What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Those wheels. LOVE

 

My Prinsu racks came in today. Got the topper rack put together and installed. I'm going to have to wait for the cab rack because I had to order a hollow punch.

 

I took advantage of the 25 percent off sale and finally got my tire out of the bed. The long bed got longer and much more difficult to park. Wilco switch. Built pretty solid.

 

Something I learned with mine, you’ll likely loosen the topper rack and adjust it like crazy so you can get the sides to align perfectly with your cab rack. Took me like 30 minutes but I got mine plumb on with the cab rack and it looks great!

 

Thank you, appreciate the tip.

 

Finally got the yellow lenses for the SS3 Max Fog Lights and got them installed

 

I'm sure someone else has asked this already but did you get the limited edition Chevrolet Tacoma Raptor edition? Maybe I'm missing something but that's just what I can make out from the grill

Like the amber...just got the kid brother version Elites installed this weekend

 

Close it's actually a F-250 Ranger TRX Edition with a 1.1L 60HP Yogo engine for some POWER.


It's a joke between a friend who has a Chevy Colorado with a CRD (Chevy Race Developments) vinyl so I got a z71 badge lol. It's fun seeing peoples reactions and it's usually the person is confused, laughs, or thinks I'm a totally idiot for having z71 badge on a Taco all of which are great

 

Installed driver side CB antenna bracket and laid out all the components, tested and tuned the antenna, got it to SWR 1.3 on channel 1 and 1.1 on channel 40. Run the wires through the firewall and hooked it up to the battery.

Next Saturday we’ll do the final install - run the coax to the cab, install the control box, figure out a good spot for the mic and do some more tuning since I’m also adding a spring mount to the mix.

 

Installed said skid plate.

 

Nice. Dig the paint job. It will serve you well when you have to repaint it once you do a little offroading.

 

Before (color is different due to the lighting differences - it is a 2020 Cement)



After

 

how are these as a step? I know that's not what it's made for but just curious. I hate how side steps come out way to far. These look good.

 

Very Sexy!

 

Right on time.

 

Nice Chukka boots, they almost match the purse. But seriously, that’s a great deal for a set of sliders. Let us know how they hold up on obstacles.

 

Very interested in how things turn out. Considering a CB instead of the current handheld Cobra. Please keep us posted.

 

I have a 30-year-old hand-help CB unit that can connect to car-DC-port or batteries and it sits in my truck. I bought it mainly for trips I took decades ago between Indiana and west coast ... times were different then with several "next gas 50 miles" locations that were NOT exaggeration. I did have to scrape some corrosion off the battery contacts about 6 months ago because of years of non-use.

 

My set are rechargeable battery powered handhelds. Yours is probably much better. Does it use an external antenna?
