What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today, but over the last week I got a cab mount relocate with the DRT Fabrication kit installed, SCS BR6s, and 35 X 11.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers. It finally has the stance that I was looking for.

 

These trucks bring me joy.

 

Nicely done. I didn’t know that was even an option on these trucks.

 

It’s not an OEM option, it’s third party aftermarket.

 

Yeah the housings for the headlights were hard to get open, i used a heat gun to open them. I couldnt bring myself to put headlights inside the kitchen oven lol

 

Just installed a set of Amazon LED lights for my bed. Super simple install and gets the job done. I’ll be able to see inside my bed at night.

 

Yeah, i have to aim mine down just a tad bit too. They are easy to adjust though

 

Oh that’s cool. I figured the aftermarket was just copying a factory option.

 

Happy to report that the driver side seat heater I installed appears to be functioning just fine. Always nervous about something that complex functioning at the end of the project. If you decide to go the route of DIY seat heaters with covers that sit on top of the factory upholstery, give the covers some time to relax and break-in; I recommend at least two weeks. Also note that if the passenger side feels weak in the heat department, that cover may not be as broken in as the drive side if you ride solo most of the time.

 

Got the KDMAX Lite tune done the other night, as well as having Chris also fix my speedometer. Went with the lite because of my 4.88 regear. After discussing it with Chris it would have made the truck too punchy with normal and the regear. Truck runs very smooth now, and I can even tell what speed I am actually going now. Truck is running the way I want it to now. Highly recommend the tune. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/kdmax-pro-xt-tune-by-paparee-and-twtaco.713699/

 

Threw me off with the “Chris fix”

 

Guess there are multiple Chris's that can fix things... who'd of thunk. Side note: I want this shirt for no reason what so ever. Off to find it... ha... thanks!

 

Installed Hooke Road passenger side locking storage door.

Fits a 7.5" AR






I'm happy for the $50 it cost on Amazon. It comes with some VERY cheesy M5 screws to mount into the plastic. I instead used steel bolts and nuts with washers for the front facing mount holes. I also added expanding foam because it does not lock snug out of box. Weight is just over 11lbs.

It's not going to be impossible to get into but I required fixed locking storage to comply with state firearm storage law.

 

This post is not helping my internal debate to move from 285’s to 35’s. It looks sweet!

 

Thanks, lots of cutting and hammering but the stance is worth it!

 

Had the same with a reciprocating saw blade all the way in, i jeard it get picked up off the road

 

Saw this the other day, guy made it in-house

 

So 5/8 grommet works, not a 3/4?

 

no pics....but today I saw a plain ford ranger with raptor lights in the grill that I guess wanted his truck to look like a tacoma

 

I saw a Hyundai Santa Cruz with raptor lights
