What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The place that did the install on my UpTop Alpha rack skipped over the part about putting together the handles so I knocked that out tonight. I watched their video and @ClassyTacos video. You couldn’t be more right about those damn safety wires fraying on you!

 

Another Jonathan with an army green taco who installed a TRD exhaust too lol.. what are the chances
Got mine used for $320 with only 10 miles on it. Cut it after the axle and welded on the TRD tip again.

 

Yea, no. I had the oem JBL sub back there, unfortunately, not only does the oem box not work with any decent 8" aftermarket sub, the entire panel makes up the box, so if you take the sub out, you have to remove the panels too. I wasn't about to spend $500+ on the non-jbl plastic back panels just to have to spend another $800 for the custom box that fits in the passenger storage compartment side.

So, I bought this http://www.ground-shaker.com/index....acoma-double-cab-2005-2018&Itemid=104&lang=en and it takes up all the space that was left open after the panels were removed. Carpeting on the box matches the trucks carpet, all i need to do now is trim the top portion of the plastic panels to cover the brace along the lower rear window.

I'll post a pic as soon as I can get one snapped.

 

I realized I forgot to do this last night so I did a quick couple pics tonight. It would be better if my neighbor turned off his front lights so it was completely dark, since the iPhone automatically adjusts the shutter making the difference harder to see. It would have helped if I got the same angle too.

 

What size spare is that?

 

285/75/16

 

How hard was it getting it tucked up in there? I'm upgrading soon and the stock will be way to small. I've heard of guys just going postal on the frame rails with a sledge hammer to get a 33"+ tire in there. I'm trying to get as close to a 34" spare in (285/75 17), that will be my new tire size once I get them installed.

 

Truck got a little bit of snow on it today.... started at 1pm, still going.

 

What worked for me was wacking the guide tabs a bit and then relocating the spare tire hoist. Remove spare tire, use 12mm ratchet wrench and take off 4 bolts. Make 2 new holes towards the towing hitch and use 2 of the existing ones. I had to do this since M/Ts are typically taller than A/Ts so I was rubbing my diff slightly.

 

Cool, thanks! I'll get under there and see what i can do once I have the new spare.

 

Brings to mind the YT sneak peek vids. New Taco under wraps.

 

I wish! A jet ranger would have been alot better to take to confined spaces of the lake. But its just a just a baby Robinson.

 

I was thinking the same thing? Was about to upgrade to some LEDs for license lights and thought, why the heck would I want it to be easier for coppers or anyone to see my plates better?

i got the $7 glare mod also and it really is a great deal, it’s even got side specific markings on the back so all fits perfectly. Well sir, we’ll done!

 

Is it yours? Love helos.

 

...plus you still need to pay the DMV fees (although you can do it through the app). Also, the digitals only come in black on white and white on black. I'll wait until they upgrade the screen to color - I like my Yosemite plates.

First time I saw a digital one on the street I thought it was fake, because I knew DMV didn't get enough signatures to make white on black metal ones (they did get enough signatures to do yellow on black though). If we get enough digital ones, it'll put the guys up at Folsom State out of business.

 

I’m so glad to hear some people on here say this. I’ve installed all LED lights for the interior of my truck and every time I saw the LED lights for the license plate, I just kept thinking, why do I want to draw anymore attention to my plates? Lol so I kept the OEM halogen bulbs and bought the $7 anti-glare covers. They fit perfect and work great and sometimes when it comes to light on the license plate, less is better! Lol

 

This is a rental. Me and the wife have been planning, saving and budgeting and are almost ready for our own purchase of a Robinson R66 turbine. Its been a life goal of ours to own our own helicopter and has taken years. Didnt help this last 6 months though with an almost 20 percent increase for already expensive piece of flying metal haha but its going to happen soon!

 

I saved $260 by getting "no floor mats" on my 2022 and finally got some PRO all weathers......I think they give me 1.5 inch more ground clearance......its go time

 

How does it sound? Been thinking of getting that bc I had it on my previous truck.

 

Thanks for snapping a pic for me.
I wish they had a red lens so I could tap them into the brake lights
