What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Loaded the bed with Mulch and gravel.

10 bags of mulch wasn't too bad.


1000lbs of gravel. Calculated weight was just under payload. Handled it like a champ.

 

Got the tonneau cover on. I have had trucks for over 20 years and this is the first time I ever put a tonneau cover on. I'll see how this one goes. It was inexpensive.

 

As far as I’m concerned, it stays like it is right now no need to overcomplicate.

 

I agree, swapping out that 3rd light wasn't hard but definitely a P.I.T.A. maybe the most frustrating process of any mod I've done.

 

Mounted my new Maxtrax. Couldn’t justify $100 (at least) just for the brackets so I made some out of some scrap aluminum I had. $30 Amazon mounting pins and some hardware later I’m very happy with it.

This could also be called a really expensive wind fairing….

 

Doesn't look bad at all. I like the low profile. Link?

 

It was $20 off when, I ordered a few days ago. Don't know if it still is.

Shipped out my fogs to Baja Designs for the upgrade— fogless for 6-8 weeks haha

 

Today was tire rotation and oil change - LOVE the VavloMax and MotivX drain tool, make the entire process so much easier and cleaner

 

Might steal this idea

Yeah I definitely destroyed a bunch of body clips, but the plastic panels don't move so I guess out of sight, out of mind lol. Not sure what the secret to removing these panels is, but I need to find out haha

 

nah. it's an aussie thing. they've been out-'murica-ing us for quite some time.

it's a real sanctioned event with sponsors, and more money into the motors than most of us have put into our entire tacoma's...

Is that a factory front camera? Where did you get your grille from?

 

Where did you buy the topo decal?

 

This color starting to grow on me. I even liked it on the big Tundra! Nice work!!

 

Good look

I have some Amazon trax so I'll need to see if these actually fit them, but I want to mount them on my roof rack in the same fashion as yours. You made it look easy and clean

 

Factory and grill are both OEM.

 

Why did you switch from AJT door handle covers to Meso?
I tried the AJT, but they rubbed on the bottom. So I pulled them and still staring at the chrome.

 

I didn't like that the AJT were shiny
