What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's such a chameleon color. I saw one in person a couple weeks ago and it didn't appear to have any of that red tint to it. It looked more pasty orange. I much prefer this version of it.

 

Today I added the extra fancy Anti-Glare decal. Happy it's on cause man I forgot how bad that glare was!! First sunny day in a while yesterday and yup oooof she's bright!

 

Installed a tailgate auto-lock from Amazon and test fit some chains for Big Bear (also from amazon). Lock wasn't too tough to install, but I took my time. Still can't believe the truck didn't come with it. Pretty friggin' satisfying to hear it work though (I shouldn't have waited so long). Chains were snug, but I got them on.

Chains:

$80 Security Chain Company ZT741 Super Z LT Light Truck and SUV Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2

How do you like the tonneau cover? I'm considering it. Does it clean up well? We live in the desert so the truck sees a lot of dust in the summer & extreme temps (hot summers, cold winters). I'm meticulous about cleaning/keeping stuff looking nice. Hoping the peragon is a good choice.

 

Nice! I went with the same grille and love it

 

Installed Rc seat covers! Still have to do the rear seats

 

Here’s the pics finally completed the stealth light bar and ss3 pro fogs

both diode dynamics

 

Haven't done it yet, but Body Armor 4X4 is having a sale. Some pretty cheap sliders on the way!

 

with the TAN vinyl, does your badge sensor still work?

 

I had these on my 5th gen 4Runner and the buyer didn't want them, so I put the stock ones back on and gave him a discount on the sale price of the vehicle. When they were on the 4Runner, the bezels faded just from being in the sun. Baja Designs sent me replacement bezels and I just replaced them tonight. If I'm not too lazy, I'll install them on the truck tomorrow.

 

Seriously. Looks amazing

 

Awesome work!

 

Dang it. Looks like they only have them for SB?

 

I've got an access cab long bed. I've read the frames are the same but I'm taking a small chance. Hard to pass up if it'll work at this price. I reached out to the company and they said they haven't had anyone install it on an ACLB and to let them know if it works.

I'll need to do some modifications to get it to work with an arb skid plate anyway, so if it doesn't just bolt right up

Edit: I see you have a DCLB, might be sol as far as they go.

 

I think you’ll be good! SB and access cab should the same fit

 

Black vinyl and a sticker over mine. Zero issues

 

Been a minute since I've logged into this site to save some money!

Built a ski rack in my long bed out of t-slot extrusion with inspiration from https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTaco...de_a_diy_snowboardski_rack_for_the_bed_of_my/


Ordered all parts from tnutz precut and assembled. Had to cut some extra material to get the 10 series to fit into one of the tracks in the bed liner itself but that was minor. Attached to the bedrails using Hondo garage twist in nuts.

Gave myself a little extra space for the James Baroud ladder, a crate, and holding some camping propane.

Fits two sets of skis on rubber, can hold poles on the upper section as well! $130 or so all told!

 

Hmmm, coming here to save money? Maybe I've been doing it all wrong lol.
