What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That’s what I’ve heard too. Early sidewall cracking. And I’m the same way. I think these trucks look better without tire shine

 

I did mine in April best $ spent no question

 

my buddy sends me pics with his truck all washed up with tire shine I don’t have the heart to tell him I hate it lol

 

Thanks! I used an adhesive-backed weatherstrip I found at Home Depot - cut two equal-length pieces per side and doubled them up to allow more overlap with the tonneau seal.

Grabbed a photo of the product for reference.

 

see now what you made me do

 

nice truck…totally off topic but I need a hood scoop on mine it just looks better

 

So I forgot about this. I installed my El Cheapo Amazon "Pro Style" lights about a month ago or so and have had no issues. Not sure if they are different from actual Pro lights, and I don't really care as I have fully embraced late stage truck ownership at this point and just wanted a non broken light.

The replacements are blacked out where my OEM backup sockets were chrome. Otherwise, inside instead of saying made in Mexico like the OEM, the Amazon ones say Made in China of course. I did swap all the replacement bulbs with my OEM ones and I guess I have some slight concerns on long term quality, but late stage ownership... They fit the same as OEM.

What I ordered.

 

will you put anything on the end or just leave it?

 

I think only the front skid comes in aluminum. It's a trade off because aluminum is softer and 'stickier' so my understanding is that if you're going to use the skid much steel is much better. My intent is to not push the limits of my armor, but since I live in the Rockies there is a very good chance I will use it. My 4Runner's factory skid is didn't look very good.

FWIW, this is the paint RCI says matches their powder coat perfectly to use for touchups: Krylon 'Rust Tough' Semi-Flat Black Rust Preventive Enamel

 

I did a thing!

 

Fixed the Taco lean.

 

Just like Alice's Restaurant. Or any bar in the Outer Rim.

 

Check the "Cheap Mods you are Proud of" thread, that plastic porch lath stuff can make sliding a heavy box EASY

 

Bunch of projects got knocked off:

 

What projector did you use for high beam? And is it hi/lo?

 

Remember to label the cans so you always have water cans that only ever held water ...

 

uhmmm.......colors

 

I like that. It looks super clean, do you have a link for that gap filler?

 

OK, I’m addicted to proper lighting….

Morimoto headlights
Meso tail lights
VLed back up and marker
Morimoto 4bangr fogs
Cali Raised light bar up top
Rough country bar on the winch bumper
Rough Country 2” spectrum flush mounts on the Taco Garage rack, they are BRIGHT

I figured today would be a good day to put my ear buds in, and listen to the Shawn Ryan show while working on the lighting. Spent most of the day thinking about all the brothers I’ve lost over my 22 years in service. I think they would like to know that they are all still in our thoughts on this day.
