What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How are you liking the amber covers ? Sufficiently function with covers on ?

 

Damn!.....

 

Added some reto-ish graphics to break up all the satin black wrap that I had installed to cover up Toyota's crappy paint that was fading already after 5 years.

 

Got a pro accelerator (horn) as trade from a fellow T.W. Member to replace the stock (spoon) accelerator.
Much appreciated!
As good as it's going to get.

 

Coincidentally, a few weeks after I put them on I finally got switched to day shift so I hardly drive in the dark anymore but when I did for those few weeks, I noticed a decent improvement during foggy conditions at night. On normal nights with no fog I didnt notice a change in the light output, just the color really.

 

More Roc block mud flap trimming ( my 285s rub a little on my flaps) and a flex test in the yard. Rubbing issue solved again (for now) ..

 

Dang, if it'll do that to your truck what is it doing to her skin???

 

Finally got around to reinstalling my Diamondback (which I missed dearly)
Before I removed it a couple weeks ago, I got a paint pen and marked centerpiece position on both sides for later fitment. Worked like a charm

 

Well.. this happened yesterday. Stupid people not paying attention. Does anyone have a passenger side TRD pro tail light laying around? The body shop can't take it till August 25th..

 

Damn, dude. That sucks. Sorry this happened to you.

 

That sucks man. Did they stop? Were they insured?

 

They did, and he was insured. We had to wait two hours for the police to show up. He got a ticket.

 

brother I hate to say it but you may need to replace the piece. I’ve had bug spray take the graphics off of my running shoes and clothes. It’s harsh shit.

suncreen comes out eventually, maybe switch to a natural or holistic bug repellant

 

Covered up some chrome (Eloological Bumpershelz - TPO)

 

I have that same Husky bin for tools, straps, etc. Dust and waterproof and it keeps from getting too much junk to carry around by giving me a set space to keep things.

 

Installed some Clazzio seat covers (dark gray leather)

 

Exactly. I keep all my straps and rope in it. Keeps the tool tray tidy and I don’t have to fish them out anywhere else. I like the multiple clamps that act as multi sided hinges. Pretty clever little box.

 

SMH... Distracted driving is everywhere. Your not even safe parked.

 

I'm preparing to build a Bussmann RTMR Fuse/Relay Block based on the amazing build instructions by @tacozord. Since I'll need an add-a-fuse to run my switches I was gong to buy a MESO cover but of course they're all sold out and I wasn't really happy about the reviews of his v2 release. So, I went on to Thingiverse and found a few different fuse cover extensions before deciding to print the file from Ouroboro5 (link: (MY16+) Toyota Tacoma Extended Fuse Cover). I fired up my Creality CR-10 and the print came out looking great:





Unfortunately, while this print is well done, the inner supports are about 0.6mm too thick (the stock cover measures 2mm from the outside to the inside of the posts). But, nothing a few minutes with the Dremel won't fix:



Verifying the fit, which was great, I moved onto duplicating the stock fuse diagram in Illustrator and printing on Avery weatherproof labels (#15513):









Final install looks great, and now all I need to do is finish the Bussmann build (still waiting on parts) and figure out which fuse I'll tap so I can cut out the cover to fit the add-a-fuse wire.



In case anyone wants the PDF of the stock sticker (not sure if every trim level has the same diagram) I'll attach it to this post.

 

So true. I was completely stopped at the moment of impact. I just happened to look in my rear view and saw him coming. It definitely sucks I have to drive around a wrecked truck for the rest of the summer. I'm okay is the most important part.
