What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I posted a couple of pictures earlier in thread in march of the beading after almost 6 months. After prepping the paint I applied 1 coat, let sit for 24 hours and applied a second coat. It’s not like old school wax you CAN apply to much, make sure to follow directions. There are also several videos on YouTube about how to apply it, or any ceramic really. You need to make sure any previous wax or protection is completely gone for best results. I havent bothered with the spray on rinse off methods, it is so east to apply I just did an additional base coat in march.

 

I agree, the price point made it worth it to me...scored it on Amazon for less than $400

 

I got a mid-rise leer shell on it today.

 

Way outside my budget man. I went 316 Mil-Spec stainless and reused some of the kit hardware. Though, I did replace many many mounting screws with M8 Button Head Flange Ti while I was under the truck.
The button heads make much more sense on a skiddy thing. A good opportunity to make sure things were straight and flush.

 

I have a 2017 TRD OR and the dual zone panel is standard on this model year.

 

I had a 2017 TRD OR and it was 100 percent not dual zone, I think the option was only available with the technology package.

 

To be honest, "dual zone" in a "single cab" only does so much. The heat or cold at the legs will be felt most because of direct contact. A little of the heat/cold from the top dash vents ... yeah, kindah. Overall, it mixes together in a single cab. You cannot keep half of the cab 10 degrees cooler than the other half.

 

Did the dash speaker upgrade.

 

JUST wanted to throw this out there, i know this may not be a truck thing, but There's a cool Brewery on Day Hill Rd in Windsor Ct. called Dudley Town Brewery. Maybe we all can have a meet and great sometime, the parking lot next to the brewery is big enough for this.

Ok I will check those out...sounds like you are getting amazing results... Nice!

 

Post something up in the CT forum ( https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/hey-connecticut.309240/ ) and see if you get some traction. I'm just a couple towns over so I'd be interested!

 

Installed the overpriced KC channel finally. those scratches also buffed away no problem. Now to redo the entire lighting harness because im not happy with it

 

Added sidebars to my rack. Will attached rotopax canisters eventually to free up bedspace for camping trips.

 

Installed the Traveler AAL Add-a-Leaf by Archive Garage and 5100 shocks in the rear in preparation for adding a rooftop tent. It's nice not to be sagging.

Thanks, @ARCHIVE and @Soft Taco for the install videos. Now to install the 5100 shocks in the front...

 

How do these stick? I can get any patches to stay on the headliner

 

You know I got you covered via video for that front. Take your time, start early, and be careful! Truck looks A+ btw!

 

how much lift did the Traveler AAL get you?

 

I like those. I had AT3s on my 2nd gen and loved them. But this maybe my next tire.

 

You have to wiggle them on. Kinda PITA but when they stick it's pretty solid. I will take a picture of mine when I get out to the truck.
