What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Then why aren't they aimed at the ditch (instead of straight down the hood)???

 

Installed my 23Zero 180R awning this past weekend. Here are a couple of quick shots showing the awning extended.

 

Looks sick! I want one of these but haven’t found a logical way to sell it to myself yet! In due time…

 

Ive been eyeing that one. How far does it atick out when open? The widest part i mean. Far enough you think it will be useful?

 

They are

 

Dropped my front bumper off for paint, ordered a winch and an Airaid dorkel.

 

Got my Taco at the beginning of the month. Lost my original to flooding during Ida. Since I got my new one I've:
-Did the chrome delete from AJT Designs, just wished someone made something to cover the center cup holder for MT that isn't a vinyl sticker. Also used the black door handle covers from MESO.
-Put on my old Covercraft seat covers.

-Replaced the interior lights, backup lights, and license plate light with

$18 iBrightstar Super Bright LED Bulbs Package Kit Accessories Fit for Toyota Tacoma 2005-2021 Interior Map Dome Lights + Vanity Mirror Lights + License Plate Lights + Back Up Reverse Lights, White

LEDs.

-Installed the Anytime Backup Camera.

-Added a molle panel to arm rest (Victory 4x4).

-Hardwired an always on power source for when I need to bring my Dometic with me.

-Removed the rear headrests.
-Harwired my dashcam (Rexing V1P with rear camera).

-Did the OVTune (I'm loving it).
-Chrome deleted exterior lettering and tinted windows.

-Removed OEM tonneau cover and put on my old tonneau cover (TruXedoSentry CT).

-Added the black inlays to the tailgate.

-Added molle panels to truck bed (Victory 4x4 for sides and CaliRaised for front).
-Install bed stiffeners (Victory 4x4).
-Installed OEM LED bed lights.
-Installed power tailgate lock.
-Added my original bed mat.

-Tried undercoating for the first time, I think I did a pretty good job. Used Woolwax Black.
-Installed Talon's Garage cat protector (and undercoated it).
-Did the AC drain mod fix (you can see the new outlet by the cat protector).

-Installed a motion activated security camera to monitor my Taco.

 

Honestly, it is perfect size for a couple of people. For my needs it works great. 23Zero makes a bigger version of the 180 also

 

Installed the Southern Style Off-Road Slimline full plate bumper. The instructions on their YouTube video are great and easy to follow. I was a bit nervous to start cutting but the end result was well worth it. I also installed a Smittybilt X2O GEN3 10K Winch and Baja Designs 20 inch Amber light bar.

 

On the actual truck in the lot, it doesn't have the fog lights listed. Just a plastic filler plate like an SR might have. The whole thing is weird and wants to be in my garage.

 

How much of a PITA was it to change the key housing? Been thinking about doing it as well.

 

Love the hardwired always on mod, whatd you use? Any tips or directions you can share?

 

Is the light bar dual color or is that a trick of the lighting?

 

I was liking the idea of that specific size, off the back of my Super pacific camper.

 

It was somewhat annoying. The thing that takes the longest is getting the transponder out safely. Everything else is quick and simple. There are a couple of videos on how to do it. You will completely destroy your original case in the process. A heat gun would be helpful for breaking up the glue that holds it in place. Personally I was just very patient and sliced off a tiny portion around the transponder until there was enough of a gap to pop it out. If you mess up the transponder I think it can be really costly however.

Thanks! I use the Dometic hardwire kit as mentioned. Though there are definitely cheaper options like the NOCO. I ran the wire directly from the battery through the boot and then under the trim until it was in the rear seat. Then I followed the path of the rear floor mats to the center console and stuck it on with some heavy duty velcro. You can screw it in, but I didn't want to do that. Let me know if the explanation isn't clear and I can take some pictures later.

 

My good friend in high school had a 1st Gen. So many damn good memories in that thing. Love seeing one in great shape like that.

 

Sent you a message.

 

Is there a legitimate vendor for the A-Pillar grab handle yet?

 

KJTO? Mine works perfectly!
