What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got some new to me wheels and tires for a heck of a deal. 265/70/17 17x9 fuel couplers. Has a little rubbing on the front mud flap. Might need to level it

 

Just installed the pop & lock for the tailgate, front facing camera, dash cam, and cold air intake. Just got a JL Stealthbox. Gonna install that soon as well

 

Washed er and garaged er for my other 3rd gen to get some lovin with new lbjs and brakes

 

What are your thoughts on the FrontRunner bars? I ordered the Diamondback HD cover in smooth black about 3 weeks ago and have been looking at those bars as the next addition to the truck. Really want to throw a tent up there and start venturing out for the weekend.

 

What did I do to my 3rd gen today? Well drove it to work. Then thinking how I wish we could bring our 2015 Hilux to the US...

 

In the the store at my local Harbor Freight.

 

I have a husky brand from home Depot. Open box for $80 so I had to jump on it. I mount it inside my tool box. It's not as compact as those 12v air compressor, but it can pump way faster.

 

How long did it take to get the JL box? I ordered mine like two weeks ago and have yet to get any updates… getting anxious though. I hear that are awesome.

 

Someone linked an ebay auction for an open box OEM TRD Skid plate for $250. Had to buy it of course. It came in yesterday, took off the T just to see how easy the letters come off (easily enough). Dropping it off at Line-X next week to get it done and already have new Cav Blue letter inserts on the way to me.

I don't want to line-x the bolts, so what are y'alls thoughts on the best way to get those things black? Sharpie black marker or something along those lines? I was thinking paint but I don't want it to chip/crack when actually tightening/loosening the bolts. Doesn't have to black color match tone 100% to the line-x black just don't want them to stick out like a sore thumb like they would if I just left them their current color.

 

Hollywood Blvd. ?

 

It's going to be installed under your truck... it won't stand out.

 

Installed the Rough Country cab side MOLLE panel and Gator Hybrid tonneau cover. Pretty dang pleased. Ready for camping this weekend!

 

dang was that price an auction?

 

Installing a Titan 15 gallon auxiliary fuel tank. It’s mounted, I just have to run the grounding strap so I don’t spark a fire. It covers the driver side cubby, however I have a compressor in there and don’t have to get to it. Fits tight, won’t fly if in a rollover, and very sturdy. No more jerrycans to deal with. 20% off code posted here:

Don’t mind the clutter, I had to throw everything in haphazardly to go get some hardware. I’m planning on building some shelving units next to it and there’s going to be a top shelf across the top of the tank behind the filler.

 

Buy it now price, after tax it was $250 and some change. It's an open box so there are some slight scuffs on it, but I was always planning on getting the skid plate line-x'd whenever I found one for a good price so it was a non-issue for me.

 

Get rid of the mudflaps. Oh, and level it too.

 

I've been wondering about that. Is removing the mud flaps still the think to do to Tacomas now? It was when I had my 1st and 2nd gen.

 

No. I leave mine on to prevent my car getting dirty and kicking up stuff on others cars

 

Snail armor tailgate insert thing.
I wanted this only so i could put a thick peice of rubber over it. I dont want to kneel on this anymore than the stock tailgait insert. This will work better since it is so flat. Its nice when you buy a mod and it fits exactly how it should. Just like my SSO roof rack.
