What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I am about to install a garmin mini, but I was concerned about how it would stick to the area with black dots. But now I read it is called frit, a baked on enamel or ceramic that helps bond the windshield glass to metal. So the mount should stick better? Does the bond seem secure?

 

I was hesitant to put it on those as well, but still wanted it hidden behind the rearview. It seems secure enough for now but I guess time will tell! Fortunately the camera came with a couple of extra adhesive pads so I'm not too worried about it.

 

I went over some of the details here. You basically need to reverse engineer the stitching as best you can. Make note of where they started and stoped their stitch, pay careful attention to how they weaved their pattern, how they used adhesive to tuck the ends, etc.

Finished shot:



Fits my interior MUCH better. I couldn't stand the red any longer.

 

Got my strobe module partly wired and mounted, just need to run wires to the headlights, tails and mirrors. I tested it out on some LED trailer lights I had laying around, things pretty cool. Does alternating flash, steady burn, and 21 different patterns for the flash. I need to order some more OEM style switches though for it to control the functions.

 

Can you post a pic of it fully open please kind sir

 

Wow...quick question....whats my girlfriend doing at your house?!?!

(She drives a black EOS LMAOOO)

 

This would fit over the add a fuse you have: https://mesocustoms.com/collections/interior-accessories/products/extended-fuse-cover

 

I've thought about it. It's a lot of work for a gimmick tbh.

 

I'll have to wait until first light...

 

Today I had the electric tailgate lock installed and the bed extender. That about wraps up the updates for now.

 

255/85/r16s on stock wheels are fantastic just terrible in ice

I just put on the Supreme Suspensions Pro Billet 1.5” spacers on all 4 corners

Desperately trying to find a reputable site that has the eibach pro lift in stock, as the spacers are now causing the tires to rub, but all the well known sites are back ordered

Stock wheels now have covers on them for aesthetics, I see no need for new wheels unless I’m going to a true headlock and I really don’t need beadlock

added ditch lights with brackets

I wired a compressor to the stock bedside compartment and have the switch and connection on the side of the bed to make it easier to use and air up and down. Not too difficult and this compressor fit inside perfectly and has a little extra room still. Going to finish caulking and sealing the connections and paint to match the bed

 

With stock tires? Is it something that a heat gun will work out?

 

See previous posts. I put on 17x8.5 rims and toyo a/t iii 265/70/17 tires on. I need to dig around the threads on trimming/cutting and see what my options are. Heat gun might give me enough wiggle room.

 

Thank you!! I was wondering what to do about that..

 

Thanks I will find out tomorrow what 16x8 with 265/70/16 tires do. I’m hoping the 1/2” on my 16’s will be the difference. It seems that every Tacoma is different. I just don’t understand why.

 

This is the 26th coolest thing I have ever seen!

Well done.

 

My Bubba Rope still smells, one year out.

 

Custom boots, because why not?

 

I was wondering if you were on here after seeing your post on reddit

 

This was something someone suggested here on TW for the garmin mini. I've got a new camera ordered myself, but haven't ordered this yet.
