What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That’s funny; I actually gave that some thought, that maybe it’s not shrink wrapped for a reason. But then again, the factory 12 pin has a pretty substantial sheathing, so I don’t believe it really gets that hot.

Unless you mean putting shrink wrap on and letting the summer heat do its thing.

 

That’s truly all that matters.

 

Washed yesterday, then took it to Homey Depot to pick up a few items. Saw this Desert Sand colored taco in the lot.

 

Popped the top and put up a new RTT, retrax cover, roof rack and awning. Got a bit more lighting to do but I’m still working out my power situation

 

It looks to me from the post like the drl surround is inop on the driver side.

 

I have the spacer which made a small difference in low end power, have been considering the pipe too. I assume both were installed at the same time?

 

That's the infamous Quicksand!

 

?

 

That's funny because there are very few Tacos in my neck of the National Forest, but it seem like whenever I go to a Lowes or Menards there are other Tacomas there!

Expanded and added some rigidity to the bed cage, also to keep the tires from swaying back and forth.

 

Anyone have a good site for either an inlay or new Toyota center badge for the off-road grill. Painting mine black right now

 

Welcome to TW! Very unique push bar…like the fact that it is color coded to match your truck.

Edit: Went back to look and you forgot to take the chin strap off. I think it’s like 10 bolts and it will look so much better IMHO.

 

That deserves a freaking before nice. Freaking nice.

 

whats up dude..is the chin strap the black plastic beneath the push bar??

 

Yes. The spoiler. I used to have a 17 AC SR5 and I pulled mine off and it looked so much better. Toyota says it’s supposed to improve gas mileage, but it’s negligible. I didn’t notice any change to mileage.



Edit: This was after I traded it in for my current iteration.

 

Now that we're officially frozen in and my Tacoma is going to be sitting for a while I put it up on tire savers and put the sonic rodent repellers in the cab and under the hood. The one on the floor is always on, blasting across the concrete under the trucks. I also hooked up the battery tender and put my new wheel lift together.

Going to be pretty dull around here until spring.

 

Spare tire air pressure maintenance aid.

 

My wife bought me a color accent. A little bit of a pain to put on, and I didn't do the greatest job, but I dig it. What looks like bubbles in the orange and red are some artifacts of the light or my phone's camera - they aren't there in person.

 

That's a cool idea. I've been caught once needing my spare, only to find it flat.

 

Stock suspension?
