What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The SR vents are black from the factory for all years I think.

 

Nope, it's an SR I had very little to do as far as deleting chrome. I vinyl wrapped the cup holder trim ring and dipped the 4wd selector ring.

 

Thanks!

 

Yea, always wondered why people buy all these fancy trim packages and then spend more money to unfancy them.

 

I like that track system on that diamondback

It comes clear, I covered the lens with amber Laminx.

 

Received my DFG fridge slide yesterday. Went ahead and test fit with fridge.

 

Thank you for the kind words, Gerry. The mountain decals were made by a gentleman on Etsy. I saw some of his decals for sale and reached to him to see if he can custom build one. He took my idea and ended up with what's on my truck. He was based somewhere in Bulgaria. I'm not sure if he is still on there. He ended up posting my decal on eBay so I could pay for them ($49.99) through PayPal. Every now and then I will search for decals on Etsy and eBay to see if he is around, I have not seen anything from him in over a year. I'm sure you can have someone create something similar.

 

Is that the 75DZ?

 

Yes sir. You guessed right!

 

I agree to some extent, but I like a bit of symmetry and as such, I’m fine with the vent rings being chrome, but the shift collar and the start and 4x4 rings just looked out of place to me (my off road cup holder was not chrome to begin with). The exterior chrome I’m ok with too even though there is an issue with symmetry front to back regarding chrome bits. To each their own though. That’s why these truck are so fun because you can customize them to be exactly what you want.

 

Santa brought me a bed lighting kit!

 

Those wheel well fenders are sick! What brand is that and where can I get some?!

 

They’re multiplying

 

I’m in a ME-SO Customs rocket ship!

 

Well, order took about 2 weeks to ship, which lead to to a few emails. I place purchase through Empyre off-road. I guess they do not pay too much attention to what they sell. I received the following response when i made an inquiry on delay:
"Honestly, I don't know the answer. Unfortunately, I can only go by what our contact at CaliRaised says. The mounts are not pre-manufactured, they have to cut, bend and powder coat them. I will email him again."
I preceded to explain to him that the order was for their taillights and had to be pre-manufactured. I received them 2 days later.

 

chrome colored plastic isn’t fancy to a lot of people including myself. Looks cheap to me

edit: not hating the chrome lovers just my opinion

 

Looks really nice, but for me the combination makes it too high to be able to put in the back of the bed and still close my tonneau. Because of the height issue, I have a 21 liter, it works well for two people for 4-5 days of food, but not big enough for larger groups. Another advantage with this smaller fridge is that is also doesn't use much power so I can run it pretty much indefinitely with a combination of an inverter with swappable battery packs and the inverter in the Tacoma.

 

There’s a thread on here showing people fit this size fridge under certain covers. I’m sure it’s a brand to brand basis. The reason I went with a 75DZ is I have a family of 4. We are usually all camping together and I enjoy cooking some good meals while out camping. So the steaks,shrimp, beers, tequila and Gatorade’s all have to fit! As for power, it shuts off if voltage drops to low on the battery. I’m a electrician by trade so I’m looking for a good solution for power that won’t be to difficult. Solar has been a option. This fridge is the same size as my RTIC 65qt I just replaced

 

Yikes. Very, very sorry.

I also had a "massive" heart attack this year, but survived obviously. 54 yrs old w/ 3 kids. I was supposed to die but never do what I am supposed to. Interesting time to be in the hospital NOT for covid. 4 days. Just got the bill, at Christmas time: $182k. W/ insurance $250 ood, but still puts my taco + mods in perspective.
