What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome!

 

@TacoYankee At least the fake air damn has a function now and there is the cool factor.

 

Can’t take credit for the original idea, but the price was so much cheaper then the pre made options I had to do it. Going to put a fire extinguisher on the other side, going to take a little planning because I don’t have the cubby over there but I think I can do it with the extra pieces left over. Actually I wonder if I could add the cubby?

 

I averaged 22mpg for this drive today. 23 Sport 4x4 with 17" Wildpeaks.

 

2nd gear "chirp" today

I do have the KD MAX tune and today I needed to get out of a bad situation and I floored it while in 1st gear. When it hit second gear I actually got a little "chirp" from the back left tire!

 

enjoy it while it last

 

Glad to hear that you were able to get out of that bad situation. I had a similar thing happen to me on my daughter's birthday. We were all in my truck and crossing traffic slowly (traffic stopped to let us cross) when a large Chevy SUV was travelling fast in the shoulder lane- trying to get past traffic. I had to floor it to get through the intersection before he hit us. It was very close, but my truck was able to beat the SUV by a fraction of a second. My wife even said "thank God your truck is tuned". There was no hesitation when I floored it. I got a dashcam after that and still hate thinking about how bad it could have been.

 

Way better now!

 

Awesome!

 

Fucking possums trying to steal my old off road shocks. Had to snag him by the tail after he made a break for under my tool box.

 

Dug my truck out of yet another foot+ of snow. This week has seen 6ish feet at my house. Once compacted we’re lookin at 4ft.

edit: the snow on the truck is the overnight!

 

What are the materials and where did you get them?

 

Dang? I thought it was a Van.

 

Love it! It’s all in the details

 

Slot-nuts for the rail - $12 for 4 but you only need 2 -

$12 T Slot Nuts for Toyota Tacoma Bed Rails Cleats Bed Rack Rail Accessories for Tundra Pickup Truck Deck Bike Mount W/Stainless Button Socket Cap Screw (4 Packs)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TTHNWPN

END OF ROAD Original Quick Fist - 2 sets for $10 each

$13 END OF ROAD Original Quick Fist Clamp for mounting tools & equipment 1" - 2-1/4" diameter, 2 Count (Pack of 1) - 0010

Then I bought a 3’ Pierce of aluminum bar at Lowe’s $12, along with a package of screws $2, and a assorted box of washers and lock washers $6

Total cost for the mount was $54 and I should have enough extra parts to build an extinguisher mount. A little more than I had hoped, which is why I try not to add up my project costs , but a MOLLE panel was $70 before I even bought the parts to mount anything to it.

The size of the Axe has some flexability but the shovel is a tight fit, here is what I used. I momentarily thought about putting a larger shovel on the other side but the lack of a cubby meant I would need to drill holes which I was trying to avoid.

Mini D Handle Shovel - I paid $20 but it’s $30 now -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X47NJY

Fiskars Chopping Axe, 28-Inch - I had one already but they run around $50 - https://a.co/d/3Ges2mT

 

Moved and what do you have. A lot of dang boxes. Found these and thought I would incorporate
them somewhere.




Did time for these guys.

 

Hehe, he may have been looking for a place to stay warm. Glad you took him out, alive.

 

Installed some MESO tails. I love these things! They look amazing and the quality is top notch. I could not be happier with them. I’m not a fan of the clear lenses. The dark red looks perfect on the MGM.

 

Looks like an RC truck next to a picnic table
