What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thx! Been wanting to do this for a while. Since the truck only has 5k miles on it I wanted to get nice new parts to match, but you could save a lot of cash grabbing a used one from eBay. All the used ones I found were damaged though.

Anwyays, pn's:

64742-04010 Pocket Box
64074-04011 Cover
90148-A0006 (x6) Bolts

The OEM bolts are M6 thread pitch and use a t25 torx.

 

Damn, I had almost decided that the Perry bumps will be my choice of bump stop in the rear but now I'm going to wait and see how the revised version he sends you works.

 

Sell the free ones? Mercenary, but ...

 

This probably depends on your wheeling type, but on fire roads, forest roads, and open desert are where I spend the bulk of my time offroad. For technical stuff (which I admittedly have only done a little bit with these bumps) I did not notice anything to be concerned about, no loss of articulation etc.

 

Cancel. Found it in a previous post of yours: https://www.uptopoverland.com/colle...tacoma-retrax-bed-rack?variant=32696284184707

 

Started fabbing a holder for my fuel cans. Sure I could go NATO and get a premade holder but the Scepter cans are just so much cheaper.

Just waiting on some rivets to get delivered to fasten it all together. Getting a welder is in my future, just not for this project.

 

I have the RCI sliders (front skid on the way) and I expect them to be way more than I'll ever need. RCI has a good reputation and many folks here have their stuff.
When I picked up my sliders at their factory and peaked through the windows, I was pretty impressed with the space and all the automation they had there. Some pretty busy robots!

Looks like it is coming right along.

This is from Meso’s Instagram.

 

Awesome job with the cubby install. Would you happen to have to Toyota part number for the cubby? I think I'm going to do the same thing.

 

Dang it! I went to opposite direction and put a black tip on to hide it in the tire.
"I coulda had a v-8"

On the emblem, it was easy to reach the screw, no need to remove the actual TSS. There are actually 4 clips on a '23, but now there are 3 on mine.

 

I do almost no technical stuff whatsoever. I'm all about moderate and high speed. I find my bump stops very often and have very clean spots on my frame to prove it lol

 

Finally installed my xmas presents lol. Diode Dynamics ss fogs. I was able to do the drivers side from the top w/o grill or fender liner removal. Passenger side I removed tire, (servicing uca’s already anyway) and opened fender well liner.
Installed vertex offroad seat covers last week.

 

Great job! How long did it take you to do this?

 

Did the viper cut yesterday after long procrastination. Definitely worth it, looks more aggressive

 

They are very good quality. Just make sure you put some anti seize on the bolts for the oil change panel on the engine skid….ask me how I know The sliders are very solid, very impressed with them so far.

 

Got it all shined up and the ton of pollen that was covering it. Tomorrow is a local truck show. Might swing by for a bit.

 

You happen to have the part number ??

 

That's where I'm at. I'll report back when I get the new bumps.
