What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I approve @musicisevil 's comment. Esp because of what I experienced installing an aftermarket part that interfered with the frame hole plug part# 90950-01A24. I believe the problem on the newer versions of the part has been corrected, but in my case I was told by the vendor (not verbatim) to just pry them out of the way. The product was otherwise high quality, but being AR (I blame my vocation) I was sort of surprised by the response. I thought there must be a reason that, after all the R&D, Toyota provided these plugs. Long story short I modified the aftermarket part so the plugs could be used as designed.

 

LOL - yeah I get what you mean. Did get 10% off, free shipping and some "free" swag including some nice soft loops though!

 

Same on my 18.

 

For any that have a toolbox like I do, I bolt my spare right into the underside of the toolbox. Just a couple of lag bolts fed up through 2 tire bolt holes and into the bottom of the box.

I have had a couple of flats in very bad spots where it meant getting the spare from under the truck in mud, and another time in a shallow running creek. Easier now to just unbolt it from inside the toolbox and slide it out.

I drive a lot of washouts like in the photo, and my spare was dragging through sharp rocks and always getting hooked up. Lots of room under the truck now with no tire hanging there.

 

Just got my Platform rack, light bar, and awning installed by Antidote Outdoors.

Install went smoothly, and I set up my appointment over the phone.
Arrived early to make sure this place was legit.
The people working there were chill and very welcoming.
They said it would take a few hours to install so I grabbed an Uber and went to Starbucks.

They actually finished earlier than they said they would which was cool.
When I got back from Starbucks my truck looked like a totally different truck. I am very satisfied and excited with how everything turned out.

Thanks, Antidote

 

Disrupts air across the roof, so the flow isn’t laminar thereby reducing drag (2 mpg) and keeping the rear wheels firmly planted - above 218 mph. Otherwise, it’s a tracking device for car insurance purposes.

 

Started the black out process. Figured I'd try the the topographical ones and I ended up really liking them. Onto the interior next.

 

You would need vortex generators for that or a rough textured paint

 

Took my Taco to clean her up before her first road trip. Man this silver really pops in the sun but couldn’t capture that pearl metal flake in pictures.

 

Removed my prinsu rack. Most of the rack was just unusable because of the camper.. so I'm going to go without it. Maybe replace it with a Sherpa Animas.

Before.





After.

 

I'm running out of actual things to do





Before anyone says anything, they're wedged in so they don't move and they're really not weighty enough to worry about in an accident. They're lighter than my phone

 

Which one makes it to the other side of the dash first in a hard left turn?

 

They don't move.

 

means you're not driving flat out enough!


when in doubt, flat out!

 

Sorry I missed this during the week of festivities. They’re KB Voodoo base rails sitting on top of a retrax Xr cover! Very impressive system and I plan on doing the upgrade kit to add on a proper bed rack. Currently I just use the crossbars as a bike rack

Taco no go

 

Well, that’s no fun at all!

 

Agree 100%

 

Be careful you could loose a eye

 

I wear protection
