What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

First time I’ve done it and it makes a world of difference (of course you then must also clean the inside with a good streak free cleaner). Some suggest clay baring it first so you are sure to remove any stuck on debris. Lots of YouTube vids out there on this..also totally removes water spots. Some also apply a glass sealer after polishing but I haven’t tried that. I will be doing all my glass (maybe not the rear) I’m guessing every 6 months…I’ll see how long it holds up!

 

I'm gonna look into this, watch some yt vids. I keep my glass pretty clean bc dirty glass drives me crazy, but polishing will take it to the next level! Thanks!

 

I wish that were a simple fix for me. Mines all pitted from the blowing dust/dirt. I'm going to need to replace the glass eventually.

 

Those look great! And make me want to spend the money on a good welder vs buying a set already made.

 

Very Total Chaos like.

 

You would be amazed how much you can do with just a $150 flux core welder from harbor freight. I've done so many small projects with mine and works great, plus it stores away in a tote bin with all my welding gear so it doesn't take up a lot of garage space.

 

Very true. I had training up in ione for work and everywhere I went up there was extremely different

 

Thanks! Once you have a welder and a little skill, projects like this will pop up all the time, and the scope of what you can accomplish on your truck will expand greatly. (Plasma cutter doesn't hurt either...)

Yep, definitely took some inspiration there!

 

Yes, I highly recommend. I’m a bit OCD about clean windshields and this a game changer. I’m finding water runs off more readily rather than beading and drying.

Taping off gaskets, low speed, and light pressure with 4 passes in differing directions (1/2 the screen at a time) were my biggest takeaways from the vids I watched.

 

Thank you for your business, we appreciate your support.

 

Anyone know when prinsu is having a sale. I’m in need of a roof rack and two sets of sliders. Unless anyone else has better reqs

 

How are those Wheel overlays holding up? Do you have a picture to share? i was just looking into them.

 

I bought an RCI roof rack. Very happy with it so far and they have great sliders too. They have 10% off sliders and roof racks right now.

 

Did you have any rubbing on that size?

 

I did mine early September and they are still perfect. Your patience and skill with vinyl will affect how they look. But patience is most important.

Here are some pics:

Not rubbing. Going on a road trip this weekend so I can test th impact to fuel efficiency.

 

Changed the spark plugs on my Tacoma at 70k. That driver side got me ill as a hornet.

 

Looks great! Where did you find these?

 

I've had the vinyl overlays on my wheels for a couple yrs now with no issues.
I do expect them to potentially tear when the time comes for new tread. I've been happy with them.

 

Drove it to work and parked it. Only drive this truck about once a week to work. Love driving it when I do.
