What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a Body Armor Hi-Line bumper with winch and light bar. Was a late night but finally got it wrapped up! I think it looks awesome! Still need to finish wiring the light bar at least running wire and mounting switch in the cab.

 

Curious as to why jack stands would be safer, I have similar set of these from autozone rated at 16,000 lbs.

 

They used to much thicker and light grey, then they switched to that design. I have both, but I always use a floor jack, jack stands and wheel chocks or some combination of them. It's not worth the risk. We've had a couple stories recently on the local news here in AZ about this. Guy was crushed to death. His poor family. Made me think of myself and my family.

 

I like to use a forklift if possible!

 

If I had the garage ceiling height I would invest in a hydraulic lift.

 

Maybe invest in a taller gear age first? I might! Lol

 

Not a bad deal!

 

I finally ordered the OEM remote tailgate lock yesterday. Got a call from the dealership this morning telling me that the kit had arrived - got it installed this afternoon.

 

Kansei KNP OffRoad. 17x8.5 0 offset.

Here's a shot that's not so dark.

 

Same exact ones shipped out yesterday. Should be here today or Friday. Something to work in next week.

 

So some Rough Country seat covers are on the way. Got shipping notification yesterday. Got some hooks for the bed rails in yesterday. Easy peasy.




And a final question: does anyone know if Toyota or another manufacturer sells or makes bed rail caps WITHOUT the gaps in them like you see in last 2 pics?

My truck had an OEM cover at one point before I bought it. But since I have an aftermarket one, I took all the mounting hardware off.

And hope everyone had a safe rest of week. Going off the grid for a few visiting a friend up close to Boston this week. Safe travels everyone!

 

.maybe not like TN. But ask anyone in the MS Delta, where I live now is "the hills."

 

My truck came without the factory cover and I have full bed caps. It appears that for a DCSB, they are part numbers 66248-04050 (RH side) and 66249-04050 (LH side) (https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...6727671/REAR-BODY-SIDE-PANEL/674470-6554.html). Don't take my word for it but that appears to be the correct numbers from Toyota. Enjoy the time off-grid!

 

Rides just like stock. No vibrations so far.

 

Finally got the lighting project done. I had to use 2 sets of 8x rgbw rock lights from mictuning and like 4-5 10ft extensions. One set for the bed/rack and one set for under the truck. All wiring run through 2" conduit with the wiring going to the bed cubbies.

Matches my @MESO dome light too which looks sick

 

Broverlanding under-glow.

Looks set up well!

 

I got clipped, just noticed the other day while I was chopping wood. New lights in route.

 

We camp in a lot of forest areas. I was tired of tripping on roots at night!
They also look cool haha. Thanks!
