What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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 LE KAPMOZ 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)

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

$11 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

 

Looks great!

 

I added Amazon smoked sequential turn signals. Almost rid of chrome! Also had my apprentice replace my crap license plate LEDs with a different Amazon brand. The last ones both flickered and drove me nuts. Next step is to finish interior LEDs and then install RCI trans/cat skid plate

 

Installed an oem TRD pro grill before work this morning, for anyone doing this get yourself a clip removal tool and if you've got the camera install it on the grill insert prior to bolting the grill into the surround.

 

Got all my patches up there too. Love the look!

 

He wondered in one night after I grilled, but he has a heated dog house the neighbors put out. They feed all the local animals here.

 

How much for the shocks?

 

The possum made an offer, Ill let you know if he falls through

 

WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE FROM?

 

They're on Amazon and probably ebay

Mine wasn’t the weight it was pushing up while laying down underneath it to bolt the brackets lol I use 3 cartons of kitty litter for each side. My lock is a bit offset. Is yours? It wasn’t terrible just not as easy as YouTubers film and make it seem

 

What trim do the black versions come with? Didn’t know they had those.
