What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you post pics yet? Curious how these look!

 

Body Armor Highline front bumper and a winch. I have a flatlink ordered, just hasn't arrived yet, so please ignore the ziptie.

 

I'd say just drive it and enjoy it.. as needs arise mod accordingly. I am not one for spending loot on things unless they serve some sort of purpose. I'll be doing a couple mods here in the near future to add an anytime front camera and adding spotter mirrors. After 3 years I still can't get comfortable parking this thing like I was in my first gen...

If your looking for some functional and budget friendly mods check out my build thread .. it might not be your cup of tea, but much like you I hate throwing money at my truck just because.

Nice bumper and install. Do you notice the added weight in normal driving?

 

I only installed it yesterday, so I will let you know after a week or 2. I do notice it sits a little more level with the camper shell on the back.

 

Dude. Your hand is gigantic.

The best thing I did was put a front camera on. I had a 2000 Tacoma for 19 years then bought my current 2019. The amount of times I park on the lines is insane, I still have muscle memory for that 2000. But with the camera at least I'm not running the front bumper through walls or someone's grill.

 

Just hit 100,000 10 days before my 6 year mark of owning my truck. The weather was really nice this weekend so I spent Sunday detailing it.

The day I bought it.


To today

 

Finally got around to installing color matched bumper caps. Pretty happy with the paint match!

 

Looks great!

 

so it did bring the front down a bit? I have a TRD lift and was wondering if it would need stiffer springs for a bumper like that.

 

Finally got around to installing this custom MESO 9-switch left side panel that I've had for ~ a year. Paired it with some AOB switches.



Per normal, much longer post in my build thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/drizzohs-21-off-road-build.748190/page-9#post-28364774

 

Same here. I'm still used to that first gen. I could get within inches in the front and know exactly how much room I had. This truck is like I'm totally lost up front. If it wasn't for the rear camera I'd probably be lost out back as well

 

Pulled up its VIN on Canadian Toyota site and found 2 recalls. ("Safety and Limited Service.")

Will be calling ahead and scheduling and confirming eligibility.

Block heater and 3rd brake light.

Be careful mounting anything that can become a projectile in a crash high up. I put my axe and shovel low in the bed so there's zero chance it could come through the rear window in an accident.

 

Installed this home made 1.75" Tube Bed Rack, that I will be modifying and setting up for long distance overlanding.

 

Which hood decal is that and where did you get it?

 

Turned 15,000 miles so it deserved a Wash and Wax.

 

I have one very similar to this and love it. Mine is has velcro between the seat and the back so I can take off only the seat to wash. It's awesome..

 

Siped my tires today with the tread doctor tool!
