What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Found this on the Toyota site. "Smart Key System on driver's door with Push Button Start (not available on M/T)"

Guess he has a Manual

 

I got 6spd manual maybe that's why

 

standard eqpt with manual, the cool factor.

 

Smart key would be nice but I can't drive auto, every time I drive my wife's auto car I brake too hard, i.drive too fast or too slow

 

To the people that are changing out their interior bulbs, when I look at the interior pics the light looks super bright. Does anyone find it to be to bright inside? I am curious

 

Just changed my oil with 1600 miles on the truck. Nice amount of fine metal shavings in the oil looked like glitter. Totally normal but I'm glad I didn't go to 10,000 miles. It was actually super easy to change with the new filter design. No issues at all. I would say that be careful tightening the filter. I just got it snug then put a tourqe wrench in it and it was already too tight! It's spring loaded so it Does not require much to get it to tight to remove. I did buy a nice filter wrench off Amazon that probably helped the process.

 

i'm about to hit 5k and wondering if i should do it myself first before the recommended 10k

 

I don't think it would hurt either way. I've just always done so on my new vehicles. And 10k just seemed like an awfully long time to me.

 

I changed all fluids at 2k except coolant, ps & brake fluid.

 

Also I did read in Toyotas own maintenance schedule that they recommend changing the oil at 5k if you do lots of short trips or tow frequently with the truck. So no matter what I think I'll always get it changed at 7k miles.

 

Care package was delivered today, had to pull the wheel in front of the car.

 

OMG HOW BIG ARE THOSE TIRES???!!!

OMG LCAs ?!?!

Yup LCAs UCAs shocks springs, will post a detailed thread once everything is installed

 

Not to bright at all. It's just about perfect!

 

Finished my project tonight

Really need to get a bed mat

 

Love the 16" wheels with the huge tires! Looks more like an off road beast that way. Nice setup! (cute dog, too)

 

I got these from Amazon... looks like they're not currently available though.

LED Lights for 2016+ Toyota Tacoma Interior Reverse Package Kit White 11pc

They are great! Not too bright at all. They aren't that blinding, hospital, antiseptic look. They look classy.
These are the kind you have to put in correctly for them to work, ie if they don't light up, turn them around.
Kit includes 2 map lights, 4 vanity mirror lights, dome light and 2 license plate lights. I actually take my license plate lights out. Nothing good could come out of people being able to see your license plate better, right?

 

I guess it depends on the led bulbs you use. Some have 4 leds per bulb, some 2 or 3. See post above #8994, I have that same kit and it is not super bright, but just right for me.

 

I think that's one of the best mods I've seen people doing on here. Is it on a switch or is it wired to light up when your door is open?
