What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Total Chaos Bed stiffeners and Husky Liners for the front and back installed this morning. I really want to detail/wash it, but it's 114 today.

 

Too hot

 

I’m in agreement. But want a link for the plastic razor blade.

 

Fuck…. I’m about to put on a sweatshirt.

I didn’t like the red accents either. It was really easy to remove the original. Let it sit in the Texas summer sun for a couple of hours and used a plastic razor blade to get it started. It peeled off easily and cleaned it up with an adhesive remover. Being somewhat of a perfectionist it was more nerve racking putting the new one on. I got mine from ZixxerGraphix on Etsy. It’s been on the truck for a year and still looks great.

 

Found some really nice mellow trails today about 45 minutes from my house then got lost up there for a little while lol. But I was chillin since I knew this Tacoma would get me home and she did. What a capable off-road truck out of the box. It did so well love this truck man !

 

I've been trying to schedule brake service for a week now with small shops, NOBODY returns phone calls or schedule requests with quotes. So I'm like OK fuck it, off to the dealer I go for front brake resurface/pads. $200 is not bad I guess for dealer service, about what I expected. Even more amazing, is getting 88,000 miles out of my front brakes.

 

Looks like he removed the badges, I was curious what that would look like. Guessing that since he's in Canada, it's 4WD. I tried to order a 2WD from Wisconsin dealers and nobody wanted to touch my business. I'm guessing northern states just don't get them on the lots because nobody typically wants 2WD up there. I'd imagine Canada is the same if not even more 4WD heavy.

 

I was sitting in my campsite at Winnipeg Beach with nothing but time and great weather and before you knew it I had those TRD 4x4 stickers off. Cleaner look I think. Hey, it’s done, no going back.

 

Thank you! And they’re the Cali raised 25 degree trail sliders with the kick out.

 

If your truck isn’t that old you won’t even need the plastic razor blades. I wouldn’t use goo gone do the rubbing alcohol with diluted distilled water to wipe the very little amount of residue that will be remaining! @Carpedm

 

Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Amazon
Oh hell come on in
Arrived today Taco Bed net when needed and some more rope when I’m to lazy to pull out the ratchet tie downs.

 

I pulled mine off very easily, but i did it on a hotter day, then again that was 3 days after i just bought it brand new, so the doubble sided tape just came right off for all my decals.

 

Sold a toolbox off my Super Duty and hauled it in the Taco under the Diamondback. Had to remove the tool tray but she fit fine. Love the bed lighting when I checked on it this morning before taking off.

 

My Army Green came with the silverish stickers. Hated the look and removed them. If they were the black ones I would have left them on. Black on the AG looks good, plus mine has the silly expensive blackout package that I could have rejected but I would have given up the truck and would have had to wait another 3 months.

 

This is what it was like for me, they said hey we have what you want in White coming in, do you want white or do you want to wait 8 months for the dark grey, i said WHITE is fine ! ..

 

Installed a Yita motor tri fold tonneau. Was on sale on Amazon for 160. Quality good. Install Strait forward.

No goop. With a little heat, mine came right off with almost zero residue. Can't even remember what I used to remove the specks. I think a light rub with acetone. Washed surface and applied wax. No fuss no muss.
