What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Remote start, installed kicker cs 6x9, and kicker mid range, very excited to finish the rest of the audio install

 

Amazon....been a couple weeks and they seem nice still

 

Last night installed NAPA brand H9, clear coat, no special tip, 65 W, 3000 lumens (their claims). Light does seem to go further than before if not being brighter than H11. I do not buy from amazementzon.

Ordered an RCI steel transmission skip to go with the yet-to-be-delivered front steel skid plate ... and RCI tossed in the converter covers for free.

Installed the third cargo rail against the back of the cabin. Now I may be a complete putz and return the T30 bit to Lowes unless someone can give me a better future use than smashing walnuts.

 

I ain't yo Mamma but it sounds like you know that's not the thing to do. Someone else may damage or not be ale to do something because they ended up buying your slightly used return.

 

whats the story?

 

what a putz

 

Washed off my trip to Idaho

 

AlphaRex LUXX Series LED Tail Lights, Interior vleds (5k), Sequential Turn Signals (black lens) and a red start button (that chrome ring has got to go).

 

You can never have too many tools (that's my excuse). When I needed the T30 I went all in and have a full range of Torx drivers from T2 to T70. Some have come in handy for working on my bikes too.

 

Great looking rig

 

They're Coverado from Amazon. Cost about $160 for the whole set. Kinda weird to install but they are really comfortable and fit the seat well. They seem like good enough quality to last a while, and since they were on the inexpensive side- I wont worry if they get a little messed up from my dog

 

Yes! Use the insurance money to get a high clearance bumper.

 

Front lt is 96.69% complete, besides the heim outers. Other than that, test wheeling it this weekend!

 

First time posting in this thread. Just installed new Falken Wildpeak A/T3W on my new-to-me Tacoma. May go bigger one day, but had to get the "car tires" (Mastercraft Stratus HTs) the dealer had installed off ASAP. The Falkens are a little noisier on the highway, but I can just crank up the stereo. I had them throw the Mastercrafts in the bed. They only have a couple of hundred miles on them so hopefully I can sell them on to someone... wife's RAV4 is ready for some new shoes too.

A big shout out to Jordan (@Discount Tire) for reaching out. He was able to save me almost $100 with a price match.

I know they aren't the honkin' meats that could go under it with some new wheels, a lift and other mods, but it suits me for now. With the OTT performance tune by Paul (@PNWTacoma) and these new tires it runs like a dream.

Thanks for all of the tips and tricks everyone's posting here and elsewhere. Coming from a couple of Tundras I was worried that a Tacoma wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it's been terrific so far... and the folks on this forum have been great from day one. A number of other updates big and small to do now, but this one's off my list.

First photo is from a week or so after I bought it (with the grandma tires). The rest are from today. Happy that it looks more like a "truck" now. Plus I'm no longer worried about getting around in the rain and snow here. Win-win!

 

i neglected my engine air and cabin air filters well over a year. replaced those and washed my back seat floor mat

 

welcome to TW! Nice score on the lights.

Light bar looks sweet. how did you mount it? I have seen the bracket for 30 in but nothing for a 20 in.

thanks

 

@TRDRed the truck looks fantastic! It's amazing how the Falkens make it look just a little more rugged. More truck like. Thank you for the recognition, it was our pleasure assisting you with your tire purchase. Thanks for the pics! Red and black are our favorite colors.

 

Good to know will keep an eye out

 

I did Raptor liner bed liner kit. Personally I don’t like powder coat that much. Once it starts to chip you have to basically start over from what I’m told. It’s not very effective to just “touch it up”.

I did not do bash plates, wish I would have. I think they can be added on though, I’m going to ask about that

 

I need this.
