What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Taco Easter Egg, Behind Dash Cluster | Tacoma World

 

I was looking to do the same was curious on how much it actually improved

 

Quite a bit of improvement, it should do better than the stock on wet black pavement and off-road at night. Pretty cheap mod, try it.

The projector reflectors are set for the right focus for a halogen bulb filament, so it looks normal if you stay with them.
I didn’t even have to readjust my headlights after the swap.

LED’s have the wrong shape for the reflectors and throw a weird pattern, so that’s why you need to update the whole light assembly with them if you want more normal and focused LED lighting.

 

A good idea. Might pick those up. That is an area that takes a beating on rocks.

 

The curtain airbags are actually located behind the headliner and run the length of the cab from the A-pillar to the C-pillar just above the top of the door sill. When the curtain bags deploy they push the headliner down and usually deform it along that edge. The grab handles are attached in such a way that they break free of the cab mounts thus assisting the headliner deformation but stay attached to the headliner itself to avoid becoming a projectile. I’m sure the airbag would deform the Molle panel upon deployment instead of sending it into an occupants head. I just wouldn’t want to be the one to test that theory lol.

 

Yikes!

 

Got my 3d printed left switch panel from etsy from Fitzaprint. Since I was a repeat customer he gave me a little cool 3d printed Taco too.

 

how long ago did you buy those? they've been OOS forever

 

Not the first time a Tacoma owners rescued a Jeep owner

Couldn’t miss the opportunity but all kidding aside, glad the kids okay.

 

This is cool! Might need to fire up the laser and make something out of this. Trailer hitch receiver plug? Definitely going to be some sort of wall art for the garage though.

 

Picking up a Leer dcu tomorrow.
Any tips on the future build? Trying to convince the wife of bed camping.

 

Added a pormido triple dash cam. Removed the factory mirror and hid the wiring in the headliner. Used the factory wire cover as well. Front cam is getting moved so I don't care about that wire right now. Planning on extending the camera wires to the front grille and inside the bed. Don't need to see in the cab or what my eyes see.
@ClassyTacos still running this?

 

Same here...

 

How you like the caliraised light bar?

 

got a sticker of that taco on the inside of my console coin box that i bought a couple of years ago...

 

My next episode of my DIY camper build is up on YouTube - EP:2. I made some good progress in this episode and so far, so good with the design and build. Thanks for checking it out. TbT

MillerCat Shield. Nice product. It would definitely be a time consuming PITA to steal my cats now.

 

Today I re-torqued all my front and rear suspension and slider bolts/nuts. I didn't expect much of a change but several bolts were surprisingly loose. I usually do a visual inspection pre trip and figured that was good enough. I've been wrong before.

PSA: Check your nuts.

 

I need to do this, thanks for reminding me!
