What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Took my Taco for a 290 mile putt along the 40 in the Mohave desert. Got 25mpg with 2” lift, 33” tires and 91 octane.

 

Nice! Where did you get the heat shield?

Want to do this mod eventually. I have the RCI front engine and transmission skid and haven’t done the transfer case skid yet pending the exhaust relocate mod.

TIA

 

He’s not a DICK! He’s just ribbing him. I know @RichochetRabbit didn’t mean offense, all in fun. Don’t be so uptight. You’ll see after you’ve been on here a while people like to give others a hard time but mean no offense.

A little thicker skin goes a long ways! You’ll see what I mean eventually. TW is a good place to be.

 

Just out in the garage doing a thing....

 

Nice work! These kind of skills are handy to have.

 

I love it. I had a Roofnest Falcon before and with the addition of a dog and baby, the bigger tent is way more practical. I’ll miss the sleek looks of the aluminum body from the wedge style tent, but the added space more than makes up for it! And it’s less of a PITA to get it closed up without pinching the tent fabric.

 

Nice, just finished installing mine yesterday too.

 

I’m planning on a Skycamp on top of my Alu-cab canopy. What load bars are you running?

 

They are manufactured and sold right here in Colorado, so I took advantage of there Black Friday sale and had them do the installation (saved my back and my marriage) they are the strongest and best looking in my opinion. On there website they have instructions, no drill bolt on, with the help of a floor jack a buddy and a couple beers no problem.

 

I really love the gold lettering in your tailgate handle. Did you paint that? Or is that something you purchased?

I see it matches the rest of your decals, if all looks great.

 

Nice to see some real craftsmanship, rather than another redundant bolt on or chrome delete.. not too shabby 3/8’s fillet welds for the truck…

 

Thank you. I purchased them on etsy. Did all of the badging the same way: black overlays with bronze vinyl "inlays". Thought it would tie some bronze wheels to the truck.

 

Traveling for Christmas, took my first road trip with my new Rigid SAE light bar (driving lights pattern). I wired it to come on with truck’s high beams. Combined with the OEM LEDs, my high beam is simply ridiculous. It was SO useful on back country roads with no lighting.

 

Very clean, nice job

 

Nice, it looks great.

 

Improvements?

 

So did Dave's harness alleviate the need for the stab connectors provided in the SS3? Did you just need the pair of the 12” harnesses, one for each side. I am installing SS3 pros on a 23 Off-road with Led package, replacing the factory fog lights. Thank you!

 

Ya. I have them on during the day too since its overcast enough all the time.

 

I'm always jealous of someone who can envision and fabricate parts. Looks great

 

Did you make that panel mount? More details please
