What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is the stuff I got because it was at the local fleet farm.

Keep in mind though that its too wide to fit in the grooves on the tacoma bed. I had to use a 45 degree router bit and shave down the edges.

Im going to pick up 2 more 4 foot sections to put more in the middle along with a bunch of the 12 inch sections to put in front and behind the wheel wells and some on the tailgate too.

You can also order it online here and I think it fits without having to machine the edges down

They don't need replacing, but for aesthetic purposes, you can see from the picture below that removing these extensions will clean up the look a bit.

 

Awesome, thanks!

Obviously getting the slightly wrong product and machining it myself is way more appealing, perfect.

 

Added waterproof double gasket to soft topper. Pulled kids around on makeshift haunted hayride

 

Added a kill switch to the tailgate pop-a-lock, making the diamondback even more secure.

Also shittily used touch-up paint on a few chips and where the old canopy rubbed.

 

You can see that on my truck too now.

 

oh no

 

I used a $32 wood bit on my router and it worked like a charm buzzing the aluminum down... creates tons of shavings though, so have a shop vac ready.

 

Dude, you are seriously overthinking this...

 

That's a great idea.

 

I’m painting them today. They’re welded so it’s going to be a pain but that’s the recommended order of operations.

 

SHIt, I AM NOT the only one, Well, I am ordering a switch pros 9100 next week, hopefully that will help a little bit since my engine bay is a clutter, I might relocate my antenna to my roof rack coming in a few weeks, or do a perm NMO mount in the roof, time will tell.

 

They do! BAMF has some really cool stuff. Not my truck, pic from their website

That doesn’t have a swing out tire carrier.

 

Installed the Black Oem LED fog lights

 

Installed the winch this weekend as well as some printed covers for the access holes to keep junk out.

 

Front bumper looks really good! Like the stripes on the grill also.

 

NINE....lol
