Gracias, Sir!

 

Agreed. I told the guy straight from the get go that I was taking my bed may out when I traded in my 2011. Things stay where they are with no problems with that thing.

 

Yep. I all about Sony these days. Great set of gear man.

 

Wondering if the undercover is the same as the 2015 model. I only saw the option for tacos up to 2015 on their website.

 

i've seen the factory mat on ebay for as little as 86

 

My truck was new as of of December 2015 and today I performed two very minor maintenance items (check pressure in tires & check oil level). I then checked the oil catch can (moved over from my '15 Taco) and wanted to share the contents it caught the truck trying to recirculate into the intake. The truck has 3058 miles so I was surprised the oil catch can contained as much . . . stuff . . . in it as it did. The liquid it contained did not appear like used oil at all in any manner. It had the consistency of water and the color of a single creamer coffee. As can be seen in the photo there was a partial layer of thicker "stuff" below the liquid. I spoke to my salesman and he advised the new trucks contain detergent oil, but whether or not this new truck has "detergent" oil or regular oil, this is not a normal liquid to be recirculated back into the intake. I am going to take the majority of the oil catch can contents to the dealership tomorrow (I'm retaining a small portion in case it becomes necessary for me to have it tested independently). At this point I am not too super excited about this finding since the truck runs acceptable, with the exception of very crappy gas mileage (only averaging about 16.5 mpg and that's driving like I have one foot in the grave) and pathetic acceleration (for a V6 AND ECT button selected). Traded my '15 Taco for this '16 Taco and all things being equal I wish I had kept the '15. I am not going to bash on my '16 Taco, but I will say Toyota's Gen 3 WAS NOT a step in the right direction for people who really want a mid-size truck because they NEED a mid-size truck.

I like the idea of the oil catch can, got any instructions or info?

 

with 20 dollar shipping, unless your local of course...

 

It's not the same. The bed size is different. Call Undercover to confirm.
I installed the Undercover SE model in mine and it is different (size/length) than the 2015 model.

 

New BFG Ko2 tint and leather

 

Bilstein 5100 all the way around with 2 inch level up front and larger tires. Love the 4.7 v8

 

Got rear ended two weeks ago, nobody got hurt. I only had the truck for two weeks. I was livid but luckily my girlfriend was there and she calmed me down. Otherwise: "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?!"

Then I got it back and the Rebel arrived. De-badged it, stickers off. Rubber bed mat. Cap-pack drawer installed.


Dante and Juno dig it. "Is it bird season yet?"

 

I don't really know what I can tell you that you couldn't find way more information about. This site contains a lot of info, especially in the 2nd Gen forums. I have an ADD W1 oil catch can. It is a little smaller than some other cans but it is very well constructed. You can read about it here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/oil-catch-can.312623/. I don't know how much you know about oil catch cans but they essentially replace the pcv valve and "catch" whatever "stuff" the truck tries to recirculate into the intake. Here is a photo of where I have mine mounted (there is an OEM ?10mm? screw hole in the fender wall I used). This location was perfect in my '15 Taco, but using this screw hole sets the oil catch can directly above the relays and doesn't allow for the can removal without loosening it from the fender wall and turning it slightly. The oil catch can, can be mounted anywhere in the engine bay, but I chose a location that wouldn't require me to run extensive fuel line all over the engine compartment. I had a local machine shop fabricate the current bracket for my '15 Taco so I will probably go back to them to fabricate a bracket that will work better in my '16 Taco. The can I purchased is available in many colors and I believe I paid somewhere around $85 plus shipping for it, if I recall. Oil catch cans may seem like a novelty item. That is until the first time you see what crap it has stopped from going into your intake.

 

Just in case one photo wasn't enough.

 

Finally got my truck
TSB transmission update no issues shifts great cruse works as it should got the xtang tryfold hard bed cover put 145 miles today and I'm falling in love with the new 3RD gen
