What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Happy Thanksgiving to all TW Taco owners out there. No mods today, just eat lots of stuff and maybe get a little drunk if ya can’t stand some of your relatives.

 

looks awesome!! I have been stocking those wheels online - so tempting before, but wow, looking good. You just cost me!

also - was looking at that grill - how's the light bar? on quality with say diode dynamics or Baja ? could one swap the light bar out with DD or BD if they like easily or with mod?

great truck! happy thanksgiving!

 

My latest Mod. 1st attempt, I have 4 more shots at it.

 

The light bar is definitely not on par with Diode Dynamics but it's a simple mount so you could change it out for any other 20" lightbar. If I had to do it all over again, I would have just gotten the one that had TACOMA on the grill in that location instead. It was an impulse buy and at this point, the light bar in the grill is really just there to help add some contrast on snow covered trails back in the forest. I am going to add a high quality light bar to the roof rack that'll be there for more distance offroad.

The grey of the wheels don't fully match the truck, some days I wish I had gone with black wheels. Thank you for the compliments, 2 years of buying used parts on Bookface Marketplace have paid off.

I also added the Form Tail Lights, those are the most recent Mod.

Awesome stuff man. Thanks for the info. Great job on the truck!

 

Perfect!

 

Never been convinced by the idea of squirting $200 worth of stinky lamb juice onto my truck every year (Fluid Film, Woolwax, etc.). Krown undercoating seemed more logical but they also seem like a got-you-for-life-now-sucker situation. So I'm trying Corrosion-X, which seems to be a staple in the saltwater boating and aircraft worlds.

I used the hardcore green stuff on my frame, the medium duty orange stuff on control arms, CV axles, etc. and the light duty red stuff on parts that I tend to mess with routinely like suspension. Also treated lock latches, hinges, and spot treated rusty pulleys and parts with the red stuff.

will see how things go after this salty winter

 

Tundra style head unit swap.

Got this from Cartrimhome

it’s legit and ended up growing on me. I have a Tesla as a daily and use the Tacoma as well yet after a few days so far this has grown on me.

 

I was in Walmart the other day with a tape measure , in the toy aisle , sizing up wheels to do the exact same thing . I ended getting a red ring from AJT , it should help my eyes better

 

Neat idea.

Looks cool

 

That is awesome. You have a link for that part?

 

Part # or link?

 

Fumoto valve helps reduce splash.

 

You have to select the black trim option. I got cheapest trim option they had as I was unsure about how it would actually work or look. Had it installed for 2 days now and honestly it’s grown on me and went from looking obnoxiously big to something I love as I learn to use different features.

Where did you get the TRD 4X4 OFF ROAD in black lettering?

 

Extended the rear diff vent today, up into the rear tail light housing

 

Ebay and it was less than $20 for the pair.

 

Very cool, thanks for the link!
