What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Based on other experiences I've seen around here, I would personally stay away from that business until they get their act together (KTJO).

 

The short answer is bleach bath to strip and adhesion promoter along with primer coat then after trying a black gloss top coat and a flat black automotive top coat I settled on matte black Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Primer as the top coat because it had the right look. There's more to it and I could elaborate more later if you're interested. #likethebutter

 

Today's DIY project. ate em all up with hot sauce and guac.

 

I am the same with BMX...lived on a bike as a kid in the 70's/80's, and then my step son got into it about 10 years ago and it rejuvinated the spark...now I am 52 and falling off the bike, jumping, trying to learn 180's...what a great mid life crisis!!!

I installed several lengths of L track in the bed two years ago. I used L track threaded studs from uscargocontrol.com to hold down the plywood that the Packout mounting plates are bolted to.

Anyone know where to buy a switch that will clip right into this location for a light bar? Measures 24mm x 33.5mm with caliper on bezel. I was in the middle of drilling hole to mount round switch and set it down. Now the people left and I can’t find it! I hate getting bothered in the middle of a critical mission lol


any links would be super helpful!

Wanted to see how the far the stock suspension flexes - bonus points for having a bro moment:

 

Epic!

 

I think they might rub????

 

they make oem sized aftermarket switches so you dont need that round switch
Example:

$24 CH4X4 Push Switch for Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen - Bumper Light Bar Symbol - Blue LED

Yes I saw those but sizes don’t seem to jive with my measurements and reviews said doesn’t fit oem hole so idk what to do.

Edit: has anyone used these and they fit?

 

Thank you, luckily I can get the lumber mostly free. It’s the getting my wife to buy in that’s the hard part.

 

i have them, you need to know what size hole. Short and fat or tall and skinny. go all the tacoma aftermarket websites and look. Ask them what size you need to order

 

34’s? 35?
