What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Heat a cup of water in a microwave or on the stove until it's (boiling) steaming, pour in a vehicle mug and place mug in cup holder, add a couple of drops (only a couple drops) of pure peppermint oil. Keep vehicle closed for a couple minutes. Pizza smell will be overpowered by the peppermint oil and no mice will try and find those pizzas.
Mice hate peppermint!

 

Good idea!

 

very well done.

I’ve been thinking about adding this sub. Let us know how it sounds. I’m also tossed between the location you used and under one of the front seats. I currently have my tool box behind that seat and don’t want to loose the storage. Did you happen to check for fit under a seat, or were you always set on that location?

 

Finished putting the radio bezel back into the truck after installing the DMM from The Taco Garage. Very happy with the results, and it looks great! Now I just gotta wait for my RAM hardware to arrive tomorrow so I can get my phone mounted on up there. I might remove the ball mount and paint the base black (or go the heat shrink route, but I'm anal).

Still hunting for my rivet gun to install the Redline struts, my garage is a mess, I know what I'll be doing today.

Headlights are on hold, kinda got screwed on that one, there is some paint overspray on the lenses as well as the broken tabs so got a bit of work to do to see if they're usable without looking like shit. I'm thinking a BHLM, with halo/angle-eyes over the projectors, no major retrofits for now...just a simple change in looks. I think the halo would look nice with the amber drl (no LED DRLs here, and that's fine by me).

 

Thanks man! It’s the 2.25” from ReadyLift and a 1” block in the back.

 

Helpful hint: drape a fender protector or a doubled up bath towel over your fender before installing the rivets. Those steel rivets are tough and once that stem breaks off that rivet gun is hard to control, you'll see what I mean after the first rivet.
Also a prick or centerpunch followed by a center drill if you have one is a good way to keep the drill from walking.
Blue painters tape and a pen for laying out the holes not a bad idea either.
Measure, measure, measure.
I'm sure you know all this already just suggestions to get a satisfactory result.
You're going to love those struts they were one of my favorite mods.
Good luck and enjoy!

 

Mine smells the same way when I pick a pizza up at Domino's and set it on the passenger floor. Especially when I forget to turn the air recirculate off. LOL!

 

Thank you. I was going to put it under the driver's seat but it was just way too tight and would require trimming so I just decided to put it behind the seat in the rear storage. Overall the sound is great for my ears. It's definitely not going to shake the car but it has a nice clean bass sound that rounds everything out. Highly recommend for the price -

 

Some good tips most of us learn the hard way. As to the rivets being a PITA, a good tool helps a lot. I spend a little extra for this tool, and it made the riveting pretty easy and it captures the rivet end so it doesn't fly in your eye.

Also I tried painting the holes after drilling to avoid future rust, but I'm pretty sure that paint gets scrapped off by the extreme force of the rivet being seated. I went to putting a generous amount of gun grease in and around the hole and I hope that does the job. I guess I'll see in 4-5 years.

 

I would have to disagree. To each his own.

 

I don't see where having an opinion on a particular state is included in paragraph 1, but whatever.

 

And there are many threads here that are completely unhinged with no banning, relax, he wasn't pissing on anyone, quit trying to be, well, Captain America.

 

The state i'm in has been very good to me financially, but 5-6 months of garbage weather is a huge nope.

 

Exactly, to each his own. I was born there, I have family there, but I have my reasons for never wanting to be there.

 

I did nothing to the Tacoma today i'm now at 1390 miles. Someone will get a super low mile example if I ever punt it

 

But, this configuration keeps tailgaters from tailgating on their way to a tailgate......

 

Stared at my paint Protection Film bubbles. I like trying to stare them down into submission.

 

Same, sloppy AF, but got it done......

 

My contribution for today. Not original but sorta, a little rare on here...Hurst/Core short shifter kit.
I love it but the installation was not fun. I think I'll be enjoying this for many years. (Ignore the bug, he's a mascot) .
