What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks for the info. You just helped me make up my mind, I couldn't decide between the 4.88's or the 5.29's. I have full armor with 33's. 5.29's it'll be.

 

Mounted the new Tepui and relocated the fuel Rotopax to the roof.
Wife is excited to use the comfy tent next weekend!

 

First mod to ma taco, got the taco not even 2 weeks ago so I was just itching to do something to it. Interior light LED replacements!


Sorry for crappy Camera quality!

 

Was able to get my new bumper cleaned, prepped and a few coats of primer on it. Tough when the whole family is sick.

 

nice! Which lights did you go with?

 

I installed some Rigid 360 series LED lights with the blue backlighting feature

Here’s my original post with a write up on them if you care to see more

Finished up adding a few overhead switches today using the Meso Customs panel. I can’t believe how much time this project has taken, and so far I only have ditch lights and a light bar. Plans to add KC spots on the bumper, some rear floods and some rock lights.






Tapped into the switch backlights with no problems.

 

Did this today.

 

you sir, are an electrical wizard.

 

Installed the Victory 4x4 bumper with a Warn EVO 8s winch. Their video said that you have to relocate the control pack, but I found that if you bend the metal support a little that the pack can be installed on the winch and it will fit (3rd picture down). I didn't do anything to the front suspension and have noticed it sits an inch or so lower in the front with the bumper and winch weight on it. Anyone else just riding that as is or is a suspension beef up in order?

Installed the cold air intake as well. I've noticed absolutely no difference in power or even sound. At least it was a good Black Friday deal.

 

Hey bigbro6785,
I have not seen the parts list yet. I should see it after Christmas. The body shop is working on another 3rd gen. Tacoma. They took the bed completely off of the truck and just re-placed parts of the bed. Obviously, it's not as bad as my truck but that is the way it goes.

As far as what happened, I got rear-ended by a re-cycle truck and dragged 20 feet into the back of my wife's 2018 Chevy Traverse. It's been a little crazy with this whole mess.

 

In the process of sound deadening the rear wall. Is is recommended not to cover the vent? Is it bad if they are covered? I’ve seen both where people cover them or go around.
Appreciate any feedback?

 

Pilot, not a CRV but your point still stands. My wife has a Pilot. It’s definitely not a truck

 

Wow! This man has been places!

 

Added the TRD skid plate and LCA skids today

 

Nice! Who's LCA Skids?

 

I don’t remember. I bought them used off a local member here. I’ll look and see if I can get you an answer.

 

I thought about putting my switches up there. But figured it would be a PITA. Looks like I was right! Looks awesome! Nice job!

 

looks good op. I will be installing a TRD air box too. Got a great deal on it also

 

That looks awesome. I want to do the same thing but meso doesn’t make an overhead panel for the sport model. I’ve been brain storming but coming up blank.
