What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Is there anything different with the locking rear differential on the TRD Pro compared to the TRD Off Road? I read the press release and it sounded like they both have the same e-locker. Just curious if I missed something.

 

Curious, mine was built in October and started squeaking badly within a few weeks, but it just took a good hosing to get the crud out.

 

Mine was a December build and no noises yet. Has roughly 1300 miles.

 

Got the custom decals from @spieler put on the sides!! He did a great job making these and was a pleasure communicating with.

 

Don't think there is a difference in the rear lockers for those two. I was comparing the TRD pro to the TRD sport.

 

@andyr562 yea man lets meet up

 

Ordered a magnaflow muffler, in channel rain guards, sway bar relocater, and some longer u bolts.

Now I need to quit buying Tacoma things and start focusing on vacation.

Much easier said than done..

 

I was shocked to find out Toyota STILL does not sell a front skid plate for these. I want to remove the air dam but want a little protection up front. Always came as an option on my previous 1st and 2nd gen 2 wheel drives. Nothing wrong with aftermarket but I am not off roading in my rwd and don't need real armor.

 

Each light has two wires, red/black. Tie all reds together, tie all black together, i used a soldering gun and heat-shrink tubing to tie all together. Then ran one black to the battery negative connection, then one red to the fuse box using an add-a-fuse connection. Alternatively, and probably best, the kit comes with splice taps...you can tap the parking lights so when you turn them on, it will also turn on your 'raptor' lights.

Attaching the lights to the grill: I used one 1/4" by 1 1/2" rubber washer and one 3/8" fender washer from home depot (similar to these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-4-in-x-1-1-2-in-Black-Neoprene-Washer-815828/204276443 and http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt...eel-Fender-Washer-2-per-Pack-800531/204284503). I used the provided nut to attach to the grill (light in first, then from behind the grill I used the rubber washer, metal washer, nut)

Questions? PM me.

 

That trailer looks similar to mine, mine only weighs 950 lbs. I hated how it towed my trailer and new SXS the first time, but with ECT engaged and a few more trips with it I'm happy with it's towing ability.

 

WeatherTechs...

 

Missed this, sorry bro.

Yes I did! White SR5 XP rockstar package.

Loving the truck, and seem to be getting better gas mileage than I did with the 4cyl surprisingly.

I definitely don't have to press the gas as hard or as often to get to and maintain my speed so that could be why. Whatever the reason I'm not complaining LOL

 

If only this was the usual..

 

I think you are overlooking the fact that it is an even year...

 

Ha... Not even an even numbered year is going to give them a shot this year. Still transitioning from the Golden Era of Phillies Baseball (2007 - 2011) to one of the worst eras of Phillies baseball to what will be a very interesting era starting in 2018 when the transition is nearly completed.

 

Yep, SF is going to continue their even year dominance this year. 4 wins in 7 years.

 

I wouldn't bet against them, that's for sure.

 

Lots of people selling their stock skids on here.

 

Nice. Congrats!

 

I have both stock skid plates for sale if you're interested.
