What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dang. That would be about maybe 6 or more beers for that job. For me anyway.

 

I received a set of WeatherTech ventguards from a friend for Christmas for the Taco.

 

And a kind soul nearby made this for me.

 

Indeed, thank ya Marine

 

cool stuff - been looking at the Wolfbox brand myself for the rear view now that I am running a canopy - the model 900 one in particular, but doing research still.

@1TACOTONY any insights on what brand would be appreciated. thanks!

 

Are those 35's?

 

I've been thinking about getting those. How do you like them so far?

 

I purchased #40 and #55 Torx sockets yesterday in anticipation of installing bed stiffeners in the next couple of months. Total Chaos and one other whose name I can't recall at the moment but they about $20 more than the TC's and have 2 "ribs"?? running along the edges of the brackets whereas TC only has one.

 

Battery test failed at the dealer, but I can put a battery in easy enough so I went to crappy tire.
The little white under tray is a cute touch from Toyota.

 

When I installed my Mini 2 I had planned on using the Donger unit but instead decided to use the Garmin Parking Mode Cable. I have used the parking mode cable in the past with the Dash Cam 46 and it works really well. The cable allows you to set a voltage so that when your battery hits a certain voltage it will shut off the camera so that it doesn't fully drain your battery.

 

I picked up these a long time ago to cover the Chrome...

I put those metal sleeves on all the controls. Easier to grip in the winter time especially.

 

I had 2 30” light bars on my semi and a 50” on the roof of my wifes jeep and I bought button head Allen key bolts for them. Got them on the perfect spot and tightened the shit out of them with lock tight. Then drilled the Allen key hole out.

 

It took me alot of research as well. Went through looking at alot of brands and looking at all the specs like Garmin,blackvue and many others. I ended up going with the

$250 wolfbox G900 rear view mirror camera, mirror dash cam 4K front and 2.5K rear, smart full 12’’ touch screen, backup camera for car, GPS, WDR, night vision, included 64GB card

wolfbox G900 because it checked all of the boxes of what I was looking for. high definition, great fitment,ease of install,clarity of video and didn't have to add another item to the window or a switch as it replaced my factory mirror. Overall very happy with it so far

 

Me too

 

Ya mine failed test (started at home and died at grocery store in -35) and was replaced under warranty. Can't believe how bad the original Toyota batteries are in Canadian winters. You should be good now. I've had good results with crappy tire batteries in past.

 

Even though I have a booster in the truck I did not want to get stuck, even to have to lift the hood in below zero temps. So it was, replace just in case.

 

Added Tacoma emblems and modified SR (formerly SR5) emblem . Also got rid of the steelys and got these 16” wheels for $500

 

Sandblasted my new C4 Fabrications-“Overlander Rear bumper” this morning to get a really good profile..
then put a prime coat of Plasite 7133 and letting it cure it’ll be cured and ready to sand and top coat by morning
