What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mobtown off-road makes one as well. I ordered one. Just playing the waiting game now.

 

installed @mattgecko underside hood lights. Fairly straight forward install and SUPER bright:



Also got a ceramic front windshield laminate film and dark stripe. So we'll see if this laminate film will help reduce the heat (and glare) in the coming weeks in the Mississippi summer:



The ceramic laminate has a slight tint to it, but you can barely tell.

 

We are on 16 years, 3 kids, joint account the entire time. We never had any financial fights until about 2 years ago when we decided to pay off all of our debt. That required a budget and some difficult talks about money, future, and wants vs needs. Rocky at first. It has worked out amazingly. You really don't now how much money you make until you get to keep it. And we also have a set amount, where anything over requires a discussion.

 

I like flat also!

..and so it begins.
baby steps.

AVS deflectors, much improvement.
I like windows down..
Bed cover..nothing special and I dont plan on using it for valuable items. Gator Tri-fold over the soft roll up style.

Sadly, I bought Yakima Baselines/Clips and attempted to use my old round bars. I haul a Native U12.

$300, was cheapest way, and Yakima is great stuff that I've had no issues with, ever.

Yea, budgeting matters in this house.

Have to say fitment a bit tricky and took a while. Only attempted front bar, got tired of trying to justify the gaps I just couldn't seem to get rid of, unless it was tightened down, which I wasn't going to push it.

I also found a few comments after the fact regarding potential paint damage. I can see how that's possible, especially on a long trip. I get there are ways of protecting your ride.. but it just didn't sit well with me.

Build quality is Yakima, good stuff, but for the chunk of change I just committed to, the last thing I want out of the gate is paint damage or worse.

Really bummed..but things work a certain way for me, for a reason..I just don't see it at the time.
Time and time again.
Count your blessings.

Decided on a Rola #59799, ordering today.
Almost bought the one for sale on TW, but it's a local only and the math doesn't work.

Stay safe, and have a great day.

 

For me they were all peas from the same pod.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll check those out.

 

We moved to North Carolina a little over a year ago and I FINALLY found a place that could refill my PowerTank. Big time thanks to Chris at New Bern Fire Extinguisher for not only filling it but putting the flow regulator back on the correct way after the guys I used to deal with in NJ seem to do it right after they pressure tested it. He also straightened out the handle for me. Now its just a matter of finding the right place to mount it.

 

They're color coded by rating so that wouldn't be such a good idea.

 

Workin

 

Well damn, I wondered where my lawn went!

 

I've seen plenty of Harbor Freight tools being used by members in pics, so just a quick mention... HF is recalling some of their jack stands due to safety concerns. Check this link if you've got a set: The irony here is that some of the recall replacements were recalled.

 

Completed this extremely useful mod detailed by @samjpatt here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tool-less-32oz-cupholder-mod.672736/

No more big bottles rolling around the floorboards or passengers getting their ankles bashed. 36oz yeti rambler fits comfortably.

 

On the inside right? And where did you get it?

 

I know right? Now get out of the woods and come help me lay this. LOL

^^Yup that's the Etsy store. Mounted on the outside...ruined one sticker because I just couldn't get my fat fingers down into the corner of the inside of the windshield.

 

Bold on or weld?
