What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you install the kit yet?

 

I hear ya. I’ll probably end up doing it. Mods list is pretty much done for me so I need to find something to buy for the truck.

 

Did you change the lower grill bar from a Caliraised or are you talking about the ditch lights or fogs?

I am sold on the quality of the DD fogs, and I would imagine that if their lower grill bar is similar in build quality then it also should smoke the competition.

 

Not yet. Gotta make a run to the hardware store for a longer bolt and waiting on the hose which will arrive Monday. I probably should have spent more money on one made specifically for the Taco. Mounting this one has turned out to a real b*tch.

 

No. The bumper lightbar is a rough country that came with it. It's a two way amber /white. I'm going to get rid of it. Just need to take it out. As for the behind the grill lightbar ,yes that is a caliraised 32 lightbar which I am also going to take out.

 

Curious why you are removing the light bars?

 

Because I haven't found a good solution for my three way switch to mount want without hacking my shit up. Also the two lightbars interfere with my dual band radio on both bands uhf and vhf. Plus it's a clutter under my hood

 

Have any of y’all plasti dipped your chrome ring around the grill?

I’m guessing just put down paper and tape off the grill and rest of the front end, clean with alcohol, and apply light even coats?

 

You might consider, at 6:15 here, Last Line of Defense has his switches mounted (3m tape) next to the shifter for quick access. Edit: just noticed you're removing the light bars...

 

Those are some good reasons. At least it was not due to product quality issues. Thanks for the response

 

Took off the chin spoiler.

 

...and put on the Bro Grille. I know everyone has one, but IMO it is the best looking Tacoma Grille available. Sorry not sorry.

 

Drove it more than 10 miles in one go for the first time in a while. With work from home and all my summer plans getting canceled due to covid it was nice just to drive it some more than normal.

 

I agree its the best looking, as long as you like it who cares what anyone else thinks...I put the pro grille on too, and also had the sport grille painted, I may put that back on at some point, seen some examples of them on the truck, they look better black than gray.

 

Don't get me wrong, the stock grille is fine, but I am not a fan of the chrome Toyota emblem and I love the nostalgia of T O Y O T A being spelled out on the pro grille.

 

I did. I just took the whole thing off. Be careful with the tabs holding it on and you won’t have any issues.

 

Painted the OEM skid plate red. Also replaced all the bolts while it was off considering I broke one while removing it.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Seen a lot of black out door latches. Anyone do reflective door latches?
