What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cool. Thanks for the information.


I've been using Chemical Guys V07 Tire & Trim with great success on tires & plastic trim.

It's a bit pricey but it doesn't bleed over and leave streaks on the paint. I learned the hard way that other products may drip down or sling off all over the freshly washed paint.

All the V07 lineup has played well together for me. Like a group of puppies who grew up together....soap & tire/trim are excellent.

 

New guy here.... my first mod was purchasing a homlink mirror from Bob’s Mirrors (mentioned so many times in this thread) and put it in the truck. Absolutely 100% the best!

 

I'm unaware of what this is.......kinda scared to look, too.....this thread keeps making reach for my wallet...



Welcome to TW !!!! Great spot to hang out, learn and admire other people's trucks.

 

Finally doing at the moment.
CMC for a case of beer.

 

WELCOME and I see you opted for the BEST color Taco!

Yes, I'm a touch bias.

Oh, and since you have a new Tacoma and you are on the forum - kiss your money goodbye.

 

Thanks! I know what your saying... and I’m only up to page 45 of this thread with a hand scribbled wish list almost as long!

 

and it will get much longer. make sure you decide on whats really important or no matter what you make for money at work, will be gone LOL

 

Yes! The color ‘spoke’ to me when I drove onto the lot. Me being stubborn, I ignored it and tried to get a NEW blue 2017 from a lot in Oregon shipped up instead. It was sold the same day just before the request. After sleeping on it I went back the next day and let this truck have its way with me!
Edit: oh, this one is used 2017 with 11000 miles.

 

Got out ole reliable, ground skid clearance and installed the correct 3/4" 9500 lb d-ring in the front BPF recovery today.

 

I just mounted my 285/75/16 spare back in its place. It fits with slight modifications. Check out my post if interested.

 

Wait til he see's the Infernal Internal decal posts a day or two ago.....oh Lawd.

He may get bit with the lava-look bug for the cab.

 

That's what she said

 

I remember my day on the lot last October.

Had driven a 4x4 Frontier double cab for the last 11 years. It did everything I needed...and more.

I took a few days off work and drove full sized Nissans, Fords, Chevrolets and RAM's before finally working my way to the Toyota lot.

It was all over once I test drove a new Tacoma. Roomier than my last truck and I like everything about them then.....and still do to this day.











Separated this one from her litter mates and brought her home.

















My ankle biters loved riding in her on their way to get haircuts and a vet checkup the next day.







One day in the near future I hope there will be a Labrador Retriever coming home in her.






Now.....for today's "What have you done with your 3rd Gen?"........I'm going to clean her up to a level that rivals how she looked coming home from the Toyota dealer that fateful first day.

 

My Dad has owned 3 Frontiers and they have been excellent vehicles. When I bought my 16 Taco, after having 3 previous Tacos, I was disappointed that the Colorado was the only real competition. Nissan needs to up their game if they want to sell more Frontiers. Great trucks but very outdated. Am anxious to see and drive the new Ranger though I have no intention of buying one. I just hope Ford brings it up to the Taco level.

 

Did you paint the hook?

 

No I bought a pair of blue ones from Amazon on sale for $17 US and they match perfectly (as close as I could do with paint)

 

Oh no..... already bit!!!

 

Sure, here is a few more . It's just a cheap one off of Ebay but it works well and fits fine.

 

Installed 1.25” Spidertrax. I had to trim some plastic to fix a rub on my passengers side.

 

Heck yes !!!! Looks great.


I'm digging the Stormtrooper look of your Tacoma.

What % tint are you using on the windshield ?

I want to get mine done on a day off soon.



Also.......thank you for your service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
