Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Oh, ok, I've read about that one. I've seen complaints that it was a pain in the butt to attach and align, what was your experience with the install?

 

I'm going to have to get a different adhesive to reattach the mesh to the bezel. The top didn't adhere. I'm not very patient and that was part of the problem.... As for lining up the emblem, I found the center, laid the emblem on the mesh, and marked the 3 locations of the "dowels" in the back of the emblem onto the grill. Then I broke out the dremel and cut exactly where they would go. I got a grinding wheel and started small where the round part of the dowels would go. When I was done, the emblem fit so snug that it doesn't even need adhesive. I just got it painted today so now I'm going to get some adhesive on that...... Patience would be my best advice. My explanation probably sucks not having the grill there to look at. I have to find this myself but an adhesive that is somewhat thick, but also thin enough to permeate the grill holes and then I would clamp it or put weight on it and wait until it's cured before install

 

You definitely got a sweet deel. Around here the same truck in a prerunner runs about 35k add 4x4 and your at 35k and up.

 

I dig this truck its pretty impressive

 

Correction 37k and up.

 

I have to get my truck serviced in couple days. Last time I checked they had 2 black TRD SPORT DC Tacomas there I will try to get some pics with my phone.

 

It definitely looks better without the mud flaps.

 

Yeah, I just can't decide whether to put them on or not, I like it like this.

 

And award for best-dressed 2016 Tacoma goes to this.

 

It's just so simple and elegant haha.

 

awesome! how are you guys saving them to get full screen? it looks like
it will only accept jpg images as the format.

 

The one I used, I just grappled off google images Yep a JPG looks like it is 1920x1080.

 

Do you know the pixel dimension for the screen? Or even like a ratio? I have an image I want to use, but not sure if I need to crop it first.

 

Truck looks pretty dam good in black. Does it feel like 278 hp or was it 287? How does it stack up to the 4.0?

 

No that I don't know, sorry.

 

Never drove a 4.0, But I love this truck. Better than anything I have drove in a long time. The 6 speed is a blast. Brought home a 5000lb load of hay the other day, this truck will do all I need.

 

278.... much faster - coming from my 2011 sport 4x4, pretty much same model.

 

That's the thing man people think these trucks are overpriced only because they completely underestimate their capabilities.

 

I think my 2014 was 800x480, so I'm gonna try that. Gives me something to do tonight lol. Got my image picked out already.

 

I am in talks with a member here to get bed side decals made, next I may get him to do the Empire Logo for the hood.
