in June. Blown motor, totaled title. Turns out she just needed a couple thousand dollars in parts and a few hundred hours of love.

 

I highly recommended a mounting bracket from @pgfitzgerald if you haven't got one already.

Just bought the TRD skid plate through Toyota of Corvallis - running a Labor Day sale and including shipping it was $323 all in.

Planning on painting the skid plate all black and then TRD letters as close to blue crush as I can get them

 

Tufskinz has several colors to choose from...
