What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I bought one of these with a lock. The lock will also secure the hitch when installed. Now I just need a truck to put it on.

 

I went through the same thing with mine. I had the shield hitch plate and lock 2 months before my truck arrived.

 

Neato. All my hitches and shackle accessories I have a lock.

 

Yeah. Guilty. I have a stockpile of things sitting on my workbench and the tonneau cover is slated for delivery on Friday. AG Pro is on the train and is scheduled to arrive at the dealership 3-10 Feb.

 

Installed the complete tailgate lock kit from @KTJO 4x4 and couldn’t be happier. No drilling and all plug and play

 

get a hitchvault. i keep my spare key in it.

 

I keep my radiator destroyer in mine at all times. Use a locking pin also.

 

Very little bending required. The trick that no one tells you is to pull the wire harness on the driver’s side and the AC lines on the pax side out of the way from the top before you begin. The driver’s side harness requires removal of a (you guessed it) 10mm bolt.

 

I did mine a couple days ago and absolutely love it. I added a 2 pin waterproof connector at the same location as the backup camera plug in case I need to remove the tailgate, and I wrapped the wire harness in foil tape where I ran it next to the factory wrapped harness near the muffler.

 

Great idea to add the 2 pin connector right at the tailgate! I'll have to go back and do this just in case I need to remove the tailgate for any reason.

 

Got the front windows tinted and removed the chrome emblems. Small, tasteful stuff. 30% front, rear factory metered at 27%. Its a good matched and not a noticable difference.

 

NY made window tint illegal and made it part of the yearly safety inspection......This state..ugh

 

Bummer. Thats the way it was when i lived in IL. 24% is minimum here in WA

 

It's been a struggle for GMC/Chevy/Buick/Pontiac/cadillac/Saturn for a long time

 

I did this mod too. But for some reason the arm was too long. It would lock but it wouldn’t unlock (or maybe it was the other way, I forget) so I had to make one out of a wire hanger and haven’t had any issues since. Not sure why mine didn’t fit, but it’s my favorite addition so far!

 

it comes w two tiny nuts and a bar so it stays on grille nicely!

 

I honestly love the Toyota Tacoma compared to the f150, the Tacoma is so comfortable and this is my baby
