What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So cool,, thanks so much. I just ordered a set.
I got to use my bags for the first time today. I put 950+ pounds in the bed today with some stack stone. (Modding our fireplace,lol). They work great. What is weird is how much heavier our tacos are on the driver side. It takes almost twice the psi on drivers side to get level. Is that all gas tank? I'm interested to see when I get down to empty will that change significantly.
Thanks again for the heads up.

 

Where is this trail?? I’m in Seattle as well

 

I personally have always added equal PSI to the bags so the truck handles even, but I could see raising it up a few PSI to make it level. Taco's are notorious for the Taco Lean because the driver, battery and the gas tank are all located on the driver's side. Headstrong Offroad makes a strut spacer to fix the lean over here.

Next time you put your truck to work, post up over here! GL!

 

For sure.

 

What is that black box on your roof? I have a 16 too and I did the meso 3rd tail light mod a really long time ago, I don't recall seeing a box like that on mine.

 

I am wondering the same thing.

 

I was curious as well. I told myself to get a picture of the numbers but in a rush to put everything together I forgot all about it. I’ll try to look it up on Alldata today and see If I can find any diagrams and get back to you guys.

 

Since I never checked in here yesterday.....I did give it a hand wash and vacuum, crazy, but welcomed winter here so far, as I was able to wear a T-shirt while cleaning it - I'll take sunny and 48 degrees in the last week of January.....especially on my day off! As someone else recently posted here after washing their Tacoma, you can thank me later for the snow and rain later this week! Bill in MA

 

Thanks for the info. I’ve used these many years ago on a Chevy 1500 to help with pulling a big 5th wheel camper. Never thought about do it to the Tacoma.

 

I will be doing the same trip, except it is my own kid soon. Oddly enough that looks like Louisville Cardinal sticker in the window... am I right?

 

A guy I work with has a side business and he does screen printing and die cut vinyl stickers. He made these for me, they are made from a white reflective vinyl.

 

Started install on a @SOS CONCEPTS HC rear after tapping the bedside on a rock


Test fitting the bike with swingout closed:

Still have some more work to do

Next step will be figuring out a bed extension. Plan is to make something that bolts under the rear two bed bolts to close to the gap between swingout and bed, then run it without the tailgate full time.

 

Hi Terry, we have several vendors here at TW that I'm sure can help you out.
@CBoy808 is who I go to when looking for vinyl. Here's an example of his flag vinyl.
He also has a thread here.
"Custom Stickers From Hawaii"
Give him a shout I'm sure he can take care of you.

 

99% sure it's for the TPMS system

 

You'll really hear the difference when you punch it hard. I don't do that often but sometimes will when the feeling strikes and I'm somewhere where that this doesn't cause flashing lights in my rear view mirror. Usually draws a head turn from those I pass, especially if they're in a convertible.

 

Added Icon RTX leaf springs in the option 1 configuration and Bilstein 6112's to the front (5th notch) & 5160's to the rear. Went up about 1.5" all the way around. Firm but not stiff; very comparable to stock ride quality.

 

510 in the garage?

 

Yep. 1972 four door. Not stock at all.

 

I had a 71 2 door. Not stock at all. I was NUTS to let it go.

Nice truck.

 

Did my first oil change on a 3rd gen since I ran out of services because I drive so much. I appreciate how accessible everything was but the dealer cranked on the torque for the filter housing the last time it was in so when I diverted every cell in my body to arm strength, I got it loose and punched something hard in the process. Literal blood, sweat, and tears.
