What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You got it! I will try not to wreck them. I figure to squeeze the posts in back and gently pry the front corners with a thin plastic shim.

It's really not that noticeable...




Unless you get up close...

 

Looks great man! Adds a solid, finished look to the front. And no more pulling the tin foil plate for oil changes!

I like the anodized idea.

 

that is just static noise? are you trying to fall asleep while backing up?

 

Does this make you sleepy?

Ahhh the sweet sweet sounds of cement mixers backing up...

 

The e brake bracket. I hope that doesn’t flex too much on the trail. Reason being the line looks maxed out already.

 

You can bend them a little to get them out if the way. Just don't go crazy with the bends, and don't bend them back, leave them so the next time you
grease, you don't have to bend them again.

 

I rolled it back a little, to blow the oak leaves off everything.

 

Me too

 

Just installed new leaf packs and 5160's last night. Any noticeable differences with the durabumps and flip kit so far?

 

lol, i only ever heard them on Amazon vans, and given their inconsistent vehicle maintenance programs, i always assumed that buzzing backup beeper was a bad beeper!

 

I finally got around to installing the tool-less cupholder mod today (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tool-less-32oz-cupholder-mod.672736/). I went to Eastern Mountain Sports this morning (with a $10 rewards coupon in hand) and picked up a Black Diamond chalk bag (normally $21.95). No more watching the water bottle slide into the passenger side footwell when making a sharp turn.

 

New snow tires. About 2 weeks ago I purchased Michelin x-ice snow tires.

Was not happy with them. Yes, good on ice, but proved not so good in deep snow.

Luckily Kal Tire has a 30 day full refund program on new tires. So I exchanged the Michelins, and put on nokian hakkapeliitta lt3 which are more suited to snow, and allow me to do some winter off roading which I would not have dared to do in the Michelins. Size installed is 265 75 16.

A D load range so they are a bit more rugged for off road conditions. My KO2's are snow rated, but they are not very good in city snow driving. Too much sliding around, even with 500 pounds in the pickup bed. Was happy to take them off.

Oh, the tread depth on the Michelins x-ice snow in size 265 70 16, is only 10/32nds. The Nokians are 17/32.

 

Installed OEM headlights and OEM black LED fog lights on the SR5. Much better! Definitely recommend the FBC harness. Plug and play.

 

I installed the one touch rear window harness from the ktjo. It was super quick and easy to do.

 

I have never seen an Acess cab that color,,looks fantastic

 

Today I blacked out the badging.
Then I removed the decals.
And finally I ordered a new steel bumper with LEDs.

Only thing left is to maybe blackout the trim on the grill and the rear bumper. Have not yet decided about that.
And maybe add some ditch lights.

 

What’s this? I think I might want it
