What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Technically yesterday but oh well. @ajmogen and I installed the Kicker audio upgrade and applied sound deadening (and a fair amount of skin and blood) to all my doors. Definitely worth the time and effort, even for just the sound deadening material.

On the downside, I found my passenger front shock is leaking...again. So now the question is whether to fix it or accelerate my plans and order the +2 long travel kit I have been planning. Thoughts from the masses?

This is the only picture I have from the day.

 

Thanks. Are you sure you don't want to put the retaining nut on the back?

 

Go for the Upgrayedd

 

I finished this morning the red paint is still a little tacky but I'm waswas trying to get this done between rain bands.

 

I did 6 coats . The more coats the better! I used a wooden toothpick to peel off the tight little areas. For my 07 i did 9 coats on the wheels and it was still in great shape when i traded it in shit its been 3 years ago. I have dipped my badges on my 16 about a month after purchase they still look great!

 

It wasnt necessary in my opinion, the blue seas housing was the perfect size to be a very snug fit, it doesn't move at all and its tight enough that I would have to use pliers to remove it. Plenty sturdy to hold a USB cable haha

 

Thanks man

 

Loaded it up with kayaks for some fun!!!

 

Added the pro skid plate!

 

Purchased an OEM tonneau cover for a great price from a good Tacomaworld member

 

Mounted the CB Radio I've been putting off for the last year.. now to find a place for the antenna. Edit looked at few brackets and tried to copy, this is what I've come up with. Painting wityh some flat black paint

 

Looks great! Gotta love TW!

 

Getting ready to go down to Old Coast Road to Big Sur via Los Padres National Forest. Did a pre-flight inspection and am happy to report all u-bolt nuts are tight and no sign of leakage from the rear differential. I’ve only got a little over 4,100 miles and she goes in for her first service in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if the ECU flash for the transmission is covered by the warranty?

 

I thought the ECU flash was a free thing?

 

finished them all now my ocd is kickin in havin to redo them all one at a time black lugs should be here wed

 

That would be awesome! I’ll let you all know after my service. Thanks.

 

For little to no off-roading but with the sliders look check out these,

damn and to think i just spent $1200 on a set of trail worthy ones.

 

Looking good!

 

The Tygers aren't trail worthy, well maybe light trails.
Yeah I spent around the same for my slides - but then again you can pick the truck up buy them with no issue.
