What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I would recommend using 3M Automotive adhesion promoter 06396 before using around the tailgate, it gives the adhesive a bit of a boost, so it won’t just fall off a year down the road. I’m happy with the product, keeps dust/water out of your tailgate area.

 

I replaced the windshield wiper inserts.

 

Replaced the stock SR5 suspension with TRD OF suspension, installed a 2/1 leveling kit and put on new lug nuts. Put a badge on the grille as well.

 

I want to do this mod, can you supply videos diagrams and charts for your complicated installation process.

 

This is kinda a what have I ordered for it, since I don't have it yet.
After 3 Tundras, I'll be ordering a 2022 Black Pro Taco, when they are available to build and price. Love the Tundras power but not parking, washing, or fueling it up.

Looking forward to getting back into a Taco. I've already ordered:
C4 sliders
OEM bed light kit
sequential amber mirror turn signals w/ black len's
AJT chrome delete
OEM bed step
Tuff skinz door sill protectors w/ mountain logos
Matte black TACOMA tailgate letters
tailgate seal
led license plate light kit

Just debating on a hidden winch mount, probably SDHQ's, or a lo pro winch mount, probably C4.

Also going to be ordering:
Warn VR EVO 10S
RSI smart cap
285/75/16 BFG KO2s or Cooper STT Pros
Bed rug, once cap is available
SDHQ ditch brackets
Rigid SR-M lights for ditch brackets lights to match the Pro fogs

Should be fun building another Taco.

 

That's bad, now imagine the person that paid to have their diff oil changed...they can't even check it. I believe in doing everything I can myself...I have very little faith in dealerships, people in general!

 

What lift are you planning to give you clearance for the 285’s?

 

New trd sport stickers on bed sides

 

Picked it up at the only place around that had Cement TRD OR with Access cab

Time to start working on it

 

No lift. They'll fit on the Pros. 2022s have additional 1.5 front and .5 rear, with new TRD billet UCAs.

 

Didn't do this all today but during this past week.

Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners



Off Grid Engineering Dual Battery setup with Redarc. Kept the factory starting battery for now as my truck is still pretty new and picked up an FT750-35 for the Aux battery. Double MRBFs on the aux battery are for a future Powertrays/Switch Pros install



Installed an ARB twin with a SLEE 2nd Gen ARB mount bracket and a custom fabricated bracket from Tacoma World that I picked up second hand on here.



Ran the hose to a quick disconnect chuck from Wits End I mounted behind the grill.



Also made my own switch harness to have the switch right by the compressor. The compressor has its own inline fuses and is connected directly to the aux battery.

Also spent some time wiring up the Switch Pros and PowerTrays bracket for a later install.

 

Don't you just love to see the Toyota Service Specials? We can change your cabin air filter for only $39.95! Amazon has the exact same paper filters for $7 each and we all know it takes a good minute and a half to replace it.

 

After cutting up my truck for a few hours and trimming the fenders, I finally got my 33s on

 

i don’t have a video of myself removing the old ones and installing the new inserts. But I watched from other YouTube videos and made it harmless and easy. The most complicated part is keeping the aluminum guides in its place for the insert to be held firm

 

Awesome job, looks great

 

Nice, I just returned from Moab and a road trip around the SW myself about a month ago. Good times, good trip

 

I changed out my stocks for OEMs on my 2019 sport, they fit good. good luck

 

wow those total chaos stiffeners look really freaking nice! I've seen another company, RagoFabrication, who sells bed stiffeners as well. Those stiffeners are shorturl.at/atLQ4 and I couldn't help but notice your Total Chaos products go further up the tailgate. Do you think those Total Chaos would be more effective at their job because of that?

I am just curious as I've only seen that Rago Fab brand sell them. I am not even entirely sure who needs stiffeners, I don't believe I do at the moment but I may need to look into them some time down the road if my wallet permits my dream build

 

To be expected, this dealer is known to be pretty bad.

I hear you, I’m an ex mechanic and was brought up to do things correctly with all things on life… but I do know how some other people operate.

This was a free service and was the only reason I was at the dealer.

My dealer is useless, being on an island I am stuck with them until I leave…

 

Used the truck as storage for some junk while cleaning out the garage to get my other cars out.
