What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That is freaking cool. Nice work

 

We'll see (both literally and figuratively) . At only $14-15, probably a cheap mod compared to others.

 

Link to the light kit and the print file? My DB HD arrived today. Lights will be next.

 

I think that’s gonna kill your backup cam view at night (flashlight to the eyes!)... but interested to see the result

 

Mounted my hi-lift jack to my Diamondback cover today. I used Mike's (the "Last Line of Defense" guy) method, installing longer bolts through the tie down cleats. I used 3 M8 x 80mm bolts, and it feels REALLY strong. I also used large knobs to secure it in place, where his version used wingnuts. I was worried about how far the setup would stick out from the truck, but it doesn't even stick out further than the fender flare or the wheel/tire. I also have some home made brackets that allow me to mount a shovel to the hi-lift. Side note - I only intend to keep this on the rig during off-road trips. It will be removed and stored in the garage while in daily driver mode.

 

Ah, but I have the Delete in Reverse (DIR) mod that @Puppypunter & @daveeasa peddle on here. Turns tag lights off in reverse. Quick and easy install.

 

Didn't do anything to my truck since I'm out of town, but ordered a Tcase skid and a full size spare tire.1 month from today and I'll be in Moab

 

From the drenched land to the dry land; should be a good trip.

 

They that nice?

 

Seriously though! Grew up wheeling in the pnw, never been to the Mars land!

 

New grille

 

My boss and her husband just picked up an R32 GTR. They had an R32 for years prior, sold it a few months ago to get the GTR. Not sure their plans, but their old one was putting out 800HP at the rear wheels. They are such cool cars.

 

That is pretty damn brilliant. First time I've seen such a thing.

 

Wow. That is clean. Super clean. I like that a lot.

 

Awesome, there's a market on here for the panel you made!

 

It does look good but I'm sure if Tacoma's came from factory without the black vinyl between the windows someone most likely would have come up with the idea to sell a "black out" kit...same goes for the nice chrome handles inside...someone would sell the chrome option . All I'm saying is that we are funny that way!

 

Lifted OME 887 springs and OME shocks and 1inch rear block. cmc and ecgs was done. Hopefully get some larger tires soon.

 

yea i heard people complaining about LED on the license plate bulbs were too bright. I just used these old PIAA LED bulbs i had for about 10 years and seem to be perfect. I wasnt going for brighter i was looking for it to match the OEM bedlights and they do.

I have had this system installed for 2 years now. It has greatly improved my towing and carrying capacity as well as lifting the rear nearly 6" at the ball hitch. The truck is more stable as well when towing my camper loaded for a week of R and R.

 

You are right. The oem tires are 3/16" thinner tread than the duratrac and 1/8" thinner than most other SL A/T tires. I'm sure they use these because they get a great discount on bulk orders for a relatively inexpensive AT tire, but they also weigh a lot less(32 lbs) compared to a Duratrac SL(44 lbs) or LT(53 lbs), so they will produce better fuel efficiency results.
