What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where did you source the stickers from? Thanks

 

I bought it on ETSY and it took a while to get here from Lithuania, but it is a high quality, domed sticker that is the same style of the Leer sticker that it replaced. Most of my mods I want to be subtle and factory looking.

I had to strike while the iron is hot. At less than a week old, the wife looked at the new truck and said "those tires look small". From SR5 stock to Falken Wildpeak 265/75/16.

 

Well done

 

Applied yellow reflective stickers to all doors for the tweekers and boozy broads.

+30 HP

 

Dammit. Those look good. I may have to do the same.

 

Acetone removes paint too!

 

Yes. I watched the detailer as he cleaned a few spots. He said in minimal quantities it works and he then does other things after to protect the finish. It’s a 6 hour process for entire truck according to him

 

It’s a very nice throttle controller option for the Tacoma. I really like that it is powered by the Obd-2 vs the actual pedals power. Simple installation and love the fact you control from your phones app. I assumed I’d want it on the very highest setting but found after lots of trying I’m very happy with a sport +2 setting for everyday driving but love the option of change + or -
Another great feature is it’s not active in reverse so you don’t have to be scared of plowing into something from increased acceleration. Many other great features also.

 

Got her back early...

TRD lift, 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires.

Turned out exactly how I had hoped it would. Perfect to me.

 

Looks great, at some point I will install a lift. Already have the 265/75/16 on. Firestone Destinations X/T

 

Got my cheap tonnaeu cover today. Its made by Vitamotors and its actually not that bad for $160. The mounting solutions might be a bit suspect, but I can fix that myself.

 

Finished fabricating my Auxbeam engine bay mount.
1/8" 3003 aluminum bent using a vise brake.

I wanted enough space to remove the fuse box covers without having to remove the bracket so I put the bolts on the bottom of the bracket which turned out to be a major pain to install because I didn't leave enough space to get a socket around the bolts. If I ever have to remove it I will swap the bolts out for hex head bolts instead.

 

Every time I see a rig like this I feel like selling my DiamondBack and making the switch. The DB is secure (which is why I bought it) and I like that I can strap stuff to it, but add a CrossBin and the bed becomes really limited. I had a cap (topper) on my '92 Chev K2500 (still have the truck, cap sold) and you could actually live in the bed.
Your set up look killer.

 

Man this looks great. If you want to make another I’d be a buyer.

 

Just an FYI, I have heard that the ODB 2 port is not meant to be plugged into full time and that a constant draw on it overtime causes weird problems. Many issues with those insurance companies that give you a device to plug in for discounts. I believe most have gone to a different device instead of the OBD2 plug in. May want to research it a bit tube sure.

 

Added the Z Precision cup holders. I love mods that take less than 10 minutes.

 

It's actually pretty easy to make. 3003 Aluminum bends pretty easily.
You just need a jig saw, file, drill, and vise (the vise brake just makes the bends look better)

This summer when I get time to reorganize my garage so I can have a proper space to work I might consider making a couple more of these.

 

Added the firefighter sticker from work. Adds 5 hp, and keeps me out of trouble .
