What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Redline tuning. Find someone strong to squeeze the rivets. lol

 

I have had 2 of those grills, but 3 all together. Surprised you’ve never had the heritage/pro

 

Pro grill is sexy but I decided against it. It’s not that I think it’s “played out” but just want something different and oem. There aren’t many options haha.

 

I think it is the difference between the factory bolts and the new bolts. The factory bolts are narrowed on the end which make it easier to go into the nut. The new bolts have to be perfectly aligned to grab the nut. The factory bolts angled end help the bolt find the nut threads. Pics show the recovery point with the new bolt that have the larger washers and the factory bolts are the smaller washers. The NYTOP instructions says you can reuse the factory bolts or use the new ones that are also longer. With the recovery points thickness, the factory bolts still go all the way through the nuts. Good quality, yes.

 

The neoprene like rear seat covers from rough country are cheap and fit like a glove. Holding up well to these uncivilized children. The fronts don’t stay put all that well though.

 

Dogs jump on doors, though. Other solutions make a complete "tub container" that protect side surfaces as well from puppy-claws and puppy-slobber.

 

Top grill is the best looking Toyota has made.

 

I love my doghouse awning and tent. Looks good!

 

There is a joke in there that no one has mentioned yet ...

I thought the sr wheels might be one inch skinnier than than the OR wheel

You can get these for doors (https://thinskinz.com/products/thinskinz-tacoma) They work quite well!

 

That limited grill looks great on blue. I’m partial to the xtrek. But magically diode dynamics lights fit the grill spaces perfectly.

 

New Mickey Thompson Baja boss 265/75 R16 decided to go up a tire size. Love how it came out. Will be nice when airing down I will be closer to where I was sitting with 265/70 R16 aired up! Also ordered a full-size matching spare for the bed

 

Some of the best looking (although heaviest) tires.

 

Well, at least you learned quickly…...

 

The OEM nuts for alloy wheels have a taper that will secure the steel spare safely. The assumption is that the spare is a temporary thing.
However, if you plan to use steel wheels full time, you would be better off getting dedicated lug nuts.
