What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up my new APF Off-road sliders. A local Canadian company who makes great stuff by the looks of it. I haven’t installed yet, it was a 12 hour round trip in a snow storm to get them. I ordered yesterday. Owner of the company reached out and let me know he had a set in stock with power coating I could have for the non power coat prices. Picked it up today. So happy.

Look awesome and Canadian made! From the looks of your front end that frozen slush looks like it was sending the Toyota Safe Sense into meltdown.

 

I think it was working for about an hour out of 12

 

Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners

 

Damn, you’re right. Guess I’ll have to stop and get some black spray paint on the way home from work today

 

Truck looks great. Are those Bradley V wheels?

 

Looks really good. Very interested to see these installed.

 

Nothing big, switched out the interior and license plate bulbs. Really didn't think I'd care too much about the interior lighting switch but man it makes a huge difference.

Also, added a center console tray and organizer, glove box organizer, and setup up the home link to open the garage doors.

 

Do you always have a habit of doing the left side of things first? Or did it just happen that way

 

That's about what I'm gettin', with 7,500 on the odo. It goes down to 16.9 mpg on my 13.5-mile commute sometimes when there's a lot of traffic. That's not good at all, for a Toyota Tacoma.

 

They appear to be SCS5s but I could be mistaken...

 

Threw on my demon shackles, used all four washers so they don't swing. Are they supposed to swing loose or not move anybody know?

 

Haha, I didn't even notice I did that. For hockey I always put on the left side then the right. Must just be a habit for everything now.

 

I think the wind at highway speed will push them back. I don't think there is a right or wrong.

 

Upgraded my key fob.
Feels pretty good and not cheap at all.

However the TRD Red color looks more red/saturated in photos. (Just an honest review incase someone was picking one up)


H9’s came in. Going to install them this evening.

 

I have the Taco Garage DMM and couldn't be happier with it. I just received my Auxbeam 8 gang switch unit and have been searching for a mounting location for the controller. How was installation of the Taco Garage kit and wire routing? Any input/photos would be appreciated. I do agree with you on Taco Garage customer service. Thanks

 

I have the DMM too. Installation was super easy can be done in 15 minutes. I didn’t want to put too much effort into routing the wires on this one so I just tucked it all into the weather stripping. The switch panel connector fits perfectly under it and the wires aren’t noticeable.

Auxbeam unit is not powering my compressor. I’m running 6awg to the bed of my truck and have another toggle switch panel back there. A dual arb may require using two leads on the Auxbeam.

 

Do you remember what kind of ceramic coating they used?

 

How do you add foam? This is great! I’ve been wanting more padding but do not want an aftermarket cover. Very nice job!

 

It's the company's own product if im not mistaken. The company is called RestorFX. They specialize in paint correction. And I believe the ceramic coatings use graphene.
