What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Off a recommendation here, I got “Fyre Flys” off Amazon. They are much brighter than stock and I’m happy at the price point - but I would suggest NOT upgrading the license plate bulbs... the brightness washes out/degrades the rear camera at night.

$16 Fyre Flys 9 Piece White LED Interior Lights for 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Toyota Tacoma 6000K 5050 Series SMD Package Kit and Install Tool

Nice, Thanks.

 

That is precisely it, especially when it's 90 degrees outside so you want the cab to vent but then you don't have to worry about closing the windows if it starts to rain.

 

A little rear end protection.

 

That is a nice can opener.....I mean radiator adjuster

 

Was wondering if I should paint it florescent orange or yellow.

 

I have always installed rain guards on every vehicle I've had for the following reasons.
1. Fresh air intake while driving in rain 2. Provide glare reduction from the sun 3. Reduce heat inside vehicle during the warmer months of the year 4. Reduce wind noise when window is open

 

Thanks! Hopefully I can move somewhere that actually has weather so I’ll have an excuse to get some

 

Got the smaller ARB air compressor mounted & wired under the hood. Will give it a trial run this weekend when I get off the beach and need to re-air. I did a test run on my 265's and it aired up a tire from 18ish to 35 psi in around 90 seconds.

 

Also to reduce condensation , allows some airflow

 

Man, turned out really reallly good. But, it has some weird color on one section, corner in it, I think it soaked the color for the card board it was laying on. Anyways not bad for some gas monkey work.

 

Joined the 50K mile club earlier this morn.

Here to hopefully another 50K without too much fuss.

 

Bought my first Tacoma 2 weeks ago - 2021 SR DCSB w/ 3.5 and 4x4. Good friend has a Taco and has been telling me all about the mods he made and those available. Needless to say I am now looking for a TA group (Tacoma Anonymous) before I end up divorced!

Here's what I've done so far after "factory" came with 5" black oval tube steps, sill protectors and winter mats:

(1) OEM Bed Mat (2) OEM Bed Lights (3) Tufskinz Mudflaps (4) Tufskinz Foam cupholder, etc. inserts (5) Tufskinz glove box letters (6) "V6" and "4x4" black overlays for tailgate (7) Console organizer (8) ProClip phone mount (9) OEM Trailer hitch cover (10) hitch cover letter overlay (11) OEM black exhaust tip (12) Dog platform using instructions on TW.

Here's what's pending - Tonneua cover from a friend, OEM Tailgate Remote Lock, Door sill overlays and roof rack and sportwing door edge molding.

Hoping to get: fender flares, MESO taillight kit

(2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (9) (11) (12)

 

Love the dog platform and bottle of lube!

 

All right. I'll bite. What the heck is it?

 

You have been busy. Back seat looks great.

Did you already get a parking ticket?

 

kc 5 meso lights.

 

I did dual projector Retrofit.

Lexus RX350 Bi-Xenon Projectors with D2S Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense,
Morimoto Mini HB LED Projectors,
Diode Dynamics SS3 Clear Driving Lamps at Fog locations,
Meso switchback side markers,
Diode Dynamics switch back DRLs,
Custom smoked Acrylic Lens cover.

(Some not so good pictures)

Also did Delete-License-plate-lights-when-in-Reverse to avoid camera glare on stock crappy display. This is so bad ass. Truck is like a terminator now.

 

Thanks! So it's been snowing every other day in the Philly area. I ran to a local hardware store that has everything to find a grab latch to use for the dog platform. They close at 5. I get there at 4:35 and no MASK! Race home, race back and get there at 4:55. Run in and they are rearranging store and took them 15 minutes to find what I was looking for. Come out and $26 ticket for not putting a quarter in the meter!! Would like to blame the mask police, or the snow, or the store for rearranging just when I needed something. Besides, why wouldn't they give the meter maid the day off in the snow/rain we had yesterday.... what a racket!

P.S. You guys are quite observant. Bottle is actually holy water - that didn't help either! But at least the Taco has been officially blessed by a priest-friend!

 

Not yet I will be soon though.
