What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You sir are one brave individual!

 

Two 10" shallow Rockford fosgate primes, 500watt amp and lc2i line out converter. They hit pretty hard.

 

Looks great! Were they very difficult to install? I got a set waiting for me up in Colorado when I travel up there in a few weeks

 

It wasn't too bad, I had a couple of friends help me. The only part that was hard was the 2 bolts in the very front.

 

Smucked it's first deer. Hell of it is the damn deer got up and ran away.... pretty sure he said I hit like a girl too
Busted grill/shroud, busted bumper, headlight brackets are busted, drivers fender is bent out and pushed back into the door. Dodged about 4 dozen suicidal deer since April. A heavy duty bumper will be installed during repairs.

 

That's what I'm most worried about with my taco and all the plastic up front. Hit 3 with my silverado over the years, not a scratch to show for it. Guess if I do it will b a good reason for some armor!

 

You need to hit up @Clazzio, I think have a good discount for the black black orange stitching.

 

what is it?

I had these on my 2nd gen wasn't sure if they'd work on this bad boy....

 

Something different. Had some yellow vinyl around.

 

@MasterMason Kit was easy to install just follow the instruction from Low Ranges website if you haven't done one before. Lost a lot of MPG and not really impressed with the performance as I drive a lot in the sierras, either going to 265/70R17 or going to spend $2200 to regear.

 

Excited to have a flowmaster 40 put on with duals out to black tips on my black taco!

 

Easier to ask for forgiveness.

 

Wheel-well liner removal to install OEM D-Rings in suggested position on front/sides of Gen3 Bed.
Instructions that come with the Toyota D-Ring Set show the Gen2 instal 70mm up from floor and 72mm back from the front of bed. There is a need to peel the wheel well liner up to instal the backing plate/nut. Instructions show 4 screws, but in Gen3 there seems to be no lower screw, and it feels like there is something additional holding it in. Any suggestions on how to free it up without doing any damage?

 

How was the wiring? I've heard the wiring instructions are for a Tundra and that made it difficult. Also, how did you apply the sound deadening, just to the inside of the tailgate on the walls around where the pop&lock sits?

 

The wiring was close. I tapped in on the passenger side following a YouTube video. This ended up being backwards but all I had to do was unplug and reverse the end at the tailgate and I was good to go. For the sound deadening I just threw in some strips of butyl material so that tailgate wouldn't r donate. I didn't want to go too crazy and make the tailgate heavy.

 

Drove home at 2am at exactly the speed limit (straight road, few lights, 45mph and 50mph) and got 34.7mpg indicated for the 13 mile journey.
