What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bed rack came today after I left for work. Going to have some fun tomorrow putting that together.

 

nice. did you lose all the factory settings from the oem head unit? thanks

 

No great feat of engineering but I like it

 

Your Truck looks awesome man! did u put a leveling kit in? or just swap out the rubber? the front end looks higher than normal, Im expecting my Black TRD pro next month... Cant wait!!

 

I just dipped the wheels. No leveling just the camera angle I think

 

more solid than the plastic, less solid than with ribs probably. But the convenience of a flat surface is way worth it.

 

Bronze wheels for the win for sure. The white and blue with bronze cant be beat. Good looking rig.

 

Love it with the White as well!

 

Would think it would make it easier. Backing a short trailer is a bitch if you've never tried it. My 20 foot boat is easier than my wave runner to back.

 

@THE_KiRRAx Thanks for the reply, once I discovered it wasent going to work, I just quit working on it. I will start again in the AM, working from the camera back to the head unit. This would be a lot cleaner installation
if the RCA Cable were 10FT instead of the 20+ it apears to be.

 

Toyota makes a $6 OEM cap holder, but I'm not sure if the Tacoma fuel door has enough flat area for the adhesive to attach properly: https://parts.metrotoyota.com/p/HANGER---FUEL-TANK-CAP/63351363/7739928010.html

 

Thank you; good to know.

 

Perhaps you're right. That's sort of why I asked, I can see it both ways.

 

I haven't touched a machine in 3 or 4 years. I miss the Machining days but over here in Norcal was pretty hard for me to get a job so I made a career change to support my kids

 

Installed OEM Tailgate lock and MESO Stage 1 tail lights today.

 

Very cool, and thanks for that. The machinist thing can always be a hobby later on. I'm impressed with the profession because I'm a draftsman. Lol

My wife would buy it just to give me the busines!

 

Shit i think i set yhe record for installing a bed extender.....lets see started at about 530 took 2 hours because had go to the hardware store for the right drill bit, get gas, then interupted by 3 phone calls, then was grilling some chicken while doing it... but its done...

 

I know that feeling wel . I know it doesn't clean up the install much but a good hidden place to stash the excess cable is a large opening behind the center console front cubby (wireless charger area on some models). If you pull the carpet on the left side of the console in the driver footwell you can see a large empty space there, I have all my excess right there. Makes for a nice run because the wire can also go straight up to radio without some strange route.

 

Mounted the kayaks and bikes. Weekend in the mountains
